" Lisa is the best realtor I have ever worked with. This was a very stressful time for me as I was selling my home and moving cross country. Lisa was so attentive that I felt I was her only client or at least her favorite. With Covid 19 there were problems having people look at my property but she was on top of it. She solved all the issues and eased my anxiety. Lisa’s exceptional expertise and loving nature made this process so much easier for me. I could not have done this without her. "

" Lisa is extraordinary. She sold our rental in 2 days with 3 offers, above the asking price. She made sure the closing was easy and effortless and she was with us every step of the way. She also worked with us to sell our residence and together we battled through the Kincaid fire, evacuations, power outages and the pandemic. She was on top of all the requirements every step of the way. She even came over and emptied our freezer into hers because we were out of the country during the power outage. That is above and beyond!!!! And she understood when we ultimately decided not to sell. I would use her services again and heartily recommend her. "

- Gina Ness

" I had a wonderful experience working with Lisa. 5 years ago she when I first bought this home in Santa Rosa, she helped me with the buy process which involved several months of home searching and many busy weekends visiting different listings. Since I had such a great experience with her, when I was ready to sell, I also reached out to her for help. She helped me navigate the sell and it was a very smooth transaction. Lisa guided me through getting the home ready for the market. There was a lot to consider and she was there to give me the pros and cons for every decision I made. She also connected me with the right people I needed to do the repairs and inspections needed to get the home ready. If you want an agent who is quick, super responsive, attentive and proactive, Lisa is the agent for you! "

" Lisa is one of a kind and who I now consider a friend. When my late brother passed away suddenly last summer, I found myself responsible for his estate Even though he was 93, he lived in his own home, was an avid gardener and acted as his own property manager for a couple rental properties. I decided I needed to sell his properties since I live 125 miles away. Lisa was up to the challenge immediately. Her expertise and professionalism were outstanding, and I am so thankful I found her. Her patience with me (I am not a computer geek) never faltered as she walked me through the selling process every step of the way. I can never thank her enough for the peace of mind she has given me. "

- Allison Hatfield

" In my experience of selling Real Estate...this was my 6th house for sale...Lisa was the very best Realtor that I have ever engaged! She gave me her advice on how best to prepare the house for showing. She was always ahead of me in planning her approach to make this sale! She knew all of the forms that were necessary and helped me to try to keep up with her! And the forms just keep coming! At times I was overwhelmed! She helped me from day one, to make the decision to sell and explained to me the reasons why in this topsy turvy market. Then she knew the best approach to handle multiple offers that she had predicted! I was blown away...17 offers!!!!! She catagorized them and then helped me to decide which were the best with the least amount of uncertainty to accept. I still find it difficult to believe the house sold in less than a week on MLS! Great Job Lisa!! "

- Shirley Collins

She is very knowledgeable about all the in's and out's of the real estate transaction and kept us in the loop the whole time. She made suggestions for showing and maintaining the home and when we were overwhelmed with packing and all the details that come with moving to a new location, she advised, "Do what you can". That reduced a lot of my stress. Lisa was always just a text away and rarely did it take more than an hour to get a response. She was always upbeat and encouraging and genuinely cared about our well-being. She even helped with posting furniture we were selling on Facebook! I was very impressed with how thorough LIsa is with all the documentation required. She really knows her stuff. Honestly, you will thank yourself for choosing Lisa to represent you! "

" In my experience of selling 6 properties, Lisa is the best realtor that I have ever used to sell real estate. She is kind and considerate in her demeaner. She helped us make the decision to sell in today's market! She always listened to our preferences all the while making good suggestions for the sale. She is so professional making the sale seamless even with all the paperwork required in California. She was always available for questions and explanations when I needed them. I was overwhelmed at times! When we had multiple 17 offers, she categorized them making it easier for me with her help to decide which offer to accept. Then she made the closing of escrow like a party to emphasize the importance of the day! It truly was an emotional day since it was the former home of my deceased husband of 25 years and one of my last connections to him! Yes with all of my heart I will recommend Lisa to all my friends to become their realtor in any sale or purchase of real estate! My best wishes to Lisa to continue her professional career with great success! "

"

" Lisa did a stellar job for my wife and I. We bought our first home with relative ease all thanks to Lisa. We were sort of picky and Lisa was always willing to move on and show us the next place. I really couldn’t have asked for more from her and I even felt guilty at times looking at so many different homes at odd hours.

" Lisa Steele was able to navigate through; in my opinion a difficult sale. She did so with wisdom and grace. The subject property was involved in the Glass Fire, which added all sorts of out of the ordinary questions and difficult scenarios. Through her guidance and experience she was able to salvage the deal and get the home to close escrow. This involved Buyer and Seller meetings to evaluate the home after the Fire. My Wife and I could not be happier with Lisa and her services. To top it all off; when receiving our keys, Lisa presented our family with individual gifts, that included our three daughters, and our dogs. You can tell that Lisa takes time, energy and thought throughout the entire process of buying a home, to which her clients reap the rewards. At the end of the day.... I will enthusiastically recommend Lisa Steele to anyone needing real-estate services. Nicholas Lockwood "

" Wow. Where to begin? She's extremely good at selling houses. She put our house in front of interested eyes like no agent we' ve ever used before. We've sold probably 9 hours (?) in the past 25 years, and this woman is the best. She has more energy than a football team. She's smart, yes, but the stand-out traitis that she's willing to take onto her own shoulders everything an exhausted seller could ask. She gives very good advice that we didn't always take and recognize now how wrong we were. In term sof her personality, she's the marriage of likeability, energy, resourcefulness, experience, connections, and smarts that you want in a real estate agent and never find in one person. Well, Lisa is that person. Look no further. "

- Cody W. Aman (Vineyard Manager )

" Buying a home, especially for the first time, can be a daunting and stressful process. There is nobody who understands that better than Lisa. She made time for us anytime we wanted to go look at houses, was incredibly responsive and available at all hours. She is very knowledgable in real estate and knows the business well, which is very helpful because there is a ton of strategy involved. Most importantly though, she truly cares. When we got discouraged, she gave suggestions on changing our approach and found more houses for us to go see. She listened to what we wanted, and tried to find a home that would fit us. She really pours her heart into her work. And when we finally found our dream home, she worked tirelessly and closed after only 16 days in escrow. I would recommend her highly to anyone I know including family and close friends. She’s the best in the business. "

- Kirsten Aman (Laboratory Technician)

" We were so lucky to have Lisa guide us every step of the way in selling my Dad's home. There were so many overwhelming decisions and tasks to deal with as he had lived in it almost 30 years and done minimal fixing up in that time. She really took the stress out of the process, and we were able to get it ready for market quickly and it sold for way over asking price on the first day of showing despite being a fixer upper. Lisa's professionalism, courtesy, organization, judgement was all first-rate and we highly recommend her! "

- Mark Richardson

" Thanks to Lisa, we had a great home sale experience even though our family was flung all over the country, several time zones away. She answered questions thoroughly and with a great deal of local expertise. She was friendly and personable, and she returned calls and emails so promptly that sometimes I wondered if the poor woman ever sleeps! Seriously, Lisa is an incredibly diligent worker and really put her all into making sure we got exactly the offer we wanted. I would recommend her without hesitation. "

- Damian Chadwick

" We had major issues with a very tight time frame and a 60 pound dog to consider. Lisa provided the expertise to get it done! "

- Kevin and Lynn Satow (Physician )

" Lisa provided the most amazing customer service. I would enthusiastically encourage others to use her services. Her real estate knowledge is thorough and professional. And her humor and warmth make a stressful time easy to endure. In our case the process was smooth and timely. Well done! "

- CHRISTINE Ingrassia

" "Lisa never missed a phone call or text from me or my wife. She was always available to us at basically anytime we needed. I couldn't ask for a better agent. I will be recommending Lisa to everyone I know. " "

- Chris and Jessica Ivie (Union Plumber and Interior Designer)

" From the day we interviewed Lisa to the day we pulled away from the home, Lisa went over and above anything I would have expected from a real estate agent. She is very knowledgeable about all the in's and out's of the real estate transaction and kept us in the loop the whole time. She made suggestions for showing and maintaining the home and when we were overwhelmed with packing and all the details that come with moving to a new location, she advised, "Do what you can". That reduced a lot of my stress. Lisa was always just a text away and rarely did it take more than an hour to get a response. She was always upbeat and encouraging and genuinely cared about our well-being. She even helped with posting furniture we were selling on Facebook! I was very impressed with how thorough LIsa is with all the documentation required. She really knows her stuff. Honestly, you will thank yourself for choosing Lisa to represent you! "

- Laurie Bowman

" Lisa is a fantastic realtor. She is incredibly knowledgeable, knows the area extremely well and above all is a superb listener. I definitely recommend her for any if your real estate needs, she will have all of my future business. "

- Tom Baker

" Lisa Steele is amazing, to work with in are journey to buy are forever home , very professional and understanding to the needs of her clients. I highly recommend if your looking to buy a home Lisa Steele is the best in the business to work with. "

- Brian hatfield

" Lisa is amazing! Her commitment, care and knowledge make the whole experience that much better. She is a flawless communicator. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a property. "

- Janine Ahlers-Scott

" Lisa did a stellar job for my wife and I. We bought our first home with relative ease all thanks to Lisa. We were sort of picky and Lisa was always willing to move on and show us the next place. I really couldn’t have asked for more from her and I even felt guilty at times looking at so many different homes at odd hours. Her thoughts and advice in an inflated Sonoma County market were priceless. I already recommend her to anyone I know who’s interested in buying a home and I will continue to do so. "

- Chris Ivie (Foreman Plumber Local 38)

" WOW. Lisa is the best realtor ever! She was so professional, efficient, and effective. She listened very closely to our needs and wants and helped us clarify exactly the house we wanted! She located a townhouse for us that was not yet on the market and with her expertise we were able to close the deal and get our deed in about 14 days! Lisa works tirelessly for her clients. She also has given us great referrals and advice to help us get our loan and find the right contractors. She knows her home city and where we would fit into the neighborhood also. I very highly recommend Lisa for anyone looking for a new home! "

- Ruth Hansten

" Lisa Steele was very accommodating with all our needs and changes throughout the buying process. We had to battle covid restrictions and the glass fire, so we had challenges. She was great through it all. She went above and beyond helping us with zoom conferences and getting ALL our needs met. Communication is key through this process and she mastered it. We really enjoyed working with Lisa! She is sure to communicate your needs and get the message across. Highly recommend working with her. "

- Shannon Lockwood

" Lisa Steele represents the highest quality in personal attentiveness and professional competency as my real estate agent. I felt we were always working together. I wish to say Lisa is a genuinely nice person who I completely trust. Lisa has my highest recommendation. "

- Gardner Carlson (Home Seller)

" Lisa was amazing. The property I was looking for was unique and Lisa used her contacts to find a property that was not on the market. Throughout the purchase process her communication was amazing. She is incredibly organized and so I had summary emails of the timeline, reminders when a payment was due, etc. She kept on the title company to meet our escrow date and ensured I had all the paperwork I needed to get the building of my dreams. Thank you, Lisa! "

- Madelyne Cromwell

" If I had to describe Lisa in one word, it would have to be "awesome!" She truly is a remarkable person and a consummate professional. Having had only one prior real estate experience before (when I purchased home in another city 27 years ago) I wanted a realtor who was experienced, very detail-oriented, kind, and willing to walk me through each step in selling my mother's home after she passed. I got that and so much more when I signed on with Lisa. I found her to be patient, supportive and extremely knowledgeable; she really listens and cares about what you want from the sale and works hard to make the real estate process as simple and as comfortable as possible for her clients. Throughout the entire process from my initial contact with Lisa to the completion of the sale, Lisa was always upbeat, informative, and accessible to me. She consistently kept me apprised of what was going to happen next, what I needed to do, and was there with welcome recommendations to help me when I needed local resources to help me complete a task. When she said at our first contact that she was only a text (or an email or phone call) away she wasn't kidding. She always responded so quickly I felt like we were tethered together. I guess the biggest (bonus) take-away I have about my real estate experience with Lisa is that I never felt alone. I always felt that Lisa had my back and was on-top of everything (which she absolutely was). Emotions in our family were running particularly high having recently lost our mother and then selling the family home. Lisa was a stabilizing force (and a breath of fresh air) in helping to keep to the plan and the stated goal and objectives of the sale, and her welcome recommendations early on helped enable us to make a quick and satisfying sale once the home hit the market. Thank you for everything Lisa! You are the BEST! "

- Kirsten Aman

" Lisa is the best realtor I have ever worked with. This was a very stressful time for me as I was selling my home and moving cross country. Lisa was so attentive that I felt I was her only client or at least her favorite. With Covid 19 there were problems having people look at my property but she was on top of it. She solved all the issues and eased my anxiety. Lisa’s exceptional expertise and loving nature made this process so much easier for me. I could not have done this without her. "

- Judy Conley

" "Researched customer satisfaction to determine lisa's reputation. She far succeeded other client's expectations and my family was equally impressed by her kindness, sensitivity, and character. Lisa conducted herself with upmost professionalism especially since the listing she helped to create within a week caused a challanging multiple bid situation with all cash offers. You are VERY lucky to have Lisa Steele working for you! Her performance far exceeds any expectation my family had of a real estate agent!!! Without a doubt she should be promoted and given a raise. In fact, we were so pleased that we want her to begin to list for sale four parcels of acreage I own in Northern CA up by Mt. Shasta as well! Completely excellent in all ways. Her communication was always thoughtful and prompt. My family felt that we could trust her completely to lead us through the process of selling and leaving our home. Not only was Lisa's performance amazing, but at one point the broker at your office jumped in to address a tricky dynamic with an agent who brought an offer for my property but that agent, not from your office, was behaving badly. In this situation I got to see the tremendous support that Lisa had from her broker. Excellent in all ways." "

- Barbara N

" Lisa is extraordinary. She sold our rental in 2 days with 3 offers, above the asking price. She made sure the closing was easy and effortless and she was with us every step of the way. She also worked with us to sell our residence and together we battled through the Kincaid fire, evacuations, power outages and the pandemic. She was on top of all the requirements every step of the way. She even came over and emptied our freezer into hers because we were out of the country during the power outage. That is above and beyond!!!! And she understood when we ultimately decided not to sell. I would use her services again and heartily recommend her. "

- Susan Daniel (Consultant)

" My partner and I are now in our Senior Years. This means we have bought and sold several homes in our lifetime. I can honestly say, Lisa Steele has been the most helpful, professional, and ethical realtor either of us has had the opportunity to work with. She is not only warm and friendly, she is sincerely caring. She works by the motto of service. She truly wants to help her client find the home that feels right for them. She exudes no pressure, no frustration...only the desire to help. She gets more than 5 stars for her professionalism. She takes time to walk her client through every part of the legal transaction and explains each step. She seems to know how overwhelming the transaction of home buying can be...not to mention stressful. But the real test of a good realtor is their ethical behavior. Lisa knew the pain we were enduring from the bad choice we made with the realtor who we listed our home with and Lisa stood tall and didn't use the opportunity for her gain or her sale. The bottom line is trust. Lisa won our trust and she has the right stuff to win the trust of anyone else who ventures to put their fiduciary trust in her hands. Lisa Steele is a stellar realtor!!!! "

- Gardner Carlson

" Lisa is a true professional and cares for what YOU want. She is very positive, but also keeps things transparent when hurdles came our way, and was great at strategizing and negotiating to pull through and make things happen when I thought it wasn't possible. Her communication and responsiveness is top level, along with her being proactive, and being extremely organized, this lady not only gets things done quickly but also does it right along the way! She is very knowledgable and helpful in explaining the process and keeping things on track. You will not be let down with Lisa! "

- Rachel Hanson

" Utmost Professional! Extremely Knowledgeable, Courteous and considerate what our needs were. Always available and made selling our home from out of state seamless. I recommend her for your Real Estate needs. "

- Ken Sarver

" In my experience of selling Real Estate...this was my 6th house for sale...Lisa was the very best Realtor that I have ever engaged! She gave me her advice on how best to prepare the house for showing. She was always ahead of me in planning her approach to make this sale! She knew all of the forms that were necessary and helped me to try to keep up with her! And the forms just keep coming! At times I was overwhelmed! She helped me from day one, to make the decision to sell and explained to me the reasons why in this topsy turvy market. Then she knew the best approach to handle multiple offers that she had predicted! I was blown away...17 offers!!!!! She catagorized them and then helped me to decide which were the best with the least amount of uncertainty to accept. I still find it difficult to believe the house sold in less than a week on MLS! Great Job Lisa!! "

- shirley collins

" In my experience of selling 6 properties, Lisa is the best realtor that I have ever used to sell real estate. She is kind and considerate in her demeaner. She helped us make the decision to sell in today's market! She always listened to our preferences all the while making good suggestions for the sale. She is so professional making the sale seamless even with all the paperwork required in California. She was always available for questions and explanations when I needed them. I was overwhelmed at times! When we had multiple 17 offers, she categorized them making it easier for me with her help to decide which offer to accept. Then she made the closing of escrow like a party to emphasize the importance of the day! It truly was an emotional day since it was the former home of my deceased husband of 25 years and one of my last connections to him! Yes with all of my heart I will recommend Lisa to all my friends to become their realtor in any sale or purchase of real estate! My best wishes to Lisa to continue her professional career with great success! "

" Lisa Steele did a fabulous job of finding my new home in Santa Rosa and walking me patiently through each step of the process, listening carefully to my needs and preferences. Her attention to detail and her perseverance to help me in any way possible through some very difficult situations truly amazed me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Sonoma County area, as she is well versed in the ins and outs of the various communities and it is obvious that she knows and loves this area well. "

- Danielle T

" I had a wonderful experience working with Lisa. 5 years ago she when I first bought this home in Santa Rosa, she helped me with the buy process which involved several months of home searching and many busy weekends visiting different listings. Since I had such a great experience with her, when I was ready to sell, I also reached out to her for help. She helped me navigate the sell and it was a very smooth transaction. Lisa guided me through getting the home ready for the market. There was a lot to consider and she was there to give me the pros and cons for every decision I made. She also connected me with the right people I needed to do the repairs and inspections needed to get the home ready. If you want an agent who is quick, super responsive, attentive and proactive, Lisa is the agent for you! "
