More about Elissa Vaught

What sets me apart starts with where I come from. I'm not a transplant who studied this market—I was born and raised in South Orange County and grew up watching my father build many of its neighborhoods and homes. I've lived in six of our cities, so when I talk about a neighborhood, it's from real experience, not a brochure. My background is my edge. With experience in mortgage lending, transaction coordination, and new construction and custom builds, I understand every moving part of a transaction—contracts, financing, inspections, and timelines—so nothing catches my clients off guard. I specialize in luxury and estate properties for clients who value privacy and exclusivity. You work directly with me, not a team of handoffs. I'm accessible, discreet, and fully invested in your goals—whether you're selling a legacy home or searching quietly off market. Most of all, I make it look ...

  • Elissa listed and sold my home

      This was our first time my husband and I worked with Elissa and her team and it definitely won't be our last. We previously listed our home for sale with another agent earlier this year but the agent could not sell it for what we felt it was worth. I was disappointed and agentless when I was referrred to Elissa by my coworker. After interviewing 3 agents we were confident that Elissa (and her team) were the most qualified to represent us in the sale of our current home and purchase of our next home. We were right, less then 2 weeks we had the offer above asking and sold for a recording breaking price for my neighborhood. Elissa & her team were amazing to work with from beginning to end. We were happy & would highly recommend them for your real estate needs. From thr first time we met she was professional, knowledgeable, and a great listener. Most importantly respectful of our desires and timeline. We never felt pressured and felt confident in her ability to sell our home and get us the best offer. Elissa did an amazing job presenting our home and her photographer was phenomenal with providing exceptional photos for our flyers,listings and open house invitations. We are grateful and thank her for her expertise and advice. In consideration of your real estate needs, I highly recommend meeting with Elissa. You will be glad you did.

    • Elissa listed and sold my home

        Courteous Professional Knowledgeable Exceeded all my expectations!

      • Elissa is absolutely terrific and I highly recommend her. My wife and I moved from the East Coast and Elissa took the time to help us understand the local market and explain all of the different towns and neighborhoods. She is extremely knowledgable about the area and helped us find the perfect house. Having a real estate agent that takes the time to understand your needs and wants and is willing to help you throughout the entire process makes all the difference. After working with Elissa, we felt completely confident as we made our decision. We love our new house and the neighborhood--thank you Elissa!

      • We purchased our home with Elissa years ago and have referred her to everyone we know since then! She did such an amazing job and was so attentive to us. Since then she has helped us complete a remodel with great recommendations to get the job done as well as put us in contact with a lender to refinance our home. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional who knows the ins and outs of every aspect to real estate!

      • Working with Elissa was the best experience we could have hoped for. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, hardworking, respectful, extremely patient, and kind. We had never sold a home before and felt very intimidated about the process. She was extremely patient and encouraging with us throughout the process explaining every step and answering all our questions in detail. She was always available by text, email or phone making it easy to stay in touch and get information in a timely manner. Elissa is an excellent sales person holding many open houses for us to keep us competitive with the local market. Anytime a new home came on the market in the immediate area she would make sure to schedule an open house for our home in order to take advantage of any local traffic. In addition she helped us stage our home to showcase its best features. We were blessed to have her as our real estate agent and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an expert in the field.
