Her Story

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth has spent more than two decades in real estate: as an agent, a transaction coordinator, a team leader, and now as a speaker and educator who's made it her mission to have the conversations the industry keeps avoiding.

She started her real estate career in Idaho, where she built a reputation for being direct, knowledgeable, and genuinely funny in a field that often takes itself too seriously. Over time, she realized she had more to offer than just closing deals. She had a point of view worth sharing.

Today, Elizabeth is a licensed continuing education instructor in Idaho, an approved CE credit provider, and a sought-after speaker at real estate associations, broker events, and national conferences across the country.

She believes real estate is a people business first and a transaction business second, and everything she teaches comes from that conviction.

Client Testimonials

I thoroughly enjoy working with Elizabeth Hume. She has an amazing ability to roll with the punches and handles anything thrown at her with grace. We schedule our classes out months at a time and even if her calendar has a conflict, she will cover her basis and not leave people hanging in the lurch. She’s extremely easy to work with as I know I can rely on her to fulfill her commitments.

Beyond Real Estate

Elizabeth is an Idahoan through and through. When she's not on a stage or recording a podcast episode, she's probably outdoors, with family, or thinking about what her next episode topic should be.

She believes real estate is a people business first and a transaction business second, and everything she teaches comes from that conviction.
