"Lisa Skumpija listed a lot for sale for me in Chapel Ridge near Pittsboro, NC in 2015. She actively marketed the lot and showed the lot several times to prospective buyers in 2015 and 2016. Thanks to her persistence and her impressive real estate knowledge, we received an offer on the property in November, 2016. The sale went through without any difficulties. I greatly appreciate Lisa's outstanding time and efforts in helping me sell the property. Based on my highly positive experience with Lisa, I highly recommend her to others."

"Lisa was easy to work with and always kept our best interest in mind when trying to sell our land. Land is not always the easiest to sell, but she stayed with us for the duration and helped us navigate through the turbulent times of real estate. She is well connected to the area and I highly recommend her."

"Lisa takes care of your every need as a buyer of real estate, like you are a close friend of the family. I have seen her try to help people who didn't even use her to purchase their land. She know so much more about how the process works because she helps her husband with his construction company. Nelu, owner of Absolute Construction, is just as nice and helpful as Lisa is. When you work with either one, you are working with a great knowledgeable team that is like family."

Donna T, Apex NC 

"Lisa was wonderful to work with. She worked hard to market out property, was very responsive to needs, questions, etc. She also was most helpful in locating trades people for various things that we needed to have done. Lisa was a delight to work with. Very accomplished professional realtor and a wonderful person as well. Highly recommend her. "

"Lisa was amazing, she learned what I liked and tried to help find homes that included those things. She was also a great negotiator when it came time to bid helping me get my cute new home. Furthermore, she kept me informed every step of the way always letting me know what I should expect. "

Lisa was great to work with and is very knowledgeable about the Chapel Ridge and Pittsboro area. She was able to supply contacts with several sub contractors to do the necessary repairs we needed. I would definitely recommend her to sell your home.

"Assertive, objective, honest and a real pleasure to work with. Lisa was determined to do things the right way and to see that our interests prevailed as appropriate. Her market knowledge is truly excellent. I'd call on Lisa again. She is the go to person for competent, fast and high-integrity real estate sales. She's a winner."

"Listened to what I needed and showed homes that would fit my lifestyle Helped me understand what I needed to do and what was going on when the buying process started. I am first time buyer so I got confused on some stuff and she helped me thru everything."

Lisa Skumpija is an excellent realtor. She served as a trusted advisor and remained consultative throughout the entire purchase process. Lisa knew our area very well and provided proactive input regarding location, fair property value and was instrumental in negotiating our final sale price. The level of service and professionalism we received far exceeded our expectations. I will recommend Lisa to my family and friends in the triangle area and hope to have an opportunity to work with her in the future.

Lisa was knowledgeable, helpful, and made a huge purchase of a home sight-unseen completely bearable with her professionalism and attention to detail. Lisa sent videos of multiple homes, scrutinized every detail knowing that that is what I was looking for, gave suggestions after consulting with professionals in the building industry, and lined up repairmen to immediately begin repairs on the home upon our arrival from out of state. She was a godsend. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone seeking a home in the RTP area.

“It has been a pleasure to work with Lisa Skumpija for the past 5+ years. Her knowledge of new construction is stellar – Her assistance is not only invaluable to clients navigating the building process; she has been an asset to the ICG Homes’ team as well. I recommend Lisa with no hesitation. She’s a fantastic real estate professional and individual!” – Ryan Perry, ICG Homes CEO

Lisa is an expert when it comes to listing your house, she provided all the guidance and expertise about the process and how to prepare your home to standout. Her extensive knowledge in new construction was also a significant benefit to us throughout the process. You will not find a better agent to put your trust in when selling your home.

"Working with Lisa as a first-time homebuyer made the process a lot easier. I had a friend who was buying a house at the same time as I, but they were constantly encountering problems with their realtor. Not only is Lisa more competent and professional, but she made me feel a lot confident about this big decision that I was making. She always responded quickly to my emails even when she was on vacation. I really appreciated her help!"

I have dealt with Lisa as a realtor many times, and I can say without exception that she is at the top of her game. It's not only her knowledge and expertise, which are excellent, but it is more than that - she goes above and beyond. Her level of engagement and attention to detail is unparalleled. She is available night and day (I swear I don't think she sleeps). She is the most diligent and competent realtor I have ever worked with. She makes the home buying experience so easy, and she will advocate for you tirelessly. Highly, highly recommend!

Kathie R. 

OUTSTANDING!!! A perfect word to describe Lisa and yet it still falls short.
My family and I relocated to the Pittsboro area last fall. After looking at over 20 homes and lots and speaking to multiple builders, nothing/no one felt "right". Then I happened upon one of Lisa's listings and I called her.

She spent over an hour on the phone with me asking me questions to better familiarize herself with what we were looking for and our needs. There was never any sense of pushiness from her. On the contrary, it felt like after a few short minutes, she knew EXACTLY what our likes/dislikes and tastes were. It was as if she had known us for years.

Long story, short, within a couple of weeks, Lisa helped us find the perfect lot in Chapel Ridge, helped us negotiate a phenomenal price for it, and we are well on our way to building our dream home!

In short, whether you are, like me, new to the area or looking for your dream home, Lisa's listening skills paired with her unmatched knowledge of the area, her honestly and integrity make her THE person to help make it happen

Thanks Lisa!!!

"Lisa is the consummate professional. She is extremely knowledgeable and attentive to all aspects of the listing and selling process. Lisa kept us informed every step of the way, providing wanted feedback and suggestions. I would 100% work with her again, and feel more than comfortable recommending her to others." 

- Renee, Pittsboro 

"Lisa was always available and always helpful, pleasant and kind. Due to the unusual piece of property we had to sell, it took time to find the right buyer but she wasn't discouraging. We would hire her again if we had property to buy or sell where she is located." Judith, Pittsboro 

"Lisa by far the best realtor we ever had. She took the stress out of selling and buying a home. Honestly coudnt have navigated the process without her. Thank you......Lisa!"

Joelle, Pittsboro NC 

"Preston and I often communicated on your perseverance and professionalism.  I was surprised you didn't give up on us because we were so slow in closing the deal.  You were patient and helped us find our perfect house.  We are so happy and have no second thoughts.  Thank you for helping us find our dream home."

"Lisa is an amazing agent.  She is thorough, attentive to details, and knows as much about home quality and construction as most builders (She is also partners with her husband in a new home construction company).  In addition, she always places her clients' interests first and does everything she can do to insure a home is a perfect fit!  She's a top notch negotiator!  I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate agent."

"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Lisa.  She was on top of things from start to finish and made the process as easy on me as it could be.  From her extensive real estate knowledge to her use of helpful tools like DocuSign and the excellent communication the process was as easy as signing on the dotted line! The best Realtor you will ever use, you can feel her passion for being the best and taking care of her clients."

"Great job! You were always very responsive and did a great job getting things done on time.  We are so glad we met you in the beginning of our process in looking to build or find a home.  Your knowledge as a builder's wife and being a real estate agent was a double plus. It was also beneficial that you lived in the area and knew it well so that you were able to show lots and homes. We were very happy with your professionalism in handling/working with sellers' agent. You couldn't have done it better Lisa and we appreciate you working to make this move painless!  BIG THANKS!!"

"You saved us a lot of money by having us come in with an offer below asking, but within reason.  Thank you for all your expertise and advice during the homebuyer process.  PS - Thank you for all the house warming items.  They were greatly appreciated."

 "My wife and I worked with Lisa on the construction of our new house in Wake County, and could not have been happier with the results! Moving to NC from out of state, Lisa was our ears on the ground here in NC. Lisa was personable, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the entire real estate purchasing process - from the moment we set foot in NC looking at various properties, through our ultimate selection of our construction lot, house contract process, guidance on interior house selections, and facilitation of the closing process. Lisa has a very reputable list of referrals including attorneys, insurance agents, and mortgage brokers that we took advantage of as well. I highly recommend working with Lisa!"

"In 2007, Lisa helped me purchase an investment townhouse in Durham, NC. I live in New Jersey. She did everything from finding the investment property for me to closing the sale of the townhouse. She is a definitely a dedicated Real Estate Agent and precise in everything she does. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for properties in NC."

"Thank you Lisa for finding such a great real estate investment for us.  We are very happy with the purchase.  Looking forward to our next investment in the near future."

"I more than enjoyed your company and time.  I know I wasn't an easy client, but I absolutely adore our new home.  I can't wait to get there!"

"You were very professional and gave us good advice.  You appeared very knowledgeable about real estate and building.  Most of all, you listened to what we wanted and seemed to really care about us.  We valued your expertise and value your friendship.  We did appreciate the open communication."

"Lisa - we loved working with you! The only sad part of our sale being over and finalized was that we were no longer working with you.  It's been great to hear from you."

"It was a very enjoyable and successful experience working with you.  We got the house we wanted which we would not have been able to do without your help.  We really appreciate you helping our daughter with all of the moving arrangements.  We could not have done it without you."

"We would like to give our strong endorsement to Lisa Skumpija for her organizational skills during our recent purchase of a 'spec' home in the Chapel Ridge subdivision.  Her constant availability and multi-faceted manner of communication saved us hours of travel time and possible misunderstandings with the builder.  She was available via email, fax and phone answering our questions and making recommendations when it was obvious that we needed a bit of direction."

"You did a great job helping us find and purchase our very 1st home.  Travis also did a great job while you were away.  We couldn't have done it without either of you!

Thank you!"

"You are a real fireball promoting the sales of houses and resales of lots in Chapel Ridge. In time you should be realizing strong results of your efforts. I appreciate your keeping me informed. Helen and I enjoyed meeting you in person last Saturday."

"We would recommend you to anyone!  We just hope we get a chance to.  Thanks for all your help Lisa!"

"Thank you for your openness, honesty, helpfulness and willingness to share your knowledge in this area. I am not used to getting help from someone in your field who is not ultimately asking "what's in it for me". It truly is refreshing dealing with you and it gives me a feeling of security that I'm being steered in the right direction."

"I just want to thank you so much for all your efforts - had it not been for you we would not be sitting here on this beautiful piece of property.  You have what it takes to get things done and are one of the nicest, caring people I have met.  Thank you again. P.S. You go way above and beyond the call of duty!"

"By far, Lisa is the best realtor I have ever had!  Lisa was so very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional.  My move was from out of state and she expedited all phases of the home buying process in order to help me in every way.  Furthermore, Lisa is wonderfully honest, yet so diplomatic and caring.  What a blessing!

Lisa lends a good name to the realty field!  Thank you Lisa!"

"It was great to work with Lisa - I couldn't have had a better experience! I highly recommend her to anyone purchasing a home in Chatham County.  She was extremely knowledgeable and was a great advocate on my behalf."

"I've known Lisa for a long time and she has helped me buy and sell properties in Chatham County. She is punctual, has thorough knowledge of the business and responds and resolves issues in no time with a win win situation. I recommend Lisa for any of your real estate needs in the whole Triangle area."

"She handled the sale of my property in NC efficiently and effectively while I remained in the comfort of my California home. Property was heavily marketed. Highly recommend Lisa!"

"Lisa impressed us from our first interview.  She is a high-energy hard worker who knows how to market your home.  Her knowledge of the market and where to find good prospects is unmatched and she has the grit and determination to follow through until the sale is finalized.  We were very pleased with Lisa and highly recommend her to people looking for a good real estate agent to sell their home. "

"Lisa was absolutely wonderful!! This was my first time selling a house so she was very thorough at explaining everything and walked me thru the whole process. She listed the house on a Friday and we sold it that Saturday while she was away for the weekend. It was someone from out of town so we were on a time constraint. Even while away for the weekend she drew up the contract and took care of everything so that we would get the signed contract that day. The following weeks leading up to closing she reminded me of every step that needed to be done along the way and even went to closing for me because I couldn't make it. Lisa is extremely hardworking and obviously very dedicated to her clients."

"Working with Lisa was so easy.  Selling a home is a very difficult process, but my experience was smooth and pain free.  Lisa and Sandy make a great team.  They work together very well and know their strengths.  My property sold in less than a week with countless showings and multiple offers.  I couldn't have asked for more!"

"Lisa is a hard worker and really tries hard to "get the job done."  She is thorough and knowledgeable.  I will use Lisa again in the future and strongly recommend her.   She really knows her stuff!"

"We have bought and sold properties with Lisa as our realtor and have been pleased with how we were advised and represented in every transaction.  Lisa is very good at focusing on what it takes to close deals without a lot of wasted motion.  She's very honest and professional and so if you follow her guidance and remain flexible she will produce excellent results and do so very efficiently and with a  high degree of integrity."

"Working with Lisa was a pleasure, more like time spent with a friend.  Lisa went beyond what one would expect from a realtor, helping with other aspects of home purchase including shopping and understanding the area you are moving into.  This knowledge was just as important as home purchase and helped greatly in our decision making.  We made our final decision based on all this knowledge."

"We loved working with Lisa.  It was a very easy process from start to finish.  We would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the greater Pittsboro area."

"At the North and South Carolina Regional 2011 Award Ceremony in Wilmington, NC, Realty World Carolina Properties broker Lisa Skumpija took home the first place award recognizing her as the top producing agent.  She took home an additional four awards for her transaction numbers and her work in residential sales. 

Nobody's name was called more than Lisa's.  We are very proud of her. She is proof positive that hard word pays off."

 

"Lisa Skumpija is an excellent Realtor.  She served as a trusted adviser and remained consultative throughout the entire purchase process.  Lisa knew our area very well and provided proactive input regarding location, fair property values and was instrumental in negotiating our final sale price.  The level of service and professionalism we received far exceeded our expectations. I recommend Lisa to my family and friends in the triangle and look forward to working with her again should we have a need in the future."

Lisa worked very hard to locate potential buyers for this property and was willing to make personal sacrifices to close the sale. Went over and beyond our original agreement to make this sale for me possible. Will recommend her with out reservation.

"Lisa is awesome to work with. She helped us sell our lot in Chapel Ridge and we will definitely use her again when we are ready to sell our home in Pittsboro and make our next purchase."

"My wife and I were truly pleased with the home selling experience, thanks to Lisa.  She made it a pleasant experience and got our home sold in less than three weeks.  We were in constant communication, and I knew exactly where we were in the process from the initial house showing, until the day we closed!  We will not use anyone but Lisa when we are ready to purchase our next home."

"Lisa helped us both sell and purchase a home, and was very helpful on both accounts.  We actually put an offer on one house, which had a few issues noted during the inspection.  My wife and I thought issues were relatively minor and were ready to proceed with the purchase.  Lisa contacted a number of experts for their opinion (one of which was her husband who is a builder), which they all independently determined we should terminate the contract because of potential for major problems in the near future.  I think there are a lot of realtors that would not have done so, and would have been happy to have us proceed and collect their commission.  Lisa has been very pleasant, responsive, and puts her clients' best interests before anything else.  We would strongly recommend her and will definitely work with her again."

"Lisa was so wonderful to work with... she is super responsive and a person who I not only felt comfortable with but could honestly trust.  Being that I know little to nothing about real estate it is so important to work with someone who knows so much and that you can heavily rely on.  She was awesome and I would recommend anyone to work with her in the future, including myself."

"Working with Lisa was great. Having someone I trusted, that really knew the local market was invaluable.  She always responded quickly to phone calls and e-mails, and she was able to answer all of my questions.  Most importantly, she helped me find a great home at a great price.  Lisa is very alert to the local market and was aware of the listing right away, so she was able to get me in to see it quickly.  She helped me prepare an offer right away and walked me through the whole process."

"Lisa is a thorough and highly trustworthy professional.  Not only knowledgeable and competent, she is personable and sets a high standard of customer service."
