BUY THE PERFECT HOME

About Teresa Shipman

About Elena Barrera

With over 7 years of experience as a licensed real estate agent and more than a decade of working alongside a real estate attorney, I bring a deep and well-rounded knowledge of the real estate industry to every client relationship. My early work involved negotiating short sales and managing complex real estate transactions, which sparked my passion and ultimately motivated me to become a licensed agent.

What drives me most is helping buyers achieve their dream of homeownership. I understand that buying a home is one of the biggest and most emotional decisions a person can make, and I'm committed to guiding my clients through the process with honesty, patience, and personalized care.

My background in both legal and real estate negotiations gives my clients a distinct advantage, and I take pride in being a trusted advocate at every step—from the first showing to the closing table. Whether you're buying your first home or navigating a challenging sale, I'm here to make the journey smooth, informed, and successful.

TESTIMONIALS


She was tentative in planning showings. She knew what we were looking for and didn't give up until we found the

perfect home for our family. Very patient and

understanding. I would definitely use her services again and recommend her to people looking for someone that goes above and beyond what's expected when buying a home.

For the great support you gave us at every moment, and for the time you were by our side searching for our home, God bless you and continue to shower you with more blessings.
