About Lea Ellison, Associate Broker

My Client-First Philosophy

Many qualities and skills go into being a top-notch real estate professional -- integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.

 

That said, in my experience as a Huntsville real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

 

This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach, and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. That's why I made it my business to earn my Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) designation, my Certified Residential Specialist (CRS)designation, and my Certified New Home Sales Professional (CSP) designation in my first three years as a Realtor. 

In the next three years, I earned my Broker's License and was certified by the Alabama Real Estate Commission as a Real Estate Instructor.

 

In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.   

So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Huntsville areas, please contact me.

 

Specialized services that I offer include:

 

-  First Time Home Buyer Services.   I love helping first-time buyers find the right home, and I'm committed to making the purchase process as transparent and stress-free as it can be.  From contract negotiations to lender and vendor recommendations, through inspections to appraisal and closing, I have the tools to make buying your first home flow smoothly.

 

- Staging Your Home to Sell!  Here's where my 12 years' experience as an art director for Emmy-winning television shows like SOAP, Benson, Night Court, It's A Living, and Amen come in handy. 

 

- Welcome to Huntsville! Relocation Services.  When I moved to Huntsville from Los Angeles in 1994, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.  I found clean green fields and mountains, well-preserved historic districts, a vibrant cultural life, well-educated and warmly welcoming people -- and nothing that looked like L.A. traffic!  The Huntsville metro area has only improved since then, and I'd consider it a privilege to show it to you.  

I am certified as a Cartus Network Referral Specialist and as a Cartus Network Affinity Specialist.  I've also completed the USAA MoversAdvantage Training Program.

 

- Historic Home Sales. Our historic districts -- Twickenham, Old Town, Five Points, Merrimack -- are where to find the heart and art of Huntsville.  Gracious mansions, cozy cottages, solid Craftsman homes settle comfortably among the dogwoods and maple trees.  These neighborhoods are gorgeous in spring and fall, cool in summer, welcoming in winter.  Many are renovated for modern living while maintaining their period charm.   Let me give you a tour today!
