a feel good newsletter from your favorite unconventional real estate agent


What's up, party people?!

 

Time for a SUPER exciting update: as most of you know, my boyfriend Ian Hines-Ike is the founder and owner of Guesthouse coffee. We have been each other’s biggest cheerleaders in life and business for a while, but we’re leveling up in a big way. Lizzie + Guesthouse have officially joined forces! I'm now part of the incredible team behind Guesthouse Coffee, and Ian is getting his real estate license! He just started the full-time program at Armbrust Real Estate Institute—which is hands down the best (and most intense!) real estate education out there. I went through it myself, but as a proud grad I can confirm it's totally worth it. (Scroll down for his adorable “first day of school” photo 📸).


We’re getting ready to partner up in life and work like never before—and that’s not just exciting for us. It means more heart, more support, and more creativity for the people we get to work with (that’s you!). So if someone you know is thinking about buying or selling, send ‘em our way. We’ll take great care of them and probably bring them coffee, too. 😉

 

Also, if you follow me on social media, you already know: I’m a huge Tony Robbins fan. I went to my second Unleash the Power Within event this March, and somehow it blew my mind even more than last year. It’s one of those “come home to yourself” kind of weekends. (Sneak peek here.)

 

If you’re craving that kind of spark—Tony is hosting a brand new virtual event next week called Thrive in 2025 (and it's free!). Whether you’re ready to level up or just need a little push, you can check it out here.

 

Finally, don’t miss the quote at the bottom of the page. It’s from powerhouse speaker Lisa Nichols, and it’s your reminder that there’s no one else on this planet who can do *you* quite like you. 🌟

 

So let's go challenge the status quo. And do awesome shit. And have a great freaking week. And live our best freaking lives.

 

xoxo,

real estate real talk 

 
thinking of selling this year? start with a pre-inspection

Even if you’re months away from listing, doing a pre-inspection can save you time, money, and stress. It gives you a heads-up on any repairs a buyer might flag, so you can fix them proactively or price accordingly. Bonus: it makes your home feel more “move-in ready,” which buyers love (and often pay more for). Need a recommendation? Call me!



the section where Ian is totally going to kill me

 
happy first day of school! 😂

🩶 quote I’m living by this week

"Are you enough? You woke up enough. No one has to tell you you're good enough for the assignment that's on your life. There's a calling on your life, and it's only on yours. And don't worry about if you see that other people are doing something similar. No one can do you quite like you. I'll say it again. No one can do *you* quite like you. And I'm not saying that to put anyone down. I'm saying that I, that you — we are a unique, unrepeatable miracle. And if you never do you, you will never be done. No one has your fingerprint, and no one has your DNA. And you will give the world this thing called YOU in such a way that we'll all be blessed."

 

— Lisa Nichols
