Elise Kaynor
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.
