Lisa was fantastic!! Always quick to respond to questions and even had contacts for people to do some light maintenance and cleaning. I think our house was on the market all of one day before she had a buyer. She handled everything and made it an easy process for me.

Lisa worked us on the sale of our townhouse and did an excellent job. She was able to find us a buyer who paid asking price for our rental property. She was very professional and interfaced perfectly with the tenant and worked with her schedule. We were not in the area and she went to closing on our behalf and went the extra mile to deposit the proceeds from the sale into our bank account. I would recommend Lisa to any family member or close friend as she will do everything she can to make the process easy

We purchased a home, sold our previous home, and sold a rental home with Lisa's assistance. She made it is very easy for us. She gave valuable suggestions, but accepted our decisions. Lisa is professional and friendly.

We've worked with Lisa on the purchase of two homes. She is very knowledgeable. Lisa is very quick and efficient and has excellent negotiating skills. She works very hard for her clients. We would highly recommend Lisa to anyone we know who is buying or selling a home.

Lisa has a good feel for value in all local State College neighborhoods including surrounding areas. Has a good eye for fixer upper and ideas for home improvement. She was very responsive at all hours including weekends and knows what it takes to put together a winning offer and had good ideas for us to seal the deal on our home. For example we removed radon mitigation from the terms to show the seller we really wanted the place and would deal with mitigation if we have to. Keep up the good work Lisa!

Lisa is the consummate professional--she handled our relocation superbly like a project manager! She has a background in the construction industry which is a huge plus as she understands what red flags to look for when touring homes. She went the extra mile and helped me find temporary housing and gave my fsmily a warm welcome when they followed a few weeks later. Highly recommend Lisa!!

Wonderful, she helped me find my new house on very short notice. She helps make the move from another state easy. I will use her services again if the need comes up.

I am recommending to use Lisa Rittenhouse as a your real estate specialist. Just saying "highly likely" is not sufficient - I DO recommend to contact Mrs. Rittenhouse if you considering real estate transactions.She provided courteous and professional services in listing our property for sale within time frame and price point that she advised.If I would be asked to highlight our experience with one phrase - I'd say:" our property was under the contract within 5 (five) days from listing"!Yes, I am honest - it took us five days to get the contract signed with OUR asking price.Our advice: do your homework and don't expect miracles happening. We started preparation for the sale almost 9 months in advance. During that first visit, she gave us points to prepare the property: properly staging the house, common issues to keep in mind with house inspection, availability of maintenance records, list of improvements, quality of pictures to be posted, etc. She assessed the best time for the listing in early spring.At her advice we hired a home assessment through a local appraiser to gauge the value of property in our area and avoid guessing. It really helped to eliminate price anxiety and manage our expectations. We found that our property was recently reassigned into a flood plane. FEMA is really, you know, helpful and considerate (sarcasm). So our expense for home evaluation was totally worth it. Don't stifle yourself about this - a correct property evaluation is really powerful information for a homeowner. Lisa provided us with all necessary documentation for closing process, qualified advice during the pending time, and regularly followed up with us with updates. Moreover, she assisted us in addressing issues that did come from the buyer's side. Their Bank was demanding and adamant about a lot of details, where Lisa negotiated for us to divide fairly additional expenses to satisfy Bank's nitpicking. This is the real value of a real estate professional - ability to work with you from the beginning to the very end of the process and we are truly thankful and deeply appreciate her efforts. Again, thank you Lisa!
