ZillowVERIFIEDLisa is phenomenal to work with! My fiancA(C) and I are first-time home buyers and Lisa went above and beyond to help us find our home. She is incredibly detail oriented and thoroughly explains everything to you during the home buying process. She is not only incredibly knowledgable of the area, but knows exactly what to look for to make sure you are getting the best. She truly cares for the people she works with, especially first-time buyers. We are so lucky to have had Lisa help guide us and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa is attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. As first-time home buyers, we appreciated how Lisa advocated for our needs and kept us informed every step of the way. She offered excellent insight into the local market and provided advice based on analysis of market trends and comparables. Navigating this competitive market would have been much harder without Lisa's help! We highly recommend her!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was a pleasure to work with, extremely competent in her job and very knowledgeable of the local market. She walked us through every stage of the process and proactively addressed issues and opportunities as they arose. Lisa was always there. Responsive, positive, encouraging and knowledgeable, she walked us the the entire process with ease and integrity. It's not always easy to find someone who is empathetic, caring and able to understand your questions and concerns, but she was always did. I never had to repeat myself. Later, we found out she had a background in retail management, which certainly made sense, given her abilty to manage process and people and solve anything that comes your way. I would highly recommend Lisa. We will certainly use her again should we be in the market again.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was invaluable in our first home purchase. She helped make something that was so daunting feel far less stressful and much more attainable. Lisa's vast knowledge and experience really helped us through every stage of finding the right home. Lisa made sure to ask questions of us as well to help narrow our search for the perfect home. She was ready to answer any questions at any time and had great insights, which was so great for us going into home buying for the first time. I can't recommend Lisa enough, she made it possible and I'm so grateful that we had her as our real estate agent!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was fantastic! We were first time homebuyers and Lisa was patient and guided us through the process with ease. We had a job opportunity come up in a different location, and Lisa was willing to expand her normal scope of service to make sure we found our home. She was very responsive at any time day or night which was greatly appreciated. We couldnt be happier with where we ended up and cant thank Lisa enough for helping us land softly!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa is truly a fairy godmother of real estate! She made the entire process of selling my condo and purchasing my new home feel effortless. From staging and showings to setting everything up for sale, Lisa handled every detail with care and professionalism. She also coordinated the inspection, connected me with a great attorney, and made sure both closings went smoothly. I always felt supported and informed every step of the way. Highly recommend Lisa- shes not just a realtor, shes a true advocate who goes above and beyond for her clients.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa is a wonderful realtor with the patience of Job. She's a GEM! She worked with us off and on for several years as we were on the fence about committing to the next chapter of our lives as we seasonally relocate from AZ to Palatine ... our beloved hometown. She knew our needs and wants and was of invaluable assistance in guiding us to the right, spacious, recently updated condo in a great 32-unit building in downtown Palatine within walking distance to everything we need. She's become a trusted friend. She's simply outstanding.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa loves helping people find (or sell) homes and it shows in her work! She is quick to respond and has extensive knowledge of things to look out for.

ZillowVERIFIEDWonderful! I can't say enough about Lisa. She is on top of everything -- we had absolutely NOTHING to worry about. With so many things going on during a sale and a move for us, we had no worries as she kept us informed constantly. She assisted with the sale of the furniture in our house, the pickup of what furniture we didn't sell - she did EVERYTHING. What an easy experience we had.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are so glad we had Lisa help us find a new home as well as sell our previous one. Her years of experience showed throughout the whole process. She was readily available to see new homes and gave valuable insight on the pluses, minuses and possibilities of each property. She staged our previous home beautifully and sold it a slow sales time of year in a short period of time. She also had solid recommendations for lawyers, movers, appraisers, roofers, painters, you name it! Lisa's expertise made the whole process a lot less stressful knowing she had it all covered. Thank you, Lisa!

ZillowVERIFIEDIf youre in the Schaumburg, IL area and looking for a top-notch realtor, look no further than Lisa. I recently had the pleasure of working with her, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, Lisa demonstrated an impressive level of knowledge and expertise that truly set her apart. Lisas insight into the home-buying process was invaluable. She skillfully guided me through the many tricks homeowners use to hide defects, which gave me peace of mind and ensured I was making an informed decision. Her attention to detail didnt stop there; during our house search, she expertly navigated a highly competitive market where many properties were being overbid. Thanks to her strategic approach, we were able to close on a fantastic home for $20,000 under the list price. Lisas negotiation skills were top-notchaEUR"she didnt just focus on the big things but also addressed minor issues from pipes to appliances, ensuring everything was in order. Furthermore, she provided a comprehensive network of trusted contacts, including mortgage lenders, lawyers, inspectors, and even a contractor for future home additions. Each contact was as knowledgeable and professional as Lisa herself, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. I found Lisa by researching top realtors in the Schaumburg area, and I couldnt be happier with my choice. As a real person with no personal connection to Lisa, I can confidently say that her services are worth every penny. If you want a realtor who is dedicated, skilled, and genuinely invested in finding the best for her clients, Lisa is the one to call.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was amazing to work with as we were buying our home. She knew the areas well, helped us sort through inventory and evaluate options. Once we found a home we wanted to purchase, she helped us negotiate a fair price. Since we were living out of state, she personally coordinated inspections and got answers for all of our questions. We are so happy to have found Lisa and will definitely work with her again when we make our next move.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was great and very helpful in the home buying process out here in the northwest suburbs. She knows the area well and was quick to respond to any questions and was able give good advice on homeownership. Lisa was also able to get home tours arranged quickly in this competitive market. Although it took a couple of tries to get an offer accepted in this market, I was able to get a nice property on the edge of Barrington near the Fox river. I would definitely recommend Lisa to help you out for your next home purchase.

ZillowVERIFIEDFinding a new home can be daunting, especially in the current market, but working with Lisa made it an enjoyable process. We had some pretty specific selection and time-driven criteria, and from the moment Lisa started working with us, she truly understood all of our needs and wants - and delivered. Right away, Lisa impressed us with her responsiveness, process expertise, in-depth knowledge of the areas we were looking in, and patience when it came to our laundry list of specifications, questions, and concerns. She is also just a fantastic person and a pleasure to be around in addition to being great to work with. Lisa was always available to answer our questions, kept us informed every step of the way, and provided advice on negotiating the best possible outcome for our home. Thanks to Lisa, we were able to find a home that ticked all of our boxes, and I'm truly grateful for the experience. I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a realtor who's not just competent, but truly invested in their clients' success.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was amazing. We had the difficult task of moving from the west coast with only one weekend to choose and make an offer on a house. She set aside the time we needed while in town and showed us a wide range of options. She was able to guide us through the process in order to make it on time for the first day of school!! In addition, she is always there for us with local recommendations on restaurants, contractors and services. She genuinely cares and is great with follow through on all concerns and questions. Thanks Lisa!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa did an outstanding job selling our mom's townhouse. Her expertise was vital as she knew the area and the market and provided us with key contacts to fix things within the house. She did a fantastic job marketing our house with her network before it went on the market. She made the process easy and had excellent ideas for staging our house. She was friendly, had excellent communication skills, and was a true pleasure to work with during this process. I would work with her again and recommend her 100%!

ZillowVERIFIEDI worked with Lisa on the purchase of our home in West Dundee and was extremely impressed with her skills and commitment to serving her clients well. But it wasn't until we listed our home for sale that I experienced and understood the extent of her expertise. From guidance on staging, pricing and navigating a tricky market during a relocation to her negotiating on our behalf with four serious buyers (all at or over asking) in less than a week, she remains calm and confident. Not to mention navigating the expected unexpected obstacles to close, Lisa continuously went above and beyond. She genuinely loves what she does and it is felt at every step. I highly recommend her for any real estate transaction regardless of scale or degree of complexity.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa and her team are nothing short of excellent! Lisas professionalism, friendliness, and responsiveness made buying my first home so easy. As a first time home buyer, the entire process can be a bit intimidating but Lisa always took the extra time to ensure we were getting a great deal and that everything made sense. Her swiftness in setting up home showings always means youll be one of the first people to see the property, and in my case, helped me seal the deal on my new home. She has such a great eye for real estate and knows the housing market better than anyone, youll always be making a great investment with Lisa on your side! I look forward to working with her in the future!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was an outstanding agent right from the start. Prospective home choices were sent to us daily and she responded promptly with appointments to see properties. Her attention to detail, people skills, and broad experience were evident as we walked through each home. Lisa listened to our comments and "must haves", and was truly patient as we changed our minds numerous times. Lisa's swift action in getting us in to view a brand new listing lead to finding us the perfect unique home!

ZillowVERIFIEDI cant say enough positive things about Lisa, from her professional expertise as an agent to her personal efforts going above and beyond the typical duties all combined certainly set her above the rest of the agents out there. For me living outside of the country and having no access to the home during the sale, Lisa took on a massive role to not only sell my home in record time but also ensured that the properties past tenants vacated appropriately, the unit was taken care of and prepared for the handover of the new buyer and all the while ensuring we received the best market value for the home!!! I truly could not have done this from abroad without Lisa as my agent. In addition to the EXCELLENT level of service, her professional knowledge and obvious connections within the industry made the entire process seamless and stress free. If you want prompt, professional and friendly 5 star service... Lisa is the agent for you!!!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Lisa on the purchase of a new home and selling our old one was such a breeze. She was more like a friend then a real estate agent. She was extremely knowledgeable of the northwest suburbs and payed close attention to all of our needs. She was very easy to get ahold of at all hours of the day and we truly enjoyed working with her. If you are an agent in the area do not skip over Lisa! She sold our home quick and she knows the market! I look forward to staying in contact with Lisa and will certainly use her again in the future!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was an outstanding realtor. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable with Lisa. She was friendly, warm and caring, and extremely knowledgeable and valuable throughout the entire process. She provided many beneficial tips. Because I needed to have some work done on my house to get it ready for selling, she had many economical, competent, and efficient resources available. Selling a home and moving can be extremely stressful. Lisa made the process so easy to manage. When I did feel stressed, Lisa was there for me! She was always readily available to talk, she answered texts and calls so quickly, and she even reached out to me once I moved across the country. She genuinely cares and is an excellent realtor. I highly recommend her without any hesitation, and I already have.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe couldn't recommend Lisa more! We recently bought a house that had 30 offers on it, and Lisa played a huge role in why our offer was accepted over the others. She took the time to speak with the Seller's agent and let them know more about us. We were also first-time buyers, and Lisa was very helpful in walking us through all of the steps. We are very grateful to Lisa for all of her hard work on our behalf.

Review for Member: Lisa Fermanis
ZillowVERIFIEDOver the last 20 years I have worked with many real estate professionals and Lisa is by far the best. She was extremely responsive, always positive and solution oriented, and negotiated strongly on our behalf. Our escrow process had many twists and turns and took four months to close, but she never became frustrated and made sure the deal stayed alive...which was crucial because of the lack of inventory and timing of our out-of-state relocation. She went above and beyond to help us with corporate housing and getting the lay of the land. Due to her hard work on our behalf, not only did the seller stay in the game with us despite another full price offer on the table, we closed with many benefits in our favor. I highly recommend Lisa for any real estate transaction, regardless of scale or complexity.

She was always very responsive and patient with us (first-time home buyers!) and took the time to understand what we truly wanted in a home. She helped us understand every step in the process and was always just a quick text or phone call away. Her knowledge and passion for what she does was evident during the entire process and now that she's found us our perfect home, we will truly miss her! We highly recommend Lisa for any of your home selling or buying needs!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was an absolute joy to work with! As first-time homebuyers, we were overwhelmed by the ins and outs of the process. Lisa took the time to break down every single step in terms that we could understand, and provided industry knowledge to educate us for future home-buying experiences. Her communication was timely, and she kept us in the loop every step of the way. We couldn't have made it to the closing table without her assistance and support. If you're considering purchasing or embarking on your first home-buying experience, I highly recommend Lisa!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa went above and beyond helping me find a home while I was relocating across the country. She has incredible knowledge about the Chicagoland area, she was honest with me about pros and cons of different homes, she didn't pressure me into a decision and she's kind and fun to work with. Lisa's knowledge goes beyond just the home buying process. She was able to go through homes and tell me specific information about every area of the home that gave me the information I needed to make a great financial decision. I would highly recommend working with Lisa!

I would highly recommend Lisa and will be using her again in the future!

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa managed to sell my house before it even went on the market. This was due to her alertness and networking skills. The house also sold for more than what I had been told by other realtors it was worth. What impressed me about Lisa was that on the first day she explained every possible way to market the house, then explained clearly why she favored one over the others. This was based on her careful analysis of my house and its condition. Her recommendations on what should and should not be done saved me considerable money as well. I highly recommend Lisa for her expertise, professionalism, and knowledge.

ZillowVERIFIEDLisa was very professional. She was always available to answer our call. We had worked with her in past to look for a house and saw about 14 houses and decided to no go for any and put off looking for the house. After few years, when we called again on Sunday, she picked up the phone and answered out call and setup time to see house we like and even made offer we wanted to put. Once offer was rejected, Lisa did her research and advised us not over pay and walk away. That same night she found the listing that checked all the boxes that we were looking for in the house and forwarded the listing. We loved the house even more then original house we made the offer for. She helped in negotiating price and we closed on the house we loved. She does her research and listens to what we had to say. She is very delightful to work with.
