We met Lisa over a year ago. She was so patient as we explained what we were looking for in a property. Anything that was not clear from us, she would ask clarifying questions. Anything we did not understand she patiently explained it to us. As time seemed to linger on, my husband's concern was she would get tired of sending us information or not want to work with us due to our specifications. She diligently met us at each house offering suggestions on how to make a house work for our needs. There were times, we both knew a house just was not right. She knew the market as well as the people to introduce us to for mortgage referrals and other needs. When we walked into the home we just purchased, it seemed we all just knew - this was the place. We so appreciated Lisa as an agent, but also feel we know her as a friend. She always had our best interest at heart. She treated us with respect and as "people" not just an "income". I highly recommend Lisa for your housing needs. (When we look for our next facility, we will be using Lisa.)
