  -Seller- 4166 Kimberly Lane, 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."

  -Kate, Client

"Risa was a God send to us and exactly the person we needed to help us find our new home in Oceanside! Since we were coming from Sacramento, Risa learned our likes/dislikes, our needs and must haves along with nice to have and she worked diligently until she found us the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood! Risa is honest, hard working and professional, I recommend her to all!"

  -Carey, Client

"Risa goes the extra mile to ensure that her clients have a positive experience. From space planning to recommendations for window treatments, flooring, landscaping etc., she was very helpful to out of town clients like ourselves. She was very knowledgeable about the area, and steered us to the neighborhood that was a good fit for our lifestyle. She was very responsive to our questions and concerns during the contractural period."

  -Scott, 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

"Very professional and knowledgeable. Very easy to work wth given we were out of the country from the time we selected Risa through the sale and close of escrow. Would not hesitate to use her services again and refer her to friends and family."

  -Joanna, Client

"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

" Risa definitely goes the extra mile. She has a great ability to communicate in a logical relaxed fashion. I would highly recommend this lady! She is very skilled in the real estate game. She is also an excellent stager. She did all our staging and did not charge extra. "

"Risa held my hand through the entire sale. For a lot of reasons, this sale would not have happened without her. I would never use anyone else! "

  -Seller- 500 The Strand, Client

"Her professionalism and knowledge about the business made everything very easy for both parties!"

  -Jose, Client

"Risa was simply fantastic! The best Real Estate agent I have ever worked with in my experience. She regularly went beyond the "call of duty"and didn't think anything of it. We listed a property with her, and she helped us get the property in tip top shape to sell, and then got us a very reasonable price in record time. Help us through the escrow and close process and did an amazing job! "

  -Seller- Northwood Drive, 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!"

  -David , Client

"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."

"She was so willing to explore every option and was creative in solutions to my particular situation and needs. Rather than looking at limitations as difficulties, she enjoyed the challenge of putting the pieces together and finding the ideal place for me and my kids. In the end, I was so happy with my purchase and felt confident that I had made the best choice since I had looked at so many options."

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. :)"

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.

Risa was absolutely wonderful to work with, from the initial meeting to the end of the process; professional, personable and really good at explaining each step. Her expertise at staging was super, her reassurances and attention to detail were definitely what led to a great sale, in just over a week of being listed. Yes, I highly recommend Risa and thank her for a job really well done. :)""
