Not having bought a home in almost 20 years, Elisa made our journey a joy! She listened to what we were looking for, knows the local market well and addressed any concerns quickly and with professionalism. In the process we made a new friend! I would, and have, recommended her to anyone looking for someone to make the process smoother and work for your best interests.

Melissa M.

My wife and I had an outstanding experience working with Elisa. Her 28 years of knowledge and expertise were evident throughout the entire process, and thanks to her guidance we were able to purchase the home we wanted with a deal I never imagined possible. Instead of paying $20,000–$30,000 in closing costs, we actually left the closing table with a check for several thousand dollars. At no point did we feel pressured to buy. Elisa always made sure our questions were answered thoroughly, honestly, and with our best interests in mind. Her professionalism and genuine care made the entire experience stress-free. I will confidently recommend Elisa to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, without hesitation

Working with Elisa was hands-down the best decision we made during our home buying journey. From the start, she brought an unmatched level of professionalism and knowledge base that made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly sets Elisa apart is her deep understanding of the market and attention to detail. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for and went above and beyond to make sure every question was answered and every concern addressed. Thanks to Elisa's expert strategic advice we were able to buy our dream home! it's rare to find someone so knowledgeable yet so down-to-earth and easy to work with. If you're looking for a real estate agent who truly has your back and delivers exceptional results, look no further than Elisa Schwenk!

I have the dubious distinction of relocating every few years, and have worked with my fair share of real estate agents. Elisa Schwenk, of House Broker Realty, is at the top of my list and was instrumental in my recent purchase of a historical home in York. From our very first meeting to view the house, Elisa took the time to understand my needs, and provided invaluable insights throughout the entire process. Elisa’s expertise and vast experience in negotiation were invaluable and I believe that both the seller and I felt like we received a fair outcome from this transaction. During the negotiation process, and despite the fact that I have probably moved 15 times in the past 40 years, I still get jittery. I was feeling anxious so I called Elisa early on a Saturday morning, on the day of her son’s wedding. Expecting to get her voicemail, she answered the call and was able to calm my nerves and offer me some additional guidance. Dedication and desire to go above and beyond a client’s expectations are Elisa’s hallmarks. My experience working with Elisa was stellar and I would not hesitate in recommending her services to both neophytes and experienced buyers (like myself). When I decide to move yet again in several years, I will definitely contact Elisa to market and sell my house.

Elisa’s clever negotiation skills helped my parents win their bid for their forever home. She truly went above and beyond. We were so grateful she was on our team!

Lola H.

We are an investment company based in the UK. We own a number of houses in York and Elisa has been our Realtor for the past 14 years. Based in the UK we have only rarely visited York and we need someone that we can trust to look after our property and financial interests in the City. Elisa is that person. Elisa has bought and sold many houses on our behalf and every transaction has worked out well for us. She always makes sure that our interests are protected and represents us at settlement meetings. Even though we are thousands of miles apart Elisa keeps us informed about matters relating to our properties.

Barclosh Homes LLC.

My business partner and I purchased a property for our small business. I highly recommend Elisa. She was very knowledgeable, responsive, and kept us on track through our closing date. Thank you so much Elisa!!!

Rich S.

I was a first time home buyer trying to find a house in a very fast paced market. The realtor I had prior to Elisa did not seem like they had the time for me, so I asked my friends for recommendations. My friend introduced me to Elisa and it was like a night and day. Elisa took the time to find out what I was looking for in a home, went over my finances to help see what I could afford, and answered any questions I had. She made me feel comfortable through the whole process, she pointed out various issues with some properties we looked at, and was clear about whether the properties were valued properly. She addressed all of my concerns and I can't wait to recommend her to my friends and family! You will be in good hands with Elisa!

Jeremy

We have worked with Elisa selling our home two years ago and then returning back to PA to find us our new home. She is a rockstar when it comes to finding your house you can call your home. She spent many hours finding us the perfect location, and helped support us long distance while we were transitioning back to PA. Her knowledge of the market was key to where we moved and appreciate her knowledge and communication.

Lisa & Clark S.

We have now used Elisa for both a purchase and a sale! Both experiences were top notch. Closed the purchase in about 45 days and closed the sale in about the same time . It was seamless from beginning to end. We are now using her recommendation on a realtor and properties out of state. She doesn’t mess around and from what I can tell she has already hooked us up with the best in a state far away! We will continue to use her on all future transactions. What ever you need is I’d give her a 10 out of 10!!

Neil R.

Elisa was an amazing realtor, she made selling my house a easier process than I ever imagined. I felt like a gained a good friend as well. She was very knowledgeable, and I trusted her completely. She was available anytime I called, no questions I asked was ever too small or “dumb”! Throughout the whole process she guided me and made the process smooth and much less stressful. Which her vast knowledge of real estate I was very comfortable and trusted all her advice the whole time. I could not have asked for anything else while selling my house. You could not find better realtor to work with.

Phyllis S.

Elisa started with us more than a year before we ended up putting the house on the market. She helped us make decisions about how to prepare and was firm but supportive as we got ready to list. In the end, her suggestions, knowledge and team’s prep work got us above asking in less than 24 hours.

Seller

Elisa has made my first home buying experience nothing shy of amazing! She is very helpful and full of knowledge. She responds quickly and always makes me feel reassured and comfortable! I will definitely refer her to any of my family/friends buying a house!

Buyer

When making the decision that it is time to sell our first home, and buy a bigger home for our family was a really hard decision to make. When I bought my first home, I thought it was going to be the best thing for my family. As time went on and my family grew I knew it was time to sell. Elisa, really helped my family make the right choice. She had many resources for me to prepare to sell my home. Elisa was always there for us when we had a questions. When finally putting my house on the market, I was really scared that we were not going to be able to find a place that was perfect. Elisa helped us look high and low. Finally we found the perfect home. She was always rooting for us. She wanted the most for us, as much as we did. It was hard, feeling like we would never find one. She always said there is a perfect home out there, don't give up. Elisa is very kind, humble, and hard working. While working with her, I felt as though she was part of the family. She never let us down, she was always right by our side. I would recommend Elisa to anyone!! My family thanks her for all the hard work, and helping us find our forever home.

Debra J.

Elisa represented us with the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about all things real estate, she helped us with our home staging and supported us through the stressful new home building process. She’s the real deal and we can’t thank her enough for all of her time and talent!

Meredith C.

When I first met Elisa, she made me felt like I have known her forever. She took my boyfriend and I right under her wing and led us in a good direction. She gave us a lot of knowledge while house hunting and always wanted the best for us. She took our interests to heart and found us a home that we couldn't be more thrilled about. If we had any concerns, she went out of her way to get us an answer as soon as possible. She has gone above and beyond what was expected! She made my boyfriend and I's experience as first time home buyers an easy one! I would recommend Elisa to everyone. Fantastic person!

Buyer

Before selling the house, we were overwhelmed where to start. When we first met with Elisa,who has a warm and approachable manner and we felt comfortable with her.Elisa was wonderful with selling our house. This was our first time selling a property and Elisa took her time to explain the process. She helped us sort through of what to pack and what to keep to make the house look beautiful for listing pictures. She was kind and attentive to any of our questions that would come up and was quick to respond back to us. If she did not know the answer, she was also quick to reach out to someone to find the answer. My husband and I would highly recommend Elisa to anyone who is in search of a knowledgeable agent and that is looking for a positive experience.

Ryan & Jessie E.

Elisa was a pleasure to work with. Professional, knowledgeable, and communication lines were always open. She exceeded our expectations and was fun to work with. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Ryan C.

I have sold 7 homes over my lifetime and Elisa has been the most professional and helpful realtor I have experienced. From day one Elisa reassured me of what I should expect and a plan to make it happen. From staging my home to actually helping me move and rearrange furniture. The day before my home was advertised she provided help to actually clean certain areas that I overlooked. Best of all she timed the sale perfectly were it sold in 2 days and I received $15000 above the asking price. If you are selling or buying, she will be your best choice.

Sandy R.

Elisa is the best realtor we could have asked for! She was attentive and more than willing to address every concern we had. Like a friend, she was always there and incredibly easy to talk to. Elisa is wonderful and I’d recommend her to anyone trying to sell their home.

Jodi M.

We had previously dealt with Elisa as an agent she helped us sell and buy our new home. So when we decided we were moving out of state it was no question as to who we would use to sell our home. Elisa brings so much knowledge to the market she not only knows how to price the home but how to stage the home for quick sale. She is easy going able to break things down for anyone to understand. She kept me calm whenever I was having an doubt with the buying or saling of our homes. Her knowledge, professionalism, experience, and love of what she does shines through with every conversation and interaction. She truly is someone who starts out as your realtor and in the end is your friend.

Heather

Elisa Schwenk is top notch!!!!! She came highly recommended from a the realtor that we used to sell our house in Maryland. I can't say enough good things about her. She worked very hard for us and we were able to find our dream home! If we were ever to sell our house, Elisa would be our first call. She is extremely knowledgeable, hard working and most importantly, honest. There is no one else I trust more than her. If you do not use Elisa to buy or sell a home you are missing out!

J. Miller

The was one of the most impressive experiences that I have every had. Mrs. Schwenk was very professional and one of the most personable real estate agents that I have worked with. She was great with describing all the things that were great about my house to her prospects and very good with not disrupting my family time. She bought serious buyers to the table as I requested. An example of that is that after 2 1/2 years of trying to sell my house with other realtors, I meet with Elisa Schwenk in November I had on offer in late November /early January and I finished the process of selling my home February 10th. I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house.

Ron H.

As most of you can probably relate, the first time buying a home can be extremely stressful; however, Elisa’s engaging personality, strong business acumen, enthusiasm for real estate and her ability to identify and develop a plan based off my needs and wants made the entire process a breeze. Elisa was very personable and honest from the gate—and she also handled everything; from scheduling to have my home de-winterized, to contacting an amazing lender, to recommending an excellent inspector at an affordable price. Elisa and her husband also volunteered to shovel/snowplow almost two feet of snow from my driveway and entryways to my electric and gas meters. My experience with Elisa is one I will never forget, which is why I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. I know without a doubt that Elisa would be a tremendous asset to anyone lucky enough to have her.

Sarah E.

Elisa Schwenk is a very out going realtor and goes extra lengths to sell or buy a home. Elisa is also very patient and understanding.

Michael B.

We had a great experience with Elisa! We were referred through family, who used Elisa to find a home, and highly recommended her. She was able to find the perfect house for us that fit our family. We would recommend Elisa to anyone in this area looking for a home!

Kevin & Katie L.

I originally hired another broker to list my home for sale. I felt obligated to hire her since she was a family friend. She wanted me to continually lower the price even though I had multiple offers. After 2 months on the market, she decided to dismiss herself as my agent. I immediately called Elisa. She came over and we discussed things to do and change. My house was mostly empty as I had already moved to another house so we decided to stage the house. This made such a huge difference! Also, the professional photos were amazing and really made my house stand out. I had a tough time selling my childhood home and Elisa was so patient and understanding during the process. This house has been in my family for over 50 years. It’s the home my siblings and I were born and raised in and it’s where I started raising my babies. But then it was time for me to move on and begin a new chapter, which included a new home. It was exciting and sad all at the same time! We ended up getting a full price offer. I couldn’t ask for a better agent or experience. Elisa was wonderful and I cannot recommend her enough!

Courtney R.

Our neighbors down the street used Elisa Schwenk to sell their house and it went quick, but more than that we liked her style, spirit and professionalism. So we got her name and number and found out she was the one who sold us our home 15 years ago! She came in with a positive and confident spirit, and put a plan together, answered all our questions, and sold our home (again) in 5 days! She is personable and has a great way about her to keep you on track! She will be your greatest cheerleader, but more than that a great friend. We can't say enough about her assisting us in the selling of our home so we could move to warm SC. Thank you Elisa - your the best!

Dennis K.

Elisa Schwenk was amazing to work with while we searched and bought our forever home. Elisa was very patient and accommodating to help us find the perfect house with everything we wanted, and we looked at quite a few houses! Elisa always had our best interest in mind as she showed us houses, especially as we grow with children. Elisa helped us envision ways to decorate and celebrate in the homes-until that perfect house was found. With Elisa it is more than just selling a house, it is keeping a friendship, which I feel like we have with Elisa, and we are grateful to have someone like Elisa there for us.

Monique F.

I had met with two Agents I had used in the past and then I met with Elisa- There was no doubt after meet her that I knew she was the right person for me. She is extremely knowledgeable of the areas of my interest and if she was not familiar with something she researched it and got back to me. Elisa LISTENS- she knew I needed to stay within a budget since I was retiring in a year. She did not waste our time looking at homes she knew I would not be interested in. She HEARD- I had very specific requirements which made it a bit difficult to meet all my expectations but she did. Elisa was very supportive through out the entire process of purchasing my home....she always addressed pro's and con's when I was concerned about something. Her expertise shined though every aspect of providing an offer on the home and in response to counter offers which were fair and diligent. I have provided her name to others since I have moved 1 year ago relocating from Colorado. He post purchase communication is outstanding- she strives for excellence and meets / exceeds. She is dedicated to providing optimal consumer service . There is no doubt that if in the future I am in need of an Agent to sell my home and purchase another Lisa is my #1 and only go to Agent. Elisa takes her performance seriously and has a great sense of humor to off set. She was so approachable and I felt like I knew her forever. She was concise in communication and always made sure I understood the information provided. Elisa is clearly known and respected by others in her field. She is respected for her Honesty and Integrity- She has many contacts in which to obtain quality and honest information and direction for the success of her client. Unfortunately, most often, we only hear about the negatives in a person- I feel this is an excellent way to promote the outstanding qualities of a Woman who does not get the notoriety she truly deserves because she is humbly proud and I am honored to have had the chance and opportunity to praise her abilities and accomplishments..

Katherine B.

We highly recommend Elisa for all of your real estate needs. She goes above and beyond for every one of her clients and she truly wants what’s best for each one of them. She has great ideas and suggestions that really improved the home’s appearance and helped it sell quicker. She is always so kind, friendly and willing to help in any way. We cannot say enough great things about her! We were fortunate enough to meet her through mutual friends and we have become good friends! When it was time to sell this property, we knew we wanted to work with Elisa. If you’re looking for a top notch realtor, Elisa is the one for you!

Courtney L.

We were very happy with our experience buying with Elisa, it was evident we were dealing with an experienced professional who was willing to challenge both our inexperienced assumptions as well as the seller's during negotiations. We appreciated constructive feedback and were able to better negotiate the home buying experience through our mutual respect and professionalism. Elisa was candid enough to give us appropriate feedback and help us better understand the area in which she has much experience, and she still listened to our concerns and would act in accordance with our desires. The honest dialogue and feedback was one of our primary reasons for our good experience. That is not to say Elisa is not also friendly and helpful, because she is both. It is a delicate balance to strike between being approachable, honest, and friendly without becoming just a 'yes' person or a pushover, so it is a testament to her experience and professionalism that she can provide all of the above.

Tim

If you want a realtor that has your best interest at heart, this is the realtor for you. Elisa responds quickly to messages of any kind and also is prompt in returning calls if she does miss one!! Also the personal attention you will receive is second to none. Elisa listens to you as well and shows you homes that you like not what someone else would like. Great knowledge of real estate and goes above and beyond what her job entails. And the best thing about Elisa is she is a great person with a great personality you can not go wrong with Elisa!!

Mark M.

Elisa was very personable and fun to work with, right from the beginning. I could tell she enjoys understanding her client's needs and really embraces their desires during the home searching process. She gave me expert advice during the whole process (I'm a first time buyer) and fought for me and my family after we closed on the house and found undisclosed termite damage. She was always upbeat and full of positivity! We enjoyed our experience and will work with Elisa again in the future.

Paige H.

Elisa was an amazing realtor to work with. You can tell she really knows what she is talking about when it comes to the area, the market, and what sellers are thinking. Her communication with us and the sellers agent was great and I felt like everyone was always on the same page. We definitely felt like a "team" working with her and were able to have our offer accepted over a competing offer due to some of her recommendations! We love our new house and have her to thank!

Krystina

It was a great experience working with Elisa! The first time I talked to her I knew she would get my home sold quickly! Only took one week and we had a good offer ! She kept me informed every step of the way . Elisa made it so easy for me and I know she will do the same for you ! Thank you Elisa !

Glenn B.

I bought my first home using Elisa as my realtor. I cannot say enough positive things about my entire experience. She really took the time to find out what I was looking for in a home for my daughter and I. She was extremely knowledgeable about all the different areas all over York Co. that I was interested in. Elisa was very honest and caring throughout the entire process. She responded quickly to all my texts and emails. The entire process seemed not only painless but enjoyable. I felt like I was her only client, even though I knew she had many at the same time. I HIGHLY recommend her for anyone looking to purchase a home. I wish there was a category for "amazing". Anyone even considering to buy or sell their home should talk to her now! I didn't get the opportunity to work with the other staff but if they are anything like Elisa, I am sure they are great as well Elisa was fantastic. She was on top of everything from referring a reliable home inspector to discussing home warranties that I may be interested in using. She always worked around my schedule and made everything so easy. Elisa gave me real expectations and was a true advocate for me in getting me the best price for my home.

Lisa W.

Elisa is a down to earth woman with a great sense of humor. We had a lot of fun searching for the ride home and have maintained an excellent relationship since. Wouldn’t recommend anybody but her

Jon M.

Elisa was so comforting, knowledgeable, patient, and very helpful during the listing of our house. We had a bad investment that we were selling, and she was able to sell our house for the highest price in that development. Now those homes are selling for even more than what ours did -- she was the reason for the turn around in that specific development!! I always refer Elisa!!!

Brandi

We wanted to take some time out to give a huge shout out to one of the best realtors we have ever had the chance of working with. When you look up the word professional in the dictionary you will find a picture of Elisa Schwenk. Elisa went above and beyond helping us find a home. We had no idea how much of bond we would have with her. We felt like we dealing with family instead of someone we had just met. She had an answer for all our questions and led us down the right road. When you’re trying to buy a home it can be emotional and you might not be thinking with the best mind set. Elisa takes the time to get you on the right track and is a calm voice in the storm. I would highly recommend working with her, she is truly the best!

Billy & Megan Z.

Elisa is an excellent real estate agent and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is professional and best of all personable. She gave me fantastic advice when negotiating my contract after spending a lot of time with me looking for my perfect home. I was moving from another state into PA and she helped me with all the new processes that comes along with relocating to a new state as well. I have recommended her to many employees at my location who were also moving from another state to PA and they all have come back to me and gave me outstanding reviews on Elisa. They are now recommending their friends & family as well. Do yourself a favor and choose her when looking for your real estate agent in Pennsylvania.

Tracey

Outstanding experience with Elisa!! She does her homework, she knows and lives in the area, she is clear and transparent though out the entire process. Once you do find your home, everything is streamlined and very easy to understand. I couldn't recommend a better realtor than Elisa

Darryl L.

Buying and selling in 32 days was absolutely insane! But Elisa made the entire process painless. She was wonderful to work with. Even when I was so stressed, she was there to help me get through all the crazy that comes with buying and selling. She was always so nice and I’ve even gained a life long friends. Which is something I wary expecting. We meshed well and this process went as smooth as it could. She was always there to answer questions. Thank you so much Elisa!

Katelyn.

When we started our search for a home we were overwhelmed. We started out on our own, internet searches and every open house we could attend. Everywhere we went there were agents who were over aggressive and made us uncomfortable. We just didn't feel the connection we needed to put us at ease. Elisa Schwenk came highly recommended by several of my husband's coworkers so we decided to give her a call. Within minutes of meeting her we knew we had found someone we could trust. She was the best decision we could have made. Elisa was incredible! She did everything in her power to ensure we were getting the best deal possible. She found ways to accomdate for our situation and financial needs. Elisa is very knowledgeable and professional. She has a lot of professional connections and whenever we had a question or concern, she simply reached out to an expert in that specific area to answer our questions and put us at ease. Now that we have closed on our home she still remains in contact. She has made sure we are happy with our purchase and everything is going well for us. I have already recommended Elisa to all my friends and family considering purchasing a home in the near future. I honestly think she is the best! She took all of our stress and anxiety out of the process and really did care about our needs and concerns. Elisa made the experience pleasant and enjoyable.

Maritza A.

Elisa Schwenk was an absolute joy to work with. She knew what needed to be done and how to get the job done successfully. I found Elisa to be very personable and easy to approach. Selling a home is nerve wracking and she knew how to put us at ease. Would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs an agent.

JoAnn J.

We were introduced to Elisa Schwenk by a friend, after our first go around with a previous realtor (who was not able to sell our home). Elisa came in prepared, knowledgeable, and motivated to sell our home. Elisa brought in her team to help make reasonable improvements to our home, which paid off in the end. Through the entire process, Elisa was available to us 24/7, she worked through weekends and vacations, during time sensitive events. When we saw our forever home was back on the market, Elisa arranged a showing on Easter Sunday, to lock in the deal to ensure we did not miss out on this home a second time. Elisa is a great agent to have on your side of the negotiations- both selling and buying. She is well informed and prepared for any bumps in the road that comes along with the process- she keeps her composure at all times, no matter the issue being faced. She was so wonderful to work with and although we are happy to have sold our first home and are now in our forever home, we miss working with Elisa. We are so grateful for her and everything she has done for our family to get us where we (literally) are today! Thank you, Elisa!
