Elizabeth Lawton

The most important metric of the value of Liz Lawton’s work has always been how much it improves the lives of her clients. A seasoned agent in both the sales and rental market in Manhattan and Brooklyn, her business model is centered on her client’s preparedness and fluency in the product in order to execute the deal in an efficient, seamless, and - dare she say- enjoyable manner. Liz’s eclectic background offers her a unique perspective on life and a creative approach to her transactions, which has given her customers an upper hand in comparison to standard practices. Her command of the neighborhoods from both a market and local’s perspective allows her a more human point of view when it comes to making analytical decisions. She believes her work should manifest in her client’s sustained happiness in their home, so she takes their decisions very seriously, stretching them to consider all angles of their search in order to make sure the home they pick truly feels like a home. She strives to find the perfect marriage of opportunistic resale value and supreme livability in every transaction, all while keeping her client’s assets favorable in the future. While she is future-focused, she finds herself deep in the past quite often. An avid historian, Liz is deeply enthralled by the stories of New York’s past, constantly seeking to better understand our city and its fabled narrative. From minute details of New York’s role in the revolutionary war, to the painstaking process that was the formation of the grid system, to the cause and impact of various waves of immigration, whether you like it or not, Liz will weave you the account of your investment’s history and offer you a window to the many face of New York prior. After growing up in Boston, Liz went on to receive her Bachelor’s of Science in Premed/Biology from the University of Chicago. While at UChicago, she was two-time NCAA National Champion in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters in Outdoor Track and additionally, was a four-time NCAA All-American in Indoor Track and Cross Country. Since matriculation, she’s continued chasing this passion, however at much longer distances; she’s proudly completed 11 marathons, notably four of those being the Boston Marathon. Her unwavering endurance and complete commitment to a cause carries over from her running life into her professional work ethic, as she believes to reach any such goal requires concentrated focus and consistent effect.
