What is an ELP? What does using an ELP mean for you?

An ELP is a Dave Ramsey Endorsed Local Provider. An Endorsed Local Provider (ELP) designation is not easily earned. Each ELP is held to extremely high standards and must not only follow the Dave Ramsey principals, but also receive personalized coaching and continued accountability from the Dave Ramsey team.

ELP’s have to be licensed full time agents who have at least four years’ tenure and who close at least 35 transactions per year. As a buyer or seller working with an ELP REALTOR, you will be working with an experienced agent who is communication and client focused, negotiates aggressively on your behalf, and that meets the following Dave Ramsey requirements.

They Care About You More Than the Sale

Our agents inspire and serve their clients first. Getting to know you on a personal level allows a solid recommendation to you and your family based on Dave’s proven principles.

We Hold Them to High Standards

Our ELPs close on more homes than 90% of other agents in their area. You’d never build a home without a blueprint. So why blindly buy or sell one without the best agent?

Your Values Are Their Values Too

You’re not getting suckered into a deal you don’t want. Our ELPs value relationships over money, they’re fans of Dave and know what role your home should play in your budget.
