"I was so concerned about working with a realtor, but Lisa made it fun and easy and she is beyond lovely to work with. If you live near Montclair or in Essex County, I couldn't recommend anyone more!" – Jessica B.

Lisa was spectacular!

As a first-time homebuyer, I was concerned that the process would be difficult to navigate. But fortunately, I found Lisa and she made it feel easy. She listened to what I wanted and knew exactly what to look for. I always felt that she was personally involved and truly cared about finding the perfect home for me. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to find a home in under one month.

During the closing process, she laid everything out clearly for me. She told me exactly what needed to get done, provided me with recommendations of quality professionals, gave me helpful reminders and advice, and was always reachable whenever I needed her. Thanks to the efforts of her and the people she recommended to me, we were able to close smoothly and quickly in 30 days.

The extent to which Lisa went above and beyond cannot be overstated. A true professional, she was trustworthy and dependable. She was an invaluable member of my team. I could not have asked for anything more in a realtor.

“When we set out to relocate from Michigan to New Jersey in 2022 summer, Lisa Schmey was recommended to us. Lisa was quick, courteous and very helpful. Due to the high demand and housing market crisis this year, we initially encountered a few rejections, but Lisa went above and beyond for us. She knew our taste, needs, and the kind of dream house we wanted, and she never stopped searching and negotiating with house owners and agents on our behalf until she was able to get our contract signed and sealed. She always took or returned calls and answered every question that we had. We cannot say enough great things about Lisa as she's certainly the BEST!” - Praise and Doyin K.
