ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was wonderful to work with from the first day we met her. We really appreciated the energy that Lisa put into helping us find our house, as well as all of the expertise she brought to the table and willingness to give direct feedback and advice. To ensure we could see as many properties as possible she also had her associate, Estelle, meet up with us and Estelle was also excellent to work with. Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had an amazing experience working with Lisa and her team. My wife and I have been living in NYC for some time now, but with a new kid we decided to escape and make the move up to Westchester. Lisa and Estelle were with us every step of the way, despite the craziness of the market at the time we were buying. They were fun to visit houses with and we never felt an ounce of pressure to buy or put down offers--if anything Lisa was there to advise us and protect us against making any bad decisions in our eagerness to find a home. With her experience we felt like we could trust her recommendations 100%--it's clear that she and Estelle love what they do and have the best interest of their clients at their heart, even when their clients are buyers and their payment will be coming from sellers. They are the ultimate professionals in this field. When we shifted our target area from northern Westchester to more southern Westchester/Yonkers area, Lisa stuck with us even though that's not her primary territory. She seems to know everything and everyone in real estate field of northern Westchester but even in this new territory she was able to use her connections to help us out. Her experience and connections in the field also make the whole process so much easier than it would be otherwise. She was able to connect us with a wonderful loan officer and bank for our mortgage, a lawyer to help us through the process once we settled on a house, and ultimately CertaPro painters who are currently painting our new house and refinishing the floors. As first-time homebuyers, whenever we had a question about how the homebuying process worked we turned to Lisa first and she always had an answer or connection. We would recommend Lisa to anyone in the process of buying or selling without a second's hesitation and will surely be working with her and her team again for any future sales or buys of our own.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was an excellent agent for the sale of our home. Her knowledge of the local market is extensive and she expertly guided us through the entire process resulting in us accepting an offer within three days of listing. Because of Lisa, we were able to maximize the sale price and we recommend her wholeheartedly.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs first time home buyers, we loved our experience with Lisa and Estelle!When we started our search we werent 100% sure what we were looking for but Lisa helped us narrow down towns/areas based on her local knowledge, and types of homes based on our needs. Lisa is a walking encyclopedia of the home buying process and we were kept in the loop of each step, and guided all the way through closing and beyond. Lisas response time was always immediate, and she stayed on top of everything and everyone involved to move things along. We couldnt have found our dream home without Lisa and Estelle and are forever grateful for their efforts on our behalf. Thank you!

ZillowVERIFIEDWhile selling my family home from 900 miles away Lisa proved herself indispensable and demonstrated master-level skills helping us navigate all the processes required to sell the home. Lisa went above and beyond many times and she kept the deal alive during hiccups along the way. Lisa is committed, hard-working, extremely bright, well connected in the industry, technology-savvy, optimistic, and HONEST. I'm giving Lisa Berliner 5 stars but truly she deserves more.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom start to finish Lisa & Estelle were very helpful, informative and amazing! Being a first time home buyer it is hard to find someone you can trust and like to help you find your perfect home. Even through a crazy year and viewing tons of homes, we were able to find the exact size, and location that we wanted. We couldn't be happier with this purchase! Highly recommend Lisa, Estelle and the entire William Raveis team!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was very helpful in helping us find our home and was quick to respond, act on our behalf and stayed on top of other people to get things done. Her contacts were friendly, professional, helpful, and easy to work with. And her experience made the process easier to understand and gave us peace of mind in the stressful housing market.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa and Estelle were incredibly helpful working with my wife and I to find the perfect home in South Salem.As first time home buyers we didn't know where to start. Lisa would explain the pros and cons of each home we visited covering things we didn't know much about such as oil tanks, well water, and septic, but also has a keen eye for what living in the home would be like. She quickly learned what our priorities were and sent us listings that matched (including up-and-coming properties that weren't listed yet).They were both very responsive. Either answering our calls immediately or texting back within 5-10 minutes.We saw upwards of 15 houses and when the perfect home was found, Lisa provided the guidance needed to negotiate an offer that would get it accepted without us overpaying. Her local contacts in the real estate world of northern Westchester made it easy for us to see houses quickly after we would ask about them, which was very important given how quickly houses were being taken off the market.Overall we couldn't have asked for a better team.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa Berliner was a God-send for us!It took only two conversations for her to have a good sense of what we were looking for. Once she had a clear picture of our needs and tastes, she found multiple options for us to look at. By the second weekend she had found the right house for us and guided us through the process every step of the way.We would highly recommend her!Jen and Gary

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I enjoyed meeting with Lisa regarding selling our Aunt's house. She and her associate, Estelle Silberman, are the best in the business. We reside in North Carolina and the communication was terrific.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I HIGHLY recommend Lisa. Being born and raised in NYC, we knew moving from Brooklyn to Westchester was going to be challenging for us, but Lisa's expertise made the experience so much simpler, easier, and less daunting.If you're looking for someone who can provide you expertise on neighborhoods and local rules (ie: zoning, building requirements, etc.), in-depth knowledge on renovations and helping identify issues as you tour homes (ie: boiler looks suspect), and negotiation prowess, she is the BEST agent for you.She will advocate for your family and will present a no nonsense demeanor that will help you bust through the stressful process of purchasing a home. We could not have purchased our home without her! THANK YOU LISA!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDIn this tough market the only reason we were able to land our dream home was because of Lisa. No matter what time of day it was, Lisa was always there to answer questions or book the next property to visit (does she ever sleep?). As a first time home buyer in a new area we relied heavily on her extensive knowledge in those towns and villages as well things to look out. Thank you Lisa for helping us get our new home.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa is amazing. She is extremely professional and reliable! She helped my husband and I find our dream home within months. We were extremely picky and she was able to find us exactly what we were looking for. She was extremely responsive in answering my emails and even answered most emails within minutes! I recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy a home! Even after the closing she followed up and kept in touch!

ZillowVERIFIEDAfter some research, I chose Lisa to help me with the sale of my home. I couldn't have made a better choice. She was very easy to work with and extremely helpful with the obstacles I encountered along the way; all this in a very professional and cheery manner. Lisa was very energetic and no problem was too big for her to resolve. She helped me hire a contractor, a painter after a major leak occurred mid listing. It was obvious that my best interest was her main objective. I would recommend her without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was the best realtor I have worked with. She listened to what we were looking to buy and quickly set up appointments. Anytime I had a question I would email her and get a quick response, I really appreciated how available she always was. She also suggested I look at Condos in case Coops were not what my family would like and spent the afternoon showing then all to me. Lisa provides excellent customer service and made our buying process seamless. The next time I am in the market to buy or sell I will be calling Lisa again!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa Berliner is a great partner to have when buying or selling a home. She is really hard working and out in the market trying to get the best deal she can for you. I have used her for a few sales and she is always the same. She provides honest and frank feedback based on her experience and knowledge of the market. She also provides counsel on how to make your property appealing and attractive to potential buyers without spending a ton of money. She is on top of the entire sales process and always available to provide support or advice (even when she is on vacation). I trust her and I would choose her again and again for any other selling or buying that I do. I would also highly recommend her to my friends.PS... the only reason I gave Lisa a 4 on local knowledge is because my property was outside of her normal selling area. I had reached out to her to come and help me sell it knowing that this was nother usual market. She did a fabulous job!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have been working with Lisa to find a new home for our family and to list our current home. When searching for a new home Lisa has been impressive with listening to our wants and needs. She has been realistic and honest with what she thinks will work for our family and situation. Her personality is wonderful as she is caring, outgoing, sophisticated and professional. She is readily available to show us any home we inquire about. With her knowledge of the area and experience with real-estate, it makes this process more enjoyable and smooth for us. We would highly recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking to purchase a new home.

Review for Member: Lisa Berliner
ZillowVERIFIEDLisa Berliner went far above any expectations I had with a real estate agent. Our story began long ago when we thought we didn't need an agent and would find everything ourselves because my wife and I are avid researches. After we realized we actually needed an agent we spoke to some on the phone and met some in person as well. While I imagine they are fine agents we were not impressed and didn't believe someone could bring value to us. This all changed when we met Lisa Berliner back in October 2012. After 5 minutes we knew Lisa was the best and the right Realtor for us. She immediately understood our "must haves" "wants" etc in a house and really took the time to get us as a couple. Lisa was very patient and showed us every house she could. She would often show us houses and say "OK Justin will love this, that and this" and "Lynn will hate this and that but LOVE this but this isn't the house for you. I am showing you for value". We went on numerous walk-throughs just to see what prices are in different neighborhoods and what you get for your money. Her efforts and dedication were second to none. Throughout the process we developed an amazing partnership I never imagined could exist. Being a first time home buyer we didn't really know what to expect but Lisa delivered with knowledge, assistance and constant enthusiasm. She even had her husband come to a house to look over before we put an offer in. I know this is my first time at the rodeo but I can't imagine anyone providing this much tailored and personal service. While I recommend Lisa to ANYONE looking to buy or sell a house, if you are a fun, first time home buyer, stop reading this post and call Lisa Berliner immediately. I can ensure you it will be the best decision you ever make towards home ownership. Thanks for everything Lisa, you are the best!

ZillowVERIFIEDWhere do I begin? My husband and 2 young children were in the market for a home in the Katonah area. We found a great house that met all of our needs. Being first-time home buyers, Lisa guided us through with patience, and humor. She streamlined the process so that the timing of making an offer, inspection, counter-offers, ultimately to contract review flowed day to day-- with no lapses. We look forward to using Lisa again in the future!

Review for Member: Lisa Berliner
ZillowVERIFIEDI worked with Lisa on the sale of my home.She was hands off but present prior to getting an offer and pleasant in that she never rushed us in lowering the price. However, she seemed to be having a bit too much on her plate and rarely followed up on actionnables that she, herself, had suggested could help.Once we had an accepted offer, Lisa disapproved of the lawyer we picked. From then on, she became unresponsive and distanced herself from the process. We only heard from Lisa once -- a voice mail message -- in the following 8 weeks, and that was after I had contacted her manager to complain about it. She was not only unhelpful, she added an unnecessary layer of stress to a stressful process.

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you are looking to buy or sell a home -- or do both at the same time -- you can't go wrong with Lisa Berliner. Within about three months of listing our house, we accepted an offer that met our needs. A few weeks later, we had our offer accepted on our new dream home. The entire experience, from listing our home for sale to moving into our new home, took less than six months. During that time, Lisa was an encyclopedia of advice on everything from preparing our home for showings to negotiating to finding the right inspector to getting great contractors. She was honest, knowledgable and a calming influence in a crazy process. She went above and beyond what we ever imagined to make sure that everything went as smoothly as possible. She always listened to our concerns and always represented our needs in the process. She was always available to us. We truly can't say enough about Lisa.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I used Lisa Berliner when considering a relocation to West Chester County. In my past experience with Realtors, I have yet to meet one as helpful and available as Lisa. She responded to my inquiries within no time, laid out so many considerations that we needed in choosing a property and provided us with excellent local information. She truly went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Lisa!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa helped us with what was an urgent and challenging situation and delivered fantastic results almost immediately. She clearly possesses a deep knowledge of both the local market in general and real estate sales in particular. She demonstrated an ability to think outside the box to deliver solutions. Her energy was truly amazing and after a short time, it was no longer a surprise to receive emails from her at anytime of the day or night. And perhaps best of all, Lisa genuinely cares more about her clients than about the deal. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to sell or purchase a property.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was great...she went so above and beyond, including helping me find contractors to fix some things up and movers on the tail end. She did a nice job of staging the house, bought flowers and air freshener when we were out of town, and Lisa was always there to discuss our options. If you are looking for a full service broker who can get your house sold or find you a great opportunity to buy a house, definitely definitely definitely speak with Lisa

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I wanted to thank Lisafor helping us get settled in Somers. We both appreciated her extensive knowledge of the area and her responsiveness. We were fortunate to have her on our side as we made the move cross-country to Westchester.She was so generous with her time, taking me on tours of the area and speaking with my wife cross-country over the many months that we orchestrated this move. In real estate, timing can be so important, and she was always willing to rearrange her schedule to accommodate a showing on a new listing or follow up with another agent. During negotiations, she was professional and capable, and we appreciated her good sense of humor during what was a very stressful time for us.We highly recommend lisa as an experienced and knowledgeable real estate agent in the Westchester/Putnam area.It was a pleasure to work with her.
