Meet Elizabeth

Thank you for stopping by! As a lifelong resident of the North Carolina Triangle, I’ve spent years living and working in Northern Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough. My deep roots in the community—from raising three children in the Orange County School System to becoming a local "empty-nester" with my dog, Blue—give me a unique perspective on the transitions my clients face.

Whether you are interested in moving to beautiful and historic Hillsborough, NC, exploring 55+ active adult communities, or pursuing your own dream of North Carolina lake living, I offer the hyperlocal expertise you need. In 2022, I realized my own dream of owning a house on the water when I moved to Mayo Lake in Roxboro, and I love helping others navigate the specific nuances of waterfront property and "buffer zone" regulations.

My background in pharmaceutical project management and preschool administration means I approach real estate with a process-oriented, "can-do" attitude. I specialize in multi-tasking and strategic prioritizing to ensure your real estate experience is organized, smooth, and worry-free.

I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and help with your real estate needs across the Triangle and our beautiful local lakes!
