Steven Ellis

Steven spent the first part of his career at a government contractor, doing work he had quietly stopped caring about somewhere around year two. Long days, a lot of time on the toll road, and a calendar that kept eating the parts of the week he actually wanted back. He got his real estate license in 2018 partly to help Caitlin on the weekends and mostly because he wanted to be in a job where he talked to people instead of a screen.

In 2021 he quit the corporate thing entirely and went all in on the business with her.

Caitlin's response was not a pep talk. It was that he would not be riding her coattails and he would be replacing his old income. Steven played four years of Division One baseball at Radford and is competitive to a genuinely unreasonable degree, so this worked perfectly. He spent two years grinding online leads and cold calls, which is a miserable way to learn the business and also the best one.

Now he runs most of the buyer side. He is the extrovert of the two. Caitlin describes him as "like a warm hug," which he has decided is a compliment and repeats often.

He grew up in Centreville, went to Westfield High School, and left Radford with a business degree and one school record: most times hit by a pitch in a season. Make of that what you will. He and Caitlin live in Aldie with Violet and Hayes. He is an undercover nerd about anything with a spreadsheet or an AI tool attached to it, and on a good Sunday you can find him deep in fantasy football research with a baseball game on in the background.
