About Liz
Liz is not just a VA licensed RealtorĀ® and an experienced commercial real estate attorney. She is a former U.S. diplomat and long-time Arlington resident. This gives her the skills and perspective to help you navigate the complex world of buying or selling a home in Northern Virginia. Itā€™s whatā€™s enabled her to represent over 160 clients through over $155M in transactions since 2016. Liz was the #10 solo agent (based on sales volume) in 2023 out of 1,800+ Compass agents in the DMV.

Through Liz's experience as a commercial real estate attorney, she learned the importance of contracts and honed her drafting and negotiation skills on multi-million dollar deals. Negotiating a good and sound deal in real estate takes knowledge, skill, and finesse. She delivers all of that to you whether you are buying or selling.

Liz has lived in Arlington for over 20 years renting and owning properties from Rosslyn, to Courthouse, to Ballston, to Barcroft, to Donaldson Run/Lee Heights. During that time, she went from being a 20-something singleton to married without kids, to married with two kids in school. In each phase, she came to appreciate how different neighborhoods can satisfy different needs in terms of commute, schools, access to services and facilities. Finding the right home is the centerpiece of this.

Liz is here to work for you. To be your tireless advocate + expert, always keeping your best interests at the forefront.

"Liz recently helped us sell our house and provided excellent advice in what and how to set up our property. She was professional, timely, and knowledgeable with the current market and was able to assist us with selling our property for a great price. I would definitely choose her again the next time I buy/sell a house."

"We had an outstanding experience working with Liz and highly recommend her to others. We benefited greatly from her expertise and guidance, which navigated us through the successful sale of our home as first-time sellers. Lizā€™s successful stewardship of our home sale took place amid the additional complications of a pandemic and an overseas move for us. It never felt long-distance as her communication and availability always kept us fully in the loop regardless of distance and time zones. In addition to her real estate expertise, Liz has outstanding communication skills and constantly kept us updated, or was readily available to answer any questions."

"Liz helped us buy a home while we were living overseas. She was incredibly communicative, super knowledgeable about the process and negotiations, and helped us find and close on a house in record time. We highly recommend her!"

"Liz was fabulous. We were distance buyers and she quickly gained our trust - walking through homes and pointing out the important details we needed to know but could easily have missed on a virtual tour. She was flexible in meeting our different time zone needs and always responsive. We had confidence in her opinion and knew she thoroughly represented our interests. She goes above and beyond - representing you like she would represent herself if she were buying a home. Highly recommend Liz and will use her again when the time comes to buy or sell a home in Virginia."

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Liz was incredibly helpful with our new home purchase. She is very organized and knowledgeable. She made sure we had all the necessary information and documentation prior to deadlines. We purchased our home site unseen and she was able to do a video walk-through of the house and was able to communicate with us as necessary via Facetime or skype."
