Lisa Cleaver, JD - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

My wife and I worked with Lisa for three real estate transactions in the last two years (we sold two properties and bought one).

We were very happy with Lisa as our realtor; she was very professional and responsive, and was a reliable partner throughout. During the process of selling our properties, she performed very thorough research on comparative pricing in our respective neighborhoods, and provided realistic suggestions on pricing. Lisa kept us constantly informed on potential interest in our properties. During the inspection process of our home sales, Lisa regularly went above and beyond when it came to scheduling and coordinating the repairs that were requested by the buyers, and even offered to handle some of the municipal administrative tasks (deed transfers, etc.) which avoided disruption to our work schedules. As we searched for a new home, she kept our preferences and criteria in mind when scheduling showings, and with her help, we found a home and neighborhood that we are extremely pleased with. We absolutely recommend using Lisa as a realtor.

I sold a unique home with Lisa and she demonstrated great patience and kept thinking of new opportunities to reach the right buyer.

She was successful and the closing was smooth because of her planning. She assisted with every step and was always positive and relaxed. I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking to sell their home.

I would highly recommend Lisa Cleaver RE/MAX Suburban Real Estate when looking for the realtor to locate your new home.

I assume Lisa is just as good at selling a home as she was finding a home for us. Lisa was very thorough in her research to find our home. Our situation was unique as we were relocating from out of state. We communicated several times leading up to the 3 days, which included a weekend, that Lisa cleared her entire schedule to look at over 30 homes with us! We were fortunate enough to find the one we loved, but Lisa’s advice to look at it and a few others one more time before pulling the trigger shows that she wasn’t quick to pressure us into making an offer. She wanted to make sure that it was the right fit. I really feel that even if we weren’t lucky enough to find the home on this 3 day marathon, Lisa would have cleared another weekend or more for us to fly back in and continue the search. She continues, 3 months after the closing date, to communicate with us and make sure that all is well. She has also shared contacts for home improvements or service work needs(carpet, electrical, painters, etc...) and has made it clear to continue seeking out for any guidance. It is clear that Lisa didn’t just sell us our home and move on, she has a genuine interest in making sure we are happy with the home and all that is going well. We are so so lucky to have gotten connected with Lisa as our realtor and we will be calling her for future real estate needs.

I highly recommend Lisa Cleaver as a realtor in this competitive market.

She’s the whole package!! Lisa is not only a very professional and seasoned expert Realtor, but also a certified stager! Lisa worked with us to get our home ready, inside and out, for potential buyers before our house even hit the MLS! We received amazing feedback right away and Lisa helped navigate us through the process with a great offer and sale very quickly!! Thank you Lisa!!!

We were very pleased with the help Lisa gave us.

Four family members had inherited the house so compromise was key. Lisa was patient with us and was available anytime we had questions. Always professional, she gently directed the 4 of us to make knowledgeable decisions and negotiated well with the buyer. Lisa understands real estate law, which is extremely important because there are a lot of detailed legal issues that arise when you're selling a house. We all agree that we would highly recommend Lisa Cleaver.

Lisa is a true gem!

My family and I recently purchased a home in Glen Ellyn with Lisa's help. We are extremely picky people, especially when it comes to a house. Lisa tirelessly showed us dozens and dozens of homes, all the while offering valuable insight into both the homes and the various parts of town (we recently moved to Glen Ellyn from out of state). Working with her to find a home was an absolute pleasure, but her value didn't end there. Since moving in, we have leaned on her expertise to recommend local services and contractors. She continues to deliver! We found her extremely pleasant to work with, exceptionally competent in her job, and a fabulous community resource. She definitely earns our highest recommendation.

Lisa is a true professional.

Recently, she helped my elderly parents purchase a comfortable home. She knows the market and listens carefully to gather customer requirements. The whole process was smooth and efficient. Thanks so much, Lisa.

"Lisa is excellent I all that she did for us buy our be home and sell our old home. Always in touch, excellent communication with us and agents, lawyers, etc. She knew how to price the property that we sold and we had an offer in 18 days (other homes in our development have been on the market for over 9 months). She also helped with staging and other details. My wife and I would recommend Lisa to family and friends without hesitation!"

"Lisa far exceeded all of our expectations as first-time home buyers in helping us find the right home in the right location for our family, and we enthusiastically recommend her services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is prompt, courteous, very responsive, and maintains a deep and impressive knowledge of local market trends and all facets of the home-buying process. Lisa also maintains extensive contacts in her field, and can connect you with various lawyers, inspectors, and contractors to help you buy and later maintain your home. Her experience and professionalism were on display from day one. At our first meeting, she took us on an informative tour of the communities and neighborhoods where we were looking to buy, and showed us nearly a dozen houses for sale that met our search criteria (e.g., number of bedrooms and bathrooms, square footage, walkability, etc.). Lisa is extremely patient, and always took the time to explain various aspects of the process and to answer our many questions about such varied subjects as home pricing, recent sales trends, and the offer and negotiation process. Once we had decided to submit an offer for our home, Lisa met with us in person to discuss and set the specific terms of our initial offer. In doing so, she went through the proposed real estate contract provision-by-provision, explaining the purpose and legal significance of each one and answering all of our questions. After the offer, she kept us in the loop throughout the initial price negotiation and the subsequent home inspection and repair negotiation, and took the time to help us process and understand counteroffers and strategize regarding how to respond. She was consistently pragmatic and realistic in her advice, while always leaving to us the ultimate decision as to how to proceed, devoid of any pressure to make any concession or accept any term whatsoever. She even helped us negotiate an extended (90-day) closing window. Lisa always looked out for our best interests, and consistently went above and beyond to facilitate the purchase of our home. She volunteered to pick up our home buyer transfer tax stamps necessary for closing – fronting the money for the cost – so that we could avoid making a special trip with our newborn baby to pick them up ourselves. Later, during the final walk-through on closing day, Lisa noticed that the furnace was malfunctioning and successfully negotiated a closing credit to cover the cost of necessary repairs. Even more impressive, Lisa spent nearly an entire day supervising the furnace work on our behalf the day after the closing (and after she had already been paid). From that day to the present, Lisa has continued to offer advice and outstanding contractor recommendations when we have needed any home maintenance or repair work performed, and has kept in touch by sending us a newsletter with current market trends and helpful homeownership advice."

"We called the number on a sign for a property and Lisa was the one who returned our call. We met her and immediately liked her. Since that meeting went well, we worked with her on buying our single family home. She exceeded our expectations here, so we worked with her to sell our townhouse. With other realtors, I never full trusted them to put my interests first. This is not the case with Lisa. She is honest. She is smart. She is kind. She is responsive. She is knowledgeable. Negotiations went well in both cases. We would work with Lisa again in a heartbeat and would recommend her enthusiastically."

"What can I say about Lisa? We literally wouldn't have been able to get our house without her. She went beyond her normal day to day job to help us out, when others didn't. She answered every call at any time, gave us every answer we needed and never let us down. She cares about her client, looked at every situation from our perspective and in the end got us our dream home! Thank you Lisa!"
