Lisa Hinkson went above and beyond to make sure I found the perfect home. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market, home buying and selling, and is an expert with corresponding with other agents to ensure the best experience for her client. She is very communicative, responsive, diligent and organized, which made the home buying process a lot smoother than I anticipated. It is difficult to find agents you can trust, and Lisa is someone that you can rely on without a doubt.
She was not only a pleasure to work with, but also sweet and caring with all her personalized touches for her clients. I plan to keep in touch with Lisa because she is that much of a wonderful person and I would want her help on all my home buying/selling needs. I very highly recommend Lisa to anyone that wants to have the best experience possible with their home!
