What clients say about working with Lisa
Lisa did a phenomenal job selling my house! She explained every detail through the process and I would highly recommend her if you need someone to sell your home or to help through the process of buying a home!
Lisa did an amazing job helping to sell our parents home. She demonstrated knowledge of the area and process. She went right to work and had the house on the market right away. She actually showed the house ten times in the first 2 days it was on the market! The house sold above asking price by the end of those 2 days. Moreover, Lisa kept us informed during the selling process and during the closing process.
Lisa was amazing in helping us purchase our dream home! She was hard-working, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile working directly with the seller’s realtor in making sure that all went smoothly. Lisa also helped us sell our previous home. We couldn’t have done it without her!
Lisa talked with me about various options, gave me an honest assessment of my property, backed up by lots of data, and advised me of her recommendation. She helped me find professionals for the things I needed, and once we listed I got offers almost immediately because I knew she was right about how to price our property. The offer I accepted was right about what she told me to expect (with even more favorable terms than I’d anticipated) and I had a no muss no fuss closing very quickly. It was so painless I wish I had more property to sell.
Lisa professionally staged and showed the property with the utmost respect for our concerns and without interruption of our privacy. Lisa provided showing feedback and kept our interest up front at all times. She handled resolution of a minor inspection issue and closing was a breeze due to her professionalism and communication with closing attorney. Lisa will go out of her way to make a real estate transaction hassle free. Highly recommend.
My experience with Lisa Helfrich has been top notch. Lisa has provided premiere customer service to us in our search for a home.

I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a trust-worthy agent who is always willing to go the extra mile.
We recently moved from the middle of the country and had no idea about the area. We met Lisa at an open house and that was the best thing that could have happened! Lisa was diligent in finding us our perfect home in a great neighborhood. She also helped us every step of the process and negotiated the best price for us. Any time I contacted her, she was quick to respond. I highly recommend!

Six questions to answer before your Rhode Island move
Whether you’re buying your first home in Warwick, selling a single family home in Lincoln, or looking at a second home near the water in Westerly, the same few questions come first. These answers cover where to start a search, buying for the first time, getting a home ready to list, setting a price, buying to rent out, and planning a second home anywhere in Rhode Island.
Rhode Island has so many towns within an hour. How do I decide where to start my search?
Start with your own priorities, then search the towns that fit the most of them. Write down what matters most: your daily travel, the kind of home you want, your budget, and how much upkeep you’re willing to take on. Because Rhode Island is about an hour from end to end, you can compare Providence, Cranston, Warwick, South Kingstown or Cumberland without ruling anything out too early. Lisa D. Helfrich works across the whole state and can help you narrow the field. Check schools, property taxes and travel times with each town and other official sources, since they change and differ by address.
I’m buying my first home in Rhode Island. What should I do before I start touring?
Before your first showing, talk with a lender, decide between a condo and a single family home, and write down your must-haves. A lender can tell you what you can borrow and which first-time buyer programs to ask about. A condo usually means a monthly association fee and less outside upkeep; a single family home means more control and every repair is yours. Lisa D. Helfrich can walk you through the steps in order, from your first search to closing day. Financing and program rules change, so confirm them with a lender.
What should I do to get my Rhode Island home ready to list, and what can I skip?
Focus on decluttering, light, small repairs and giving every room a clear purpose before you spend on bigger projects. These steps help buyers picture themselves in the space, whether it’s a single family home in Bristol or a condo in Middletown. Large renovations right before a sale often cost more than they return. As an Accredited Staging Professional, Lisa D. Helfrich can help you decide what to do and what to leave alone. Preparation helps a home show well, but no step guarantees a sale price or timeline.
How is the list price for my Rhode Island home decided?
A list price comes from comparing your home honestly with similar homes that recently sold or are on the market now, then adjusting for condition, layout, updates and location. Buyers make that comparison for you, so the price needs to hold up next to theirs. Lisa D. Helfrich is a PSA, Pricing Strategy Advisor, and walks you through the comparison so you understand the reasoning, not just the number. Prices and buyer demand change, so base your decision on a current pricing review, not a single past sale.
I’m thinking about buying a Rhode Island property to rent out. What should I check first?
Before you buy to rent, find out what the town allows, what the full monthly cost will be, and what the property needs to be ready for a tenant. Rental rules, registrations and inspections differ by city and town, so check with the town and official sources for the exact address. If it’s a condo, the association’s documents may limit rentals. Talk with a lender about investment property financing and a tax professional about taxes. Lisa D. Helfrich can help you compare properties, but no one can promise rental income, returns or future value.
We’d like a second home in Rhode Island. What should we sort out before we buy?
Before you buy a second home, decide how you’ll use it, what upkeep you can manage from a distance, and what the full cost will be when you’re not there. Near the coast, check official flood maps and talk with an insurer about the exact address before you commit. If you might rent it out part of the year, confirm the town’s rules first, and for a condo, read the association’s documents. Lisa D. Helfrich works from Westerly to Newport to Cumberland and can help you weigh the options. Flood, insurance and rental rules change, so confirm them with the responsible source.
