About Elizabeth Hood

Liz grew up helping her parents and siblings renovate their 1800s colonial home in Connecticut. From that experience, she developed a deep appreciation for old homes with good bones, which serves her well in her work as a real estate agent with one of the top rated teams in the Philadelphia area, the Karrie Gavin Group at Elfant Wissahickon Realtors.

 

Liz moved to the Philadelphia area to attend Bryn Mawr College. After earning her B.A., she worked for the Pennsylvania State Senate, serving Main Line Montgomery County and parts of Delaware County. Following her time in state politics, Liz pursued her law degree and graduated from Georgetown University Law Center. She practiced law at Morgan Lewis for seven years—in New York City and then in Philadelphia.

 

After having her second child, Liz stepped away from law to pursue her first passion: real estate. She has extensive knowledge of Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs. Over the years, she has called several neighborhoods home, including Washington Square West, Fairmount, Bella Vista, and Pennsport. Liz uses her legal background to ensure her clients are exceptionally well represented in negotiations, giving them the confidence that they are in great hands and getting the best possible deal.

 

As a mother of two, she understands the needs of homebuyers with children—from navigating school catchments and knowing the best local playgrounds to appreciating the space and storage needs of a growing family.

 

Liz, her husband Jay, and their two young children, Ruby and Oscar, now live in Washington Square West, where they spend most weekends at Seger Park, exploring the many farmers’ markets the city has to offer, or fixing up their own 1800s rowhome.
