"Risa help set up the house for sale including providing complimentary general cleaning and professional window washing, Both improved the appearance of the house and I am sure these actions positively influenced the offers we received.

  -Jordan Oberhaus, Client

"I have known Risa for over 2 years but this was the first time I actually had a chance to use her services...and talk about competent! She started working for me and the sale of our home 3 months before we actually signed the listing. And once we signed then all heaven broke loose. All the previous advice she had given, all the claims of what she would do to sell our home came true. She supervised all the repairs and changes that had to be done. She "staged" the home with incredible furniture and interior design items...pictures, paintings, flowers, etc. She then started her marketing campaign...we ended up listing, staging and selling the home in just under 90 days. We got a full price offer and had many comments from other agents that ours was the nicest listing in the complex! We would definitely recommend her both as a Listing Agent as well as a Buyer's Agent...thank you Risa!"

"Risa played a major role in the reconstruction and sale of our condo. She provided architectural and design advice throughout its remodel. Then she did an excellent job in staging the condo and making it ready for a sale. The condo was a difficult sell because it was upgraded beyond any of the other units in an older condo development. We were very pleased with Risa's work and would highly recommend her to anyone wishing to sell their property."

"This was the second time my wife and I worked with Risa. She is excellent at her job. Full disclosure, I went to high school with Risa. But I asked to review her. That aside, Risa listened to us about the type of property we wanted and showed us a range of options BUT not ones that were "why don't you spend much more?" or that were absurd. So we were able to see the price range and assess the quality of property quite well. In addition, she stayed on top of details with inspections, questions with the seller's claims versus reality, counter offers and more all the way through the deals. When it came time for repairs, she helped make sure they were done correctly and solved issues as they arose. In addition, when we needed a view on what was important or not, Risa was clear about what she thought and why. It was not a "don't worry about it, buy the property" response. It was a thoughtful explanation and discussion as needed."

  -Deven, Client

"She is absolutely the best in the business! Excellent advocate for her clients, and knows the area extremely well. This is the fourth home I have purchased with her as my agent."

  -Brian, Client

"Risa is the BEST!! She is incredibly knowledgeable and super friendly. We have worked with her for a few transactions now, and are currently in another with her. We will for sure use her in the future too. She's very familiar with the area, and is so accessible. I sometimes feel bad contacting her at random hours, but she always responds quickly and doesn't make you feel like you are an inconvenience. She does her research and always thinks of things that we are blind to as the buyers/sellers. She is truly one of a kind and brings her A-game every time. Also, she's an incredible interior designer!! Look no further if you're looking for a realtor that cares about your needs and will do anything to make you happy --- Risa is your gal!"

  -Kendra , Client

"Risa was a true blessing to us. We had to quickly sell my elderly parent's' home due to their health issues. We live 500 miles away; so, we relied on Risa and she took care of everything. She coordinated some fairly extensive repairs and used her expertise to transform and decorate the house to really maximize it's value. We recommend Risa without hesitation. She is professional and earned our complete trust and respect. She turned a very stressful situation into a positive experience and It was a delight to work with her."

  -Elly, Client

"Listening is a lost art. Risa actually listens to what the client states regarding their real estate wants and needs. Patience is a virtue that Risa has. Risa stays on top of the client's real estate transaction. Risa communicates with the client appropriately Risa is very knowledgeable of the current real estate market in the area. If I relocate, I will definitely contact Risa to handle my real estate transaction. If I know of anyone in need of real-estate services I would highly recommend Risa Waite. This review was completed approximately 4 months after the closing of my real estate transaction. Thus, Risa made a lasting impression. :)"
