OVER 20+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Meet Your Guides:

Lary & Cory Ellis

We're not your typical agents.

After years of running a successful business and serving in law enforcement, Lary is a gifted connector and together with Cory's background in the corporate world, they decided during the pandemic to create a slower, more intentional life.

Today, they help families, investors, and retirees do the same. With firsthand experience relocating across the country, building short-term rental income, and navigating North Carolina’s most competitive markets, Lary and Cory guide every client like they would a friend.
