About

Effy began her career as a Realtor in 2006 and experienced many fluctuations in the market but was able to build a successful business that has served her well all of these years. "My experiences taught me valuable lessons about closely watching and adjusting to market conditions while giving sound guidance to clients to better position themselves". As the team leader of 'The Effy Group' of Northrop Realty and partnered with Zack Bryant, she is able to share her experience, knowledge, and support to her team members to better serve the clients they represent. "Success is not measured by the number of 'deals' closed but by the quality of the relationship with the client."

Effy lives in Baldwin, MD in Baltimore county with her husband. She has three sons and three step-daughters that are grown and attending college or in their career. Prior to becoming a Realtor, she was a 5th grade teacher in both Baltimore and Prince George's county school systems.

What My Clients Are Saying

“Effy is truly the best of the best. The home we wanted to purchase was on the market Saturday and sold Monday. Through the whole rapid and complex process, Effy guided us with expertise, grace, and patience. If you are looking for a realtor to sell or purchase a home, Effy is a wonderful choice, we are so grateful for her!”

“Effy is fantastic! She was patient, responsive, and honest. She gave me the space and time to make my decision, but also negotiated fiercely once I decided on a house. I never felt like she was trying to sell me on houses; she was genuinely invested in helping me find the house that was right for me. She helped me navigate through not only the purchase of my home here in MD, but went above and beyond to advise me through the sale of my previous home in another state. She is truly the kind of person to have in your corner. I would recommend Effy in a heartbeat.”

Rachel Walsh

“Effy did a great job in helping us purchase our multi-unit rental property. She was instrumental in the negotiations, helping us figure out how to perform the required inspections, and connected us with a title company that was very professional and helped closing go without any delays. Effy was present every step of the way and offered solid suggestions on how to improve the property to make it more profitable. She was always available by phone or text with any questions. She stayed in constant contact with the seller's agent to make sure everything went smoothly.”

“Effy went above and beyond helping us sell our home. We were on a tight time constraint and needed to meet a certain price point and Effy made it happen for us. She never left our side during the entire process. She simplified everything for us and we came out of this sale better than we could have ever imagined.”

“Effy was absolutely amazing to work with both in selling my house and purchasing another home. She used an amazing photographer, which made my house look great. She gave wonderful advice to help me stage my house, and we had an offer within a few hours of the first showing. When I decided to purchase another home; she understood the neighborhoods and understood my needs, and made the purchase a seamless transaction.”

“Effy is a consummate professional. She speaks directly about what you can do to sell your home for the best possible price, and on the buying end she is available and responsive.

“We connected with Effy through a mutual friend. She helped us buy our home, and 8 years later, we contacted her again to help us sell it, as we moved out of the area. She guided us through both processes with patience and professionalism. She carefully explained everything as it happened, and walked us through the decisions we needed to make. She even put us in touch with a trustworthy realtor in our neq location, to help us find a home there. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and if we move back into her area, I'm definitely going to call her again.”
