Brown Harris Stevens

Lisa has always had an eye and special appreciation for housing, design, and architecture.

Born and raised in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, she graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. In 1990, Lisa settled in the Montclair area, where she bought her first home, got married, raised her family, and has lived for the past 30 years.

She worked in corporate America for 16 years as a top-performing high tech sales professional. She attributes her success in this highly competitive market to her strong organizational, customer relations, and solution-selling skills. This background equips her with the skills needed to successfully meet clients’ real estate needs.

Lisa took some time off to raise her two daughters, who both graduated from St. Cassian Elementary School in Upper Montclair and are now attending Mount Saint Dominic Academy in Caldwell. Throughout her time in the area, Lisa has been active in the community and volunteered for many organizations she is passionate about, including being the President of St. Cassian School Foundation.

Lisa looks forward to applying her background, corporate experience, and broad community network to her passion for real estate.

"Thank you Lisa! I know I speak for everyone for how grateful and appreciative we are of you and how thankful we are to have had you as our agent. Your patience, support, care, and diligence is something we will always hold dear and we can't thank you enough for all that you've done." - Justin B

"Thank you so much for everything that you did for us. You are exemplary as an agent as as a person." - Dennis B

"I was so concerned about working with a realtor, but Lisa made it fun and easy and she is beyond lovely to work with. If you live near Montclair or in Essex County, I couldn't recommend anyone more!" – Jessica B.

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.
