Featured Testimonial
We couldn’t be more grateful to have had Lisa as our realtor—she is truly amazing! From the very beginning of our home-buying journey, Lisa was there every step of the way, helping us search for the perfect home for
our growing family. She was incredibly responsive, always available to answer the many questions we had (and we had a lot!). Her insights were spot on, and she quickly understood what was important to us, going
above and beyond to help us find a home that not only matched our needs but exceeded our expectations.
 
Lisa immediately scheduled a showing, and once we decided to make an offer, she jumped into action. Thanks to her experience and strong negotiation skills, we were able to beat out multiple offers (including all
cash ones!). She helped us make strategic choices—like raising our offer slightly and agreeing to purchase AS IS—that ultimately helped us win our dream home. We are beyond thankful for Lisa and Wenzel Select
Properties. We highly recommend.

Predicting the fate of the real estate market in America for 2026 is probably more precarious than in recent years with prices continuing to hit record highs, mortgage costs challenging buyers and the direction of the economy uncertain.
