My Kentucky Home Buyers and Sellers

Moving from the southwest to the southeastern part of the U.S.A. can be an overwhelming experience especially when you are looking for the right house for your family. In our case this was going to be a colossal task because our house in New Mexico sold in 2 days of being listed. This meant that we needed to be out of our old home and into a new one in less than a month's time. Lizette came to our rescue. Like the seasoned pro that she is, Lizette helped us search for the right home to fit our needs. In a short period of time we found a great home in a great community for families. My family and I are very appreciative of the sincere approach Lizette takes towards all of her clients. Not only have we started a great life in Kentucky but we also have a great friendship with her.

My husband relocated jobs over 3 hours away. His relocation company contacted 2 real estate agents for us to choose from to try and sell our house. Lizette took over an hour explaining how much square footage averaged, how homes around our subdivision compared to ours in their selling prices, and how our home would appear on numerous web sites. The choice between the two could not have been more obvious.

Though the housing market has been flooded, our home never went more than a week without someone looking, and in fact our buyer turned out to be someone from California. I credit Lizette's web sites for the sale of our home and the reuniting of our family together again.

We still marvel at all the homes for sale, while ours proudly hosts a "SOLD" sign in the front. The work that she performed for us, while our house was not the most expensive on the market, made us certainly feel like we were elite clients of hers. I cannot thank her enough!

"Very seldom does an individual not only meet, but exceed every expectation in their line of work. I've worked with Lizette in the past and I have no reservation in saying that I would highly recommend her. She is highly motivated in assisting others in meeting their goals; great work ethic, focused, will find a solution to any problem - all with a wonderful down-to-earth persona that will make any business partnership with her a can't-miss opportunity."

Newlyweds for 6 weeks, Daniel and I were living in one bedroom apartment in Lexington. I was settling into Kentucky after a move from North Carolina and was just about to start job hunting.

After chatting about houses and casually looking on the Internet, we left a voice mail for Lizette introducing ourselves. Since about June, Daniel had been sending me her weekly e-mail newsletters. I felt like I had gotten to know her through these e-mails. We went on-line to our bank and received pre-certification for our mortgage. We now just needed to find a house.

Lizette called back and we decided to meet to look at two houses in Richmond. While they were not right, they were a good place to start. Later, we looked at a few more houses while Daniel was at work. We found it! It was so cute and just right. We wanted to make an offer and Lizette walked us through the process. We crossed our fingers, waited... then the offer was accepted!

Next were calls to the bank, home insurance, inspections, a final walk-through, packing and scheduling movers. Through it all, there was Lizette. She stayed in touch with the seller, coordinated the inspections, monitored the completion of the repair list, provided us a list of contacts and ensured the closing went smoothly.

And the next thing we knew, we were closing on the house. The smooth, painless process would not have been possible without Lizette. She made our first time purchasing a house, easy. While we hope to stay here for a while, there is no doubt in our mind that when it comes time to sell our house, we will be contacting Lizette. She stayed on top of the whole process while also ensuring all of the details were completed.

In the mean time, several things have happened: we bought our first house (and LOVE it) and I made my first friend in Kentucky.

Buying a new home can be quite a difficult task; at least, that's what I've always been told. My first trip to Richmond, KY was for a job interview that went great in more ways than I realized at the time. Not only did I get offered the job, but handed to me from a future co-worker was business card for a Lizette Fitzpatrick. Included in that exchange was a word of advice, "...if you're thinking about buying a home, go with Lizette." Well, I was thinking about buying a home & just wasn't sure where to start as it was something I never experienced before. Lizette was informative, very friendly, & being that this is my first ever home buying experience, gave me much needed advice to get me going in the right direction. From St. Louis, I was able to start looking at homes in the Richmond / Lexington area, as I was now being included in Lizette's great weekly newsletters, via e-mail. In the newsletters contained links to view homes with pictures, prices, footage, age of the home, etc. Basically, everything you would want to know about a house before even stepping a foot inside one.

When I arrived to Richmond, I met with Lizette; she took me around Richmond to see the homes I picked out & a few more that she had picked out as well. Well, wouldn't you know it; the house I really wanted to get wasn't even one that I had picked out! Lizette showed me a beautiful home right in the heart of downtown Richmond.

I really couldn't let this one go buy (no pun intended), so I made an offer that very day. The seller agreed to my offer, & the rest is history; I am now the proud owner of a home! Lizette was there every step of the way for me & the whole Prudential Don Fosters' team couldn't have been any nicer. I know I got really spoiled being that this is my first home buying experience; I'm not sure if I'll ever get it this good again. Lizette Fitzpatrick is a dedicated, professional & friendly person who also happens to be a Realtor!

I have found that the key to finding our perfect house was a competent, alert and patient Realtor. Lizette and I were in constant communication in the last days of our home search. The day we found the house I was wandering around Lexington, checking out neighborhoods. Lizette noticed that a house had come on the market that day in our price range and gave me the address. I drove by, decided it was a good house and called her back to set up a showing. We walked through the house within the hour and I immediately knew I was ready to make an offer. I'm a feng shui consultant, and my home requirements were very demanding. Many Realtors have fallen by the wayside, but Lizette was determined that I would find the perfect house. Thanks Lizette. You're a peach.

My husband is career Army and we have spent many years traveling and renting. We decided it was time to purchase a home of our own and to plan for our retirement. We are a family of horse lovers and so it was not hard to pinpoint our retirement location around the horse capital of the world, Lexington. We scoured the internet daily and came across the Activerain Real Estate Network . We read about each real estate agent listed on the site. Lizette's reviews were excellent so we thought we would contact the best. We called her and set up a date to come to Lexington to find our home. We told Lizette exactly what we were looking for. When we arrived she had an itinerary put together that showed us what we were interested in and did not waste our time on homes that did not fit our needs.

On the second day of our search Lizette took us to our dream home. We knew right away that this was where we wanted to be. It only took two days. I was shocked at how fast and painless the whole process was. We feel like we have known Lizette for a long time. She will not only be our real estate agent for any future needs we may have but will be a true friend forever. Thank you Lizette.

Becoming home owners was something my boyfriend Clay and I always thought would come much later in our lives. We were sure that we would have to wait forever to have "all our ducks in a row" to even starting looking for a home. After meeting Lizette by chance at an open house holiday function then again at Clay's business, For the Love of Dogs Bakery, we knew that Lizette was who we would call when we started looking for a home.

Lizette was so excited when we called and let her know that we were ready to start searching for a home. Our budget wasn't very big but she reminded us several times that we would find something we really liked, that we just needed to have patience. We expected the process to take about 6 months but we closed in less than 4 months after finding a great home with a big back yard for our chocolate lab Chloe.

Not only is Lizette a great real-estate agent but she is also a good friend who was truthful and honest throughout the entire process of buying a home. She was always quick to write us and e-mail or call us on the phone when we had any questions. I don't think I could have asked for a better experience in buying a home.

Lizette made buying a new home very easy, From the moment we called her she did not stop till she found just the right house for us. That day we did not only find a great Home we found great Realtor and a good friend. I would tell anyone that was looking to buy or sell a home to call Lizette.

We met Lizette at an open house. Although that particular home didn't meet our needs we explained what we wanted and the price range. Within a few days she had found a builder to customize and build us the perfect home. She also was a great asset in the sale of our home in Georgetown (sold within 1 week!). Lizette is very energetic, knowledgeable & friendly. We would recommend her to others & will use her help for our own future real estate needs. She goes out of her way to make your home buying or selling experience a good one. Lizette keeps in contact with us & we have become good friends.

A few years ago, we were looking for a good long-term investment. We found a beautiful home on Lancaster Avenue in Richmond and immediately fell in love with it. We called a few real-estate agents, but we didn't reach anyone until we called Lizette. As soon as Lizette answered her phone, we knew we had found our agent. Since this was a long distance transaction, we really needed an agent who would be willing to go out of her way to help with the details that we wouldn't be able to take care of. Lizette took care of everything with the utmost efficiency while maintaining meticulous attention to details.

In November of 2006 we were finally ready to relocate to Richmond ourselves. We began searching the internet until we found a few homes that fit our criteria, then we called Lizette. Lizette gave us her honest assessment of each property and we were able to make our decision based on the information she relayed back to us. Because of our previous experience with Lizette, we knew we could trust her information; in fact we trusted her so much that we bought our home sight unseen, based only on Lizette's evaluation.

When we got to our new home it was even better than we had expected. Lizette had prepared it for our arrival, including turning all the lights on for us. Since it was almost Christmas, she had even put a wreath on the door. Lizette will always be our first choice for real-estate transactions in Richmond. She's also become a great friend personally, for which we are very grateful.

I have to say my experience of buying my house was phenomenal! I spent a few months just looking on my own and talking with a few (actually quite a few!) different agents. I was starting to get very frustrated. The problem was none of the agents were very motivated to help me find what I was looking for. Most were very nonchalant and uninterested in my business! I am a professional and want to also work with professionals.I happen to come upon Lizette by calling on one of the homes she had listed.Within moments she understood what I was looking for and brought encouragement and excitement that I would find it. We spent a few days with each other and within two weeks walked into what is now my home! She knew me so well in such a small amount of time that when we walked in the house not only did my heart skip a beat hers did as well!

THANKS LIZETTE!!

Lizette was our Realtor through the sale and purchase of four properties. She was always available for any questions we had. We found her to be professional in her field, someone who stays on top of things and a go-getter. Also she is extremely helpful and patient. By the way, one of our homes sold in 8 hours: the other in two weeks!

Lizette,

I have been meaning to write you for weeks to thank you for everything you have done in helping us purchase Tessa's new "home away from home." We have never had a Realtor that we became attached to, as we did you, or that had the personal touch that you do. You made it so easy. Thank you for all the references for home owners insurance and all the information regarding transferring the utilities, having the house inspected and on and on. It would have been hard for me to do this from another state without you.

Thank you for EVERYTHING!

I've made a lot of changes in the past year. I dreamed about a new home but had two older homes to sell first. Lizette found buyers for both houses and I made an offer on a fantastic house with a pool! I asked Lizette to help me and she made sure everything went smoothly with all three closings! She's someone you can trust and not just a Realtor but a best friend!

When my husband and I decided to search for a larger home for our family we worried about how we'd find the time. We'd never sold a home before and searching for the right one to buy can be time consuming. Lizette made it easy. She found us the perfect home in the school district we wanted within weeks and sold our house for close to our asking price in just a month and a half! She took the stress out of the entire process.

When my family had to relocate to Richmond, we began to search for a new home for our family. We wanted a home close to work and school, but far enough away from town to enjoy a bit of the countryside. Lizette very patiently showed us homes until we decided that building a new home would better suit our situation. Lizette guided us through the process of building a home without any added stress. The whole entire process was very well organized and made to fit our hectic schedules. If you are expecting a high sales pitch, you won't receive that type of treatment from Lizette. Why, Lizette even offered the use of her garage for our moving sale!

Lizette isn't just a Realtor; she is our friend.

I relocated from Las Vegas and I liked the idea that Lizette was extremely knowledgeable of the central Kentucky area. She wasn't pushy and was genuinely interested in finding the perfect house for me. My experience with Lizette was enjoyable & effortless.

I gained a dreamhome and a good friend.

I highly recommend that you trust her to sell your home or find your next one!
