Meet the Team

Lisa Sanford, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Speckman Realty

My mission is to be used by God to assist clients with their real estate needs. I feel blessed to help people with their real estate needs since 1984. I chose to move to Kankakee County from Park Ridge in 1983 and have lived in various communities.  I live with my husband Walter live on the Kankakee River in the Kankakee Historic District.

Walter manages our high-quality investment properties located throughout Kankakee County, Illinois. Together, we have two adult married daughters: Abby & Ryan and Meredith & Clint. 

Whether you are a buyer or a seller, I am willing to put my years of real estate experience to work for you. The relationships I have built with my team of other Realtors, appraisers, lenders, surveyors, contractors, local government offices, title companies, home inspectors, and attorneys will all aid to make your experience as smooth as possible.

Some of my volunteer efforts include helping with the Pregnancy Resource Center, School Board member at Grace Christian Academy, and Board member of Kankakee Regional Land Bank Authority. My hobbies include tennis, pickleball, gardening and anything outdoors.


I feel blessed to have a passion for helping people with their real estate needs. You may call me at 815-922-6924 or email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to discuss your goals and implement a plan to achieve your goals.
