"Lisa is a great realtor and has been very helpful to us. She is professional, knowledgeable and also very friendly and thoughtful. She has a clear mind and listed all the pros and cons for every we looked at or she recommended, she also has a lot of pricing experience and negotiation skills. Lisa successfully helped us avoid a bad deal(the reason why now we know it was a bad deal is that the offer price my wife and I was thinking at that time is close to the current listing price after it dropped again and again and nobody is offering) with deep analysis and helped us find our dream . Both my wife and I love working with Lisa! " - Lin J.

"Lisa Finks is undoubtedly the best overall real estate agent I have ever worked with. She takes to heart my needs and budget and assists even if the resulting sale will not benefit her directly. She is very knowledgeable about many kinds of sales, including a foreclosure I am currently involved in. Lisa has access to many tools which assist a buyer or seller in comparison shopping as well as those renovations which do and do NOT pay back when selling. Lisa is a joy to work with, a great listener, and I would recommend her highly to anyone in the to buy or sell in Wilmette or beyond. " - Beth L.

Hiring Lisa will be the best decision you can make when looking to buy or sell your property. " - E. M.
