About Me

Hello there! I'm someone who's been fortunate to call Mercer Island my home for the past 20 years. Originally from Colorado, I was drawn to Washington for its abundance of outdoor opportunities. 

Real estate is more than just a profession for me; it's a family legacy. My mother spent over 25 years selling real estate in the Denver area, while my grandfather was a builder there in the 1950s. You could say that the real estate industry runs in my blood. I had the privilege of being my mom's "assistant" during her real estate journey, where I learned the ins and outs of running a small real estate business—from stuffing brochures to hanging her cards on people's doors. This experience ignited my passion for working with people and understanding their unique stories. I take pride in being an expert listener and helping guide my clients towards achieving their real estate goals.

I am excited about the opportunity to work with you, learn about your aspirations and needs, and assist you in finding the perfect solution for your real estate journey. Let's embark on this journey together and create meaningful connections while making your dreams a reality.

From our initial meeting, Lisa took the time to truly understand what I was looking for in a property. She listened attentively to my preferences, concerns, and budget, and then used her expertise to curate a selection of properties that perfectly aligned with my criteria.

We are so lucky to have found Lisa! She is personable, warm and genuine-you can tell she truly cares about her clients. She knows her stuff and offers excellent guidance in the home buying process, but ultimately she cares about finding you the home YOU want. As first time homebuyers, it would have been easy to get discouraged during our home search in a very competitive market, but Lisa’s hard work and positivity led us to finding the perfect home. If you are looking to buy real estate, we highly recommend giving Lisa a call!
