Growing up, Elise was constantly around real estate, there was no escaping it. With a realtor as a mother, Elise helped with listings, set up open house signs, and accompanied her on home previews for clients, and more. From an early age, Elise noticed the profound impact that buying and selling homes had on people, it’s a major life moment filled with emotion, complexity, and opportunity. She was drawn to how meaningful the work could be, helping people navigate change, build stability, and take the next step toward their goals. Always wanting to have a positive impact on others’ lives, Elise ultimately chose to continue her family legacy in real estate.
Elise attended Sacramento State University where she earned her B.S. in Business Administration and competed in Division 1 soccer. After finishing college soccer, Elise missed the structure and challenge of training and competing. She set a goal: to run a marathon, channeling the same grit and competitiveness she honed on the soccer field into her training. That journey led her to run the Boston Marathon—an experience that not only deepened her love for endurance sports, but also reshaped her sense of what’s possible with focus and determination. It’s a mindset she brings to her real estate career as well: setting big goals, staying disciplined, and supporting her clients every step of the way, with the same determination.
