Colleen Ellis
Realtor, Mother, and Volunteer in Durham, North Carolina
As a Mom, Wife, Professional, and Friend, I am busy. Working in the community in extremely important to me, thus my rewarding career in real estate!
I believe that Black Lives Matter, Science is Real, Love is Love, Feminism is for Everyone, and Humans are not Illegal.
I moved to the Piedmont of the Tarheel State in February of 2012 and fell in love immediately. The locals here are so inspiring - supporting artisans that live and breathe the Triangle. Passionate activists are working hard to make positive change in the world - to make our area a better place.
I am an ardent defender of public schools. Without a quality education for ALL of our children, we will never be able to address the issues that plague our country. I am a passionate supporter of social justice. Once again, we cannot move forward until we address the systemic racism that laces our past and present. We cannot move forward until the LGBTQ population feels safe and has the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts. We cannot move forward until Women's Rights are protected...
Real Estate is my job and hobby! Buying a home is one of the most exciting and stressful events in a person's life. I thrive in helping people take this step, informatively and with ease. Being intimately involved in the community allows me to help with the nuances that come from moving in and around a city! I have resources to help answer all of your questions.
I believe we should never stop working on ourselves. When in doubt on how to proceed, read a book!
