Lisa Rudisel

★★★★★
"I met Lisa when I first moved to Chicago. She helped my roommate and I get our first condo rental in Lincoln Park--it was perfect and so much better than anything we had tried to find on our own. Fast forward a couple of years and my husband and I began our search for our first condo. To say that we are particular is an understatement. As embarrassing as it is to say, it took us two years to find the perfect place for us--which is a huge testament to Lisa's patience and willingness to work with her clients. Throughout that time, she never became frustrated or annoyed, and when we finally found the place, Lisa helped us navigate the buying process. She has strong relationships with consummate professionals in the industry, and we felt that she was there for us every step of the way. In addition to Lisa's knowledge of the real estate market and her go-to team of professionals, Lisa's demeanor made the process less stressful. She was always available and would calm any fears that we had. She talked through scenarios and situations thoroughly, and we never felt like Lisa didn't have time for us. I definitely recommend Lisa to friends who are looking to buy or sell real estate!" - Jackie & Max

★★★★★
"I had the pleasure of working with Lisa in both a direct sale and multiple referrals. She is a very professional, diligent and extremely hard working individual. She has a great sense for real estate and a logical approach to working through complicated issues. No matter the circumstance or situation, Lisa has always approached everything with a positive, rational attitude and is truly an asset to any real estate transaction." - Sean & Jen

★★★★★
"We sold in 2 weeks for full ask and it’s all because of Lisa! Her credentials are impeccable and when you meet her in person you instantly see why. Lisa is personable, energetic, and she has a true passion for her work. During our preliminary interview Lisa had already worked out a game plan. By the time she finished walking through our home we hired her on the spot. Lisa immediately got to work spreading the news to her vast contacts throughout Chicagoland. In two days we went to market and had people lining up to see our home.We had a million questions throughout the process. Lisa promptly responded to every text, email, and phone call. Hire Lisa for all your realtor needs, you will not be disappointed." - Kate & Michael ★★★★★
"Lisa was fabulous from start to finish. We connected with her through a listing, and as first-time homebuyers on a tight timeline, we couldn't have asked for a better guide. She sat down with us early on to walk through exactly what the process would look like, which set the tone for everything that followed. We always knew what to expect and never felt out of our depth. What really set Lisa apart was how well she read us as a couple. She never overwhelmed us with information or pushed her opinions during showings - she let us take in each space, told us what we needed to know, and trusted us to come to her with questions, which we always did. That balance of guidance and space made all the difference, and it takes real skill to know when to lead and when to step back. Her expertise was obvious in everything she did. She anticipated issues before they became problems, moved fast when we needed to, and never once made us feel rushed or pressured despite our timeline. Through every up and down of house hunting, we never doubted her for a second. We knew she had our back and was steering us right. She's the rare combination of deeply knowledgeable and genuinely warm. Every time we met another realtor along the way, we counted ourselves lucky to have her in our corner. We landed our dream place in Chicago, and we owe so much of that to her. I'd recommend her to anyone buying a home in this city, without hesitation. We'll absolutely use her again ourselves down the line. Thank you Lisa, you’re the best!!" - Gina D

"Working with Lisa Rudisel was an outstanding experience. After living in my townhouse for over 43 years, I finally decided to downsize. It felt like a daunting task, but Lisa made the entire process completely seamless. She guided me every step of the way, and thanks to her expert advice, my townhouse sold in just three days — with ten offers! Lisa also found me the perfect downsized home in a charming neighborhood. She arranged for me to view the property immediately after it went on the market, which allowed me to submit a strong offer quickly and secure the deal. In addition, Lisa connected me with excellent professionals to assist with my mortgage and reliable tradespeople who helped prepare both my former home and my new home to be in top condition. She is incredibly responsive and always easy to reach by phone. Her knowledge of the market and strategic pricing ensured my townhouse sold quickly and for top dollar. I feel very fortunate to have worked with Lisa and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. She is attentive, accessible, and truly dedicated to meeting her clients’ needs." - Buyer & Seller

★★★★★
"We had a fabulous experience working with Lisa to sell our Chicago condo. From our first contact to closing, she inspired confidence and walked us through the process step by step. She had a clear vision of how to improve our property to increase its value and move it quickly, and organized all of the work to make these improvements happen. She is efficient and effective, communicates clearly, and is loved by everyone in the industry that we met. We’re grateful to have had her as a relator shepherding us through the process of selling property and highly recommend her to others who are looking to do the same!" - Ann S

★★★★★
"Lisa was amazing to work with. She was responsive and patient while we moved from the city to the suburbs. She worked so hard for us to find the home of our dreams. She was there to answer questions day/night and kept us calm in a stressful situation. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a great experience." - Buyer & Seller

★★★★★
"Lisa was stellar to work with. We worked with her to sell my grandparents’ house and she thought of and took care of every detail from start to finish. She took charge right away and We always felt confident that she had a plan and handled all of the needed fixes with minimal involvement from us. She is super responsive and has great and positive energy. She was always thinking strategically about marketing, staging, timing, and pricing. She takes the lead and implements proactively. With her help, we were able to sell the house extremely quickly with multiple offers above asking. I highly recommend working with Lisa!" - W Shirat

★★★★★
"I have worked with Lisa on both buying and selling our home for 3 times now, Lisa has been great to work with, always knowledgeable and responsive, both of our properties were priced and staged properly and sold in the first week. I look forward to working with her in the future." - Dennis P

★★★★★
"We first worked with Lisa 13 years ago when we first moved to Chicago. She did a great job introducing us to different neighborhoods and working with us as we figured out our needs. Most recently we sold our Bucktown home and Lisa was our broker. As always Lisa was a joy to work with but more importantly she was super effective. Her experience, knowledge of the neighborhood ability to read the market led us to getting 19 offers after ONE open house with all but one offer being above asking. Yeah, we highly recommend Lisa!" - J Neumann

★★★★★
"Lisa was amazing to work with! I highly recommend her. Backstory: My family recently moved to Chicago, and after a year in River North, we were ready for the suburbs. We were introduced to Lisa through a friend. Lisa helped educate us on all the northern communities and within six months we closed on the perfect home. Given the market conditions, we knew we would have to move quickly on a home we liked. Lisa was always available for a showing, morning or night. And she answered all our questions expertly with years of industry experience. When we found the right house, Lisa moved swiftly and executed negotiating strategies that put our offer in front of three competing bids." - A Baston

★★★★★
"Help us buy and sell a home in portage park, great job with helping on current market suggestions and getting the house sold quickly at our target price." - Seller

★★★★★
"I have been working with Lisa as my realtor for over 6 years. She helped me with both apartment searches in the city and when we finally decided to make our move to the suburbs. We had no doubt that we wanted to work with Lisa when looking for a forever home because of her welcoming personality, attention to detail, and knowing that she had our best interests in mind. In each house we toured, Lisa showed her deep knowledge of real estate and called out the things to pay attention to ensure that if we decided to place an offer, we were offing a fair and realistic price. She was always available to answer questions during the house search process, and even after the closing when we needed contractor recommendations. I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a home!" - Clarie B

★★★★★
"When we moved out of Chicago and sold our condo, we couldn't be happier with the exceptional service we received from Lisa in selling our first place. From our initial meeting, Lisa demonstrated a deep understanding of the market and a clear strategy to help us achieve our sale goals and timeline. Her advice on pricing proved spot-on—we sold our home quickly and for over the asking price. Lisa was incredibly proactive throughout the entire process, always keeping us informed and making sure everything ran smoothly. Lisa was even helpful in helping us make contacts to realtors in the state we moved to. Thank you, Lisa!" - John M

★★★★★
"Lisa was absolutely amazing in helping us relocate from Texas to Illinois to be near our daughter and her family. We contacted Lisa and began the process of looking for a new home in the area while we were still working to get our home in Texas on the market. She took time to show us several homes each time we were able to visit the Chicago area. She took time to take our daughter to look at several homes for us when there was a listing that fit our needs and we weren't able to make it up. Closings are done differently in Illinois, and she was able to walk us through the process long distance. We ended up buying a home, sight unseen, that she and my daughter took the time to see. She knew what we were looking for at that point and was able to give us positive feedback on the home. I would highly recommend Lisa and will work with her again if the need arises." - Carol T

★★★★★
"Lisa exceeded our expectations in helping us purchase our townhouse. During our extensive search, spanning several months and numerous condo and townhouse viewings, her expertise in construction, building history, and pricing proved invaluable. She tirelessly advocated for us, providing comprehensive guidance that empowered us to make an informed decision. We're deeply grateful for her dedication and would wholeheartedly recommend her services for any future real estate needs. Lisa has earned our trust and loyalty, and we look forward to working with her again. " - S Sossa

★★★★★
"Lisa has been my realtor for almost 7 years and I don't regret a moment of it. I've had the pleasure of working with her on two condo purchases and one condo sale in Chicago. All advice that she's provided has worked in my favor and she has the uncanny ability for predicting market trends and making small internal improvements that will make your home more marketable. I will continue using her as long as possible, and I even have a realtor in my family. That's how good she is!" - S Patel

★★★★★
"Lisa has been my trusted realtor for 10 years. I have recommended her to friends with complete confidence. Lisa’s experience sets her apart. She knows (realistic) pricing and tiny details so well. Lisa is fluid in any area- city, suburbs, house, condo, rentals, etc. I recently asked her to help advise my mother in another state. She gave us brilliant suggestions that my mom’s realtor never thought of. Lisa collaborates with her clients and creates a solid plan of action. She’s always available to answer questions and educates her clients along the way. There are a million realtors out there, but when you work with Lisa, you’re working with an expert." - Piper G

★★★★★
"Plain and simple, Lisa was amazing to work with. You know instantly after meeting her that she is passionate about her job. She took the time to meet with my fiancé and I before we even looked to get to know us and our styles, interests. You can tell she really cares about her clients. She doesn't want to just sell a home, more importantly she wants the property to be a perfect match for her clients and their happiness is what matters to her. She was so patient with us and answered all our questions, day or night. Even after we bought our condo, she followed up and we have stayed in contact. Lisa has become a friend to us and highly recommend her for anyone looking!" - Melanie K

★★★★★
"Being a first-time home buyer is a nerve-racking experience especially in the city of Chicago. My fiance and I were so lucky to have found Lisa who delivered white-glove service, provided a plethora of wisdom, and at the day end of the day got us the best deal on our home. She was so consultative in helping us pick out which homes were worth seeing, she was efficient in her search by taking us to 30+ listings in a short amount of time (and in a highly contested market), and she called out things that we didn't even see in homes that would implicate higher costs / maintenance. Lisa also moonlights as an interior designer having an endless amount of ideas to modernize a space and having a Rolodex of contacts to reach out to for any home improvement job you can think of (we've used several of her recommended vendors). As long as we live in the city, Lisa will be our realtor. If you're new to the home-buying process or haven't done it in a while, START WITH LISA!" - Nikoloa B

★★★★★
"Lisa was such a pleasure to work with for purchasing our first home! Lisa knows the Chicagoland area like the back of her hand. We were able to purchase our number one choice home within the price point we were hoping for thanks to her expertise. She was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Thanks, Lisa." - Julie F

★★★★★
"Wow. That’s the first word that comes to mind. Lisa was absolutely amazing. We are in the middle of moving from Florida to north Chicago for a military move and I (the wife) have never lived outside of Florida. So this is a big change and Lisa made me feel so at ease and excited about the move. We changed our mind a lot about where we wanted to be / the type of place we wanted to be in and she was SO patient!!! She helped us find the perfect place for us and our 2 pups and she’s given us SO many amazing recommendations for not just us but also our dogs!! I couldn’t imagine working with anyone other than Lisa! Thank you for everything." - Taylor M

★★★★★
"After working with Lisa in 2011 to buy my first home, there wasn't a doubt in my mind who I would be contacting to sell my home in 2021. Lisa is so easy to work with and makes what is a somewhat stressful process much less worrisome. Lisa is genuinely passionate and greatly knowledgeable about Real Estate and all things surrounding the process of buying and selling property. She also has great style and understanding of staging, and what needs to be done to prep a home for sale and appeal to the masses. I also greatly appreciate Lisa's ability to be honest and direct around challenges when needing to make important decisions during the process. While I am now out of the Greater Chicagoland area, Lisa continues to check in every so often, and has helped connect me with qualified and competent agents she knows out west. If/when I make it back to Chicago, I'll again have no doubt who I'll be reaching out to for my next home! Thank you, Lisa." - Justin M

★★★★★
"Lisa made the process of buying our first home so smooth! She was helpful in showing us the possibilities of each place we looked at, patient when we wanted to see something a second (and third) time, and persistent through the negotiation process to get us to our target price (below asking! In 2021!) in a home that we love. She is extremely knowledgeable of the industry and was able to explain every step of the process to us. Having worked with Lisa through both renting and buying situations, we truly feel like she has our best interests at heart, and would recommend her to all looking to find a home in this trickiest of markets!" - Kathryn T

★★★★★
"Lisa is simply the greatest!! I recently closed on the purchase of my first home in Chicago. I came into the process with minimal experience and Lisa was so helpful and thoughtful throughout. She took into account all of my little needs and we ended up finding the perfect place for my dog and me. I will be using Lisa for every transaction I have in the future, and I cannot recommend a realtor any more than I can recommend Lisa. Buying/selling a place is a major life decision and you can put your faith in Lisa 100000%!" - Joe Z

★★★★★
"Since the suburban market was so hot this summer, we decided to try and list our house ourselves. Initial feedback was, "great location, curb appeal, amazing space, all the right upgrades..." and after a mountain of showings in the first 2 weeks, no offers. We decided it was time for a professional. Lisa came into what we thought was a decluttered, well priced home that "showed well" in a hot market and took it to a completely different level. New pictures, new listing, new staging and in 5 days were under contract. Her energy and commitment persisted through the entire process, from initial offer through final close, always proactive and anticipating things we didn't even know existed let alone needed. Lisa navigated us through one of the most stressful times of our life and we cannot recommend her highly enough." - Katie R

★★★★★
"Lisa has been exactly what we needed when we found our current home! Her professionalism got us the deal we wanted and her friendly, personable nature makes her a joy to work with! She never made us feel any extra pressure and did a great job working within our budget and expectations. She then sold another property we owned within a week of listing and guided us expertly through the process. We always have a great experience with Lisa and are thrilled to have her in our corner!" - Seller

★★★★★
"My wife and I have worked with Lisa for several years, purchasing two houses and selling one. Lisa is phenomenal and has been a realtor in the city of Chicago for a LONG time. All of that experience pays off and it shows: Lisa knows what to watch out for, where to look, and what to offer at or list for. My favorite story about Lisa has to do with my level of anxiety and how high it was during our last purchase. We had just finalized the purchase of our dream home, which Lisa found of course, and needless to say we wanted to sell our existing home quickly. She was very empathetic and really made me feel at ease. We were also about to sell our house in the middle of winter and I thought it was going to take forever, or maybe we would have to wait until summer. Nope. We sold our house last March, 2021 in Chicago snowmageddon. We actually had an open house the Sunday after like two feet of snow fell. Not only did Lisa hustle and get over 10 people to come out to our open house, we thought know one would show, but we sold our house I think 8 days later, and at our agreed amount. We were ecstatic. It is also worth noting we had been looking for 2 years, I think we put her through the same exercise when we purchased our first home and she could not have been more patient. We would be happy to be a reference if you would like to speak to us." - Bryan & Andrew L

★★★★★
"I was a first time home-searcher when a friend referred me to Lisa. She could not have been a better match: knowledgeable, honest, knew the process inside/out, and energized to help me find a home! She listened to what I was looking for and helped me find things that met both my expressed and unexpressed preferences. She had amazing contacts, I used her Real Estate Lawyer/Financing/Inspection recommendations, and had a terrific time with all of them. She walked me through each step and got me what I needed. With her negotiations I got a dream spot for waaay less than I thought I would need to spend." - Raymond B

★★★★★
"Lisa was AWESOME to work with. I got connected to her right after I moved to the city. Being new to Chicago, it took some time for me to figure out whether I wanted to rent or buy, where I wanted to live, and what my priorities/non-negotiables were; Lisa was with me every step of the way. In a tough market with low inventory, she was very patient. It was clear that she always had my best interests at heart and cared about me finding the right place. When I found the one, she sealed the deal. She helped me see the bigger picture and keep my eyes on the prize when it was easy to get bogged down in the weeds of a negotiation. I couldn’t be happier with my new place. When I need to look for real estate again in the future, she’s the only person I’ll call. She was a joy to work with, and I highly recommend her." - Renter

★★★★★
"Lisa is the best! She helped me find my most recent apartment as well as multiple before that! She got me a great rate in the exact spot that I wanted. After 2 months of living here, I am even happier than when I signed. Thank you, Lisa!!" - Joe Z

★★★★★
"Working with Lisa was a dream. She is very respectful, patient, dependable, and provides excellent feedback. I really felt like I had a partner in my court during the whole process while looking for a place to live in a new city that I didn't know too well. I look forward to working with her again, and I highly recommend that you contact her to help you find your new home." - Jacob D

★★★★★
"We were referred to Lisa by a friend who had purchased a home in Chicago. The first time we talked to Lisa, she walked us through the whole process of home buying. She listened to us and made suggestions of things we could look for in a new home. Lisa has an impressive knowledge of Chicago real estate and the CPS system. She was responsive the entire process and still answers our questions (post closing). I highly recommend using Lisa!" - R Malina

"Lisa has the patience to help us find exactly what we were looking for, she remembered every detail of our needs. Very energetic and available to answer any questions we had. We finally found everything we were looking for in our first home. Thank you Lisa" - Buyer

★★★★★
"Lisa was very patient with us as new home buyers and wanting specific things in the home we were looking for. This process went on for nearly two years of watching the market and looking for those specific criteria. Lisa continued to check in periodically to make sure if there was anything jumping out at us on the market worth spending the time to view. Finally, that day came and she was very accommodating to our schedule and finally it was the right home for us. She was communicative and informing of the process and what we could expect as the next steps to help be prepared and informed along the way. She made us feel confident in our decisions during the process by covering all the possible scenarios so we could be prepared. Stuck by us through the process and always did her best to make us feel taken care of." - V Roslewski

★★★★★
"I’ve found my last 2 apartments with Lisa’s help and she is excellent. Very knowledgeable, Lisa knew exactly what I was looking for and streamlined the process so I was able to move-in in no time." - Renter

★★★★★
"Lisa will stop at nothing to find you the perfect apartment. The list of potential apartment she sends are exactly in the criteria we gave Lisa. When we are ready to view an apartment Lisa is quick to setup a time and make sure it is a quick and painless experience. I have moved often in Chicago and can say that Lisa made for the best experience I have had so far." - Nathan K

★★★★★
"My roommate and I were renting our first apartment and Lisa was extremely patient throughout the whole process. She gave honest feedback and was a great asset to have. Thanks again Lisa!" - Emily S

★★★★★
"Lisa was exceptional! And she is definitely the most efficient, organized, and patient person I have ever met! She went above and beyond to help my roommate and I find an apartment that we loved with only a few weeks before our previous lease was up. She showed us places that were in our price range and that fit all of our other requests as well (which definitely wasn't easy). Lisa also helped us get this apartment in a very competitive market because she had given us a list of documents to have ready to go for the application process. We were able to apply within a few hours of seeing the apartment with her help! My roommate and I then had some issues with our landlord during the move-in process, and Lisa ended up helping us solve them. She was able to get us in contact with the owner of the management company so that everything could be figured out in a timely manner. I cannot recommend her enough!" - Morgan Z

★★★★★
"Lisa helped us buy our first condo, and then helped us sell it three years later. She was super helpful in answering any and all questions... as first time buyers and then sellers, we had a lot of them! Both processes were made easy and painless because of Lisa and her team. Oh, and after only 7 days on the market, she brought us an above asking price offer! We highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking to buy or sell!" - Scott A

★★★★★
"We worked with Lisa in January 2017. She understood exactly what we were looking for. She showed us options that met our criteria. At each location she pointed out the pros and cons to help us choose the perfect place. She provided additional insight on things that we never even thought about. She made the process painless for a quick close. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home! She went over and above what a typical agent would do." - Buyer

★★★★★
"I relocated to Chicago a few months ago, Lisa graciously took the time to LITERALLY drive me around the city so that I could find a neighborhood that was both safe and in line with my list of ammenities. She negotiated my lease terms with ease and treated my family as if we were million dollar buyers. I will definitely reach out to her again when it is time to purchase!!!" - Anuwet W

★★★★★
"No question in my mind as to whether or not I would recommend Lisa. She knows Chicago and she will go to all ends to make you completely happy. Lisa has helped us rent one of our Condo's on multiple occasions and helped us sell another. We trust Lisa with all of our Real Estate needs since we live out of town now. She is always willing to pitch in to do whatever it is we need." - Seller

★★★★★
"Lisa was very knowledgeable about the areas we looked for housing and was able to find us a condo we fell in love with within about 3 weeks. Unfortunately there were multiple bids on the condo and we got into a bidding war and after looking at comps in the building after we bought I believe we overpaid by about 10k." - Michael V

★★★★★
"Lisa has been an incredible realtor for my family to work with over the years. Lisa originally helped my husband find his first apartment in Chicago when he was relocating from Boston. She also went out with us apartment and later condo hunting on three separate occasions - ultimately each of those times we decided that our changing life circumstances and other financial commitments didn't allow us to move. Never once did she make us feel like we'd wasted her time. When we finally knew it was time for us to buy, we were looking with both working full-time jobs, raising two small children, and my husband was in school part-time at DePaul. Lisa was able to navigate around our crazy schedules and show us what we were interested in in diverse parts of the city. Even my kids loved her and spending our weekends looking for homes was actually fun! We are content in our condo for now, but if we do move again in the future, Lisa will be our first call." - Jennifer R.
