What clients are saying...
Ilissa was always available, timely in her responses, and helpful when there was a process I didn't understand.
We've bought and sold two sets of houses with ilissa and will continue to work with her in the future should a realty need arise (however, I now live in my dream house, thanks to her, so don't foresee a need anytime soon)! I can't recommend her enough. She was easy (and fun) to work with from start to finish. Upon initial walk through, she gave us valuable feedback on what we needed to do before listing to get the most bang for our buck and through the negotiation process used her savvy skills always getting us the best deal. With her, two moves in just over two years was low stress, thanks to her excellent recommendations and communication skills. You will love working with ilissa! -Erika & Paul Hintz Sellers of 7907 N Santa Monica, Fox Point I
To whom it may concern, We, Victor and Bego a, want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Ilissa Boland of Shorewest Realtors. Ilissa's exceptional work in helping us navigate the US home buying process as foreigners was truly remarkable. Ilissa's dedication and expertise were crucial in this fast-paced and competitive market, where well-maintained properties sell within hours, with multiple offers and often, over asking price. Her attention to detail ensured that we made offers only on houses that would bring us long-term satisfaction. Throughout the process, Ilissa patiently guided us, explaining the nuances of the houses in the region and providing valuable insights. Her accessibility and responsiveness were consistently impressive, making us feel supported every step of the way. Thanks to Ilissa's exceptional assistance, we not only gained a comprehensive understanding of the Northshore market but also found our dream home in Fox Point, exceeding our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend Ilissa Boland to anyone in need of a reliable and experienced real estate agent. Her dedication, expertise, and ability to thrive in the competitive market of the region are truly commendable. We are deeply grateful for her invaluable support in making our dream of owning a home in Fox Point a reality. Warm regards, Victor & Bego a
We were faced with a challenging and time sensitive sale of a home to help an elderly family member. Ilissa's networks helped us quickly find vendors to make needed improvements to maximize the desirability/salability/price of the home. She helped us navigate the multiple offers we received, as well as the marketing/selling of a vacant lot adjacent to the property. We couldn't be more pleased with how everything came together, and greatly enjoyed working with Ilissa who also makes the process fun (or at least as fun as it can be)!
So helpful and patient with a first time home buyer. Very professional. A feather is Shorewest's hat.
I first interacted with Ilissa when she quickly sold another condo unit in the building. She answered her phone on the first ring and was extremely friendly. I was happy to hire her for the sale of my own unit two years later because of that favorable first impression. I enjoyed Ilissa's cheerful and upbeat personality. She knew that communication was key to winning me over. Her availability during her family vacation helped get the unit listed on our schedule. I will always be thankful for that.
I can't say enough good things about Ilissa! Her knowledge of the industry, professionalism and personality make her a great real estate agent. I've worked with her both buying and selling a home. She is truly a great person to help you through the sometimes stressful process of a real estate transaction. Highly, highly recommend!
I was happy to again work with Ilissa Boland to sell my house, which she helped me buy 11 years ago. She did an OUTSTANDING job, and we got an offer well over the asking price on the 2nd day of the live listing. Everything went smoothly, and she was a GREAT resource for contractors who could take care of the few items from the inspection report. I happily recommend her to anyone looking for realty!
Great first time experience working with Illissa and Will! Was referred to her, and I will do the same!
Ilissa is amazing! We absolutely loved working with her. Ilissa was the perfect partner to help us find a house- always providing us honest feedback on benefits and drawbacks to each property and helping with insightful ways to renovate in the future to fit our needs. We can't wait to recommend Ilissa to our friends looking for a home!
Ilissa is fantastic, she went the extra mile for us (her parents) at every turn. From the first visit to the new condo through the inspection and then when when had to cancel our offer due to our buyers canceling theirs- she waited patiently for us to decide to accept new conditions on our sale and when we did she immediately was able to redo our offer on our new condo and saw us through the inspection and supported us through the closing.
Ilissa was referred to me by a family member and I feel like we immediately clicked. She understood my priorities and the constraints that drove my decision making. She was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and thoughtful every step of the way. I could not have asked for a better experience selling my home.
This is my second time working with Ilissa. She is an excellent realtor and I always felt as though she advocated for my husband and me as we navigated the housing market. She responded to our ideas, whims, and frustrations with patience, understanding and respect. She helped provide advice to us, such as identifying new areas in which to broaden our search, or providing insights for the quality of specific homes. We absolutely recommend Ilissa to others seeking a real estate agent who will work tirelessly for her clients. We look forward to working with Ilissa in the future when the need arises.
Ilissa was a great realtor to work with. She was knowledgeable, proactive and was driven to working with me to get my condo sold. I live out of state and she was always responsive to my questions and reached out to her network when I needed assistance in repairs and staging the unit. Her response was quick and the actions needed were completed professionally and within a short time frame. I'll be calling Ilissa if I ever need a realtor in the Milwaukee area,
My fiance and I had the best experience working with Ilissa. She was knowledgeable, responsive and a great help in every aspect of our first homebuying experience. Her advice when putting in an initial offer was invaluable in this highly competitive market. We couldn't be happier in our new home and so much of the credit for that goes to Ilissa!
I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Ilissa Boland and Shorewest. Selling our Mother's home after her death was very emotional. Living out of town, only made it more complicated. Ilissa provided low pressure, helpful guidance every step of the way. She would clearly explain the options on the myriad decisions we had to make and would let us decide what we felt comfortable with, without judgement. She was always available to answer questions and even helped when we were not able to be present for part of the move. She is a positive ray of light, who felt like a friend every step of the way.
Ilissa was great to work with. She was vested in our long term satisfaction and was patient throughout our home search.
Ilissa Boland is a shark. And she doesn't bite! We partnered with Ilissa to buy and sell. She prices right and goes the extra mile. Without a doubt, we can say, if it weren't for Ilissa we would not have our dream home.
Thanks Ilissa for helping us every step of the way! Great experience.
