Read More"Lisa Carswell and Sandy exceeded our expectations. From the initial meeting to qualify them as our realtor to the closing of our home, we were amazed at their work ethic, professional skills, prompt communications, personal attention to detail and helping to calm the nerves of selling and buying a house."
Johnnie and Rebecca Burleson
"I had a piece of property in High Meadow Ranch that I had purchased to build on a couple of years ago. I ran into Lisa and she asked if I was interested in selling the property. I was not sure until she told me what I could get for it. She sold it for a 45% more than what I paid for it to a cash buyer. ... Thank you for your knowledge, your guidance, and your professionalism."
