Elizabeth has been in the real estate industry since 1994 as a Realtor and as a Certified Residential Appraiser. Her real estate business specializes in new home construction. While searching for a new home for her family, Elizabeth grew frustrated with the homes offered by builders in the market area. She found that most builders were building uninteresting home plans from the same architect pool. The designs lacked imagination and the building materials lacked longevity and character. Not wanting a typical colonial, she wanted something different. Something that would spark curiosity from the curbside. A house that would make you want to explore. Two common themes Elizabeth sees in the hundreds of homes she tours a year in her real estate practice are Thomas Kinkade and Disney. One day on an appraisal, she was chatting with a homeowner about a Thomas Kinkade painting hanging on their wall. The owner stated they dreamed of owning a home like the one in the painting. Apparently, Elizabeth wasn't the only one wanting something different.
