    WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

    "Liza was fantastic to work with. Above all, I appreciated her honesty and transparency. If she wasn’t sure of the answer to our question, she would find out and get back to us in a timely fashion. She is extremely responsive and very flexible with our busy schedule. She truly cares about helping you find the right home and her attention to detail helped ensure we had a smooth move in process. Excellent communication skills and very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend to others."


    - Jessica K.

    “Delightfully wonderful experience buying our second home with Liza. She is very responsive to calls, emails, and texts. She takes her time to explain all the facts and moving parts. She reaches and collaborates seamlessly with all the players (loan officer, seller's agent, inspectors, repair men, etc.). Additionally, she brings calmness to what is usually a stressful transaction. She understands the urgency of negotiation and the importance of advocating for her client. She knows the strategies behind structuring a strong offer. She gave us suggestions, we followed her advice, and our offer was accepted very quickly after that. We secured the home even against multiple other offers. We are glad that she was on our side."


    - Irene M.

    "Liza did a fantastic job!! The process went extremely smooth and much easier than we could have ever hoped for. Her expertise and knowledge of the process from start to finish was top notch. Liza would always call to explain what she was sending and follow it up with an email. Never any questions as to what she was sending nor what was needed."
