Testimonials

“Home selling can be such a stressful and anxious experience, but you were such a great support to us during what could have been a very difficult time. You guided us with knowledge and empathy throughout the entire process, taking such good care of us as we entered our next chapter. Thank you!”

- Donna & Bill C

"Lisa and Laurie were fantastic to work with! We live in California but needed to sell a condo in Newcastle, so we relied on them to take care of everything. They went way beyond the call of duty in getting the place ready to sell -- there was a giant piano that was almost impossible to get out of the condo, but Lisa and Laurie took care of it. They did a great job with staging and helping us set the sale price, and then were very active in holding open houses and setting up showings. Once we got an offer, they did a great job of explaining everything and helping us to decide whether we should accept. In the end, the sale closed on time, which was really important to us. Even though we were two states away, Lisa and Laurie made the whole process very easy for us. We would recommend working with them any time."

-Ethan R. and Allison E.
