Why Choose
Working with Lise was a great experience. I was new to the DMV area, and was referred to Lise by a colleague. Lise was very responsive and knowledgeable about the market dynamics in the area I wanted to purchase a house. She was also very patient and kind throughout my home purchase and sale processes. She went out of her way to ensure that I got the home I wanted. I will definitely be using her again in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a home in the DMV.
I worked with Lise Howe for some months as I searched for a property to purchase in the DMV (District, Maryland and Virginia). Lise took exquisite and unsurpassably compassionate care of and for me – a demanding, difficult, exactlng, anxious potential buyer. Lise brought to bear seasoned, keenly professional knowledge about various aspects of properties that concerned me particularly, including the possible presence of hazardous materials built into the structures we inspected and the potential for radon gas in the lots and land where these structures were located. Lise took my concerns seriously and nonjudgmentally, and she made very clear her desire that I feel safe and comfortable living in any property I might decide to purchase. Lise never betrayed the trust I placed in her with highly personal details of my life.
I have interacted with a number of real estate agents in the DMV and elsewhere. Each was courteous and professional, but none surpassed Lise with regard to pertinent knowledge, generosity of time, capacity to establish rapport, willingness to provide material resources I would never have imagined anyone would make available, and forbearance from exerting on her client any pressure to purchase.
Ultimately I decided I did not wish to own in the DMV. Lise was completely accepting of this, wished me well, and made clear I could reach back out to her if my current plans prove inexecutable.
Lise and her team made our recent home purchase a wonderful process! We live overseas, and ended up putting in an offer on our new home before ever seeing it. Lise made sure we did virtual walk throughs, giving honest commentary of what she saw in person while really listening to what was important to us. She went above and beyond, even driving around to take videos of neighborhoods to give us the best possible understanding of the houses we were interested in. She also helped us negotiate a great price!—never an easy feat in the DMV market, but Lise made it look effortless. Her team made sure every detail of the purchase process was taken care of. In the end, we ended up with a great home in our dream neighborhood. We can’t thanks Lise and her team enough!
Lise jumped in to help me with an offer to buy my townhouse before it was on the market. She was a great guide to what I needed to do, an advocate for me, and available whenever it was necessary. She explained exactly what the process was and how to prepare for the different steps. I enjoyed her sense of humor and calm competence during this process that can be stressful. The outcome was perfect!
From the moment we met Lise Howe, our fears about not being able to sell our condominium in Kenwood Forest disappeared. Lise is a wonderful combination of the very professional, businesslike realtor and the down-to-earth, practical friend who knows exactly what needs to be done and how. All Lise’s suggestions were on the mark. My husband and I took great advantage of the army of plumbers, painters, cleaners and movers who serve at Lise’s command. We would have wasted lots of valuable time trying to find reliable, affordable and good help by ourselves. Since it was late Fall when we put our condo up for sale, and Lise had informed us that we had lots of competition, we knew selling the property wouldn’t be easy. We therefore very much appreciated how Lise was always candid with us, providing frequent updates about where things stood, even when the news was disappointing. Happily, before the holidays began, Lise found the perfect match for our condo. Within days – and with the tremendous help of her very efficient office – we completed all the paperwork and all the final touches. What we dreaded would be an onerous and demanding project turned into a successful sale. We have only Lise to thank for her great expertise and experience, her diligence and candor and her wit and friendship.
I am very grateful to Lise for helping me sell our house quickly and efficiently. It took only 6 weeks from the initial conversation on the sale to the closing transaction. It would not have happened had I hired another agent. Lise’s excellent knowledge of the area, great sense of the market, expertise in procedures and rules, her personal directory of resources that may be needed in the process, and her clientele base — they all make the process a smooth ride and get you to a happy destination. Lise will stand for your interests and will pro-actively advise you on all important matters of your transaction.
