Words cannot express how incredibly grateful I am to Lisa Wenzel and Wenzel Select Properties for finding my perfect forever home. When Lisa and I went out to look at the properties that I wanted to see, she educated me on the “do's and dont's” of purchasing a home. Lisa has the ability to see a home and its potential, which was very helpful and important to me because I don’t possess that quality. She was so thorough and knowledgeable that I knew I was in good hands. She told me that she would never let her clients buy a property that she, herself, would not buy. When we walked into my new home, we both knew that it was the one! I was probably one of Wenzel Select Properties’ most high maintenance clients because I had a horrible real estate experience in the past so I was very nervous. Lisa explained everything to me and answered all of my millions of questions right away. She helped me find a mortgage company, home inspector, attorney and handyman, whom I was very pleased with and had reasonable pricing. Lisa went above and beyond the call of duty. She was there when I needed her and she helped me to remain calm when I needed it. I have so much respect for Lisa Wenzel and Wenzel Select Properties and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is buying or selling a home. Thank you for my Home Sweet Home!
