My son and I found our experience very honest and always willing to listen and help in any way. We visited many properties, never feeling rushed or being pressured. Got great feedback about our concerns. I would recommend Lisa Marie Smith and her team especially James Brewer, who spent a great deal of time showing us houses.

As we approach the first anniversary of our home sale and purchase with Lisa Marie, we are reflecting upon the excellent service that she and her team (Tim Hills) provided. We think about them often and have reached out to them several time in the past year for advice, recommendations, and just to say hello. From the beginning of the home-search process, Lisa exhibited patience with us as we were in no rush to move, but were looking for our next home. She took great care to show us several homes as an exercise in gaining a better understanding of our wants and needs in a new home. While we were second-time home buyers, our first home was a condo, so Lisa was extremely gracious to educate us in what to consider when purchasing a historic home versus new construction. She would make herself available if we wanted to view a home on a whim, and she was an excellent communicator. Her colleague, Tim Hills was exceptional at providing information to us prior to viewing a home, following up to answer any questions that we had, he provided additional information about the home-buying process proactively, and managed the contract creation, review, and execution process perfectly to insure no items were missed and that we met each deadline. The market-research he provided regarding comps was invaluable to determining the price to ask for the home we were selling. Beyond the home-search process, Lisa's experience facilitated the timely staging, photography/marketing, listing, and showing of our condo. Without her expertise, we would not have secured a contract on our condo as quickly, or for the targeted price-point. She was even able to provide contact information for contractors with whom she works and trusts--they have performed excellent work and have been pleasant to work with each time. All of Lisa's real estate prowess was exemplified in the final weeks of the selling and buying process. We were shielded from any challenges or complications of the brokerage process. She elegantly managed the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home simultaneously including scheduling our closings one (1) hour apart. She had to negotiate with both the buyer's agent and the seller's agent (and us) to orchestrate a timeline that was agreed upon by all parties which was no small feat. We were able to close in three (3) weeks on the same day. For about a month after moving into our new home, we kept waiting for the other shoe to drop but it never did; we cannot believe how easy the process was on our end. We could not be more pleased with our home selling and purchasing experience from start to finish, and we intend to work with Lisa Marie and Tim for all of our real estate needs going forward.

As inexperienced first time home buyers we were completely green and vulnerable. Lisa Marie quickly earned our trust by lending us her experience. She said it best, that she plays the role of a consultant, and advisor during the search and negotiation phases. We never felt like we were being pushed away from our interests, or steered toward a house with a higher price tag. Rather, she equipped us with the tools and knowledge to better understand where our needs met the market. She saved us from buying a bad home! Once we found the home we loved she took the role of project manager and stayed on top of the details so we always felt we were in good hands. On a personal note, we were able to share more about our lives with each other, which I think created trust and clarity necessary to go through that discernment process. When we'd tell experienced friends and family about the things she was doing they'd say "wow. you got a good agent!"

We were referred to Lisa Marie by a friend, and I cannot adequately put into words just how great she was to work with. Not only is she incredibly friendly and accommodating with her time but, as first time home owners, Lisa Marie walked us through EVERY aspect of home buying - including what red flags to look for. She was uncommonly knowledgable in her advice about general repairs, estimated costs, and neighborhoods which gave us a solid and confident understanding of the home we were purchasing. She even helped us through an unexpected concern with our neighbor after closing. We honestly could not have asked for a better partner throughout this whole experience.

My husband and I were referred to Lisa Marie by many of his satisfied co-workers/new GA homeowners. Due to long weekday work hours, my husband was only available to look at homes on the weekends. Luckily, Tim (Lisa Marie’s righthand man), was there every weekend, showing us homes and guiding us in the right direction whether it be avoiding flood zones, cracked foundations or “uncomfortable” deals all while making it fun! After patiently sifting through many many homes and with the help of their expertise in the “home” business, we had a smooth and easy closing and are now new Georgia homeowners. We would absolutely use this dynamic duo again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a new place to call home. They are honest, dependable and will fight for you to get the most out of your money. Greg and Maria

Lisa Marie Smith is without a doubt the best agent to have on your side when looking for a house in Atlanta. She (and her assistant Tim) is incredibly knowledgeable about every neighborhood, knows just what to look for upon viewing a house, and will always give you her honest opinion. I don’t know if I would be in the house I am today without her!

Lisa Marie is AWESOME!! Her guidance, expertise, patience, and years of experience in the in town market combined with her amazing colleague Tim made my condo selling experience exceptional - even through the dreaded due diligence process! Their expertise was an integral part of my home selling so quickly. Highly highly recommend Lisa Marie and Tim!! THANK YOU both!!

Lisa is the best! She’s a true partner throughout the real estate journey. She’s patient and provides honest direct feedback as she tries to find the house that fits your needs. We have probably looked at over 100 properties with Lisa over the past 8 years, bought 4 homes and sold 2. Every time our experience has been great. She’s a true partner and friend. She’s also helped my sister and parents buy 3 homes here in atlanta. Seriously the best!

Lisa Marie is a top agent who works diligently and patiently to help you find the right home for you and she is just as exceptional as a seller’s agent. We have worked with Lisa Marie as a buyer and seller and highly recommend her. An added bonus is that she is fun to work with and had a great sense of humor!

I would highly recommend Lisa Marie Smith for any real estate transaction. She has exceptional market knowledge and seeks to truly understand her clients' goals so she can ensure that she delivers. She has guided my husband and I through two sales of our rental properties in Atlanta. Throughout both experiences, she made us feel that we were her most important clients, keeping us informed throughout the process. We have no plans of using anyone other than Lisa Marie for our future real estate transactions, and she is the FIRST person I recommend when I hear that someone is looking for a real estate agent. She truly is the BEST.

I am so sad I bought a house and can’t do more house hunting with Lisa Marie! She is fantastic and so much fun to shop for houses with. All of my friends and family have used her as a realtor and we have no complaints! She is so knowledgeable about areas, prices, and how to negotiate. 5 stars all around.

Lisa Marie and her counterpart, Tim Hills, were absolutely fantastic throughout our home buying process. We went to them a few months ago with a vague idea of what the process would look like, and what we were looking for in our first home. They spent over an hour walking us through the entire process, what to expect, and what we could do to help us initially narrow down our search and move forward more efficiently. As first-time home owners, this was time well spent, and it was a critical step for us to gain the confidence and assurance we needed to proceed. Throughout the home selection process, they were extremely knowledgeable about homes, neighborhoods, school districts, and helped us identify the specific questions we needed to ask and be able to answer about each property. After showing us our dream home, they were there step by step to help us through the bid and negotiation process. They did a terrific job ensuring we received the best deal possible and had all the information we needed to proceed. In addition to being absolute professionals - very responsive, organized, proactive, and extremely knowledgeable, they are both kind and fun to be around. It can be a stressful process at times so it was an added bonus that we found realtors that we not only trusted but enjoyed being around as well. They exceeded our expectations many times during the process and we both highly recommend them and will plan to use them again in the future if we find ourselves in need!

Lisa Marie found our home last year in Ormewood Park and when we saw it, we knew it was the one. She showed us several other houses that were also all awesome and exactly what we said we were looking for. Throughout the entire buying process, Lisa Marie was our guru. As first time home buyers, without her guidance, we would have been totally overwhelmed. She is so knowledgeable and also just a really cool person. The minute you meet her, you know you can trust her. If you are looking for an agent who is a real pro, you must go with Lisa Marie! Thank you Lisa!!

We have personally worked with Lisa to buy 4 houses and sell 2 homes and will forever work with her. She is the BEST! She’s patient, honest and has become a great partner and friend. We have probably looked at over 100 homes and properties with Lisa over the past 8 years since moving to Atlanta and Lisa has helped us through every step in the process. We were lucky to run into her at an open house in Grant Park back in 2011 because she’s done so much for our family ever since.

We would not have our home without Lisa! We were the 7th offer to go in right before the deadline and we're not cash buyers. It's because of Lisa's expertise that we were able to set up the contract in a way that was so attractive to the seller that we got the house! Which is basically a miracle when you consider the current real estate market. What we also greatly appreciated from Lisa was her honesty and willingness to educate us on what makes a good or bad piece of property, her straightforwardness, and her ability to always accommodate you in her schedule in order to look at a home/answer questions/do some research. Her knowledge of the area is quite impressive and definitely not something you can just acquire overnight on a Google search. Lisa and Tim were extremely helpful during the entire process leading up to closing. Readily available to provide us with information we needed, communicating in a timely manner with our loan officers, and guiding us through any issues. All in all, we couldn't be happier with the outcome and the experience!

Lisa Marie has negotiated and guided our family members through 7 home sales in Candler Park, Cabbagetown, Glenwood and Grant Park. She makes us feel like her first priority through every step of the process. Her knowledge of her district, the market and Home strengths and weaknesses is outstanding. She has NEVER let us down and none of us would buy or sell another home without her! We thank her from the bottom of our hearts for her care and concern and EXPERTISE! She is the best!

I can highly recommend Lisa as a realtor. Her professionalism is beyond approach. She took our home and turned it into a masterful sales presentation and we were able to sell it within thirty days. I cannot say this more strongly, if you want a realtor who is going to work for YOU and get your home sold Lisa Marie is the realtor you want to hire. Mark McKinney

Lisa Marie was the perfect agent. Smart, friendly, an amazing negotiator and calming during the various items which come up along the way. I got the sale price I wanted for my home, and it sold quickly. She does a great job of researching the neighborhood, and ensuring that the home is priced to sell. An interior designer also, she makes sure that it's staged appropriately for the next buyer. A delightful experience from one whic could have been super stressful!

I recently purchased my first home with Lisa and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Atlanta area. She was prepared each time we met and exceeded my expectations in her knowledge of the Atlanta market and neighborhoods. Additionally, she represented me as a buyers agent in a fairly difficult transaction and was always available to provide advice and guidance and successfully negotiated each request of mine from the seller.

She helped us find the perfect house and there is no doubt that we will use Lisa again future, she's the best!

I can't say enough about the excellent service Lisa Marie Smith provided when I purchased my new home. It didn't take her long to learn exactly what I wanted and she didn't waste time showing me properties I wouldn't really like. Lisa was not only very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods I was interested in, she provided detailed information about the house I ended up buying before we even went inside of it. When It came time to make an offer, Lisa was able to negotiate some cash back for me at closing even though the seller was very firm on his asking price. With Lisa's help the whole loan process was a breeze. She even recommended the perfect mortgage company for me. I have purchased several properties in the past and this was by far my least stressful experience thanks to Lisa Marie Smith. I look forward to recommending her whenever I can. Thanks Lisa!

Lisa is far and away the best agent you can use when buying a house. The houses she showed us were well within in our price range and checked off most of what we were looking for in terms of amenities and location. After making an offer we were educated along the way as to what each step of the process meant and what would be in our best interest. She also has a great eye for interior design which was really an asset. Do it, you will not regret it.

Lisa Marie took me to every house I thought was a potential gem. She was so fun to house hunt with I almost wish I hadn't found one so quickly! She helped me decide what I wanted and didn't want in a house. She was honest and either said "lindsay you will not be happy with this one or I think if you're willing to change these things, this house could work for you." I put three offers on three different houses and ended up with the best one! Both Lisa Marie and Tim are extremely helpful and quick to respond no matter what the issue, question, or concern is. Lisa Marie came highly recommended by multiple friends and my mom who all used her to help them find homes. Working with them made the process of buying my first house, stress free and fun. I wouldn't use anyone else!

Lisa Marie knows the in-town market very well. She can give you a leg up on providing offers in this competitive market and has a great team supporting her to get you through due diligence. Her lender recommendation was fantastic. They were able to get me into the right loan product and were able to secure realistic appraisals in this batshit crazy market. If you are buying in-town, don't use anyone else.

Lisa Marie came highly recommended by close friends and she did not disappoint. I found her and her co-worker Tim Hills to be extremely professional and very helpful with the sale of my home in Grant Park. Her recommendations for upgrades prior to listing were spot on and I believe made a huge difference in the price and swiftness of the sale. I would highly recommend her if you need an agent.

My husband and I were new to Atlanta, and Lisa was extremely knowledgeable about the areas of the city we were interested in - what a relief! What I loved the most about Lisa was her no-nonsense attitude about the houses we were exploring. As first time home buyers, there were many things we didn't know - not only was she great at teaching us, but we had fun in the process.

Disclaimer - I used to work at the same real estate company as Lisa Marie and have known her for years. With that said, when it came time for me to purchase my first home, she was the first agent I reached out to because I knew she was one of the best agents within the market. Despite being a seller's market she was still able to negotiate a solid deal for me with great closing and repair concessions.

Lisa Marie worked with us extensively as we searched for our home in the first half of 2015. We were unsure what we wanted and Lisa Marie remained patient the whole search, while offering her professional opinion as we evaluated properties. She is has in-depth knowledge of intown neighborhoods, and is also an interior designer and thus capable of picturing possibilities for design and structural changes that may not be obvious. She negotiated well on our behalf and remained professional throughout. We have referred Lisa Marie to several friends and will work with her again.

Lisa was a fantastic realtor for my wife and I. This was our first house and Lisa lead us through the process easily. She has a ton of local knowledge about where neighborhoods are headed where they have been and helping to find what was right for us. Once we found a house Lisa was fantastic at helping negotiate a great deal for us and making sure we got what we asked for, she was very much in our corner and was definitely a huge asset to our team. I've already suggested Lisa to several friends and would highly suggest that anyone work with her.

Lisa Marie Smith has been my realtor since 2005 through several real estate transactions. To date I have recommended her to 5 friends and colleagues that have all made use of her expertise and professionalism in the local in-town Atlanta market. They have all recommended her to an unknown number of clients as well for good reason, there is no one else I am aware of that is better suited to be your agent in this area. If you want an agent who can think outside the box, not pressure you into a bad situation and make the process fun and efficient she's your choice.

I can't say enough about Lisa Marie but what I will mention is my favorite thing about her - when she shows you a house, it's as if she's buying it and not you. If it's not good enough for Lisa then it's not good enough for her client. If the house is crap, she's the first person to say it. Lisa Marie would never let one of her clients purchase a house she wouldn't purchase herself and I can't say every realtor in Atlanta is like that - she looks out for you like no other. She could have sold us a terrible house just to turn and burn us as clients but that's just not what she's about. There's so much value in having her in your corner. She fought for us till the very end. AND she's got an adorable personality to boot. I just adored our time spent with Lisa and know you will too.
