My wife and I can highly recommend Lindsay Hart without reservation. If we have a need for a realtor in the future, we will call Lindsay. Last June, we drove to the Finger Lakes region from out of state in search of some investment properties. We ended up purchasing two properties for short-term vacation rentals and a lake home for ourselves. Before the trip, we contacted several area realtors, and we selected Lindsay over the others based on her sales record, her knowledge of the market, and our interactions with her during a Zoom session. She listened to us and immediately focused on our needs. She was the only realtor who took concrete steps to help us even before our conversation ended. We had concerns that if we selected a realtor who was the head of a team, we would spend our time working with an associate instead of the person we had chosen. Lindsay assured us that she would be the one to work with us, and she was true to her word. We spent several days working with her during an intense two-week period. She was extremely professional and fun to work with. She continued to work in the evenings and early mornings in search of new listings to show us. Our experience with Lindsay was great.

Lindsay was amazing and so kind and patient with us as we made the difficult decision to list our home that has been in our family for a hundred years. she was honest and so helpful. I would highly recommend her and will list with her again in the future!
TP
A very positive experience with Lindsay. There were a couple of negotiations along the way that needed the expertise of a professional. Ultimately I got a better deal as a result of positive and proactive communication (from Lindsay).

I would have to say Lindsay was great, she helped me put the house on the market and the property sold fast.

Lindsay was very active and effective in listing and selling our small commercial property. She was usually responsive to inquiries and supportive during a variety of hiccups. The attorney she recommended to us did not turn out to be either responsive or active and seemed to create situations of delay or controversy with the buyers - but Lindsay was an excellent "diplomat" for us to move things forward. It was a pleasure to work with her.

Lindsay worked with me for a year befor I finally found a home I purchased!
Made the experience of buying a home easy and understandable thank you !

Lindsay has worked with us since 2010 on the sale and purchase of several properties. When my son and his wife began their search for their first time home, I recommended that they contact her. If you are looking for an agent that will listen to you, assist you in finding and purchasing a property that fulfills your wants and needs, and help you understand the process if you are a first time home buyer, then you should contact Lindsay.
TM
Lindsay and her team have incredible knowledge in the details of real estate buying and selling. They also care about the people they are working with and actively listen to what people are looking for. This combination makes them the ones to work with for sure!

We spent four years searching for the right lake house on Cayuga Lake, and Lindsay was the steady hand we needed—knowledgeable, patient, and relentless. She taught us the market, positioned us to win, and always put our interests first. We continue to stay in touch and would absolutely work with her again. She was terrific!
RT
As is widely suggested, we had interviewed multiple agents, and where others dwelled on reasons someone would discount our house, you instinctively visualized who our buyer would be. Where others suggested a much lower price, you helped us find the market price -- as evidence, a house we saw as competition and originally listed for $75K higher, ended selling for essentially the same price we did, but took much longer. Our friends were amazed that we were under contract in 10 days. Your confidence and targeted, joyful marketing made the process efficient and (as much as is possible) stress free. You were there for us in the minor rough spots, and took us to a satisfactory finish line.

Lindsay was absolutely amazing to work with! We were buying a home in Ithaca from out of state and she made it so easy for us. She went above and beyond to visit properties, send us videos and pictures and giving us her knowledgable opinion. We ended up finding the perfect place for us. I cannot say enough great things about how wonderful it was to work with Lindsay!
JG
Thank you so much for all you did in selling our brothers house! When you took the listing I could breathe a little easier knowing I didn't have to worry about all the little and big things that go with selling a house. Living so far from the property was a headache for us and knowing you were there to handle details was an amazing bonus for us. Your knowledge of the area and local property values and worth enabled us to realistically see its value. We would never have been able to complete this sale without you!
JC
Lindsay made our experience easy and positive. She communicated with us regularly so we knew what to expect and she went above and beyond my expectations for supporting us through the process of our sale. I highly recommend working with Lindsay.
MT
The best part about going through a difficult process is having a professional at the helm who never fails to maintain a positive outlook. Lindsay helped us sell two houses at the same time. We faced several daunting challenges, some stemming from a steady stream of bureaucratic blunders and delays. Every time we connected, I felt like she was in it with me and exuded confidence that in time, this would go the way we wanted it to go. We are grateful. Thank you for your excellent service and your many kindnesses to help us weather every storm.

Lindsay was recommended to me by a close friend and I was so grateful! My brother had just passed on and I needed someone with a high level of professionalism, and experience and Lindsay
had it all! She was compassionate & understanding of the circumstances and went above & beyond to handle the sale for our family!

Lindsay Hart is as skillful as a relator could be, our evaluation is based on the experience of having
4 prior house sales. She led us through the process from listing our house to presenting it, and
guiding us with the offers we received to the final sale with intelligence and grace. Who knew real
estate transactions could be this easy.
She's the best. Michael and Caroline

Over the years, between our own frequent moves and helping aging parents my wife and I have participated in nine domestic real estate transactions. Having worked with several fine agents Lindsay tops the list. She is energetic, excited about her profession, knows her business, is tech savvy, and “does her business right.” She responded quickly to our concerns and is honest. Working with her was a joy. She expertly marketed our home and in just a week produced a sale price significantly higher than the asking price. Personable and caring, during our open house she even gave our geriatric cat “some love.” When considering a real estate transaction do your due diligence and interview a few agents. Be sure to include Lindsay and your choice will be obvious.

A good friend recommended Lindsay to us, and we are so grateful we had her by our side as we
looked to purchase our first home. Lindsay was very knowledgeable and responsive, and was always
available to answer our many questions with patience and humor. She gave great advice when we
asked for it, but didn't push us. Lindsay made us feel comfortable and listened to, and made a
stressful process fun. She is truly the best and we'll be recommending her to everyone we know
who is looking to buy or sell a home in the Ithaca/Trumansburg areas. Thank you, Lindsay, for
helping us find our wonderful home!

Can't thank Lindsay enough for her kindness, patience, expertise and professionalism throughout the process of selling my childhood homes.
CM
Lindsay is personable and responsive. I am from the area but now located on the West Coast and she engaged in a search over a few years to find something that suited as a vacation / retirement spot. Lindsay would head out to some odd houses and send me videos complete with commentary that would have me chuckling and making a quick determination. Flexible, good sense of humor and smart.
SH
Lindsay was wonderful to work with. She is professional, efficient, and made the selling process seamless. She is great at communication and gave us updates throughout the entire process.

Lindsay was a delight to work with! As a new buyer in New York State moving from Pennsylvania, she was a wealth of knowledge on the intricacies of purchasing a home in NY. She was easy to talk to, informative, and helped us move fast when we found our home - giving us a huge leg-up in the process.
I would highly recommend working with her!

Lindsay was a dream to work with! We weren't from from area at all and she was so welcoming and accommodating to everything we needed, especially with COVID and us living 3 hours away. Lindsay was extremely prompt in her responses to first time anxious homebuyers (us lol) She has given excellent recommendations even after closing. I highly recommend Lindsay Hart to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area
TP
Lindsay was very attentive and did a great job with helping me with the sale of my house. She also did a great job of talking me through a lot of my questions and concerns. Very highly recommended!
