" We had a terrific sales experience with Lisa and Chris. We live out of town and they handled every aspect of the sale, and always were attentive to our concerns. Not only that, but they were able to negotiate a final price well above our asking! We would recommend them highly!ā€ - Larry and Jody R ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…

"ā€œ I’ve worked with Lisa and Chris since 2006 and have bought and sold both residential and multi-family properties with them.  They are a great team, are organized, professional, hard working and bring genuine value to each transaction. If there was an inspection to be done, they were there.  If I wanted to see a property anywhere in town, they would arrange it right away.  If I needed an apartment rented, they would get it rented.  And did I mention that they’re both really nice people?  I highly recommend them.  They are an all around, full service, class act. ā€ -Macaulay B., Real Estate Investor ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…

"ā€œLisa and Chris took the time to understand what I was looking for and needed, and then used their knowledge of the market to help me find something that was even more than I expected. Their hard work didn't stop there, though. They were with me through the entire process, looking out for my interests, and guiding me through the ins and outs of the sale process. I could not have had two better agents in my corner.ā€ -Author Brett B. ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…

"ā€œ After a few unsatisfying experiences where I had chosen the wrong agents I was lucky enough to meet Lisa Brende at a open house. Her professionalism prompted me to reach out to her to relist my condo unit. She and Chris Corkum knew the market, worked tersely with regular open houses and after 2 years of being on the market with other agents they were able to sell the unit in less than 6 months. They also helped me as I frantically looked for my new home. I have recommended Lisa and Chris to others and will continue to do so. When I am ready to move again, I will be calling them.ā€ -Nick P ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…

"ā€œ This was my first home purchase. Lisa came so highly recommended (by several friends) that I felt completely relaxed about the process. I knew I could trust her judgement, suggestions, and guidance in the details. I really got a great deal on my home and have not regretted my purchase for a moment!ā€ -Terry C. ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…

"ā€œ Big shout out to Lisa Brende and Chris Corkum for representing me in the sale of my Silver Lake duplex.  They did everything right; priced the property correctly, took amazing photos and wrote a masterful description. They met with the long term tenants and created reasonable showing parameters that met with their schedules to encourage cooperation and trust. They physically attended every showing, and interacted beautifully with the buyers and their agent to create a positive dynamic for all. Needless to say I highly recommend Lisa and Chris for great representation- from the start of the process with marketing, the negotiations, the inspections, and a very smooth closing and follow-up. ā€ -Shyrl L. ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…

"ā€œAs our realtors, Chris and Lisa made a stressful task feel enjoyable and worry-free. They supported us through the ups and downs of purchasing a home in an extremely competitive market.  Always responsive and honest, they provided great advice without pushing us into undesired territory. Not only are they great people, but they are also fierce advocate for their clients. We recommend Chris and Lisa to anyone looking for a real estate agent with integrity and outstanding work ethic. ā€ -Amy H. and Evan M. ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
