Lori and Alissa are outstanding! They know their market and are extremely honest, hardworking and responsive. They did a full market study on our home a few years ago and we all came to the conclusion it wasnt the right time to sell. Fast forward a few years and they knew the time was right. Our home sold immediately and they found us our new home all within a few weeks. Through each process, they were always available to answer questions at any time. In addition, they have a wealth of resources in the area as they have both lived in Lake Forest their entire lives. Their knowledge of the market is second to none. They are a fantastic team!

We found our dream home thanks to Alissa. As first-time homebuyers, and on a very tight closing deadline, Alissa was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us as we constantly asked her questions. She was proactive about checking in, advised us through every step of the process, had fantastic local recommendations, and was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and home buying process. We trusted Alissa had OUR best intentions at heart, and it was clear she was passionate about helping us find a home that was right for us. We can't thank Alissa enough for helping us buy oour first home - and for bringing us lunch during move in! If you are even thinking about moving to the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff area, I highly recommend you give Alissa a call.

When moving to the Chicago suburbs, we had to find a place without even seeing it. We needed a realtor who could grasp what we wanted without ever meeting us and one that would recommend the best options based on our criteria. Alissa did just that. She went above and beyond searching for places and showing us all of our options. She did virtual tours and gave her input on what she thought we would love. Alissa also thought of every little detail when writing up the contract and made sure that we were getting a fair deal. We mostly looked at new builds, so she made sure that every detail was fine tuned and finished before we committed to buying the home. With Alissa's help, we were able to find the perfect home for us and we really enjoyed working with her in the process. Beyond that, we could not be there at move-in and she went out of her way to help us when the movers arrived. She also met several trades people at the home when we were getting things on order. Alissa made a stressful time a LOT easier for us and we are very thankful to have worked with her. We definitely plan to work with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone we know.

Due to the craziness of 2020, my wife and i jumped head first into buying our first home. We could not have had a better agent guide us through the home buying process. On our first day of looking at houses, i knew we had a person who was in touch with what my spouse and i were thinking, what we liked, what we disliked, & was able to point out things that we would generally miss.When it came to the negotiation - which was brief because of her - she explained each way we could approach giving an offer & explained the pros and cons of each. Knowing the market, she explained what our best course of action was & because of that, i am writing this in my new kitchen!Alissa is your best field guide to home buying. Use her!

Alissa was supportive throughout our journey together. Viewing homes together for two years, she always had excellent listening skills and provided expert feedback to help us find our dream home. Alissa knew everything about our local area - from schools and churches to service people and legal/financial resources. Alissa made the process easy and enjoyable. She is there to listen during the stressful moments and to celebrate when it all comes together in the end. She is available long after the deal is done for any questions and referrals. We highly recommend Alissa and her team - they are top notch and above all, trustworthy in the business.

We found Alissa because she was selling the home we wanted to purchase. She impressed us with her real estate knowledge and business manner that we asked her to be our agent in the sale of our home. She kept us up to date with the market and homes around us which in turn helped us to sell our home in an extremely competitive market. She was wonderful to work with and always extremely responsive.

Alissa McNicholas is the BEST realtor in the business. We are a transient family, so this is not our first purchase. Alissa went out of her way to find us our dream home. She is sweet, fun, professional and extremely knowledgeable with the area and business. Alissa went above and beyond the call of duty to answer questions and find the resources we were looking for to settle in the area.

What a great, fluid experience we had working with Alissa! She came as a referral from a good friend during our relocation to the area. We put 100% trust in her to listen and find exactly what we were looking for which resulted in her hitting it out of the park. I've thought many times over the course of the last few months being in our new home how grateful we are to have found her and her expertise in the market. She is a great listener, extremely responsive, knowledgeable and aggressive for her client. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat.

Alissa and Lori are an amazing team. We first called Alissa on recommendation from friends who had worked with her, and on just 3-days' notice she had made appointments for us - and took us- to tour 15 homes. Throughout the process she was honest with us, thoughtful, and truly wanted to find the house that was right for us and our family. She asked many questions in order to truly hone in on what type of house we were looking for. She was responsive via text, phone, and email, and followed up with us regularly. We appreciated the time Alissa and Lori spent meeting us when we flew in to look at new listings and eventually, when we found our house, the time they spent at inspections. Having both grown up in Lake Forest, they have a deep knowledge of the town, the schools, the neighborhoods, and much more! The negotiation process and sale process were smooth and we felt like we were in very good hands.We can't recommend Alissa and Lori enough. They made an overwhelming move as stress-free as possible, and the house we found is perfect for our family. We are so grateful to them!
