Elise was an outstanding realtor from start to finish. She was patient, informative, honest and beyond attentive throughout my long search (1.5 years!). At first, I was overwhelmed by the process of buying a home, but as time went by and Elise stood by my side as a solid and reliable consultant, I grew confident and self-assured. Elise helped me navigate each part of the process and was vital in translating all of the unfamiliar language - she pointed important things out and knew exactly what to focus on. She unquestionably understands the market in the Columbia River Gorge and was often able to advise based on location (town/state/county/rural etc.). Her familiarity with the entire process was invaluable to me. I never once felt like Elise was trying to sell me on a house or pressure me to buy. If something was funky or off, she acknowledged it immediately. If I was apprehensive or needed time to think, she understood. She was unwaveringly honest and genuine, which are two of the most important features of a teammate. And Elise was exactly that: a teammate of mine in my home buying process. I trust her and that is the most important quality of all. I highly recommend Elise to anyone who wants to buy or sell in the Columbia River Gorge.
