At the time of publication, Lisa serves as the Chair of the Community Development Advisory Commission for the City of Glendale. She’s a proud member of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce, serving on their Board of Directors, Public Policy Committee, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. She served as the Vice-Chair of the 2019 - 2020 Citizen Bond Election Committee for the City of Glendale and as Chair of the 2021-2022 CBEC. Lisa is a member of the Citizens Police Academy Alumni of Glendale (CPAAG) and the Glendale Woman’s Club, serving as their Conservation Committee Co-Chair.
Lisa has the network and ethics and professionalism everyone wants in a realtor. Before, during, and after the time Lisa sold my home, she has provided me with the information I needed and the answers to my questions. Even now, as I still search for a new home in a different state, Lisa continues to be my standard for what is ethical and professional. And, she is the heart of Glendale, AZ - she knows her community and is involved. Which helps her narrow down the ‘right’ home for you. When you ask yourself - what do I want in a realtor - Lisa is the standard to measure by. Thank you Lisa for the awesome, information, timing, photos...everything you did to support me and the sale of my home. Melissa D. “Lisa truly exceeded our expectations with everything during the sale of our home and purchase of our new one. This felt so overwhelming but was made possible with her help. She went through our home and gave us a room by room, item by item list of what to change to make it ready for listing. She brought in things to help stage our home, arranged for carpet cleaners, house cleaners, and professional photos. By the time she was done I hardly recognized our house it looked so amazing! Check out before and after pictures on her site to see what I mean, not just from my home but others too! When it came to negotiating contracts she explained things so thoroughly, sometimes multiple times when we couldn’t remember her earlier answer, and walked us through each step. She was available whenever we needed her for a phone call, text, appointment at the house, or just a quick reassurance that everything would be okay. And to top it off, a thoughtful move in gift included things like toilet paper and soap which can be easy to forget and some legos for the kids to enjoy and keep busy while we tried to get moved in. While we plan on growing old and gray (grayer) in this house, if we ever have the need for a realtor again she will always have our business! I cannot sing her praises enough!”
