Testimonials
Our experience with Lisa and Bill Thompson has been stellar. From day one of approaching Lisa and Bill to evaluate the idea of selling our property, we felt we can fully trust them. They are very experienced and very diligent. More importantly we never felt pressured to proceed with any decisions. In contrary, Lisa and Bill have been our most trust advisors. They made many critical suggestions that were very impactful in selling our property for the premium price that it deserves. Our property was not the typical property in our neighborhood because of the extent of upgrades we had made to it and yet Lisa and Bill were able to generate an impressive number of written offers that were much higher than our listing price. The Thompsons were always reachable 24 hrs a day and always delivered over and above. Not only this, but on the buy side, they have also managed to find us our dream home! We recommend Lisa and Bill unequivocally!

Words really cannot express how fortunate we feel to have worked with Lisa and Bill Thompson on the sale of our home. But for those who just want a few words, here are the ones we'd use to describe them: Lisa and Bill are the most strategic, discerning, smart, knowledgeable, humbly confident, go-getting, dedicated, meticulous, hard-working, ethical, professional, and savvy realtors we've ever worked with or known. And they're also just downright nice and good people. Highlights: --They do their homework. They are exceedingly knowledgeable about the real estate market and the microclimate of the neighborhoods they work in. --They were realistic but not afraid of the unstable and downward-trending market we were selling in. They knew how to price our home, and they were shrewd and strategic yet honest and ethical negotiators. After just a few days on the market, they scored us a sale price beyond our wildest expectations. --They are knowledgable and strategic about home improvement recommendations. They know which ones will make money and which ones aren't worth doing. We followed all of their advice, and it paid off big time. --They made everything easy and stress-free. They coordinated all quotes and home improvements and inspected all completed work to be sure it was done to perfection. They even helped us with our relocation options and coordinated long-distance moving quotes. We moved 450 miles away, and we just handed Lisa and Bill our house keys and relaxed while they took over. We don't feel that there are many people we could have trusted to take care of every detail and solve every problem with integrity and to absolute perfection while we were so far away from our home. (Trust us, problems can arise--and there is nobody more trustworthy and meticulous than Lisa and Bill to solve them.) Lisa and Bill really rise above all expectations and are in a league of their own. We are so grateful to them for all the extras, and for caring for our home (and our investment) as if it were their own. And to top it off they are just lovely, nice, good people to work with.

Me and my husband met Lisa and Bill 2 years ago. We have been following their sales ever since. The first thing that we noticed about them was their commitment and passion towards their work. We were impressed with their attention to detail and local market expertise. They were our top choice when we decided to sell our house during the uncertain period of COVID. They communicated the timeline and costs associated in getting our house to market in an honest and detailed manner. They worked with our tenants to get everything organized. And executed the plan with meticulousness. Our house transformed into one of the most visited and liked homes from the time it went to market. They organized many showings of our house through the challenges of COVID and got us multiple offers. Through their exemplary negotiation skills, we were able to close the sale with a very good price that exceeded our expectations. Throughout this process, Lisa and Bill were very patient, thoughtful and professional. We are very thankful to have Lisa and Bill as our trustworthy partners who made our home selling experience an enjoyable one.

Bill and Lisa Thompson were impeccable in their representation and sale of our home. We knew they were a winning team as we had watched their homes list and sell quicker and for much higher sales prices than other realtors in our neighborhood. Their expertise and reputation was enough to convince us . . . and then we got a chance to see them in action! Our home listed just days in to the COVID-19 outbreak, the beginnings of what could be a disaster for selling a home. We had planned this out for a year, with our move out dates and listing already set we had just started prepping the home for sale when the stock market crashed. Bill and Lisa’s experience, relationships and connections were now critical to our success. We were encourage the whole way, they worked hard, stuck to their plan and listed on schedule. Not only did they deliver in bringing in the strongest buyers, they also took every precaution to insure the financing was solid. We closed escrow today having sold well over asking, in 22 days to the most incredible couple. I want to say it was a total miracle, however I know how hard Bill and Lisa worked behind the scenes to make it happen. Despite our fever pitch fear and worry, they came through like champs. I cannot recommend them any higher!

My wife and I are new to the Bay area out of our element with a new housing market. Lisa and Bill brought years of local expertise to the table and helped us get the lay of the land. After some searching they helped us find a home that worked with our commutes for our jobs and negotiate a reasonable price for the area. Every step of the way they were insightful and responsive. Would highly recommend them for you if you are looking to buy or sell in the bay area!

Bill and Lisa have a great pulse of the market and especially microclimate scenarios. We bought a house through them in a locality that they've got tremendous experience selling in and that helped a lot to win the bid. We wanted to get some remodelling done and they were able to walk us through approx estimates before we actually bought the place so that helped us make a decision too. Great folks to work with!

We were fortunate to have a Real Estate Agent like Bill, who was on our side all the time. It took us some time to find our dream home, and throughout he was with us patiently helping out with the listings and pros and cons of every house/location. He had been very resourceful in working with his network to show us the houses before others and finally closing the deal. He has been thorough in explaining the process from our first meeting to the last day of closing, painstakingly guiding us through multiple disclosures in between. When our bank changed the loan terms due to COVID, he quickly introduced us to the other lender to not only get the loan at great terms but also a great interest rate. Did I say that he went over and beyond, guiding us and making introductions for the contractors to do small repairs and paintwork!! Bill, you really rock, and you do mean every word when you say about giving total customer service.

"Before we met Lisa we knew we wanted to sell our home of 30 years. We didn't know where to start and because we had been burned by agents in the past, we were wary of them all. We called Lisa Thompson because she sold two houses in our neighborhood with lightening speed. We knew our home would be a real challenge to sell because it was on a busier street and needed a lot of work that we couldn't begin to afford. We met with Lisa and and told her why we wanted to sell but also how distrustful we were of real estate agents. She showed empathy, true dismay for her profession and promised that she wouldn't let us down, would get top dollar for our home and would "hold our hands" the whole way.
"She showed us how to fix our house to sell for the best price with no upfront money out of pocket. She had plans to improve the "sell-ability" of our house that were clear while showing respect for us and the home we had decorated. She even cared for us when our dog was hit by a car during the initial stage of readying our home and took all the burden off of us so we could care for our recovering pup.
"The result of our faith in Lisa? She sold our home before it even went to market, with no improvements and got us way more for it than we could have hoped for in our wildest dreams. She called herself a full service agent. We call her a full service angel."

"Lisa was God sent! She went above and beyond for me and my two kids in our home buying process. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor agent who has the proper balance of knowledge, positive energy, assertiveness, good heart and team to back her up."

This was our first home purchase and Bill has taken time for plenty of discussion so that he could fully understand what kind of home we were looking for. He was always available for many questions we had and would always respond back in a timely manner. Any uncertainties or hiccups were quickly resolved. We appreciated his expertise and guidance in finding our home and would certainly recommend Bill Thompson.

"Lisa sold our home in the Carlton Ave area of 95124 for many $$$ over the asking price. She went out of her way by not only providing real estate advice, but also marketing the home aggressively. Lisa has an entire team of contacts from the local area who provide all of your needs from landscaping to contracting so that your house is in the best shape for the market."

There is excellent service but then there's Lisa and Bill Thompson service which is at a different level above that. We had a very difficult personal financial situation and the sale of our house was compounded by the restrictions of shelter-in-place coronavirus. Lisa (and Bill) came up with a clear plan, communicated and shared with us her thoughts how to optimize our sales price, and executed on that plan quickly. We felt that Lisa always had our best interest in mind every step of the way. Lisa (and Bill) worked so hard to cover all the details of a complex sale. Her results speak for themselves, ie. Sold our house in less than 10 days with multiple offers, many over asking. We couldn't have worked with anyone better.

Bill and his wife Lisa Thompson, recently helped my husband and I sell our condo and purchase our latest home within 3 months! Buying & selling a home is always stressful, however, Bill made us feel truly at ease throughout the entire process. We truly appreciated how well Bill listened to our concerns and offered heartfelt, candid advice. We never felt pushed into anything and he always made sure we felt comfortable. This was incredibly important to us and we really appreciated his guidance and patience. He was also very quick to respond to any of our questions, day or night and even while on vacation! One concern we initially had, was buying a house where he was both the buying and selling agent. It ended up being the perfect scenario. It was the dream home we were looking for and he was able to show us the place before it went on the market. He really went to bat for us with the homeowners. It felt like a fair and aboveboard deal. I would highly recommend both Lisa and Bill and trust their judgment. We got the house of our dreams and never would’ve considered it as an option until they presented it to us.

Lisa and her husband Bill Thompson, helped my husband and I sell our condo and purchase our latest home within a matter of 3 months! They were absolutely wonderful to work with. She was incredibly patient with every question we had, very knowledgable of the South Bay area, and has a way of making things happen. She was very quick to provide any information that we were looking for, even while on vacation. Whether it was about a property’s disclosures, comparables or loan questions we had, she was there for us. She really made us feel like we were her only clients. Something else we really appreciated about her is how forthcoming she was on different properties and any discrepancies they had and how and why that affected the price. With her insights, we were able to navigate the market with relative ease. There will always be a certain amount of stress in buying & selling a home, however, she makes it her job to make it as easy as possible. At the time of purchasing our house, the “Shelter in Place” policy happened and we feared the worst that our loan and appraisals wouldn’t go through in time. Through sheer will power and push on Lisa’s end, she bumped up the entire process and we closed in under 3 weeks! We couldn’t believe our luck and how fortunate we were to have Lisa & Bill to push everything through seamlessly. I would highly recommend both Lisa and Bill and trust their judgment. We got the house of our dreams and never would’ve considered it as an option until they presented it to us.

Bill and Lisa helped us listing and selling our condo, and made it happen in the worst market we could have possibly been into. So grateful for all their help, guidance and patience. Never pushed us to do something we were not confident with, gave us the best recommendations at times when emotions as seller kick in. They are amazing and we could have not chosen a better agent for this. For sure they won my business for the next transactions and would recommend them to all my friends.
Gab
Bill recently sold our home. He negotiated a sale well over our asking price! He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was nothing but pleasant. He is professional, conscientious and really understands the San Jose market. To top it off, he’s a super nice guy. Bill is an excellent realtor. Hire him..you won’t be sorry!

Lisa listed and sold a condo for us this summer. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. She and her team put in many hours behind the scenes. We think she wears out her cell phone battery making sure her clients' best interests are being met. Lisa and Bill made it happen big time with minimal work on our part. Everything, to the smallest detail, was well covered by Lisa and her team. We are still in disbelief of how well everything went; Lisa comes with a wonderful team of talent. We have been giving rave reviews to our friends and family and recommending Lisa to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. We would use her again without a second thought.
Sold a Condo in San Jose
"My wife and I are so appreciative of Lisa's wonderful support in the selling of our home in the Cambrian area in San Jose, CA. It was scary at first to let a real estate agent tell us how she had to change things in order to get top dollar for our property. But once we let go and let her perform her “make-over†magic, she was so awesome! We just had to trust what items that she said needed to be done to sell our home, the one my wife lived in all her life. Lisa came in with her vendors and got things DONE! We were able to sell our house in ONE day after being on the market with two back up buyers to boot and sold our home for over $56,000 over the asking price. Now that's an agent that truly has the sellers in mind. She literally did everything including coordinating and organizing our move to Arizona and finding a realtor in Arizona for the purchase of our new home. She did a fantastic job and kept us informed along the way. We have found a new friend and would highly recommend Lisa to whomever is looking for a professional, strong negotiator to handle their biggest investment of their life! Thanks."

Lisa sold our Condo in less then week after it was put on the market, and at a price we didn’t dream of getting! We wanted our Condo sold quickly, Lisa was confident with the asking price, which was a very difficult decision in this current market. Lisa far exceeded our expectations, she got us more then we expected! On a side note she found us our buyer whom is also a realtor. Lisa only has one goal in mind from the beginning to get us the price we were after. We followed her recommendations with the list price and with every other step throughout the sale process, and it all paid off. Lisa and Bill have a successful proven plan from start to finish and they execute to perfection! They take care of and arrange everything from start to finish! They source and book all Contractors, Painters, Cleaners and Stagers....all of it. Which is so important in reducing stress for the seller during this process. Lisa and Bill are wonderful..very personable, very knowledgeable and most of all they get the job done quick! We couldn’t recommend them more! please take the time to checkout their results meet them in person before you make your final decision on your next sale!
