Lisa Drapkin and her team are simply amazing! The thought of selling my somewhat outdated condominium was intimidating. With decades of experience, Lisa knew exactly which updates were important and which ones were unnecessary in the current market. Her abundant resources (carpenters, builders, roofers, plumbers, stagers, lawyers etc.) were dependable and extremely efficient. She and her team closely guided me through each step of the selling process. They were attentive and readily available to answer questions. I was always well informed. Lisa created a schedule for each step of selling process and the schedule was followed to a tee. Lisa is organized, systematic, efficient and has a special sense of humor saved up for those aEURoedifficultaEUR? moments. Whether youre new to the process or a seasoned veteran, Lisa is a master broker!

Okay - what can we say about Lisa. . . . We cant say enough wonderful things about Lisa and her team - they were exactly what was initially promised and we would recommend them to anyone selling their treasured home. Lisa is an amazing manager, salesperson and therapist - all wrapped up in one powerhouse of a woman. She is the consummate professional who intimately knows the markets she is selling in. She managed everything that needed to happen and when we were not able to resolve a concern - she stepped in and figured it all out. We had some ambivalence about leaving our home of 30+ years throughout this process and Lisa hung in there with us. She worked with us to find the right sale price, she recommended a fabulous real estate attorney, she helped us organize all the things that have to happen to sell a house, she helped us choose the right offer in the end, and she was always pleasant and always available. Her feathers were never ruffled when we disagreed on something but in the end she was usually right. (But dont tell her!) She guided us through a challenging process and kept most of the stress off of our plates which were already full with packing and moving. Lisas reputation precedes her - she deserves the props that she has earned over the years of her work as a realtor. She was just what we had hoped for and happily in the end she got us a really good price on our beloved home too.

Lisa Drapkin and her team were so effective, I had very little to do (or to worry about) to achieve the incredibly successful outcome. I say aEUR~team because that is what she brings. My home was not aEUR~show-room ready by any stretch of the imagination. But that didnt matter because they have experienced staff and proven, trustworthy service providers who transformed my space such that it showed as well as the newer properties. I was around for some of the preparations to sell, but at the time it was about to go on the market, I moved overseas. Not a problem. We were in constant communication through email, WhatsApp, and Zoom. And when I saw the listing, I was amazed by the physical transformation and the professional look of the brochure. Lisa or members of her team were on-site to ensure the condo was ready to show whether it was overseeing contractors, the housecleaning, the stagers, or managing the open houses. Selling my property was a pretty big deal. I wanted to work with someone I could trust, someone with a proven track record, someone who would keep me informed, as involved or not involved as I wanted to be, and, ultimately, to deliver a great outcome. I put my trust in Lisa Drapkin and her team. I'm very glad I did.

Lisa, Jenn and the entire team were amazing to work with on selling my home! They explained everything so I knew what was coming (but was never overwhelmed). They had great advice throughout the entire process and were extremely helpful getting the house ready for sale. They not only found painters, stagers and electricians to prep the house, but ran the whole show and made sure everything was done well. The process from offers to closing went smoothly, and we couldnt be happier with the end result. Great communicators, very organized and were so nice to work with. I cant imagine a better end to end selling experience than I got with Lisa, Jenn and the team.
