Success Stories

102 Swift Creek -2

Success Story: Sold Over the Asking Price!

Property Address: 102 Swift Creek Crossing

This pristine and open property was meticulously prepared for the market with simple staging and detailed marketing to showcase its classic elegance and incredible modern amenities. The home earned multiple offers and my sellers received $112,000 over the asking price!

Success Story: Sold on the Seller's Timeline

Property Address: 3016 Oxford Drive

This super cute split-level home is filled with great original details that pair perfectly with the modern designs that run throughout the house. With a great property and Durham location, the sellers and I anticipated that many prospective buyers would want to move in quickly, but the sellers were looking for some extra time to move out. I negotiated on their behalf and they enjoyed a 30 day close and a 30 day rent back, which allowed them to stay in their home an extra 30 days after closing, at no cost to them!

Success Story: Staging and Preparations

Property Address: 4619 Timberwood Trail

This gorgeous floor plan needed some simple updates and staging to make it pop and wow potential buyers. My team and I made recommendations on fresh paint, kitchen updates, and personally staged it to show off the classic charm of this farmhouse. Over the years, I have found that even the most basic of preparations can make a huge impact. In this case, we had multiple showings and offers and secured a contract over $50,000 over the asking price within just three days!

Lisa is amazing. Her guidance and expertise enabled us to sell our house for full price in less than a week. From pricing to prep advice to handling offers and inspections to closing...she walked with us every step of the way. She is amazing and we can’t recommend her highly enough!! The BEST.

Frances F.

Lisa was very patient for the almost one year and countless showings and remained very hopeful while we were getting discouraged we would not find the perfect house. In the end, we found our perfect house, sold ours for much more than expected and all the transactions were smooth and efficiently handled.

Our home had two offers OVER asking price and went under contract in just 3 days! Lisa's team followed through and communicated every minor detail, making this an easy, seamless and pleasant process. A five star rating isn't enough!  Look no further, Lisa Ellis and her team are your source for home selling and buying!

Lily V.

Working with Lisa was a dream! She was professional, prompt, and so knowledgeable - she and her team took care of everything and helped us sell our house for an amazing price. She was always easy to contact and helped ensure the entire process was seamless. Could not recommend her more!

Brittany M.

Lisa has helped me with the sale of two of my homes, and the purchase of my current home. Lisa is amazing to work with! She is on the ball at ALL times, responds to any issues right away. I was traveling when I put my rental home on the market, and Lisa went to the house to make sure all my utilities were turned back on after the tenants had left so the house could be shown right away. She made the entire process seamless and super easy! House was sold within a week of being on the market! I didn't even have to be at the closing, she handled everything for me! Lisa will always be my go-to girl with all my real estate needs.

Kerstin D.

Lisa Ellis and her staff were outstanding to work with!  She listened to our views as we tried to determine the optimum list price, she ensured we had top notch photos for our listing, and she was always available, either by phone or in person, to discuss strategy or answer questions.  We highly recommend Lisa if you are looking for excellent, personalized service!
