“We met Lisa before we were really ready to buy, she still took time to help us understand the market and prepare for an eventual purchase. Her depth of knowledge and her integrity impressed us so much that it was an easy decision to engage Lisa when we were ready to buy. The home purchase was complicated but Lisa guided us, and … quite frankly the sellers agent, through the sale with patience, intelligence and compassion. She always focused on our best interests while maintaining the high level of honesty, humor and integrity that stood out to us from the beginning. We couldn't have had a better agent than Lisa Mills” Read More ▾

“I met Kitty Platt at an open house in Laguna Woods Village. Later, she helped me secure a summer rental in the same community. My goal at the time was to experience LWV and all it has to offer with the future intent of a real estate purchase. She answered all my questions as they arose along with her own experiences as a long te … rm resident. She is professional, knowledgeable and offers a quick response to calls and texts. Amir Kharrazi, Kitty's husband, shares the same great qualities. They are both quick to respond and go the extra mile. Together, they make a great team. With their help my purchase was very smooth. 5 ***** out of 5 ***** review to them both. Working with them together or separate will make your real estate purchase a pleasant reality” Read More ▾

“I never had to opportunity to meet Lisa in person. That in itself is a powerful testimonial to the knowledge, professionalism, and committment in managing the process of selling my home. Lisa handled several unexpected things out of the ordinary during the process of closing escrow, including the difficult task of handling all o … f the paperwork through the Laguna Woods HOA and the speedy recovery from a buyer cancelling a sale on the day of escrow closing to finding a new buyer and handling the resale of the property in a very satisfactory time frame. I would not hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone considering buying or selling property” Read More ▾

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND LISA MILLS......I am writing to express the pleasure of working with Lisa Mills, who represented me in the purchasing my home. Lisa came highly recommended from a friend. I am a retired Realtor and very picky when it comes to selecting who will represent me in such an important decision/transaction. Lisa was f … abulous and her knowledge of the market and area was amazing. Lisa not only lived in the community I was looking at, she knew the area like the back of her hand and knew about each specific area and its amenities. Lisa spent countless hours showing me homes and patiently answering all my questions and concerns. Lisa went the extra mile for me, not only with my purchase, but also after. She personally took me to get all my IDs and paperwork for the community I bought into and has answered many questions since my sale was completed. I feel very fortunate to have had Lisa as my realtor. Thank you Lisa, I could not have done it without you” Read More ▾
