Ellen Phipps GRI, ABR, CRS
I am proud to call Ashe County home! I was raised on a large family farm with parents that taught me at a young age that hard work and faith in God would take me anywhere I wanted to go. I married at a young age to a wonderful man by the name of Val Phipps. We have been blessed with two children and three exciting grandchildren.
I can say that the High Country has been a great place to raise my children, but as they got older and went to college, I needed something else to occupy my time. I have always had an interest in real estate and have bought lots of investment properties, so I thought I would get my real estate licensing and see if I could make a carrier out of it. I worked in the Blowing Rock market for a short time and realized I loved selling real estate, but being a native of Ashe, I wanted to open up more opportunities for myself. This was the beginning of Active Realty. My husband and I were the Active Realty team for some time. Val owned his own plumbing business and had lots of knowledge about real estate, and that made him a real asset to Active Realty. I am proud to say we became respected as a successful and professional firm. After six years, I realized my real joy came from helping people find their home, so I decided to sell the business and let someone else manage the office. Now I am back doing what I love best...selling!
In todays market, you need to work with an Agent that has proven to be a leader. I have worked hard to educate myself on the rapid changing market. I have attended lots of advanced classes and earned designations (ABR, GRI, CRS, and E Pro)all of which are assets to my clients. I am knowledgeable in investment properties and have a good understanding about 1031 exchanges. I have served on both the Ashe and the Watauga Board of Directors. I have been active in the local Chamber, as a board member.
So if you are looking to buy or sell property, I would count it a pleasure to work with you. I am committed to treat my clients with the respect and integrity they deserve. If you have questions, feel free to call me at 336-977-1229 (cell); 336-846-4900 (office) or e-mail.
