Liz Montaner | REALTOR® 

Liz Montaner began her real estate career in 2007 after a very successful 25 year career in magazine advertising sales. In 2008, she doubled her business and was named Rookie of the Year in her office. Liz tripled her business in 2009 despite the challenging market conditions and was named to Coldwell Banker's Mid Atlantic Top 100 Agent List where she has remained ever since.  At the end of 2018, Liz determined that a real estate team could provide a higher level of service to her clients and so she formed the Let's Move Crew, which she led until 2024, at which time she passed the baton to Kate Hopkins. 

Liz and her husband Richard lived in a water privileged community in Severna Park for 22 years while raising their 2 children. In 2013, Liz and Richard moved to downtown Annapolis where they enjoy a very walk-able empty nest lifestyle. In addition to practicing real estate, Liz enjoys boating all over the Chesapeake Bay and is involved in numerous charitable organizations, particularly those focused on mental health.
