Verified I was completely satisfied with Elise’s services in handling my transaction. Her out of the blue phone follow up came at an opportune moment, and I decided to work with her in finding a home. Two HUGE reasons that her service stand out over others. She said exactly what a buyer needs to hear in a seller’s market. I recall that the first call I made to her was to see a house…her response? ‘I’m on the way!’ When I called to say I see a house that I would like to make an offer on, her response was ‘I’m on it!’ That’s what a buyer wants to hear…she cuts to the chase. Don't call her if you don't mean it…she aims to get this done. Now, full disclosure…I am a real estate sales trainer from another state, so this is big. These are her strengths…they will serve you well.Verified We used Elise to list our home of 20 years in Peoria AZ. We were treated with the respect we deserved as we loved the home we raised our family in. Elise is knowledgeable about the area and the current market and was spot-on for the listing price. Her team was helpful in preparing the home for the market and therefore sold quickly. We felt that her negotiating skills were very good as she was dealing with multiple offers and sometimes difficult personalities. We recommended Elise to a family member who used her to purchase a home in the PHX area. They also had a positive experience with Elise & her team.Verified Elise is great. She is hard working, diligent, and very knowledgeable. She helped us purchase our first home after months of searching and navigating a difficult market. She connected us with a great loan officer and home inspector. We felt confident that she represented us well and was always in tune with our needs.Verified We didn’t think that it would be very easy (maybe not possible at all) to buy a house in this market. We wanted to find a real estate agent that was a seasoned negotiator and Elise was recommended to us. Elise made it possible for us to find a house that fit all of our criteria! We did get outbid on the first house we found and it helped my husband and I understand how the buyers have to make decisions very quickly. She was diligent about going out to see houses as soon as they were listed so they were not lost to the fast buying process. Finally, another home with exactly the same floorplan in the same neighborhood (as the one we were outbid on) came up and Elise helped us move quickly with negotiations. It is very important that anyone I do business with responds to messages/phone calls. Elise always responded right away even if it was to give us an ETA on when she could get back to us. We knew she was busy and working with other buyers & sellers but we never felt like we were left without communication. I cannot stress how important this is for me since buying a house is a huge financial decision that must be made very quickly (in this market). Elise was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process!Verified Elise Fay is very knowledgeable and is determined to get her clients the very best deal and she delivers! She is always available and makes the process smooth and easy. Her customer service is impeccable and goes above and beyond. The current market is a tough one, Elise on several occasions went to properties I was interested in and took photos and videos and emailed to me while I was at work. In addition, she has a lot contacts for other services. Anyone that knows her, speaks highly of her.Verified Elise was amazing. All the recommendations she gave to help sell our house were spot on and helped our house sell in less that a week! We could not have done it without her!Verified Elise has been a pleasure and a joy to work with. She was extremely knowledgable about neighborhoods and what would suit me. As a single woman buying my first house on my own, she was able to guide me through the process. Elise was able to set me up with flooring specilists and painters who were able to start the day after my closing so that I could complete renovations quickly before I moved in. Elise's guidance helped me to make this important step on my own.Verified We were completely satisfied with everything . Our Agent Elise Fay was very dedicated to our specific needs in finding our Home . Any questions / concerns were responded to in a timely manner . Elise Fay , is kind , caring and works hard , so that … We didn’t have too …. Worry bout a thing “ Elise Fay is very knowledgeable and very professional and we are more than happy in our new home “ Thank you Elise Fay Your Awesome “Verified I have been involved in a few Real Estate transactions in the northwest valley & Elise’s experience and local knowledge clearly sets her apart from others. I would use Elsie’s again and I highly recommend Elise for your Real Estate needs.Verified Elise was great and was able to get us multiple offers well over our asking price. Elise was very helpful and always available. I would highly recommend Elise to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.
