Lisa was spectacular!



As a first-time homebuyer, I was concerned that the process would be difficult to navigate. But fortunately, I found Lisa and she made it feel easy. She listened to what I wanted and knew exactly what to look for. I always felt that she was personally involved and truly cared about finding the perfect home for me. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to find a home in under one month.



During the closing process, she laid everything out clearly for me. She told me exactly what needed to get done, provided me with recommendations of quality professionals, gave me helpful reminders and advice, and was always reachable whenever I needed her. Thanks to the efforts of her and the people she recommended to me, we were able to close smoothly and quickly in 30 days.



The extent to which Lisa went above and beyond cannot be overstated. A true professional, she was trustworthy and dependable. She was an invaluable member of my team. I could not have asked for anything more in a realtor.

“When we set out to relocate from Michigan to New Jersey in 2022 summer, Lisa Schmey was recommended to us. Lisa was quick, courteous and very helpful. Due to the high demand and housing market crisis this year, we initially encountered a few rejections, but Lisa went above and beyond for us. She knew our taste, needs, and the kind of dream house we wanted, and she never stopped searching and negotiating with house owners and agents on our behalf until she was able to get our contract signed and sealed. She always took or returned calls and answered every question that we had. We cannot say enough great things about Lisa as she's certainly the BEST!” - Praise and Doyin K.

Lisa did an excellent job of helping us to prepare our home for sale and marketing it in the most positive light. She was a true professional, detail oriented and on top of things during the entire sales process. I would absolutely recommend trusting Lisa with the sale of your home or for any real estate transaction.

Excellent just excellent on so many levels. I had a certain criteria that needed to be met. I'm particular, I like what I like. We had a short journey with some ups and downs in the craziest market I ever seen. I have some experience in real estate this is my 4th private home and if can believe it I bought under asking price not a typo. If you want the best, you want Lisa...

Lisa helped us find the perfect apartment that met our needs in the competitive area of Montclair/Glen Ridge. She really listened to what we were looking for and helped us narrow down to the best option. The whole process was seamless and she was always available to answer any questions we had. Would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a perfect fit!

Lisa was a recommendation from a neighbor and I could not have been more pleased with Lisa's professionalism, responsiveness and willing to help wherever necessary to get the job done. I had an apartment to rent and it took a little longer than we expected, but Lisa stuck with it till we had the right tenant, and so far coming up on 8 months it is the perfect fit. I have paid it forward and recommended Lisa to friends who were looking to purchase a home, and they successfully closed on their first home last week. I will definitely be recommending Lisa to anyone needing a realtor.

As a landlord, I've used several realtors over the year to rent out my units. Lisa is by far the best and easiest to work with. I used her after another realtor failed to rent out a unit. Lisa rented the unit in record time and found me great tenants. Lisa is understanding, realistic and honest to the core and knows how to read people. I highly recommend Lisa for all your real estate needs.

Lisa did an amazing job at steering us through the home buying process. She is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. She really listens to your requests and items you’re looking for and tailors your search with those items in mind. 100% recommend working with her!
- Juliana C.

Lisa was outstanding. She's super patient, really listens and we could tell she was really rooting for us to get the right home. As first time buyers, having her was invaluable. Even years later, we have reached out to her for tips or suggestions for home needs. For example, when decided on a renovation, we reached out to Lisa for advice and she connected us with an architect to help plan. She's so helpful!

Lisa is incredible! It’s hard to find a realtor who you can trust and is truly looking out for your best interests. Lisa is that realtor. As a first time homebuyer in his mid 20’s, I was in need of guidance. Lisa provided that and so much more. She is reliable, insightful, always reachable, and will give her best effort to find a home that’s perfect for you (just like she did for me)! Highly recommend!

I purchased a co-op in Montclair two years ago, and I truly would not be living in my beloved apartment today if it weren’t for Lisa B. Schmey. From the beginning, I fell in love with the apartment and made an offer, but once the process started, I was discouraged and rejected by the co-op board. I was ready to give up, but Lisa insisted I write a letter and not walk away from the place I loved so much. Without her encouragement, I never would have done it. Thanks to Lisa’s support and guidance, I wrote the letter, and for reasons I still don’t fully understand, the board changed its mind and approved me. I owe Lisa a great deal for helping me through this difficult process and for ensuring I ended up in the apartment I cherish every day. She is patient, dedicated, and truly cares about her clients. I can’t recommend her enough!

We had a great experience working with Lisa during a difficult and stressful time to buy a home. She was very positive to work with and helped us find a multitude of homes to choose from.

Lisa was on top of brand new listings and txt’d me immediately for a hot, rental property, which I toured with her, filed the application with her guidance, and signed a lease, all within a week!
