Featured Testimonial
by Dan & Emily
Lisa Wenzel was recommended to us by a friend of a friend. I cannot state enough how glad I am that we chose Lisa to help us find our first home. She is such a personable, friendly, and warm person who has such an enthusiasm for and is so dedicated to her profession and it shows in everything that she does. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone that I meet! Lisa was extremely knowledgeable about the entire home buying process, which was incredibly important to us as we were first time homebuyers. She made the process less stressful and helped us every step of the way, and was so understanding of our multitude of questions and very prompt in answering them to the absolute best of her abilities. In fact, everyone that we worked with at Wenzel Select Properties was very friendly, professional, and, most importantly, very prompt with all communications. I cannot say it enough, but Lisa Wenzel with Wenzel Select Properties is the absolute best realtor to work with, period.
