About Elise..As a third-generation Coloradan who grew up among the pines of Evergreen and now calls Thornton home, I bring deep local roots and real-life perspective to every real estate move. After serving as a Managing Broker, I’m back to doing what I love most—working one-on-one with buyers and sellers to make the process feel exciting, supported, and surprisingly fun.
I’m a mom of four, with a brand-new teenager on one end and a full-fledged “three-nager” on the other, so I understand how quickly life changes and how important it is to have a home that fits every season. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating across the Front Range, I’m here to listen first, advocate fiercely, and guide you through each step with clarity and calm.
When I’m not touring homes or negotiating contracts, you’ll probably find me trying a new restaurant, playing pickleball, cheering at a sporting event, or with my nose in a romantasy novel. I’m also a big country music fan (truly, I’ll sing along to almost anything) and love connecting with clients over great food, good music, and favorite books.
If you’re looking for a local agent who knows the Denver metro and foothills, understands busy family life, and believes buying or selling a home should feel like an upgrade in every way, I’d love to be your go-to resource in real estate.

YOUR PASSIONATE LOCAL
ADVOCATE
For more than 15 years, I've proudly called this vibrant community my home. It's where I’ve raised my family and forged meaningful connections with neighbors, local business owners, and community leaders who share a passion for our town's growth and well-being.
My bond with this area runs deep; I’m not just familiar with the real estate market, but I also know the hidden gems that make our community special. From the coziest coffee shops where the aroma of freshly brewed beans fills the air, to the safest walking routes that wind through our picturesque parks, I have explored every corner. I can tell you which schools shine in their academic programs and where to catch the most breathtaking sunset views that paint the sky in hues of orange and pink.
This community is not just my workplace; it’s where I live, shop, dine, and play. Whether it's enjoying a weekend farmers' market, participating in local events, or simply taking a stroll with my family, every moment spent here is a testament to the life we’ve built together. I cherish the sense of belonging and the vibrant spirit that defines our neighborhood.
