Featured Testimonial

Lisa was absolutely wonderful to work with and I can not recommend her enough. I was moving from Texas to Illinois and was referred to Lisa by a close friend. This was my first time buying so I was a little nervous,

especially because I was still out of state and wouldn't be able to view properties very quickly. However, Lisa took care of everything for me... with complete grace. She answered any and all questions I had, checked in

with me almost daily, and would immediately schedule showings if I was interested and just facetime me in.

It all felt so seemless. One morning, I had sent her a property that caught my attention. She immiately called, said she got in touch with the selling agent and was heading to go see it in an hour. She facetimed me in, I really liked it & she said it was the one for me so I decided to put an offer in. All in one day! And now I'm sitting in the kitchen of that property writing ths testimonial. Would use her again 10/10 and am so thankful I did,
