Lisa and her team at Compass are incredible -- we worked with them for a short and intense search for just the right house for our family in this crazy Austin market. We interviewed three realtors and Lisa stood out as super positive, knowledgeable, and determined. Lisa listened to what we wanted and never steered us wrong. When she wasn't available (which wasn't often), her team members stepped up and showed us houses around our schedule, which included many early mornings with our little kids! As a result, we were able to buy just the right house in our ideal neighborhood at a great price. She is still providing advice and contacts as needed, several months after buying the house. We are so glad we chose Lisa and her team -- we'd do it all over again in a heartbeat! read more

Lisa is hands down, the best realtor out there! We interviewed 3 different realtors and Lisa stood out to us. She has all the qualities you'd want in a realtor and more. My husband and I were on the house hunt for a year and a half and she stuck with us the whole time, never rushing us. She is patient, extremely professional, personable, and a go-getter. She's on top of it and goes the extra mile to get you the information you need, without hesitation. We finally got our dream house, all thanks to Lisa. Best of all, we feel that we didn't overpay in this crazy Austin market. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a realtor. read more

Lisa is best in the business TL;DR: We are extremely happy with the services offered by Lisa. She went above and beyond in helping us buy a property in the Austin area. We do not think we could have completed this purchase without her help. Detailed review: As out-of-state buyers, we accidentally stumbled across Lisa's profile on the internet and reached out to her. We had a narrow window of opportunity to complete our purchase while we were in town and we were successful primarily because of Lisa's help. In hindsight, Lisa was exactly what we were looking for: ^ Extremely knowledgeable about the Austin real estate market. ^ Put her client's interest above everything else. ^ Trustworthy, patient, communicative, and available throughout the process. Lisa has also continued to support us post-purchase. We are genuinely happy with her services and have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking to buy/sell their home in the larger Austin area. read more

Lisa helped me buy the perfect home in a difficult Austin seller's market! Since I was a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot to learn and she was happy to share her knowledge and advice along the way. She was responsive and informative through every stage of the process. Once I found the home I wanted to submit an offer on, she helped guide me into putting together a strong offer that resulted in my very first offer being accepted! I've heard horror stories of people submitting over 8 offers in this difficult market with none accepted, and I absolutely believe Lisa is to thank for the process going quickly and smoothly. read more

I first met Lisa when I began the search process for my first home purchase. She was able to find me what has turned out to be the perfect first home, which I purchased in February 2017. Lisa has a keen ability to help homebuyers hone their search criteria and find potential homes that fit within that list. I enjoyed every bit of the process with her as my guide on the biggest purchase I'd experienced in life so far! I continued to stay in touch with Lisa throughout the years (she still checks in and makes herself available, even after you close!), and a couple months ago, my husband and I decided to begin searching for the next home. The moment we made that decision, we immediately reached out to Lisa. There was no question she would be the perfect broker to guide us to a successful next home! I am confident that, should you choose to work with Lisa, you will be knowledgeable, capable hands that will advocate for your needs, answer any and all questions you may have, and work hard to provide the smoothest closing process. read more

We worked with Lisa as first-time homebuyers this year -- in the midst of a pandemic, no less! Lisa treated us with the utmost professionalism and care, and was a sound voice of reason throughout the homebuying process. (Naturally, we had many questions!) She helped us narrow down neighborhoods and properties, guided us through negotiations and advised us through the financing process. I highly recommend working with Lisa, whether you're a seasoned homebuyer or a first-timer! read more

I am a first time homebuyer and just purchased my first home in November with Lisa in Austin. Lisa was referred to me by a friend who had previously bought two properties with Lisa. Throughout the entire buying process, Lisa was so helpful, attentive and friendly. As a first time buyer I had many questions and Lisa was extremely patient with me and never made me feel like I was asking a dumb question. In a competitive offer pool (my house had 7 offers in 48 hours of showing!) Lisa advised and advocated for me and was able to help me secure my dream home. I have been and will continue to recommend Lisa to all of my friends in the Austin area. Thanks Lisa! read more

Lisa is incredible! My wife and I walked into this not knowing the first thing about buying a house. We started from zero. Lisa was able to recommend us a lender who got us an incredible interest rate and, later, had a deep rolodex of trusted folks who handled our inspection, tree trimming and beyond. She always made us feel comfortable even as we said to No to home after home. I truly felt like she was on our side the whole time. The home we eventually bought had some, uh, challenges, but Lisa had the knowledge and expertise that kept us from getting caught unaware and more than fairly compensated for the headaches. I'm sure there are lots of realtors out there who treat home buyers like they just walked onto a used car lot, but Lisa showed a lot of respect and patience for us as we stumbled into our dream home. You'd be lucky to work with her! read more

Lisa is a rockstar real estate agent. She met all of our expectations, and more. She always had our best interests in mind and let us know her honest thoughts as we viewed houses. Her efficiency, communication, and support meant the world to us. We truly found an agent that was better than we could have imagined. Thank you so much Lisa! read more

Lisa made the Austin home-buying process super-easy! She's great at what she does. In certain parts of the process we wanted to move extra-fast and she matched our momentum with no problem (responding right away and taking actions quickly). Other times we needed a moment for consultation and we never felt those were rushed at all. Can't recommend her enough! read more

Huge thanks to Lisa for helping me find "the one" on only our 2nd trip out together (pro tip: Labor Day is a great time to make an offer while everyone else is snoozing lakeside). Austin is a super competitive market, and Lisa knows it well, and was very proactive in sending me new listings and/or offering useful feedback on those that I found. She was incredibly professional, responsive, informative and extraordinarily KIND throughout the entire process -- from bidding to negotiating to getting my contract wrapped for closing. I found my house within a month of first connecting with Lisa, and closed within two months of our first meeting. I can't recommend her enough as a realtor! read more

Here's the deal, this lady is the bomb! She's 100% the agent you wanted, dreamed about and need. Stick with me for a few minutes and I'll explain why. A few years back, I got connected with her when looking for a home in Austin. We met and she gave me a 1 on 1 of who, what, where, when and why. I needed the lesson. Now, we searched for months and never found what I wanted, but she never let me settle either. Then I had a life path change and had to leave town. Seasons went by and I came back to Austin to an apartment. I moved in with my fiancé and then we got married. All this time I still knew when it was time to find a home she was on my list of who I was going to work with. Now if you know anything about the housing market in Austin in the last 3 years, you know home prices are driven by the hundreds of people who are moving here. Originally my partner and I stopped at open houses and did weekend Zillow searches. It was exhausting. We had a crap weekend trying to fit in 5 open houses in 4 hours. Two left us feeling like we were trying to buy respect from a narcissist. We had a long talk over lunch and I said, why don't we meet with an agent I've used before. Once my partner met Lisa, that was all it took. From then on, she gave us the guidance we needed, the freedom to figure out what we were looking for and the tools and confidence to get through the process. She is hands down one of the kindest and most patient people ever. We talked expectations, likes and must haves. Lisa set up a search for us. We paired it down over and over. We changed our ideal geographical area twice, once was a major move. The whole time Lisa was supportive and gave an honest answer or opinion for every question we had. It was a long journey but we finally found our home. Lisa made the purchasing experience easy. She genuinely cared. So months later, during an already crazy time, when my father in law passed away from cancer and we needed to start gathering information so we could help my mother in law begin the process of selling the home they shared... Again I thought of Lisa, despite the home was in another state. I reached out to her for help in locating an agent like her or any advice on how to find her doppelgänger. She not only jumped in both feet, she took the task on completely so we didn't have to stress but so we had time to grieve. Now if you've read this far you understand why I sing praise for this amazing human being. You need her. You need her to tell you when things aren't right. You need her to tell you what really matters. You need her to help you find what you want. You need her to advise you in the process of home searching and purchasing. She knows her stuff. She's a good agent and more importantly she's GOOD PEOPLE. You won't regret working with her. I recommend her to anyone who says they're looking or thinking about looking. So call her already!!! read more

My husband and I worked with Lisa to purchase our home in Austin. We were relocating for work from out of state, during Covid-19, and had never even been to Austin. Lisa was so helpful in guiding us to the right neighborhood for us. She did countless virtual showings and when we finally found our perfect house she was so communicative and clearly explained all of the differences between Texas and Colorado. We were unable to travel to see the house before closing on it, so Lisa really helped make us feel confident about buying the house site unseen. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. She is very responsive, a great communicator, and clearly works very hard for her clients even after closing. read more

In a market like Austin's, you don't just need a competent real estate agent, you need a passionate one. Lisa is that agent. Buying my home was a combination of high-speed decisions and stress, mixed with a tinge of heart-break. Lisa was consistently the bright spot of the entire experience (aside from the house I ended up buying, of course). When I first emailed Lisa, she responded quickly, set up a time to meet over the next few days, and set up my email notifications for new listings immediately after speaking with her. As soon as a house came up that I wanted to see, she was quick to offer times that would work for both of us, usually the same day. When we walked through a house, she pointed out things I should be concerned with, like damage to the foundation in one house, the unknowns of vinyl siding, and so on. She also has knowledge of remodeling, and she was able to give me ballpark estimates on what it would cost to do this or that in the homes I viewed. When I wanted to make an offer, she was quick to give me comps, give me a good idea on what terms to offer, and draft the offer. Of the two homes I made an offer, we were the first to submit both times, highlighting how prompt Lisa is in getting the things you need done. When homes are only on the market for a few days, that's not just nice-to-have but a downright necessity. Wait and it's gone. Let's face it, buying a home in Austin right now is a nightmare. With so many buyers and so little inventory, homes move off the market quickly and figuring out how much above asking to offer, as well as what terms to offer, what's a good area, what things should you concern yourself with, what you can ignore, and so on. For a first time home buyer like myself, I wouldn't stand a chance. Luckily for me, I found Lisa, and she helped me find my home. read more

Lisa is super duper wonderful. She helped us sell our first home and we were completely clueless to begin with. We met her the first time and she immediately put us on ease. She answered every questions via email or texts without fail and trust me I asked her a LOT of questions! She's knowledgeable, bubbly and always positive. Her listing and flyer were incredible too. Her photographer made our house looked amazing in pictures and I truly believe that's one of the reason that we sold our house quickly (4 days!). While waiting for closing, she kept us posted on any updates even helped us researching for some temporary housing while we are waiting for our new house to be completed. She's truly a gem from start to finish and I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. We are happy that the house has sold but definitely going to miss her a lot! Her co-worker John Dunham was awesome too! He assisted us while she's away on business trip, diligently sending us paperwork for us to sign, giving us recommendations and texting us with updates. Thank you John! read more

Lisa was a friend before we hired her as our realtor, so we knew we wouldn't go with anyone else! We are first-time homebuyers and Lisa made the process so easy, comfortable, and fun. She will give her honest (expert) opinion whenever you ask it of her, but she is also so good at staying neutral and weighing pros and cons with you on site. We found the perfect house in less than a month of searching and we're so happy. Lisa did all the heavy-lifting for us--reviewing complex paperwork and communicating with the seller to get us a great deal and address any and every issue before closing. She's such a sweet and knowledgable person and I have already been recommending her to friends left and right. read more

Lisa helped me purchase my first home. It was a real treat to work with her, and she clearly deserves her ABR (accredited buyer'a representative) designation. She helped me understand the entire process, helped me set my search criteria, and gave me great advice throughout the process. She responds quickly to phone calls, texts, and emails. After inspection, the inspector advised that the roof be looked at by a roofer, and Lisa had a guy take a look at it at no cost to me. I have no idea if that's normal or expected (why should it be?), but it was nice because I would have no idea how to get someone on such short notice like that. I haven't worked with other Realtors before, so I can't compare my experience, but from start to finish, she was really on top of things, and demonstrated good knowledge and experience, and the end result is I purchased a home that I really like. I can't think of a single complaint. I also worked with Matt Kreutz, who works with her, when she was on vacation or otherwise unavailable to meet me, so I'll take this opportunity for a "shout out " of sorts here for Matt as well. read more

I've gone through the buy/sell process with Lisa 3x over the last 10 years and had countless friends do the same. From purchasing a condo as a first time buyer to recently closing on a new home in the midst of a pandemic, she's always such a down-to-earth gem to work with! Buying/selling in our crazy market can seem overwhelming at times, but she keeps you grounded & on track with her knowledgeable, passionate and supportive spirit. What I admire about Lisa is how she meets you where you are and keeps you honest without rushing you in anyway. She also goes above and beyond to help maximize your $$. Can't say enough good things about her, highly recommend! read more

We adore Lisa and are so happy to have worked with her to find our new home. We had her take us to look at a LOT of houses before we found ours. Her good humor, patience and optimism never flagged - even when we made last-minute requests, were running late, or were filled with indecision or regret. She is super thorough and always alerted us to red flags in houses and made sure to ask the right questions to reveal any problematic hidden conditions. She is super prompt about getting you the info you want, writing bids, etc. And best of all, she is so sweet and generous: she sincerely cared about us and our growing family and frequently surprised is with treats and other thoughtful touches. I am so grateful that we lucked out with Lisa as our realtor and hope we continue to stay in touch! read more

I have bought and sold two homes with Lisa, and I'll use her with my next purchase/sell as well. She is truly and advocate for her clients, and fights for what they want. She is always flexible and works well and thrives within the parameters her clients give her. Her knowledge and experience is invaluable, and has a forever client in me! read more

I've done business with Lisa and her colleagues at Juice several times. She has strong market knowledge, is very organized, professional, and is a true pleasure to work with. She helped us achieve almost 10% more price than we had budgeted on the sale of our house. She also assisted us with crucial tips to increase the house's marketability. read more

I cannot recommend Lisa enough! If you are looking to sell or buy your home in Austin, Lisa is the realtor you want on your team! Lisa's knowledge of the Austin real estate market is outstanding. I recently moved out of Austin and had to sell the first house I ever owned. This was a very emotional process for me and Lisa was there to hold my hand through every step of the way. Not only did Lisa help me get the house ready for market in a tight time frame, but she also smoothly negotiated a closing price significantly over the listing price.  Day or night, Lisa was always available to talk over any question or concern no matter how big or small. I was out of town when the house went on the market and Lisa took care of everything!  Lisa takes her work seriously. She is efficient, warm, committed to her clients, and always two steps ahead.  She is an absolute joy to work with and I couldn't imagine navigating this process without her. Thank you Lisa!!! read more

I picked Lisa based on all the positive internet reviews and I am glad I did. She was very responsive, always focused on our needs and maintained excellent communication throughout the process. At every step, she went above my expectations. I highly recommend her! read more

As first time home buyers, we could not have asked for a better experience with Lisa guiding us through the process every step of the way. Lisa came highly recommended from a friend, and exceeded all expectations. From the first time we met, she was informative, supportive, honest, and we knew she had our backs. Lisa always responded to all of our questions in a very timely manner, with a great amount of diligence, and we appreciated how she was always available to meet at a moment's notice. No question or request was too big, too small, or not important. We felt that from the beginning, she was truly committed to helping us find the perfect home for us. Needless to say, she went above and beyond to help us find exactly what we were looking for. read more

Lisa helped me and my husband purchase our most recent house and it was a great experience working with her. She is smart, proactive, has a great deal of experience, and was really great to work with. The purchase of our home did not go smoothly, and there were many curve balls thrown our way. Lisa really thought through all the scenarios and kept our best interests at heart always. She really looked out for us and her wealth of experience helped us navigate through it. She also worked well with everyone involved, to make the purchase go as smooth as possible, and to get the best outcome for us. We couldn't recommend her highly enough!!!! read more

My husband and I were working with another agent and we did not feel like we were a priority for that agent. We live in the same neighborhood as Lisa and knew her reputation, so we reached out to her to see if it felt like a good fit. We immediately felt well taken care of and Lisa worked extremely hard for us in a very competitive market. She contacted owners of homes that we liked and she managed to get us into several homes before they even hit the market. Once we found the house that we wanted, everything moved very quickly and Lisa managed to get an offer ready and submitted before we found ourselves in a multiple offer situation. We have been extremely happy with Lisa and highly recommend her. We also used her to list our home and it sold before it even hit the market, well over asking! read more

Lisa Harrell is a wonderful and dedicated real estate agent. Although we were building a new home as opposed to buying an existing one, she provided valuable and helpful information and assistance to us every step of the way. She was available to meet with us, often at the last minute, and her winning personality and knowledge of the market and the process was incredible. Lisa helped make everything easier and pleasant for us, from arranging meetings with our builder and mortgage company to ironing out details on the title. She thought of things we wouldn't have known otherwise, and I greatly enjoyed working with her. She is a consummate professional who handles communications and meetings with grace. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Lisa, for being with us through the process and especially on closing day by helping us celebrate our new home. We will definitely use you for all our future Austin real estate needs! read more

As newcomers to Austin, we were not familiar with the neighborhoods. This is the 4th home we have purchased and Lisa was an exceptional partner to work with. From the first conversation, Lisa did an outstanding job of listening to our requirements and immediately recommended areas where we should focus our search. Right away she identified a home that was not yet listed on the main websites and worked with us to get in to see the house quickly. The market in this area of Austin was so hot that we had to make an offer right away. Lisa's expertise and ability to strategically navigate a multiple offer situation, resulted in us getting the perfect house for our needs. In addition, Lisa was diligent in her follow up with all partners involved (bank, inspectors, etc) and ensured that the closing, which occurred within 3 weeks, went smoothly. We feel very fortunate to have worked with Lisa, she is truly one of a kind. read more
