ZillowVERIFIEDWhits strong knowledge of the Lake Placid real estate market was unmatched by other realtors we worked with in the past. Whit was on top of all aspects of our sale. We would not hesitate to use Whit again for any of our future real estate needs. We would highly recommend Whit if youre looking for a real estate agent in The Adirondack region.

ZillowVERIFIED Whit made the process of buying and selling a pleasure. He represented us through two purchases and one sale. Whit was available to answer all of my questions, gave great recommendations and never hesitated to go the extra mile to help close the deal. I would have no hesitation in recommending Whit to anyone looking for a really wonderful person to work with when buying or selling their home.

ZillowVERIFIED Whit is amazing and I couldnt ask for a better realtor to work with. I contacted him on a Saturday night and he was able to get us into the property (that wasnt his listing) the very next morning. As a first time home buyer, I had A LOT of questions. He went above and beyond to answer them, was always very responsive anytime I reached out, and was always on top of communicating with the sellers realtor. He even went to the property on my behalf for the inspection since I couldnt make it. From our initial call, all the way to closing, I could rely on him and trust him. Dont hesitate to work with him! Ill definitely be using him again if we buy another property in the area. Thanks for your hard work Whit!

ZillowVERIFIED Whit is a meticulous, thoughtful, kind, responsive and easy to work with realtor. I had the first pleasure of meeting him as the sellers agent (I was the buyer) and then I used him for a second transaction as my buyers agent. Both times he was extremely responsive (texting back at all hours), very thorough (helped arrange early access, packages, etc.) and went above and beyond with each and every detail. Ill be honest, I'm not a fan of realtors mostly because I feel that they offer zero value added and subsume a significant commission. Whit is a rare exception. He adds tremendous value, local knowledge, honesty and clear and prompt communication to meet your every need. Also, little known fact, he is a professional photographer and takes outstanding photos of the property. His listing photos are better than any photos Ive seen done by hired photographers, just another perk to using Whit! I would not and will not hesitate to use Whit again and again. I highly recommend having him on your team for your next real estate transaction!

ZillowVERIFIED Whit has now helped me with the purchase of two properties in the Lake Placid area. He was a genuine pleasure to work with on both! He helped advise on the purchase prices and was always immediately responsive and helpful whenever I had questions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area!

ZillowVERIFIED Our first experience with a real estate purchase! We have been looking at houses in the area for years and have not been able to find what we are looking for. We decided purchasing land and building was going to be the route we take. Our experience with Whit was great! Whit was extremely understanding and knowledgeable of the area and the land we were looking at buying. We had so many questions (this was a big decision) that built on top of the answers we received and then more questions that Whit answered in a timely manner. Whit is laid back and a native to the area, his knowledge of real estate and land acquisitions is highly regarded in our eyes.Thanks Whit!

ZillowVERIFIED In the course of my recent home purchase Whit easily earned the highest ratings in the above categories, but it was his integrity, intuitiveness and patience that earns my sincere recommendation of Whit Bissell to anyone buying or selling in the north country.

ZillowVERIFIED Great local knowledge, always available, responsive, patient and with solution at hand if/when issue arises. If not for his help I don't think it would be possible to close this deal under extra ordinary circumstances (COVID-19 epidemic). His help was instrumental in navigating those uncharted territories.One of the best real estate agents that I worked with. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIED Whit was simply fabulous to work with. He tuned in well to what we were looking for, and helped talk through with us the pros and cons of each house we looked at. He was able to answer any questions we had, taking time to ask around for the answers as needed. He also efficiently and patiently guided us every step of the way through the offer, inspection and closing process. We feel very fortunate to have had Whit as our ally, and recommend him highly.

Review for Member: Whit Bissell
ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I are proud owners of a beautiful log cabin in Wilmington, New York, thanks to the amazing Whit Bissell. On a whim, we decided to house hunt while vacationing in Lake Placid. Knowing little about some of the areas, we knew that it might take several attempts to find someone who we felt comfortable working with through the home-buying process. We were beyond impressed, just minutes after meeting Whit. He was such a wealth of knowledge and taught us many things about the area. Whit understood our sense of urgency, but also understood that we were new home buyers to the Wilmington area, and did everything he could to support us. When something came up that he was unsure about, he would seek an answer and instantly get back to us. Once we found our "dream home," Whit helped us move QUICKLY with the process. Since there were other offers on the table, he helped us put together an offer that we all felt was reasonable. He ensured that we had everything in place,and communicated effectively, and precisely to our needs. He would check for clarity and understanding in order to ensure that we were nothing but satisfied, every step of the way. He coached us along with negotiations, and when we knew we were under contract, Whit continued to keep us on track so that we met all timelines. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in the housing market. His expertise makes him stand amongst the best, and I am certain you will be satisfied with his talent.

ZillowVERIFIED We recently purchased a townhouse in Lake Placid and Whit was our realtor. I can't say enough positive things about the job that he did. From the very start, Whit listened to what we wanted and delivered every step of the way. He was incredibly responsive (even responding to me after 11pm on multiple occasions) throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to give Whit a recommendation in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED Whit was very knowledgeable about the area and the process of land sale. This was especially helpful, as the property I was selling was outside of my home state. He answered questions quickly and professionally, and was willing to help in any way needed. He was readily accessible and did any research I may have needed done. It was truly a pleasure to work with Whit. I would highly recommend Whit Bissell.

ZillowVERIFIED We sold our 6 bedroom three bathroom ski chalet with Whit's outstanding support. We were selling into a distressed market but Whit was always positive and helpful with finding the price point and buyer market we needed to target in order to sell the house. He was also very quickly responsive whenever we had any questions and helped us find a great lawyer to close the sale.I highly recommend Whit to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Lake Placid and vicinity.Paul Gottwald

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I have been looking for land in the Lake Placid area for years. Whit came highly recommended after a previous realtor left the agency. We couldnt be happier with the service that Whit provided. He is professional, knows the area, will go out of his way to be accommodating and truly enjoys what he does. A very genuine person. Would highly recommend.

ZillowVERIFIED Whit handled the sale of our farm with calm, grace, creativity and generosity. The day the buyers were set to start moving in, Whit was there before breakfast checking up and making sure everything was ok. He found a burst pipe and leapt into action. He helped so much that day, more like a friend than a realtor. He even purchased and installed an industrial-sized portable heating unit to bring the house back up to above freezing so the pipe could be fixed. Thanks so much, Whit.

Thomas Realty - we would highly recommend working with Whit to anyone in the market for property in the ADK's.

ZillowVERIFIED Whit is a sincere, caring person to deal with. The thing I liked best about him is that he was not pushy. He listened to my concerns and if he didn't know the answer to a question, he found the answer immediately. He grew up in Lake Placid and knows the area well.Even after the sale and closing, he is accommodating in many ways. Making his clients happy is important to him, not just the sale. It feels great to be able to go back to him even after I've moved in. He is dependable, kind and genuine.

ZillowVERIFIED Whit Bissell was recommended to us by our personal realtor Valerie Murphy. When we were ready to purchase our realtor recommended we use a realtor who was an expert in the real estate market in the Lake Placid, New York area. Whit was a pleasure to work with. Whit assisted us in the process of purchasing our dream property in Lake Placid, New York. Excellent communicator, always professional and knowledgeable. He is truly well informed, experienced, and educated regarding the real estate market in Lake Placid. Living in Hawaii, Whit was able to facilitate our purchase always going the extra mile to take pictures or videos to give us a better view of the properties we were interested in. Whit was also able to assist us in providing recommendations for attorneys, builders, and just sharing his general knowledge of the village in Lake Placid and the surrounding area. We highly recommend him.
