A Team to Trust, Schoenhouse & Manter

What do Clients Say?

"Lisa Schoenhouse and real estate partner, Miles Manter represented us very well as our buying agent in the purchase of our forever-home. We've worked with Lisa for years, but this was different with COVID19 challenges. Yet, Lisa went above and beyond, working tirelessly to find and show properties that met our needs and desires. She and her team were very patient, attentive, knowledgeable and readily available. She introduced us to areas we had never considered. All quality-properties, and finally she showed us our forever-home. Joelle knew this was the one at the front door. We recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a real estate agent. Awesome job Lisa and team. We appreciate you and forever grateful."

Joelle & Greg Garrett

Miles and Lisa have now represented us in three transactions. They have been very thorough and professional and they have gone the extra mile with caring for our house while we were away, seeing to it that needed work got done when we were unable and even having professional cleaners come in at no expense to us. But the bottom line is that they have always got us very top dollar for our house. We recommend them to anyone without reservation.

Genevieve & David King

Lisa helped us buy our house 9 years ago before Miles came into the picture. We have just sold the same house. We had 7 offers and sold it for $100,000 over asking. Lisa and Miles helped us improve the landscaping that was completely botched by our crappy landscaper. Our house was pretty amazing to begin with but they added some finishing touches that were simple but really made the house pop. The process was so easy and uneventful. It was a very painful situation for us as we only sold our house because of divorce. Lisa and Miles were very sensitive to our situation. Both my ex and I will always use Lisa and Miles as our realtors.

We loved working with Lisa! She was great to work with starting with helping us decide whether it was the right time to sell, through the process and even now, post-sale and close of escrow, she continues to check in to see if there is anything else she can do for us. thank you Lisa, and Miles, for your expertise and responsiveness, and for just being nice to deal with!

Concetta & Chris Congling

Dear Lisa, I was a first time home buyer with a lot of questions and fears about being a home owner. Thank you for making the entire process extremely manageable from start to finish. You found me a fabulous lender and financial advisor, spent countless hours with me looking at houses, educated me on the various processes, negotiated the contract, was present during inspections, and took the time to go over all the details with me, from start-to-finish. When I began my search for the perfect house and found a few that I liked, you weren’t afraid to be honest with me about the potential downsides. I had done my best to be knowledgeable before I started the home buying process, but you gave me insights that I never would have thought of which saved me from some potentially bad choices. I valued you’re tremendous "grasp" of the market and your intuitive feeling as to what a house was really worth. When I finally did find the right home, there were multiple offers and multiple counters. But despite the odds, it was my offer that was selected even though it wasn’t the highest offer on the table. That speaks volumes about your experience and skills in a very competitive industry. Then came escrow. I had heard horror stories from friends and family about the “escrow” process. So, I braced myself for an emotional 30 days. As it turned out, escrow was a breeze! It was the least stressful part of the process. I was equally impressed with your incredible network of highly qualified, very professional and friendly people that you relied upon when needed, in order to get the job done. Everyone in your team made me feel like I was their most important client and that no mountain was too high to climb. I sincerely appreciated how you maintained the perfect balance of professionalism, good humor, patience, understanding and diplomacy. You have been a true delight to work with on a personal level as well as professional one. Thank you for the reassurance and comfort through some of the more stressful processes. It was truly a pleasure having you as my agent. I love my new home and could not have done it without you – seriously!
