"Lisa Richards was truly the professional I was hoping I would meet during our recent house-hunting experience. She was extremely knowledgeable of the process and advised us throughout. I particularly appreciated the fact that she was very accessible should we have any questions. She was always prompt for our meetings and came prepared. She has a charming personality and is very bright, just a delight to transact business with what could have been a very torturous experience. I would definitely seek out her services in the future should I be looking to sell or buy another property!"

"Lisa Richards helped us sell our house in less than two weeks. She guided us on pricing our house appropriately, then she worked at the speed of lightning to communicate with the buyers. We were confident that Lisa understood our priorities and goals, and we were glad to have her in our corner as we negotiated the details of the sale. We recommended her highly to friends looking to sell their home, and they were very pleased. She was just as good at helping them to buy a home, because she is on the phone and e-mailing at all hours to make sure that no opportunities are missed. We don't plan to move for a long time, but when we do, we want Lisa to take care of us again."

"Lisa,
We had heard about Lisa from a friend, ran into her by accident while visiting an open house, and were so impressed with the advice she gave us on the spot that we decided to ask her to help us sell our home in West Roxbury and move into Brookline. Given the market situation, we were very anxious about the prospects for making this transition affordable. Lisa supported us patiently through several months of watching and planning, coached us through preparing our home for showing and calculated an asking price that met our needs. Despite the tricky market, we received a good offer withing 10 days of listings our home! Afterwords, as our buyer's agent, Lisa was a terrific resource in helping us find an affordable single family home in Brookline - again within weeks. Throughout the process we values her advice on the market and how to deal with buyers and sellers constructively. Best of all, she's now out neighbor!"

"Lisa, Well we did it, and it certainly wasn't easy. I'd like to thank you for your patience(especially with my near panic at times), thoroughness, aggressiveness (when needed), and your ability to apply just the right amount of pressure at just the right time. Above all, you never lost faith.
Thanks again for all your hard work for us."
PS - Your patience, even when things got tense, was remarkable.

"Dear Lisa,
So much to be thankful for and so much of the credit I give to you.
Your loyalty, love and your expert guidance was given and appreciated in so many areas. You added touches here and there and even brought your boys to help move things in, out and around. It is amazing what you have done especially as the real estate market was a real challenge.
With all the love and kindness shown by you certainly helped me to keep going and made my life much brighter and lighter."
Thanks Again, Dot May


"Lisa,
Thank you for everything. You are a pleasure to know and work with. You certainly simplified my life during this very stressful move. How wonderful for both of us that there was an immediate sale. Thanks again!"

"We worked with Lisa for over one year looking for our dream house. Through many ups and downs, we successfully achieved our goal and Lisa was very instrumental in the process. Lisa was born and raised in Brookline, and knows this city like the palm of her hand. Her many years in the business, as well as her knowledge of the Brookline real estate market made us feel very comfortable. She guided us through the process, and always had our best interest in mind. She was not interested in just finding "a house" for us, but instead she was really looking forward to helping us find a house we would love. During the entire time we worked with her, she was always optimistic and honest, and we found her negotiations skills to be superb. Even when we thought that things wouldn't work out for us, she kept us going, and thanks to that, we were not only able to find our dream house, but we were able to find a buyer for our prior house in just two days after being listed! This was an incredible outcome considering the difficult housing market at the present time, and especially the tight market here in the town of Brookiline. We feel very lucky to have worked with Lisa, and would recommend her to anyone trying to buy or sell a house."
With kind regards, Roberto and Gaby


" Our experience working with Lisa Richards was exemplary!
Lisa is a consummate professional. She knows her business and the area. She has a warm, engaging and friendly style, and gave generously of her time, creativity and knowledge to help us get the very best price for our property in a difficult and challenging market.
Lisa kept in touch with us by phone, e-mail and in person during the entire process. I admire and respect Lisa's sincerity. The fact we were able to trust her implicitly to represent our best interests with brokers, attorneys and potential buyers during the difficult time following our mother's death was critical to our success.
I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone contemplating the sale or purchase of their house."
Janice Belmonte


"Lisa, we can not thank you enough for your guidance in helping us with the process of purchasing our first home. Knowing how nervous and anxious we were as first time homebuyers, you were willing to take the extra time to answer all our questions and to make sure we understood what we were doing. Thank you so much Lisa and keep up the good work."

"We knew that we were in the best of realtor hands with Lisa May Richards when looking to purchase our downsized home. Professional and market knowledgeable, Lisa walked with us through each step of the process seamlessly and stress free. She was always available for questions, and gave timely replies, guidance and advice. We couldn't feel more confident in her capabilities. And are completely delighted with our new home!

"Lisa Richards was the most patience and knowledge relator we?ve had the pleasure of working with. We literally spent about 2 years looking at houses/condos, putting multiple offers on different places that didn?t work out (I think anyone who?s looked for places knows this struggle!) When we got burned out, Lisa was very great about not being too pushy, giving us the freedom to look on our terms, which we appreciated because we didn?t want to feel pressured to buy something we didn?t love. Eventually, we found our dream house and had to deal with quite of back and forth once the offer was accepted, etc. However, Lisa was very knowledgeable and was able to negotiate very well, getting us the price we wanted, and a credit for the additional work we needed to do after we owned the home. Her insight was very needed for us first time home buyers and we are so glad we chose her to help us every step of the way!!

Best,

Samantha Kane

"We had a fantastic experience working with Lisa Richards to buy our first home. As first time home buyers, we had little knowledge of the home buying process. Lisa did an exceptional job educating us, guiding us through the process from search to closing. She was incredibly helpful and we felt confident with her expertise. She removed any stress we had by handling negotiations with the sellers on our behalf. She was responsive and made us feel like her top priority. We would highly recommend Lisa to anyone buying or selling a home; she was pleasant and professional from start to finish. We love our home and can?t thank Lisa enough!

"As first time home buyers navigating the stressful yet rewarding process of buying a home, we were thankful to have Lisa?s guidance. She did not pressure us through the process and was very patient during our extended search. When it was time to put an offer in she helped us get the best deal that we could. On the day of our home inspection, the provided home inspector we chose cancelled on us. Lisa used her extensive network to quickly find a same day replacement. We highly recommend Lisa

"My listing agent, Lisa May Richards, worked tirelessly for me in the sale of my home.The home had been for sale for 6 months with another agency (for a lower price), and we saw absolutely no action during that time.When Lisa acquired the listing, we had an accepted offer in place within two weeks.I dont live in the area, therefore, it was difficult for me to handle all the things that go on during the listing and sales process. Lisa took care of EVERYTHING...from setting up painters, dealing start to finish with staging companies,arranging, and meeting the city officials for the smoke detector inspection. Even during the "final hour" of closing, Lisa procured keys and other such things for the new buyer so that I didnt have to make the trip. I would HIGHLY recommend Lisa to any and all. She truly is a "super" agent."

"Great service by agent. She went above and beyond on both of sale and purchased negotiations."

"Daily updates on how the purchase was coming along and what was needed to move forward"

"Lisa was the perfect match for us. She is a committed agent, knows the Chestnut Hill market, is professional and a genuinely nice person.Best of all she is confident and supportive, understanding the stress of moving. She is simply a pro who helps every step of the way."
