Meet Ellis Properties

Caitlin started in real estate straight out of college as an assistant to a top Northern Virginia agent. She learned the business from the inside, spent three years on a team, and then went out on her own. Ellis Properties began as one person, and she built it into a top-producing solo practice while raising a family.

Being a solo agent means the business never stops asking for you. Steven got his license in 2018 mostly to take some of that off her plate. In 2021 he left his corporate job, and they went all in on the business together. Today Caitlin leads most of our seller side and Steven leads most of our buyer side, so clients always have two leaders to call.

We work best with people who have to sell one home and buy another at the same time. That's the hardest move to get right, and the problem is almost never the houses. It's the order of operations, the financing, and the timing.

Can you carry both mortgages? Do you need the equity from your current home to buy the next one? Will a home sale contingent offer be competitive, or will it lose? Every answer changes the plan, and we work that plan out before you list.

We also help clients with new construction, relocation, downsizing and retirement moves, first-time purchases, and investment property.
