Here on this site you'll find how I work, the neighborhoods I serve, and the practical guidance that helps you move with confidence. If you are searching for a realtor who truly listens, you've come to the right place. You'll find warmth, honesty, and straight answers here, no pressure and no obligation, just a real person ready to help.
“Lisa was PHENOMENAL! I was out of state for most of the process and she was there for me every step of the way. I feel lucky to have had Lisa handling things. Lisa was prompt, professional, communicated well, and made sure she kept me in the loop and up to date. I could not possibly recommend her more!”
When life calls you to downsize, upsize, combine households, divorce, relocate, or start fresh — I help you sell one home and buy another with a clear, stress-free plan.

I'm not just a Realtor. I'm a transition specialist who helps people navigate downsizing, upsizing, relocating, divorce, estate sales, and every other life change that brings you to a new home. I know the neighborhoods of Medina County and Southwest Cuyahoga County inside and out. My approach is warm, relationship-focused, and built on clear communication. You won't feel like a transaction.

“Lisa is an excellent relator, very smart and knows how to list a home. Some folks will try and throw a Hail Mary and list big and then it ends up sitting and no one wants to touch. Lisa looked at the area crafted a smart asking price which was like chum in the water and sparked people to into huge bidding war getting us 30k over asking. A much smarter play driving down the field instead of high risk going for it all. Highly recommend her for your list, because above all she was very easy to work with.”

26 years of guiding
people through
life's biggest moves.
I've been a licensed real estate agent since January 2000, and over the last 26 years I've helped hundreds of households buy and sell homes throughout Northeast Ohio.
What I do best is help people who need to sell one home and buy another at the same time. Downsizing after the kids move out? Upsizing for a growing household? Going through a divorce or estate sale? Relocating from out of state? These transitions are stressful enough without worrying about how to figure out the timing of both moves.
That's where I come in. I'll build a clear plan for both sides so you can breathe a little easier.

"Lisa is in a word, AMAZING! She took the time to get to know us before we did anything! Explained what we were signing and why. She made sure we understood. Then we got to the fun part! The search! Everything we wanted to see she made the arrangements for, set the appointments, and enabled us to view the properties. Even when she took a much needed and well deserved vacation, she set us up with one of her partners, who was as interested in us as Lisa was. They accommodated us in seeing properties, even on New Years Day! If it wasn't for that viewing, we wouldn't be the ecstatic new homeowners we are today! From start to finish, Lisa worked hard for us! We would recommend her to anyone and would be happy to work with her again! Can you tell, we just loved our experience with Lisa and her EXP partners!"
"Lisa recently helped us close on our new house, and has been helping us buy or sell a house several times over 20 years now. The reason we keep coming back to Lisa is that she works so well for her clients, treats everyone with respect, and is a true professional. We never feel pressured in any way, and feel like she understood our needs and worked to meet them. Lisa has helped us now through 2 complicated, interstate transactions. We can't recommend her highly enough!"
"This is the third time we've come to Lisa for all our real estate needs, and she continues to exceed every expectation. She's everything you want when making such a big decision—whether buying or selling a home. Lisa is patient, optimistic, calm, and professional throughout the entire process. She's always there when you need her, but never pressures or sways you into making a decision just for the sake of moving forward. She truly supports you through every step of the journey—the ups, the downs, and ultimately the final destination. We truly cannot recommend her enough!"
