“Lisa sweat all the details with our vacation home purchase, including making the 3-hour round trip drive twice for showings and inspections. She inspired complete confidence that our interests would be represented and never missed a single follow-up by text or phone. She’s among the best agents I’ve had the pleasure to work with on the buy-side (or any side!).”

“I couldn’t have sold my family home without Lisa. An emotional journey for me, she guided me through the process of readying it with a balance of kind sensitivity, and professional practicality. Her energy was boundless. Her strategy for pricing achieved our goals. She goes well beyond the expectations of an agent.”

“I am so glad we ended up working with Lisa. She is constantly available and very knowledgeable regarding all of the weird questions we had to ask as first time home buyers. We also had loads of fun touring houses with her. A perfect blend of smart, professional, and relatable.”

“We are so happy that we chose to work with Lisa Novak. She is extremely knowledgeable, focused on customer experience, an expert negotiator, and a natural problem solver. She was also so patient when showing houses with our toddler and newborn in tow! You know you’ve got a great agent when she’ll hold and feed your baby while you walk a property. :) Lisa took the time to find the perfect property that fit our unconventional wishlist. It was clear that she understood our wants & style and was able to present listings that we were excited to see. We never felt rushed or like she just wanted to close a deal. I knew that she had our best interest at heart and would not be happy unless we found the perfect property. We did! Lisa represented us in a complex transaction that required extra attention at many points - from a last minute geological/bluff survey to complications on the seller’s end. Whenever Lisa encountered a problem, she was prepared with at least one solution. She is fantastic and we look forward to working with her again and will recommend her to our friends and family.”

“Lisa considered everything we needed - logistically, financially, and emotionally - to sell our house filled with 17 years of memories and to find the perfect new home. She is amazing! Her negotiation skills were what got us the perfect house. We are settling into our new place now and miss spending time with her. She became a great friend.”

"Lisa is a top notch agent and we had an incredible experience working with her. She is kind, generous in spirit, fun to be around, and effective! She toured countless homes with us, always with a smile, until we found our dream home. She helped us submit a winning offer." in a very tough competitive market. We felt confident with Lisa representing us and I am more than happy to recommend her to a friend.

“Lisa did an amazing job representing my house and listening to me when I had concerns or issues I wanted addressed. She engaged a videographer to make a fabulous video of the property and of the neighborhood, as we wanted to capitalize on its family friendly and walkable nature. She followed up with a great marketing strategy, getting that video, along with the additional listing information, out on social media to generate interest. We had an impressive number of people come through the 2 open houses as a result and managed to sell the house in just 4 days! I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.”

“Recommending Lisa as your next realtor is one of the easiest decisions you will make. She made selling a condo and buying a house not only stress free, but fun. Everything she does has a special touch of class and character and she was able to be our teammate throughout this life-changing event! She is strategic, caring, assertive, and determined in making selling and buying the best experience possible!”

“I am so glad my elderly father chose Lisa to work with out of all the realtor options he had. She made his life so easy and it was such a relief having her personal touch since I live out of state and could not always be there when needed. He felt well-cared for through the entire process. Overall, Lisa ensured that everything moved along smoothly, made efforts to meet him at his home whenever possible to avoid his having to travel around, and was extremely respectful and kind. Best of all, his condo sold quickly and he is very pleased! I can't recommend Lisa highly enough!”

“Lisa did a great job. She is honest, thorough and worked hard on our behalf. We found the perfect home because of her. Lisa was patient through 7 offers, and did not allow us to overbid or look for a house that was inappropriate. She was available day or night and was a pleasure to work with.”

“She is great. A tireless worker, creative and honest. Can’t ask for anything more from a realtor.”

“Lisa helped us purchase our first home. Lisa was great to work with. She kept us focused on what mattered to us, helping us to evaluate homes based on our near term and longer term goals. She helped us get through the complexities of the process with ease. She was very responsive and quick to give us information about what was going on while not overwhelming us. She helped us get a great deal on a home that we are very happy with. Thank you, Lisa!”

“Lisa is an excellent communicator, trustworthy and personable, skilled at time management, and has true expertise in the Seattle market and Real Estate in general. She is highly available and punctual via text, email, and phone, and always has the next deadline, down to the hour, at the forefront of her mind. In addition, Lisa was flexible and accommodating of my 9-5 job schedule, which allowed me to take minimal time off from work. Lisa can speak at great length about all aspects of the home buying process and provides enough detail at every decision point to allow you to come to your own conclusions. As someone who asks lots of questions, this was important to me. At negotiation time, Lisa Novak is someone you want on your side, as she has a keen understanding of when to push and when to compromise. I couldn’t recommend Lisa more.”

“Lisa has in-depth knowledge of local neighborhoods, schools, and home values. We live out of state now, and were unable to make any trips to see the house—Lisa was our eyes and ears—she was there on our behalf and gave us updates about the proceedings. She has gone above and beyond to help us in the process of buying this house. Her professionalism, knowledge and honesty are much respected and appreciated. We strongly recommend her.”

“We interviewed two separate agents and chose Lisa for her honesty, expertise and ability to recommend what did and didn’t need to be done to the house in a way that felt like a great partnership. We also utilized the Compass Concierge services – which had vendors we already knew were amazing! Lisa is also fun which I felt was important when things would get intense. And the topping on the cake, she builds great relationships with the other realtors and is a wicked great negotiator!! We were so happy with our result! Sold in 10 hours with multiple offers, for 6.25% over asking price, and even when closing got bumpy she was right there in it!”

“We recently used Lisa to buy a new home and then subsequently sell our prior house. She was amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough. We knew we were particular about location and so that was going to slow down our buying process, but Lisa was right there with us the whole time and in the end we got the exact location we wanted :) . She was always there to answer questions, navigate inspections and bidding, and honestly she is a large part of the reason I was able to maintain my sanity through it all. When it came to selling our house, she helped us get it on the market quickly and gave incredible advice/contacts for some tweaks we could do that I do believe increased the sale price of the house we sold. If I needed to buy/sell again I wouldn't hesitate at all to use Lisa, she is amazing!”

“We were not looking to buy, but when a house came on the market that I had looked at years ago, we jumped in with no notice. She was responsive and available at all hours to explain the process, lender issues and emotional support as we bought our new home. She's an expert in her industry for a reason and if we sell or buy again, we will absolutely use her again.”
