What My Clients Are Saying…
“★★★★★ - As a realtor Lyssa had three main characteristics I personally found extremely important. She was compassionate, competent and resourceful. I put compassionate first because I never felt that she was thinking first of herself and her commission, but always knew that I was her first concern. Because I had no family that could assist me with my move, she understood how stressful it was for me to sell my house and move to a new city. She understood what that meant from my perspective and would find solutions for my situation and feelings. Because of her experience working with seniors, she knew what solutions would alleviate my anxieties. She had very reasonable resources and suggestions for those outside entities that would be needed for the move i.e., stagers, movers, junk dealers, cleaners, and charitable organizations, etc. if you did not have your own. Her focus was always on the client first. I would highly recommend her as a Realtor.”
“★★★★★ - My realtor, Lyssa Phillips, walked me expertly through every step of the process of buying my new home and selling my old one. I made a quick final decision on my new purchase an hour before the deadline to submit offers, and she rose to the occasion with speed and skill. As a result of her hard work, I got the house of my dreams! Packing and selling my home of 35 years was the next challenge, and she provided me with all the resources I needed to ease the job and make it as painless as possible. She was professional, kind, and supportive every step of the way. She was courteous, friendly, and accessible whether I needed some information or just her support. I would not hesitate to recommend Lyssa to anyone looking for a great realtor.”
“★★★★★ - Lyssa is one of the best realtor I’ve ever met. We met couple of years ago while we were looking for an apartment to rent. That day I told my wife that Lyssa will be the realtor who will help us find our dream home once we will start looking and she agreed with me instantly. Lyssa is a very special person, she is knowledgeable, friendly, punctual, careful and she love her job. We never felt that we were dealing with an agent rather than a close friend or maybe a family member. We really appreciate working with her. she deserve all the best.”
“★★★★★ - After the death of my father, my brothers, sister and I had to face the daunting task of cleaning of our childhood home. Our parents had lived in this home for almost 60 years. We worked on the weekends for months to clean out the house. After about 7 months, we were at the point where we would need professional help to sell the house. As my father’s personal representative, I spoke with several real estate agents. My sister referred Lyssa so with my siblings, I met with Lyssa. She had very good ideas for the house. She also had a wealth of resources that we were able to take advantage of — electrician, plumber, junk removers, interior cleaning for example. Within several weeks, we had several offers, thanks to Lyssa. I may have been Dad’s personal rep, but Lyssa made selling the house a collaborative process for all of us which I gratefully appreciated!”
