About Lisa
I've spent over two decades in Ellicott City and the greater Howard County area — not just selling homes, but building relationships that last long after the closing table.
My approach is simple: listen first, advise honestly, and work harder than anyone expects. When you list with me, you get a marketer, negotiator, and advocate — all in one. When you buy with me, you get someone who will show you homes that actually fit your life, not just the ones on the market.
I'm a proud member of the Long & Foster Real Estate network, serving communities from Columbia to Howard County's most sought-after neighborhoods.
