| Lisa Helms Crabtree | lisahelmscrabtreerealtor@gmail.com | Alleghany County | My biggest areas of expertise are residential transactions, contracts and forms, NC compliance, transaction management, rural & mountain properties, land/acreage, organization/systems, and excellent client service. I also have a very strong attention to detail. After 23 years in real estate, I have been through many different transactions and situations and have learned that sometimes the smallest detail can create the biggest problem if it is missed. I think being approachable is also a big part of mentoring. I want a new agent to feel comfortable calling me when they aren't sure about something or just need to talk through a situation. I would much rather you ask the question than guess when your client and a transaction are involved. At the same time, my goal is to help agents become confident and independent as quickly as possible. I don't want to just give you an answer every time. I want to show you where to find the answer, help you understand why it is the answer, and teach you how to work through similar situations on your own next time. To me, good mentoring means helping an agent understand how to properly manage a transaction from beginning to end, develop good habits and systems, take great care of their clients, and know where to turn when they need an answer. Ultimately, I want the agents I mentor to reach the point where they have the knowledge and confidence to handle their business successfully on their own. |

I also have experience coaching team start-ups and creating systems, structure, and support for both individual agents and growing teams. My mentoring style is hands-on, encouraging, and accountability-focused—helping agents turn what they learn into consistent action and lasting success. |
