Marketing and Advertising background QSC, CNS, CRS, EPRO

About Us:

    Your Realtor in the SW Riverside County area of Inland Empire...more specifically, Temecula California.  We are about 45 min North of San Diego, South of Orange County and about the same distance from the Coast and Big Bear!   Centrally located is the ideal reason to be in this beautiful wine region!  The weather is superb with moderate temperatures most of the year.  It gets warm in the summer but because of the positioning of the mountains(in the Rainbow Gap), we get an afternoon breeze from the ocean that blows out the heat, which is why the grapes do so well.  We have 40 wineries in town now; call when your in town tasting!   

I have been in Real Estate in Southern California for 8 years.  My educational background is marketing and advertising and presently my partner/husband and I employ 1 Asst and 3 buyers agents.  Our team as a whole, are fully immersed in the REO(Bank owned) market, representing several banks as well as the short sale market with a closing ratio of 93% !!!  ( 7% of the time the client just gives up and doesn't want to try anymore or the bank says no ) 

Even though my specialty is in residential and investment properties (land and residential). I have, in years past, spent alot of time working with developers on land deals. I also keep myself immersed in education when it comes to real estate, technology updates, legal perspectives and contractual changes.  My husbands previous career prior to retirement, was sales and marketing for 20 years at a fortune 500 company.  He now is fully immersed in Commercial Real Estate as well as the REO market. 

Referring business out to other agents in their area of expertise is important to me because my bottom line is that my client is getting the best possible service.  If I don't know the area, it does my client a disservice by using me; I will do what is best for them and refer it out.  If you specialize in an area and put the client first, use technology to its fullest and pride yourself on customer service, I would love to talk to you about referring future business to you and developing a partnership for future referrals.  I know the Inland Valley very well from many different angles (developer, home buyer, seller and investment properties for long term).  Here are a few of the home websites to preview if your in the mood.....    www.Temecula1.com, www.RanchoHeightsBeauty.com, www.SouthTemecula.com,

If you go to my website at www.lisaforss.com  you can link on all of the our individual websites for the homes that we are presently marketing! It will give you a chance to see what is coming up on the market as well but is not yet presently listed on the MLS. 

 

Areas of Expertise

   We, as a family and work team, provide hours of time, money and efforts towards raising money for different organizations.  Some of the orginizations that we support are Toys for Tots, several different soccer teams, community golf program, Wishes for Children.   We also help to fill the cupboards of our local Pantry each season.  

   My husband retired from the communications industry, acquired his real estate and also Brokers license and then joined me in the business.  Our children are both fully immersed in their sports lives. My son is headed off to play golf for Pepperdine in the Fall (2010).   My daughter is at Great Oak Highschool and into club soccer.  

   Dare I forget to add our additional family member....our 12 yr old Yorkie, Sven "Louie" Forss  (not the smartest tool in the shed but loved nonetheless)  

I serve the Inland Empire but to be more specific, I handle Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar, Perris,Hemet, San Jacinot  Menifee, Sun City, Moreno Valley, Anza, Lake Elsinore and areas surrounding, as well as areas that are included in these cities which include De Luz, La Cresta &  Wine Country!   It sounds like a large area but it is all within 20-30 min of my home & office!  

Testimonials

Oh my goodness Lisa, where can I start?  My husband lost his job and that was devastating enough, but then came my illness!  Keeping our home was impossible no matter how hard we tried! We were sick to default on our mortgage and that is the last thing we wanted to do to the bank who was so kind to loan us the money to get our beautiful home. You made our shortsale so smooth and seamless, it's like we were in a regular sale.  I know you had to deal with alot "behind the scenes" but you made us feel better about the guilt that had overcome us.  We are all settled in and loving our new rental place, Josh is back to work (substantially less money but still making it !) and I am on the upward mend.  We are forever grateful!!!   Josh and Amilia, Temecula 

Lisa is our new family member, she really cares about her clients and puts them first.  My husband is a hard to please type sales person himself and even he thinks she is awesome. We have already referred her to 2 friends-  Mike and Emily of Temecula

Mark and I love the Forss team. They got us into the bank owned home of our dreams.  We had an offer in within 1 hour of the home being listed. They stay connected with the listing agent and our needs to the very end! - Mark and Lola Spaniard, Murrieta

Even in a market like this (bank owned and reo competition), you were able to sell our home for what we wanted. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Now we can go be with our grandkids in Tampa Bay! -  Martha and George, Hemet
