Our Evolution

Founded in 2000 as a dedicated real estate agent, I quickly became an expert in reviving expired listings, successfully assisting hundreds of homeowners in a market saturated with challenges. The 2008 financial crisis sharpened our focus, as we steered clients through economic turbulence with innovative loss mitigation and real estate management strategies, uncovering a passion and niche in real estate investment along the way.

Ephesus LLC emerged from this journey, driven by a singular goal: to simplify the home selling process for homeowners. Our foundation is built on the lessons of the past, leveraging deep industry insight and a commitment to fairness, transparency, and efficiency. Today, Ephesus stands as a testament to our ongoing mission to transform real estate transactions into seamless, positive experiences for every homeowner we partner with.

As we continue to grow, our focus remains on providing reliable, straightforward solutions that meet homeowners where they are, offering a beacon of hope and possibility in the ever-evolving real estate landscape.

We asked our customers how working with us changed their lives.
