Elise Kaynor

I met Elise at the beginning of a new life chapter. This involved the sale of my home where many memories were built. It is difficult accurately capturing, in words, what it was like erasing my children’s memories from the place we love so that others may find appealing. In that sanitizing our home from our loved memories, we (wife, children, and I) often had to simply sit there and cry to collect ourselves in order to get the house ready for it to sell. It too was a stressful morning the day we turned that front door key for the very last time as we sat in our vehicle, as it idled, staring at our home as one last good-bye. From the flooring to the chandeliers, and everything in between, the house was filled with love and was filled with my family's uniqueness. The backyard is where my daughter learned to ride her bike and where we shared many barbecues. We started many family traditions in that home. Elise was far more than a realtor because she helped us cope with this emotional ache of letting our home go. During that journey, we cycled in and out of anger, frustration, and a slight depression. If you want a real-estate agent, dial any number. But, if you want someone who will empathize with you, fight for you, and advocate for your dignity choose Elise. Never once did we feel like it was a business transaction with Elise. We felt like we were cared for during a tough time while we had to turn the page on an emotional chapter of our lives. Elise will go above and beyond in that moment where you may feel completely vulnerable as you are filled with emotions while also trying to protect your children from the loss of a home that they too loved. Yours, and your families, dignity will be taken care of if she represents you. Additionally, you can rest assured that she too will promote your autonomy as all decisions will be yours and not forced upon you through the abuse of your obliviousness form not being a realtor.

I want to start out by saying that without Elise to guide us along and help us navigate, we would have given up and missed out on what has ended up being a better first home purchase than we could have imagined. Every step of the way, she was ready to go, even when we weren't feeling confident. In 2025 we tried to buy a home with Elise but it simply wasn't going to work out at the time. Half a year later and Elise sought us out to feel the water and see if we were ready. From the beginning she didn't give up on us. This list is not exhaustive, but Elise is tenacious, intelligent, thorough, and most importantly, patient. Her readiness to hunt down the right home didn't translate into pressure to buy the first thing that popped up. Thanks to Elise, we scored a great rate, with an asking price nearly 10% below the list price. The seller's agent fumbled appraising the value of the home and Elise caught his mistake from the get go. She suggested what she thought the home would appraise at (100% accurate to the dollar in the end) and the contract negotiation fell wildly in our favor when she was proven correct. Our financing process was an absolute nightmare. The appraiser and lender made multiple mistakes despite multiple attempts at correcting and completing the underwriting process. Elise was on top of them, willing to advocate and escalate on our behalf, making sure that we were taken care of as buyers. Emails and phone calls being made before the sun was up and after it went down, for us. This is all to say that Elise is fantastic. We couldn't have ended up in a better spot.

I have used Elise for several real estate purchases and sales. Their are several agents out these who know what they are doing. The difference with Elise is that she goes the extra mile and she actually cares. Very rare in this market. And she makes me laugh!

Elise is professional and was intuitive about guiding us in the right direction based on our priorities. She always responded promptly to any concerns or questions we had about our VA loan, making our home buying experience seamless. We would highly recommend Elise to friends and family.

Elise was very helpful during our home buying process, she was everything we were looking for in a realtor. She has done a wonderful job of getting my family and I into a new home with no hassle.
