Judy Fremer
I first met Lisa Hopkins almost twenty years ago when I was looking for a home to purchase. We visited numerous properties over a lengthy stretch of time before locating one that was right for me. Through it all, Lisa was highly professional and knowledgeable, yet also easy-going and very patient. We have kept in touch over the years and I still seek her advice on occasion. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a realtor, as I can honestly say that she is great to work with and a pleasure to know.
Tim & Brandie Prichard
Lisa is a consummate real estate professional. We have found Lisa to always be prepared, responsive and thorough in our real estate needs. No detail was left out when she assisted us in selling our home. She was diligent to the end.
Michelle Fry
I have known Lisa for a number of years, and continue to be impressed with her manner of service toward her clients. She has always gone out of her way to put the needs of her buyers and sellers first. She makes sure that she does her “homework” on every transaction and ensures that she keeps everyone educated through the process. My feeling is that when someone can receive a compliment from a “Realtor/Competitor” that should go a long way. I am a Realtor and I would definitely hire Lisa to help me with a real estate transaction.
Ilija & Olivera Vitomirov
Dear Lisa – I am writing to thank you on my family’s and my own behalf for making our relocation from the East Coast such a pleasant experience. We truly enjoyed working with you, from our first telephone contacts, prior to our move, all the way through the closing on our new home which you helped us select. We found your initial tours of different communities extremely helpful in getting to know the area and defining our housing needs and preferences. A couple of months later, when we were ready to start looking to purchase our new home, we were again very pleased with the efficient yet easy-going manner in which you conducted our search. Most significantly, we are very happy with the home we bought through your assistance and would like to, without any reservation, recommend your services to any prospective home buyers in this area.
Lee & Keri Miller
My wife and I searched for 3 months for a larger home, in anticipation of the new addition to our family. Every home we viewed was either unaffordable to us or unappealing to us. After contacting Lisa and informing her of our needs and expectations in a new home, it was a very short time before we were moving into our new place. Lisa was very helpful, professional and thorough. She used the resources available to her to our advantage and we really appreciate that! Thank you, Lisa!
Richard Halaschak
Working with Lisa was a pleasure. We found her to be very informative regarding our questions. Being a first time buyer, here in California, Lisa showed us exactly what we were looking for and the transaction went smooth all the way. No pressure was felt! Thank you, Lisa.
Abus & Ate Atefeh
Lisa Hopkins not only helped us to find the right place, but with her timely and professional follow ups, made certain it was to our utmost satisfaction after we moved in. In short, Lisa Hopkins has given a new meaning to the word Realtor. A meaning which combines service with ultimate satisfaction.
Susan & Jim Mackey
We’ve worked with many agents over the years and Lisa stands out as being the most well prepared and informed, and NEVER pushy. She’s thorough, patient and pleasant to work with. The bottom line…she found us the home of our dreams, within our budget.
Jan Shoemaker
Last fall I decided it was time to start house-hunting. Luckily, Lisa Hopkins was highly recommended. She is delightful to work with, is very knowledgeable, and knows the area. She instantly got the feel of what I was looking for. When the right house came one the market, it took me an instant to decide on it. All transactions went smoothly, promptly and satisfactorily to both parties. I love my new place!
Dave Corsello
Director of Operations for Brook Furniture Rental. Lisa Hopkins was a pleasure to deal with in my specific transaction. I found her to be very accessible as well as punctual with respect to meetings and phone calls. She showed an ability to communicate clearly with the other broker involved and a genuine interest in taking care of her customer. I would not hesitate in using Lisa Hopkins for real estate transactions in the future, as it is my contention that the job she does for her customers is second to none!
Christopher & Elaine Taylor-McCune
When we first met Lisa, she sat down with us and asked us to describe what we wanted. She listened carefully and chose a few good places for us to see. As we looked that day, Lisa gave us plenty of time to talk privately, yet she was there instantly to answer even our smallest questions. After each home we looked at, she took the time to ask us exactly which features we liked or disliked. Lisa listened very carefully. My wife and I are very picky. We knew exactly what we wanted from the very start. Even though we couldn’t describe it in detail, Lisa did her homework and narrowed in on our ideal home in an unbelievably short amount of time. Before we knew it, we were walking in the front door of the most beautiful home we had ever seen. Never once through any stage of the process of looking or buying did Lisa let us down. She never pressured us and she always kept our interests in mind. She told me later she knew my wife and I would know when we saw the right home for us. With Lisa’s guidance, we found that home. Lisa is an excellent Realtor. We highly recommend Lisa Hopkins to any one looking to buy or sell a home!
Janet Austin
American Home Shield. After working with thousands of Realtors throughout my career, it’s easy to see which Realtors are really top notch. Lisa Hopkins is one of the best agents any seller or buyer could work with. I have worked with Lisa for over 20 years and I would rank her at the top of the list for real estate consultation and sales. She is dedicated to excellence; she is constantly educating herself to make certain that she gives the best advice; she knows the market! Lisa holds to a high standard of ethics & discipline in all areas. She is trustworthy & truly devoted to making your sale/purchase the best it can be for you. Without a doubt in my mind, Lisa Hopkins is a successful Realtor because people like her as a business woman and also as a friend. Call her today!
Betty Manske
Thanks for doing such an awesome job representing and taking care of Richard and Hiromi. I had complete confidence in you when I referred you to my brother. But you have “wowed” me even more with your hard work and diligence. I can’t think of a better agent. We appreciate you so much and will keep sending referrals your way.
Michelle Fry
Lisa is an absolute professional in the field of Real Estate. Being a fellow Realtor (in another area), I rely on Lisa for all my referrals to the San Ramon , Danville and surrounding areas. She stands out to her clients for being thorough with her research and going way beyond the normal expectations of a Realtor. She is also a great mentor for those of us that have not been in the industry for as long as she has.
Gayle Coleman
The calm in the storm. That is how I describe Lisa. She has sold and bought our houses at different times and never missed a beat. When things looked crazy or we had issues with the negotiations, Lisa stayed calm and comforting. She is a true professional and not one of those “schmarmy” realtors. She is the real thing; calm, cool, and collected. If you want a no nonsense, I am not trying to prove anything and will get it done type of person, Lisa is your realtor. Her unassuming nature is perfect! They never see her coming.
Debbi Griffin
Lisa helped us buy and sell. She was a life saver. She got over asking price on the sale of our home, and we were the successful buyer on our dream house even though we weren’t the highest bidder. I have bought and sold across the country and Lisa made this one the best.
Celeste Nelsen
Lisa provided above-the-board results in helping our family find a home that fit our needs, personalities and budget. We could not have asked for a better person to represent us in the real estate world. From looking at properties, to signing the final papers, Lisa provided professional services that made what is a daunting endeavor, into a good experience. We will not hesitate to have her assist us again, the next time we need to buy or sell our home!
Clyde Ellingwood
Realtor. I have previously worked in a the same Re/Max full time real estate office as an agent with Lisa. I believe she is a highly qualified and very ethical agent and would refer my best clients to her for service. I know they would be in experienced, qualified, ethical hands with Lisa. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends or family for the best service.
Phyllis Girvetz
We have worked with many Realtors over the years, but it was by pure serendipity that we met you! You have shown us a real estate experience like no other. When we couldn’t find the perfect house, you found one for us that wasn’t even on the market. Your patience and expertise were unbelievable. Thank you for helping us find our dream home!
Juliet Smith
“THE BEST!!! Even though we are now in another state, we ALWAYS ask for Lisa’s input where real estate is concerned, before we make any decisions 🙂 She’s been our realtor for 20+ years!”
Katherine Osborn
Lisa truly cares about finding the right house for her clients and is a great negotiator, which serves her clients well. She is responsive to her clients and lender partner which makes the process smooth for all involved. I would recommend Lisa as a reliable and trustworthy realtor.
Ellen Carlson
Lisa has been my “go-to” for real estate needs and questions for years. She’s so knowledgeable and helpful! Excellent realtor and resource!
Chris Lussier
I had the great opportunity to work with Lisa as the buyer’s agent on the purchase of her client’s homes in Walnut Creek. Working with her was a fantastic experience. She was very responsive and professional. Her responsiveness and dedication ensured a smooth transaction for all parties. Lisa, I look forward to the opportunity to work together again in the future, and I wish you continued success in your real estate career.
Laura Faggetti
I am so happy with our experience with Lisa Hopkins with our first home purchase. Being first time home buyers, my husband and I were pretty clueless. Lisa took the time to really explain the whole entire process with us from beginning to end. If there was ever a time we didn’t understand something, or had a question, we could reach her by phone or email and receive a quick response. Lisa helped us find our first home (in San Ramon) that we fell in love with and could see ourselves starting a family in. She was on top of communicating with the selling agent. We had issues with the sellers and at one point during escrow, we honestly thought we wouldn’t get the house. Lisa worked with the selling agent and was able to get everything worked out. We would not have been able to do it without her. I am so happy and thankful we had Lisa help us buy our first home. She was very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. I can confidently say that we will use Lisa again in the future if and when we need to sell/buy.
Tim Flanagan
Lisa is an outstanding realtor. My experience with her led me to a beautiful home I lived in for 14 years. She has patience, listens well, and is always, always cheery and positive.
Givon Ziskind
We worked with Lisa on purchasing our new house. Lisa was on top of the whole process, guided us and made sure our purchase went smoothly. Absolute pleasure working with Lisa.
Kristen Lane
Lisa was a great resource to our family as we searched for the perfect home. She was always available for questions and very knowledgeable about the market, the Danville/San Ramon area, as well as the process. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking to purchase a home!
John Sroka and Sara Kimber
Lisa as a very knowledgeable, highly skilled professional who guided us from initial consultation through the sale of our home for above asking price. Lisa listened carefully to our questions, explained every step of the process in a clear, unhurried manner; and helped us through key decision points with clear, well-balanced advice. Lisa operates with a high degree of integrity and diligence, and is a very pleasant, positive person to work with. We highly recommend Lisa as an exceptionally qualified real estate professional.
Marcela Ruiz
Lisa was able to assist my clients that are relocating across the country from California to South Carolina. Lisa was awesome at communicating & keeping everyone in the transaction informed. My clients were very happy at how professional & thoughtful she was. Will definitely refer to her again!!
John Wozniak
My wife and I met Lisa at an open house. She was very helpful and open about the local market. Coming from the Midwest we struggled with the pricing and speed at which properties moved. Lisa did an excellent job of keeping us informed on new properties and market conditions. We had to move in a short time line due to relocation issues and Lisa did a fantastic job of finding our family the perfect solution with little time. You can count on Lisa to help, support and get the job done.
Elisa Dowd
Lisa had heard from a mutual acquaintance that we might want to buy some property. She kept us in mind when a suitable piece of land came up and helped us make it happen.
Michelle Fry
I have exchanged business with Lisa for a number of years and have found her to be one of the most conscientious and knowledgeable Realtors in the business. Regardless of personality styles, Lisa is able to connect with her clients on every level. She is honest, thorough, and just an extreme pleasure in business and as a personal friend. If I were selling my home in her area, I would hire her in a heartbeat.
M.L.
Inventory knowledge and accessibility account for high marks. Lisa sold our home at the price we wanted, AND, found our new home that “checked all the boxes”. Very smooth process on both the sale and buy sides. Excellent experience with Lisa Hopkins. Would recommend.
Nebojsa Milosavljevic
Being a first time homeowner can cause overwhelming feelings of stress; however, Lisa’s professionalism, patience, and immense experience helped guide us in finding our perfect home! Lisa was always available to answer questions, and spend the extra time to help perfect our bid. She has a detailed eye for real estate, and was a wealth of knowledge while walking through potential homes. She knows the East Bay market, and was quick to respond to offers and counteroffers. Even once our bid was accepted, she was available and helpful during the entire closing process. We couldn’t be happier in choosing Lisa as our real estate agent!
W. Michael Becker
She is a true professional and a real pleasure with whom to work. I highly recommend Lisa!!
Seyon Wind
It was a pleasure working with Lisa to purchase our first home. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the sometimes complex process. We could not be happier with her attentiveness as an experienced, professional realtor and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Aj and Michelle
Lisa, your contribution to our office and commitment to your clients in this difficult year has not gone unnoticed, and will be remembered for years to come. So looking forward to spending time together in 2021.
Jill Shibuya
Lisa is honest, highly knowledgeable and experienced, thorough and committed to the highest level of service. I engaged Lisa to sell my Danville townhome and assist me in the purchase of a single family home. She provided excellent advice on the timing of the listing and recommended a stager who beautifully transformed my home. Lisa always responded quickly to my questions, and she took the time to explain things thoroughly. Before searching for a new home, Lisa listened carefully to my requirements and preferences and completely respected that I am cautious. When the market skyrocketed and the only winning offers were non-contingent, Lisa never pressured me to fall into the trap of waiving my right to inspection. She recommended excellent inspectors who gave me a good sense of the condition of the home that I would ultimately purchase. Ultimately, I bought a home that I will enjoy for years to come. Lisa is extremely detail oriented and organized and knows the East Bay market really well. She’s strongly committed to serving her clients with a high level of care and expertise.
Debbie Tee
Choosing Lisa to serve as our real estate agent was the best choice my husband and I could have made as we looked for someone to represent us in the sale of our house. Firstly, Lisa is extremely professional, passionate about her work, confident and her attention to detail is remarkable. She dots every “I” and crosses every “T” all while demonstrating her excellent listening skills and good sense of humor. Her timely responses to any email or phone call were met with much happiness as we felt like we were her only clients. We found her to be easy to work with and enthusiastic about our objectives. Secondly, with her decades-long experience in the field, Lisa has a wealth of information that is applicable to properties large and small. She follows the market closely and does deep market analysis designed to appropriately price homes in this competitive market. Thirdly, she made selling our house feel seem-less. She had excellent feedback for updating and staging the house. She set the asking price competitively and she was a fabulous negotiator who netted us hundreds of thousands of dollars above asking price! She met all our expectations and we are quite pleased to call her, not only our incredible real estate agent but our friend, too.
Kathy Melara
Lisa is the best! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. Very patient and kind. She knows this area very well and works great with other Realtors. Always was easy to get in touch with her.
Kim Nash
I’ve known Lisa since we were young girls growing up together in the East Bay. When my husband’s job moved us from Chicago back home, I reached out to an old friend to help me buy a house. What I found, however, was a very knowledgeable real estate professional who knew the area and the market. She took care of everything so that I, the buyer, was professionally represented, while the seller still felt great about the sale. My husband and I were blown away by the level of experience Lisa has in this fast and furious market. Thank you Lisa for a fantastic move!
Penelope Denenberg
I can’t say enough good things about Lisa. She guided us through a challenging sale of our old house, always upbeat and positive. She brought both professionalism and creativity to her marketing strategies, and she never quit working to find the right buyers for our unique property. While selling the old house, she helped us find our next house, navigated us smoothly through the process of a 1031 exchange, and got our sale/purchase completed in a really tight timeframe. Throughout all of this, she offered her advice but never pressured us — a tough thing to pull off. She was incredibly detail-oriented, kept us well-informed about all the many important aspects of both our sales, and we felt really comfortable in all of our dealings with her. Lisa’s the best!
Jennie Lane
It was my third time having Lisa Hopkins-Cochran as my real estate agent, and every transaction was truly memorable. Lisa’s expertise in the housing market is exceptional. Lisa is very reliable, kind, patient, and has personal touch making the process more comfortable. Lisa recently helped me sell my townhome, and throughout the sale process, Lisa was very patient in explaining and providing guidance. There were repairs to be made, and Lisa was very helpful in my communication and interaction with the contractors and HOA. Lisa was incredibly communicative and promptly answered calls, texts and emails, keeping me informed about every development. Lisa has the ability to bring multiple offers. I am satisfied and impressed by Lisa’s outstanding skills and personalized service. Lisa’s strategy during the final negotiation highlighted her professionalism. Please do not hesitate to give Lisa a call for any questions you have. Lisa, thank you for everything you have done!
M. Becker
I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa Hopkins-Cochran for at least ten years. During that time, Lisa had earned my respect and loyalty above any one else with whom I have worked. She knows her profession, she is the quintessential professional, and I respect and trust her judgment. She offers advice and opinions and does so with focus on the interests and needs of the client. I trust her opinions and insights and her willingness to “go the extra mile”. Lisa is not only the most trusted professional I know, but is a true “guiding light” when dealing with the less defined areas of real property matters. Over the years I have worked with Lisa, I have come to use her services exclusively and without any hesitation. There are few people with whom I have come to trust more than Lisa.
