I've bought and sold houses and apartments for the past 35 years and Lisa is the best real estate…read moreagent I've ever had. I'm going to tell you why. 1) Lisa is a professional. She dots i's and crosses t's because, whether you're buying or selling, this is a big investment and she's not going to drop the ball. if she doesn't know something, she's going to find out. She's the kind of person who drives to a location the day before so she's sure she knows where she's going and won't be late. She's got this. She does not make you nervous. 2) Lisa is smart. She is representing you and she gets deals done. She understands human nature and will also protect you against yourself, if you let her (things can get emotional). 3) She's a generous people person. She likes people... so you're getting someone who will smile, make eye contact, and extend herself. She wants you to be happy. She does what she says she'll do and she keeps in touch. Lisa is the first one to offer to meet you and the other broker more than halfway. 4) Lisa believes in positive vibes and she tells the truth. We need more people on this planet who believe in karma and holy cow, this is especially true in today's crazy world. 5) She's also an interior decorator with a wickedly good eye. As a seller's agent, she's going to tell you how to show your house to advantage. As a buyer's agent, she's going to see things that you may miss, Ok, now for specifics. She sold my 2mm+ house -- we went from signing the agreement, to staging, to photos, to listing, to showing, to multiple offers, to signed contract in one week, with strategic hand holding in a tough transaction every step of the way. She then, at the same time, navigated the most seamless and pleasant purchase or a highly coveted beach condo with all four parties (2 agents, buyer, seller) emerging as... friends. I closed on both transactions within 5 days. If you have a chance to work with her, grab it. You're welcome ;)

Where do I even begin... All you need to know is Lisa is the unicorn in her profession. I had…read moreprobably been looking for about 6 months on and off and then one magical day I ran into Lisa at an open house and the rest is history. Lisa worked with me for countless hours, even answering questions for me first thing in the morning and very late at night. I WAS a first time home buyer, and as she promised, she found me my very own place! I still can't believe it, as I am writing this. Lisa was so helpful in every aspect of the process and I am forever indebted to her. THANK YOU LISA, for not just being an amazing realtor but also friend as well!

Drove sale price up and with held his in house own offer from table until he knew we would not go any higher. Then decides its ethically time to hand deal over to sellers attorney.

And found and purchased a much better dream home. In the end thanks he did us a favor really.....

Buying a house - it's one of the biggest financial moves in most people's lives, and also one of…read morethe biggest PITA's. Lawyers, township red tape, lenders, inspectors, etc.. the list goes on and on, and most of them (especially the banks) seem hell bent on making life as miserable as possible throughout the ordeal. Under the recommendation from a coworker, I came here after our previous agent failed to find us anything decent. Thankfully, Carol came through with shining colors. Now, I'm not TOO picky of a guy, but I knew what we wanted in a house, and how much we wanted to spend. Most importantly, I didn't want any salesman BS about how "with only a little bit of work, you can knock down these six walls, build a new kitchen, finish the basement, and do a small addition to the bedroom", or that buying a craphole of a house was a "great investment". In the wake of Hurricane Sandy & the housing bubble, a lot of people were trying to sell their beaten-up / tiny / unkempt houses for *way* more than they were worth, and Carol was there - day after day, putting up with us and my (often crass) sense of humor while we hunted for a place where the sellers weren't nuts. Looking at houses felt like hanging out with a friend, not being pressured into buying by a pushy salesperson. If I had to do it all over again, I'd most certainly come back here. I'm pretty sure if it weren't for Carol, I'd probably have given up looking at houses entirely, and ended up in some tiny apartment for the next 10 years.
