Chrissy & Lisa | Re/Max by invitation

He's done a fantastic job. He's explained things thoroughly and just done wonderful work for me. He's very prompt.

Lisa DuBois is phenomenal. We recently relocated to the Falls Church area and needed guidance on the best neighborhoods in the area, as well as help ensuring everything went to plan with our long distance move. Lisa is a fantastic negotiator, extremely knowledgeable about the area, and very responsive. Our home purchase was not without hiccups, but it was well-managed and went smoothly because of Lisa. We will no doubt work with Lisa in the future when we are ready to sell or buy in the area.

Excellent! Quickly negotiated both the purchase and sale of my house. Responsive and professional. Extensive knowledge of N VA real estate market. Quality service provided by the whole team

I worked with Lisa to sell my father's house after he passed away. Lisa was an amazing resource and really set my mind at ease throughout the whole process. She understood that I was just so overwhelmed with the inordinate amount of things to get done all while trying to process my grief and keep on top of my job. Her network of contacts was amazing and she took care of everything that needed to happen to get the home ready for sale -- arranging with an Estate Agent, recommending an elder law attorney, finding a contractor to do needed repairs, engaging the cleaning service and stagers -- you name it, she was on top of it. Even when she was on a much needed (and deserved!) vacation, she was on top of everything and was completely responsive. I highly recommend Lisa - she is confident, highly capable, knowledgeable and a great advocate for her clients, and on top of everything a compassionate and caring individual

Lisa DuBois managed for us the largest real estate transaction in the past decade in our subdivision, more than $3MM combined. From the first 30-second impression of the initial walk-through of the home we were selling and then at every interaction throughout the four months it took to complete the transactions of both homes--including the multiple graces she showed AFTER the sales--Lisa was simply everything you could ever ask for in a real estate professional. She knows her stuff! Because she is an exquisite professional, she has developed an extended network of reliable professionals she can get to act on your behalf in a moment's notice. They all love working with her and told us so. Lisa understands the tactical aspects of the market, the neighborhood, the current economic climate, and what makes a property special. And she's an ace at the strategery of the business--when to be aggressive, and when to wait for a minute. But Lisa does much more than manage a series of transactions; she also understands that real estate is about relationships. She earns your trust immediately with her confident candor and expertise, and then she keeps your trust at every small and significant step along the way. Our deal was protracted and, at times, tender. But Lisa helped us to feel confident throughout, and I walked away from the settlements wishing i had more work to do with her. She would be in the top 1 percent of any professional sector. Lucky for us, she worked in real estate at a time when we needed someone like her.

The purchase went very smoothly and all the major concerns following inspection were taken care of by the seller.  Chrissy was able to negociate an purchase price below the asking price.  My mother was very pleased, as was the rest of the family.

Lisa was a superb agent working with us to sell my mother's home. She is a real professional who knows the real estate market in Northern Virginia, is always on top of the many details that go into selling a house, and is always available for her clients. Throughout the process, Lisa was very responsive to our questions and kept us informed every step of the way.  The fee for selling the house was the standard 6%, but Lisa included staging services at no additional cost to us.

Even before we signed a contract with Lisa to represent us as sellers, she was extremely helpful in getting the house ready to go on the market.  Lisa shared with us potential contractors who could do the necessary work, then shepherded their work on our behalf.  The house was beautiful when it went on the market, and sold for full asking price in less than 1 week.

We will definitely use Lisa's services for future real estate needs and highly recommend her to our friends and neighbors.

We couldn't be happier with the services we received from Lisa Dubois.  She was a professional throughout the entire process, answered our thousands of questions, showed us every house we wanted to see, and worked within our schedules.  As first-time home buyers, she also helped us understand every stage in the process and really took the anxiety out of buying a first time home. 
Her great services continued even after closing.  Lisa still responds quickly to our emails and texts, continues to provide recommendations for services, and we continue to stay in touch.

Awesome, highly recommend them. First class professionals from start to finish and then even after the sale. We still stay in contact with them!

We have boxes to unpack, a house to clean, and a dozen errands to run, but we couldn't let another minute go by without sitting down to write a recommendation for our realtor (and hero) Lisa Dubois.
 
When we decided to take the plunge and start looking for a new home in the Lake Barcroft neighborhood of Falls Church, VA we knew we wanted someone who knew the neighborhood well. We had bought and sold homes before but we knew the Lake Barcroft market was a unique one and we wanted someone who understood the intricacies of the neighborhood. Upon the raving recommendations of our friends and neighbors, we hired Lisa.  We knew we wanted to try to buy a lakefront home and knowing how infrequently they came up, we decided to look at a short sale listing: a house that we had looked at earlier in the year, but not considered. Because of Lisa's experience in buying and selling homes, Lisa was able to show us what a wonderful home this truly could be and we decided to go for it. Buying a short sale is never an easy process, but Lisa kept us informed every step of the way, morning and night. She kept us focused and moving forward through all the ups and downs that come with buying a short sale. She worked closely with a title company and the IRS when issues popped up and really pushed to make this deal happen. She also worked closely with our lender to make sure we were on target for closing and kept our lender up-to-date. She made many personal sacrifices to help us get this home. On the day the previous owners were moving out, Lisa was at the house helping them pack and on a day?s notice, she was able to hire a large crew of specialized cleaners to come in and clear the house. Now that we have been in the house, she continues to offer advice and resources.
 
When it came to selling our home, Lisa was just as impressive. Her background in marketing and her community contacts were extremely helpful in the selling of our home. When you work with Lisa, you have a whole team on your side: Lisa brought in a stager, contractors, and even a professional photographer to help us sell our home; when something needed to be repaired on the house, she got multiple bids from her contractors and negotiated the best prices for us. You can imagine how much time this saved us! Her marketing material, including brochures, postcards, online tours, a dedicated website, and online listings were beautiful and savvy. Because of her hard work and talent, our house was under contract in less than a month at our asking price. While all of that is impressive, what is really remarkable is that Lisa was able to keep our house under contract after the purchase of our new home was delayed. It was a complicated situation, but because of Lisa's stellar negotiation skills and professionalism she was able to make it work.
 
We love our new home and can't believe how lucky we are. Who knows when or where we will move to next (or if we ever will!), but we know that if we do that Lisa will be our realtor. Lisa is assertive, but not pushy. She knows the market. She's always reachable regardless of hour or day or the week. She was responsive to our never-ending questions and handled the ups and downs with poise and an awesome sense of humor. While we specifically hired Lisa because of her knowledge of Lake Barcroft, we know she is just as knowledgeable of many other homes in the Washington DC area.
 
The bottom line is if you are buying or selling a home, we recommend hiring Lisa Dubois as your realtor!

I just learned that Lisa has been ranked the #5 ReMax agent in the Commonwealth of Virginia ? and I know why. It has been a year since my husband and I purchased our home, and we are still raving about Lisa and the great service she provides.  

Before we met Lisa, we were working with another realtor who was not meeting our needs. I would ask the agent, ?Do you think we could build a garage on this property?? and she would respond, ?Here?s the phone number for the County.? That was just not cutting it.  

I mentioned my frustration to a friend and he said ?You need Lisa!? He was right.  

When we would ask Lisa a question like that, her response would be something like ?I thought you might ask that so I researched the zoning laws and here?s what I found. Also, I reached out to a contractor I work with and he estimates that it will cost ____ for you to build what you?re looking for.?  

Time and time again we were impressed with her thoroughness and her attention to details. It was so refreshing. Other times, Lisa impressed us by having already previewed houses before taking us by (without us asking). I don?t think many realtors take the time to do that.  

Where Lisa really earned my praise, in my opinion, is what I call the ?counseling? part of her job. To make a long story short, my husband and I were not exactly on the same page concerning a comfortable price point. Not an uncommon problem, I'm sure. We found a house that we loved but the price was higher than we wanted. Lisa gently worked with us to get us to reach an agreement. We offered a lower price and after several rounds of offers and counteroffers, we got the house that we both loved for a price that we were comfortable with.  

In an effort to provide a balanced review, I will say that if I had a criticism of Lisa it would be that she is very busy. I was somewhat (okay, very) type-A in my home search and I would find a house online and want to go see it immediately. Lisa was always responsive, and always made time, it just wasn?t always immediately or at the exact time that I wanted. I really can?t fault her for that. She does have many clients.  

Go with Lisa. You won?t be sorry.
