Elizabeth’s style is decidedly down to earth: Her life as an educator prior to real estate is evident in each of the hundreds of transactions she’s helped clients with over the years. She excels at taking complex elements and making them approachable. This skill is probably why some of her best friends now, were once brand new clients. Her father was a real estate professional and she is proud to be one too.

• Real Estate License earned in 2005

Fun Fact:

When helping Spencer move, Elizabeth came across Spencer’s old hiking boots. She had the same old pair! Some say our ‘soles’ united. We got married wearing our matching boots!
