  Lisa Schulkin is absolutely, without a doubt, THE BEST real estate agent and I highly recommend her for a multitude of reasons. A few years ago, Lisa sold my father’s property within a week for top dollar and a cash offer!! She turned a very stressful situation into a wonderful positive experience through her efficient and effective work process, outstanding communication and personalized approach. Last month, Lisa was also invaluable in buying my beautiful house by providing exceptional market knowledge and trends while demonstrating genuine care and support. Lisa Schulkin is the ultimate professional and extremely reliable. I truly felt that I had the most phenomenal realtor and person guiding me through the entire purchasing process. Lisa is an A+ and the top choice!!

  We hired Lisa Schulkin to sell our Lake Forest home, and it was a fantastic decision. Lisa clearly has a deep understanding of the North Shore real estate market; and in my opinion, she is the number one broker in the area. We met months before listing to develop a comprehensive strategy for both timing and marketing. Thanks to her expertise, guidance and commitment to many showings over the course of a long weekend, we received multiple offers. Lisa carefully prepared a detailed spreadsheet to compare the nuances of each bid, helping us secure top dollar with excellent terms—including a post-close possession that was incredibly helpful for our transition. She was always available to answer questions, provide us names of other professionals that would be useful during our sale and was always ready to go above and beyond, even watering our lawn and flowers after we moved out. Lisa is truly second to none and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch North Shore agent.

  We worked with Lisa to sell our home and purchase a new condo in Highland Park, and the experience was truly top-notch. She is a standout professional and, in our opinion, the number one broker in Highland Park and the North Shore. Lisa knew exactly how to get our house show-ready and kept us informed every step of the way. When major inspection issues arose while we were out of town, Lisa didn't miss a beat; she immediately coordinated professionals, secured quotes, and managed repairs to keep our closing on track. Her ability to stay calm under pressure was invaluable. She was equally impressive on the buying side, offering honest insights into each property with a keen eye for resale value and a deep understanding of the North Shore Market. We highly recommend Lisa—she is simply the best.

  Lisa is the best ! She is currently our real estate agent helping us look for a ranch in the northern suburbs. Though there isn’t a lot of inventory Lisa is always sending us any new properties that come on the market. She is always willing to show us properties whenever it’s convenient for us. Lisa was also my daughter’s real estate agent when she bought her house in Deerfield last year. There was very little inventory available but Lisa would always let my daughter know when something new was coming on the market. Not only would she get them into houses as they came on, but she guided them on how to buy in this complicated market. There were many offers on the table for the property my daughter bid on and of all the offers my daughters bid was chosen due to Lisa’s knowledge of how to make a great offer and her ability to negotiate. I completely would refer Lisa as an agent to anyone I know.

  Lisa did an excellent job representing us on our purchase of our new home in Highland Park and the sale of our house in Buffalo Grove. Throughout the process she demonstrated her knowledge, tenacity and problem solving skills. Lisa really went above and beyond in the purchase of our new home in HP. Due to the age of the home Lisa insisted that we have the sewer line inspected, which showed it needed to be replaced. Lisa and our attorney then negotiated that closing be delayed until the work was complete, with the seller bearing the cost which was substantial. Lisa then spent many hours working with the contractor and the City to facilitate the complex and protracted sewer line permitting process. This would normally be the homeowners responsibility, but since the seller had moved overseas Lisa took on this time consuming task. Then 5 months after going under the contract we discovered the basement had flooded when doing the pre-closing walk through. Lisa then spent hours working with the plumber, the inspector and other tradespeople to identify the source of the leak. It turned out drain tile was needed with the seller paying the majority of the cost as negotiated by Lisa and our attorney. After 6 months we finally closed and we are now happily living in our dream house thanks to Lisa's skill, persistence and hard work. Lisa was also effective in marketing our home in Buffalo Grove, where we realized one of the highest sales prices in the area within days of going on the market.Throughout the process we always felt Lisa had our best interest at heart and we recommend her without reservation.
