About Lisa Ellis

Real Estate Agent (26 years experience) I have lived in North Carolina my whole life and feel so fortunate to have been born and raised in such a fabulous State. I am from Durham and love my home town. I am so proud of the change that has occurred in the past 10 years that is making Durham a destination for foodies, educational nerds, culture junkies and nature lovers alike. We have it all here in my great State and I love sharing my knowledge and experiences with those who are choosing North Carolina to be their new home State. I have traveled all over the world and am always in awe of the beautiful places and amazing people that inhabit this great planet we live on. However, there is just no place like North Carolina that beats our 4 seasons, our rich soils, our access to pristine beaches, lush mountain ranges, unparalleled health care and education. Whenever I go away, I am always ready to come back home to the Triangle area where I live with my son, Cooper and our 2 French bull dogs, Axel and Ella. I have been helping Buyers and Sellers across the area since 1996. I love what I do and enjoy each day that I get to wake up, go to work and help people achieve their real estate goals. I have a giving personality and it brings me joy to help educate, motivate and inspire others to realize their dreams of homeownership, investment, upsizing, downsizing and really just all things real estate. Over the years I have organized a great team that helps bring value to our customers lives with their services and talents as well. We all believe in the core value of putting the clients needs first and helping them achieve their goals. Our passion is helping others and making their transitions to and from a home, buying or selling property, a smooth and painless process through experience and consistent communication. Put us to work for you and find out what it means to become "one of the family". We look forward to serving you real estate needs and exceeding your expectations.

As first-time buyers handling everything remotely, we were initially overwhelmedaEUR"but Lisa Ellis changed that. She's incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and took the time to really understand our needs. Lisa guided us through virtual tours, answered countless questions, and helped us feel confident in our decisions. After our offer was accepted, she managed logistics around our visit for inspections, and later even coordinated plumbing and painting work post-close. Lisa is thorough, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients. We felt completely supported from beginning to end.

Lisa and her team are wonderful! She helped us to buy *and* sell a home recently. She was a consummate professional and knew the market very well. We were able to achieve the ideal scenario of selling above list and buying below list. Lisa and her team were helpful throughout the process and even afterwards, as we sought out contractors and and people to help us make our new home more like "us." We highly recommend her services to anyone in the triangle area. You won't regret it!

Lisa is a wonderful realtor. It's very easy to work with Lisa and her team. Lisa's knowledge and experience are outstanding! She was extremely efficient. She and her entire team worked so hard to get the house on the market within 2 weeks. The house was under contract in a week after listing!!! We are so happy that we had Lisa to help us and represent us. We highly recommend her to anyone who is planning to sell or buy a house. Give her a try and you will be as happy as we are.

Lisa is excellent! She is always available by phone and text if needed. She has helped us both buy and sell. Originally, we were first time home buyers, and she made the process easy and simple. Then, we had such a great experience, that we sold a house with her as well. She has a great team that is highly skilled and responsive. If we buy or sell in the triangle area in the future, we will work with her. No questions asked.
