From an education perspective, Lisa has just shifted her focus from designing serious games that simulate real-world experiences for students to helping clients make great home-buying decisions in the real world.
Lisa has spent most of her time in the Metro area living and working in Alexandria, Arlington and Washington DC, with a hiatus in Chicago. Before joining Buyer’s Edge, she ran her own education/training development firm. She also has worked in issues management and media training, and somewhere along the line she helped organize and manage a presidential inauguration on Capitol Hill. A native of Virginia and graduate of the University of Virginia, Lisa lives in the Old Town area with her husband and two cats.
TESTIMONIALS
"This review is long overdue, but we wanted to take a minute to say that buying our home with Lisa from Buyer’s Edge was a wonderful experience. We didn’t anticipate the hectic housing market that we would be entering starting in January 2021, and as first-time homebuyers, we were so grateful to have Lisa to explain everything step by step. It took us several offers (10+) to find our home, but Lisa was always so encouraging, and was genuinely excited with us when we were the winning bid! We spent a lot of time with her over the four months of our home search (nearly every weekend) and learned a lot about what to look for (or look out for) and actually got pretty good at being able to decide within minutes if a house was right for us or not. We appreciate all the late nights she spent putting together offers before a review deadline. Lisa also recommended a few mortgage lenders, and we ended up going with one of her recommendations because he was available nearly 24/7 (which was crucial in the crazy housing race), and offered a much better interest rate than what we could get from our bank. After four months of searching, we ended up with the perfect house for us. Even after closing, she helped us set up an inspection and stayed with us through that, and has still been available to answer questions/offer recommendations in our first few months of home ownership. She also gifted us a one-year home warranty, which has offered peace of mind (and has already paid for two repairs), since we purchased an older home. It’s clear that Lisa really cares about finding the right house for her clients and making sure they truly feel at home. We don’t plan on moving any time soon, but if/when that comes around, we’ll be calling Lisa! Thank you, J&P”
“These words of thanks are long overdue for the expertise and guidance we received from your agent. Thanks to Lisa, we now reside in the house of our dreams, in the area we want and all well within our price range.
Lisa was a pleasure to be with on our many outings to view houses and when we had questions she answered them promptly and provided pertinent follow-up information. She was very patient as we often vacillated on the type of house that would provide all that our growing family needed at a price we could afford.
What distinguishes Lisa from other agents we've worked with in the past, was her guidance during the process of making an offer. We are so glad that we took her recommendations during the highly competitive offer process. With out a doubt, she helped us make the best offer and ensured that our interests were never compromised.
There is no question that we will enthusiastically recommend Lisa and your agency to our family members and friends."

TESTIMONIALS
"Lynn S from Buyers Edge was awesome to work with for the purchase of my home. I had a small window of time in which to make a purchase, and after our initial conversation, Lynn was quick to share new listings and to set up walk-throughs. I also appreciated her advice with regard to making an offer and her connection to a great home inspector who was able to give me better insight into the condition of the home. With all that said, I give Lynn my highest recommendation to someone looking to purchase a home."
Client: John M.
“My favorite part of working with Lynn was that the work never stopped for her. Even after helping us close on a home in an extremely competitive market, Lynn was with my family long after closing to provide any assistance needed, including contacting the previous owners about any questions and concerns. She was very thoughtful and considerate of our constraints and always made us feel like more than just a client. Thanks again, Lynn!"
Client: Justin P.
“Working with Lynn from Buyer's Edge made our first home buying experience not only painless (even in a competitive market), but also fun and a memory we will definitely cherish. We never had to think twice about making appointments, exploring different areas, or what the next steps were going to be. We always had an answer to anything we asked right away and Lynn made sure we were well informed, mindful, and were in the best position possible to find our dream home - which we absolutely did!! Thank you, Lynn, and the Buyer's Edge team for making it happen.”
Client: LS
“Lynn was a great agent. She was thorough and responsive to all my questions throughout the buying process, always punctual, and never missed a deadline. She helped out a lot with the inspection and did a good job negotiating with the seller. And she didn’t pressure me to overbid. Would highly recommend her.”
Client: D
“Lynn S was my realtor. She was wonderful. I was a first-time home buyer, so she continually educated me about upcoming steps and my options. She didn’t push when I had not yet saved enough money to close and have my ideal monthly mortgage/PITI payments. She put me in touch with several lenders. I picked one gifted at explaining things succinctly. For months, for my information, she would email me listings that met my search criteria. Houses were sold within days of going on the market! She prepared me by giving good advice: if we were going to physically view a house during this COVID pandemic, I should first calculate my finances and be ready to make an offer that same day. And that’s what happened! Three busy weeks later, we went to closing and I got the keys to my new house. Lynn predicted what would happen every step along the way, informed me of possible worse case scenarios, but always remained positive and reassuring throughout every step in the home buying process.”
Client: LB
"I highly recommend Buyer's Edge! We worked with Lynn and she did an amazing job at managing the entire process. There was a lot we didn't know going into this, but Lynn worked closely with us on every step so that we could make informed decisions. Her experience and knowledge go far beyond the logistics of buying a home as she also has a deep understanding of home maintenance, which was extremely helpful for us. Lynn also has good relationships with several excellent home maintenance professionals and was able to give us lots of recommendations for any work we needed. Even after moving into our new house, she has continued to make herself available for any questions that we have. Lynn is also just a great person to work within general. She is friendly, professional, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond to deliver. In the end, Lynn was able to help us find a place that really checked off all of our boxes. We truly couldn’t be happier with our new home. Thanks, Lynn!"
Client: MC
“We chose to work with Lynn because her attention to her client's needs was obvious during our first conversation with her about the home-buying process. Lynn helped us find several very promising listings and was instrumental in guiding us through the process of making a successful offer on our home. We are grateful for the calming presence Lynn brought to the home buying process and will always remember the ways in which she went above and beyond for us -- arranging a home inspection on very little notice so that we could feel secure in our purchase, repeatedly advocating for us throughout the settlement process, and continuing to serve as a resource well after closing. What separates Lynn from other Realtors is her resourcefulness and deep network. She was able to refer us to other professionals she trusted very quickly. Our experience working with Lynn was nothing but positive. We felt taken care and we owe Lynn so much gratitude for helping us start our new life in our new home. We wholeheartedly recommend Lynn if you are looking to work with a tenacious and competent Buyer's Agent, especially if it's your first time buying a home."
Clients: C & E
“Our thanks to Lynn , Stephen Israel and Buyer's Edge. Purchasing a home in the middle of Covid days led to many unexpected hoops and their assistance in helping us maneuver through this was appreciated beyond words. Finding the right home was the easy part as Lynn listened to our desires from day one. The behind the scenes is what closed the deal and for this we are most grateful. With a team solely focused on their buyers wants and needs we wholeheartedly recommend Buyers Edge without reservation.”
Client: JL
“This was out first time buying a house -- and we were lucky enough to have Lynn Spiegel serve as our trusted guide. Buying a house has it's fair share of anxiety, but Lynn's dedication, her attention to detail, and desire to truly help us find our dream home eased the process -- and dare I say, made it fun. More than anything, we really appreciated not feeling pushed or rushed into any decision. And when we were closing in on a decision, Lynn was there, as others have mentioned, available to answer our questions on weekends and after hours. We definitely will be keeping Lynn (and her trusted contractors) in our back pocket!”
Client: SS
“We were very happy to have Lynn guide us through the process of finding and buying our first home. She always replied very quickly to our calls and texts, and made herself available on short notice. Her experience and professionalism were evident in all our interactions. We really appreciated her patience and knowledge when touring house after house. When the perfect place came along, Lynn moved the process along nicely making us feel well taken care of. We would wholeheartedly recommend Lynn as an agent for new and experienced buyers.”
Client: GB
“As first-time home buyers, we set out to homebuying with little knowledge of the entire process. Lynn Spiegel guided us through the process and made sure everything went smoothly until we found and bought our dream home. Lynn is very dedicated and passionate about her profession. From the very beginning she was very attentive to specific needs we had and was always available to answer our questions even in weekends and after hours. She was also available on very short notice to go and see the houses we were interested in. When viewing houses her attention to detail and in depth knowledge of real estate helped us make informed decisions. Lynn has excellent knowledge of the area including schools, accessibility to transport and proximity to shopping complexes. We would highly recommend Lynn for anyone looking for houses in the DMV area. Thank you Lynn.”
Client: BS
"I decided to seek out a buyers agent and my husband and I had the pleasure of working with Lynn when searching for a condo in North Bethesda to call home. Lynn is very responsive, and energetic and put together a contract quickly when we toured a condo the first day on the market that we knew we wanted. I highly recommended Lynn and Buyer's Edge to help you in your search for a home or condo. She is also well connected and has great referrals for lenders, inspectors and home warranty companies."
Client: TK
"My wife and I worked and Lynn from Buyers Edge to purchase our first home. Lynn has been absolutely fantastic. She patiently took us to see quite a few properties we bookmarked, helped us through our decision, and got us from viewing to closing within 23 days. She was quick to respond to any help, always available, and a great resource altogether. I can't recommend the brokerage or Lynn herself highly enough!"
Client: DT
"My husband and I felt so lucky to have Lynn from Buyers Edge by our side! As first time home buyers, she made the process easy, and was with us every step of the way. Thanks to Lynn, we were able to find and purchase our perfect first home. Working with Lynn was a pleasure, and if you are in the market for a home, I would strongly suggest using her as your agent."
Client: C .
"I cannot imagine why someone buying a home would work with anyone else! Someone looking out for the buyer's interest-eased my worries. Fabulous!"
Client: A
"I bought my house with the Buyer’s Edge team by my side. Lynn S was with me every step of my way through the intimidating process of buying a home - all 6 months of it. She was patient, informative, and always available (literally, an email or a phone call away) for any of my questions or requests. She made the whole process easy, handling all the “gotcha’s” - and did everything she could to make sure I was happy with my purchase before closing. This is a fantastic team and fantastic company. The amount of attention, care, and time they give to their clients is impressive and admirable. These are by far the people to call if you’re in the market to buy."
Client: DT
”I purchased property with Lynn from Buyers Edge. So many things can go wrong during the buying process. Lynn made sure I was always protected. I would not purchase real property without a Buyers Edge realtor looking out for my rights/needs!! What a great experience! This is the way to go!”
Client: J
"Lynn did a great job throughout the whole process. Very responsive and knowledgeable about the area. I would definitely recommend her to anyone."
Client: CM
Stephen brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience gained through years of renovating properties both overseas and in the U.S. Raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Stephen moved first to England and then Germany where he continued his education. While there he began helping friends renovate their apartments and found that he loved working with his hands and had a natural ability to completely change the appearance and function of their small city dwellings. When he eventually moved to the U.S it was abundantly clear that his new career in the States would have to involve carpentry and renovation.
Stephen has spent the last twenty-five years investing, designing and renovating older homes throughout the DC metro area. His years of hands-on experience have given him a seasoned eye when it comes to evaluating properties. When you combine Stephen's level of expertise with his intimate knowledge of the Washington DC metro real estate market, you have a situation that’s a win-win for homebuyers. "I have always placed my client's interest first and I look forward to delivering a satisfying and personalized home buying experience.
TESTIMONIALS
“My wife and I can't say enough good things about our experience with Stephen M. The house we bought more or less fell into our laps--it wasn't listed, so there were no open house marathons, no competitions w/ other potential buyers, and no escalation clause hellscapes--but the rest of it, from walkthrough/inspection to closing (and beyond: Stephen has also helped us find contractors) went as smoothly and painlessly as I think it could have. And we attribute that to Stephen. We hope to be in this house for a while, but if our plans change, we wouldn't hesitate to call Stephen again. In addition to being savvy and knowledgeable, he is otherwise a pleasure to be around. We felt like we had a friend in Stephen as much as an agent."
Happy Homebuyer Client: M.F.
”We were so lucky to have Stephen M. as our real estate agent during our house hunt in D.C. We were buying a house from a different state, which meant communication was absolutely paramount in an incredibly competitive market (height of the pandemic house hunting craze). Stephen was always extremely prompt in replying and was able to set aside entire weekends for us to tour when we came down.
As first-time home buyers, we were in way over our heads and Stephen helped us through every step of the process. He was always patient and kind in answering all of our questions and very flexible even as we continued to change our criteria. Stephen's biggest value-add is his exceptional knowledge of construction and materials, helping us identify big and small things that are essential for any home buyer but especially those looking for their first home. We always knew we were in good hands and felt confident choosing the home we purchased. Even after the purchase, Stephen checked in to make sure everything was working and still answers are occasional questions as we try to learn about how to take care of a house! We recommend Stephen to anyone who asks.”
Client A.H.
“Although I carefully researched buyer’s agents in the Washington, DC area and Stephen M. recommendations were stellar, you still don’t know who you might get, hiring an expert on the Internet. I was more than pleasantly surprised; I was thrilled! Stephen is personable, organized, and knows the DC real estate market well. Thanks to his contracting background, he also knows exactly what to look for in a property to determine actual value, as opposed to list price, and pride of ownership, details I might not have noticed nor given much weight to. His operation runs so smoothly because he works with the same people - property inspector, title company, etc. - on every sale. Only 31 days from our initial Zoom conversation to closing escrow. I highly recommend Stephen and would work with him again in a minute!”
Client: J
“Stephen M. from Buyer's Edge Company, Inc. helped us with finding a home in Silver Spring during the peak of the seller's market season in April 2021. He was instrumental in getting us educated in the current market conditions and we are very thankful for it. His local knowledge of Silver Spring and surrounding locations and his background in construction has been very valuable for us in finding an older house with a lot of charm and pride of ownership. Right from submitting the offer to all the way to closing, he was proactively providing the right information to keep us informed. He made sure there was efficient communication between all the parties involved in the transaction. We are happy to have worked with Stephen and will do so again in the future if we need to.”
Client: RS
“My wife and I worked with Stephen M. t hi hoo buy our first house when the market was absolutely crazy. He was very knowledgeable when it came to pros and cons of every part of a house as we walked through it and we learned so much every time we saw another house with him.
He was able to see houses with us often on a day or even less than a days notice due to the competitive nature of the market. We changed our criteria multiple times as we looked for houses but ended up in the perfect house for us after he helped us put in an offer that was just right to win against multiple other offers. I’d highly recommend working with him as a first time or a long time homeowner.”
Client: Nick M.
"I was so fortunate to work with Stephen M. at Buyer's Edge. It was such a tough market and his relentlessness was essential. I thought I knew the market, both price and neighborhoods, but Stephen knows so many of the specifics and details that he was able to find the exact niche for me. More than that, because of his background as a contractor, Stephen was able to identify any potential issues with the houses I saw, the potential for upcoming repairs etc. Finally, Stephen and Buyer's Edge were able to connect me with a great lender and settlement company which made the process smooth from beginning to end. But best of all, no matter how tough it can be to buy a house in this market, having a friend on your side makes it easy."
Client: Patrick C.
"I have heard so many horror stories of people have really negative experiences with either buying or selling a home simply because their real estate agent was subpar. My wife Ellen and I were first time home buyers and we wanted to make sure that we had a good real estate agent that would help make this process as stress free as possible. We were recommended to Stephen M. through my wife's coworker. Back in June, we had a one hour zoom call where we both got to ask some questions and get a feel for how a relationship might work. We immediately got a sense that Stephen was the right real estate agent for us. I imagine we were one of his more challenging clients, as we viewed 50-60 homes over 3 or so months. Stephen was always accommodating to Ellen and I's work schedules and made sure we got to see every home we wanted. The process was long but honestly I can't imagine it having gone any smoother than it did. I very rarely write reviews for anything but honestly Stephen and his team have my highest recommendation for anyone looking to purchase a home. Thanks again Stephen for all of your hard work, persistence, and dedication to not let us give up on our dream when things were looking bleak! Cheers, Andrew"
Client: Andrew T.
“My husband and I found Stephen M. to be exceptionally helpful in guiding us toward finding our home! He was incredibly patient (it took us 18 months to find what we wanted) and consistently gave us the message that there was no rush and that he was invested in helping us find the right property. One of the things that set him apart was his knowledge of all things related to house construction, carpentry, utilities, etc. His background as a professional contractor was a huge advantage. As a result of this knowledge and experience, my husband and I felt like Stephen did a kind of inspection “screening” at every house we looked at! We also appreciated his extensive knowledge of the metro DC real estate market—that really helped us narrow down areas that would be a good fit for us. Probably most importantly, we found Stephen to be so easy to work with, given his warm, genuine demeanor and responsiveness. In short we highly recommend him!!
I hope all is well with you and your family, Stephen. Is it weird for me to say that we miss you?️”
Client: Denise and Chad M.
“Stephen M. yeah I don't need to gofrom Buyer's Edge was great! He guided us through the home-buying process in a very competitive market, giving us valuable advice that was instrumental in us buying a great home below asking price.”
Client: Jorge C.
"Whether it’s your tenth home or your first (like us), you can’t go wrong hiring Stephen Mercer from Buyer’s Edge. He provides everything you would expect from an agent- prompt responses to all text messages and emails, knowledge of the market, ability to explain the complexities of buying a home in simple terms, etc.
However, what sets Stephen M. I guess I do need to go yeah never mind I forgot the other end yeah OK I gotta goapart was his background in contracting work, his ethics, and his genuine kindness.
Each time we met with him we felt we learned something new on how to spot a good home, and maintain one after buying. He allowed us to develop our own taste and never steered us in a direction just to close a deal. He takes his role as an *exclusive* buyer’s agent seriously. We toured about 15 homes with Stephen Mercer before we found “the one” and we felt absolutely confident in our decisions. This was hugely influenced by what he had taught us along the way.
Stephen M. also has a slew of mortgage lenders, settlement attorneys, and others that he has worked with for decades. They all worked together like a well-oiled machine and processed our paperwork seamlessly. We always knew we were in good hands with Stephen’s recommendations.
We were by no means his biggest sale, but he made us feel like his only clients. He took time to move his schedule around when a house just hit the market. He came up with bidding strategies that kept us competitive in multi-bid situations. He followed up to ensure we understood everything he explained during the tours. He even came back to our house after buying it to help us do a quick-fix on one of our windows. We really feel like we struck gold when we hired him and ended up with a home that greatly exceeded our expectations in the competitive DMV market.
Besides all that, Stephen M. is truly hilarious and kind. Someone you want to be around and can trust to help you with big decisions. We feel like we gained a friend throughout the process and can’t recommend him enough!"
Client: Sierra L.
"Our experience with Buyer's Edge was very positive. We had the pleasure of working with Stephen M. in the process of seeking our new home. He was very helpful in the process as he clearly possessed a thorough understanding of homes and the specific related to their construction. He was easily able to point out things to us that we should be wary of as well as things that were very good about the different homes we viewed. He also worked very hard to ensure that we got the best possible deal on the house we decided on. He listened closely to all of our thoughts, comments and concerns and made sure they were all addressed. he also clearly walked us through the entire process. This was my first time buying a home and I was very glad to have his help in navigating this process. If we are ever in the market again, we will definitely look up Buyer's Edge again. Thanks again Steve for your help!"
Client: Jed S.
“We worked with Stephen M. to buy our home in Bethesda, MD. We were introduced to Stephen by one of his past clients and couldn’t have asked for more as our buyer’s agent. He was not only informed about the neighborhoods we we’re interested in and housing trends in the area but, being a former contractor, had a keen eye for quality and not-so-quality builds, repairs, and upkeep. We learned so much walking through and around houses with him! Who knew that window trims should be wrapped to make them last, and indicated extra care in home construction/maintenance?! All that learning translated into us making truly informed decisions on our home purchase. We appreciated his knowledge, responsiveness, flexibility, thoughtful analyses, professionalism, advocacy for our interests, and good humor. He was also a counselor of sort for us when we missed out on opportunities. When we were dealing with our disappointments, he’d say that we’ll find even a better home that is meant for us. And he was right! We had a lot of anxiety over the past months with our relocation. With Stephen’s help, at least our home buying experience was productive, efficient, and even pleasant. Thank you, Stephen! We wouldn’t be where we are without you.”
Client: Junie K.
"Stephen M. made buying our first home in an unfamiliar city as easy and stress free as I could have imagined. He was exceedingly knowledgeable about every aspect of the process, from evaluating homes through the lens of a contractor to helping with the banking aspect of making the purchase. He never once pressured us to make a decision or hurry the process, and we felt confident that he had our best interest at heart. Lastly, it is worth noting that he always accommodated our schedule requests, which were erratic at best. (We had to make the move in <4 weeks and were doing so from quite a distance away.) Working with Stephen was akin to having a close family member who knows the ins-and-outs of home buying advise you along every steps of the process. I can say without reservation that I would recommend him to anyone in need of a friendly, unbiased, and knowledgable buyer's agent - he was fantastic!"
Client: Kelly and Coursen S.
"So many things about buying a home are stressful, overwhelming, and scary, especially if it’s the first time. Lucky for us, we had Stephen M. to guide us reassuringly through the chaos. Stephen is not only a great real estate agent, but he also understands that the decision to buy a home is an emotional one. He is thorough, smart, patient, and funny. He is discerning and critical while also being supportive and positive. Our search for our first home had a few bumps and snags, but Stephen never doubted that we would find what we were looking for. When we found the perfect house for our growing family, he expertly advised us on how to make the best offer in a very competitive market. The best part about our journey with Stephen was that it didn’t end when we signed the closing documents. He recommended a reliable contractor to do renovations, and he checked in regularly to ensure we were getting what we paid for. He was genuinely interested in making sure we settled in, and he was crucial in helping us navigate a basement flood after a freak storm. Stephen was so much more than our real estate agent. He was our advocate, our mentor, our advisor, and our friend. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone buying a home."
Client: Ethan & Lauren
"We had such a wonderful experience working with Stephen M. Stephen has an incredibly thorough and perceptive eye for detail, noticing so much about the outside and inside of home that, as first-time homebuyers, we would never have considered. With twenty-five years of experience as a contractor, he is uniquely suited to identifying potential problems and also noticing real potential. Stephen’s ideas about remodeling are clever and creative—there were many occasions on which we were amazed that he could think of how to move a countertop or install cabinets in such a way as to make the most of a space. His knowledge of renovation is really impressive, and he is always thinking about the big picture—he guided us through every aspect of the purchase process, from thinking through neighborhoods to closing and moving in. We always felt confident that he was in our corner, working exclusively with buyers and looking out for our best interests—and we can’t imagine finding another realtor who knows as much about home maintenance and remodeling, able to give such expert and detailed advice. Stephen is a generous person, available to show and take the time to really investigate a home—and it really was a pleasure work with him: he is fun to be around and makes the whole process enjoyable. We would recommend him to anyone."
Client: Melanie and Scott
"We came to Stephen M. after a disappointing experience with a realtor who was not an exclusive buyer's agent. Stephen's approach was different from the first meeting, throughout the process and even after we bought the house. He was there for us every step of the way. With care, patience and professionalism he helped us navigate the different stages of the process."
Client: Eyal & Pazit A.
"During the transaction, Stephen learned as much as he could about me and my needs. I was unfamiliar with the DC market and relied on Stephen’s knowledge of neighborhoods, investment properties, and construction quality. His best asset was the instinct for and ability to find the right property for me. Stephen put in long hours reviewing listings to identify those that might be of interest to me. Furthermore, as a property investor himself, Stephen was able to advise me on good investments.
Stephen has a number of strengths, including confidence, dependability, patience, and creativity. He has extensive knowledge of real estate construction, investments, and the DC market. His main strength, though, is courage. When the going got tough, Stephen rolled up his sleeves, counseled me, and held the deal together. I respected his opinions, knowledge, and intuition and closed a difficult deal under tight deadlines. I now have a wonderful home in a great neighborhood, a successful rental property, and a good friend."
Client: Laura H.
”We are very happy with our buying experience working with Stephen M! We started off not knowing exactly what we were looking for, and by touring several homes with Stephen we learned a great deal and really narrowed down our search and found the perfect home for us in a great location. Stephen's knowledge of housing construction, renovation and repairs, as well as his experience negotiating as a buyer's agent were immensely helpful in arriving at a terrific buy! We would recommend working with Stephen Mercer to anyone looking for a new home.”
Client: Stefan S.
“I had a great buying experience with Stephen M. I was a first time home buyer and Stephen was an absolute pro as we visited dozens of properties.
His experience was extremely helpful. Stephen pointed out so much beyond if a unit was nice. He would highlight nice features, risks, and just things I never would have known to check out (like ventilation over the microwaves!)
I am approaching 1-month in my new condo and I am thanking Stephen every day I get home! I can not recommend Stephen enough, he is charming you're looking for a charming to work with, informed, and patient. (Thanks Stephen!!!)”
