Lisa and her team are absolutely amazing to work with. Throughout the entire process Lisa was extremely helpful and responsive, she was willing to meet or answer questions any time of day, any day of the week and handled everything she possibly could have so I didn't have to. Honestly treated my goal to find the right house like it was her own. Can’t say enough good things, seriously made my first home purchase easier than I ever thought it would be.

We recently purchased a home with the help of Lisa Gillis of The Gillis Team, Merrill L Thomas, Inc. Lisa was amazing. She was helpful, kind, and willing throughout the entire process. She made sure she understood our “needs” and our “wants” in our future home. Once we found it, she was with us every step along the way, communicating promptly with us, the sellers, and the attorneys, patiently calming my nerves throughout. Even after our sale closed, she remained very willing to help with information about local services and contact information for local contractors.
I would highly recommend The Gillis Team, and especially Lisa, to anyone looking to purchase in… read full review
My wife and I started working with Lisa in April 2026 to prepare for selling our home in Tupper Lake. From day one, she was steady, patient, and incredibly reliable. She guided us through every step, kept us informed, and made sure we fully understood our options. Our house sold in less than two weeks. Lisa worked hard to bring us the best offers and never hesitated to advocate for what we wanted. We’re truly grateful for her dedication and for helping us move confidently into our next chapter.
