Cutler Real Estate asked Lise a few questions so you can get to know her better, and here are Lise's replies.

1. What is your professional/educational background?

I was raised in Magnolia and attended Sandy Valley Schools. I then graduated from The University of Akron with an Associate Degree. After getting married in 1980, I moved to Stow and began working in Personnel at The University of Akron for 7 years and then an Office Manager at Colonial Machine in Kent, OH, In 1992, I returned to the Sandy Valley Area to raise my children. I became a real estate agent in 2000 and was licensed with Realty One who was then purchased by Howard Hanna in 2008.

2. Why did you choose a career in real estate?

I have always loved looking at homes and following the real estate market. After selling a few homes and working with realtors, I decided to make the jump and give up my full-time job and go into real estate full time. I have been a full-time agent for the past 19 years and have been blessed to work with many wonderful people and help them achieve their real estate needs. Although it was scary to give up a full-time job, it was the best decision I've ever made.

3. What area do you live in currently and what do you like about where you live?

I live in Magnolia with my husband, Mike. We moved to Magnolia after living in Stow 13 years. We enjoyed the Stow area but felt that we wanted to raise our two children in the same environment in which I had been raised. I also had my parents and sister and her family living in Magnolia. Magnolia is a small-knit community which is a part of the Sandy Valley School District. We felt smaller schools would be more beneficial to our children. In hindsight, it was the best thing we have done for our children as they received very good educations and were able to participate in many extracurricular activities and sports, being in a smaller district. The children have moved on but Magnolia is still a wonderful place to call home.

4. How do you spend your free time?

I enjoy socializing with friends. From Spring through Fall, I spend most weekends at Atwood Lake Campgrounds in our permanent camper.

5. If you could only keep 5 possessions what would they be?

My home in Magnolia
My cell phone
My 3 dogs
My camper
My computer

6. In one word, how do you think your friends/family would describe you?

fun-loving

Lise is very knowledgeable about the market and our local area. She lead this experience for me in a way that I felt completely safe and represented. Her organizational skills are some of the best I've ever witnessed. I am actually a repeat customer as Lise sold and bought my parents previous home. I was only along for the ride, but I knew I had to have Lise for this sale when the time came to sell my parents home. She handled the purchase of my new home as well, and the closings on both houses were simultaneous and flawless. Her network of resources was invaluable. She had a contact for every issue that arose. She even picked up a paint brush and helped me get my loan over the finish line. There is nothing Lise wouldn't do for me or the purchse of my house. She displays total dedication to anything she signs up for. Her people skills when handlng vendors were fantastic. I consider myself lucky that Lise was my realtor and now I consider her my dear friend.

We had a great experience with Lise. I didn't know anyone that recently bought a house, so I found Lise in a search for agents in the Dover/New Philly area. She recommended a lender to us and helped us move through the buying process quickly, which we needed. She was always just a text away with any questions we needed answered. We had some very productive conversations with her, and eventually closed on a house. We are grateful to have worked with Lise in our home-buying process.
