"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." - Kimberly

"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." - Kevin

"I sold my home through Alissa. She knows the market and who and where the buyers are. She guided me to the right selling price and was always frank and realistic about what it would take to get my home sold in a difficult market for higher-end homes."
