It took us a year to find our home, and Everlasting’s patience was remarkable throughout the process. She never stopped searching for a property that met our specific needs. When a contract we entered in early 2025 fell through due to the home's condition, she continued to support us despite the challenges of distance and time as we traveled from Virginia to find our retirement home in St. Robert, Missouri.
During our recent Christmas and New Year vacation, we found a house we loved. Although Everlasting was out of the country at the time, she immediately arranged for someone to give us a tour. By the time we left Missouri, the contract and inspections were already underway under her supervision.
Everlasting advocated for us on numerous occasions regarding concerns with the seller and provided expert guidance on what to negotiate. When we returned for the closing, she remained fully engaged and kept everything on track. She is highly responsive and consistently provided answers to every question we had.
Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and delivers timely!

Daniela Horstman is not only an exceptional real estate professional — she’s become a true friend to our family. She walked alongside us through the entire home buying journey with patience, knowledge, and genuine care. As a military family using a VA loan, the process can be stressful, but Daniela made it feel seamless. She went above and beyond in every way and we couldn’t have found our home without her. If you’re looking for someone who will treat you like family and fight for your best interests, Daniela is your person. We are so grateful for her and highly recommend her without any reservations!

We recently sold our house in St. Robert Missouri. Ms. Lisa Ellis was very professional and helped us throughout the difficult process by making it easy.
Ms. Ellis got our house sold in 7 weeks. She took care of everything so that we could return to our home state in Texas.
I would highly recommend Team Ellis if you need a professional that gets the job done.
Her personal touch, care and communication are exceptional.

Team Ellis stands out as the premier real estate firm in Waynesville, MO. We had the pleasure of working with Heather, who had previously assisted my in-laws with the sale of their home. Her dedication and attention to detail were evident from the start—she ensured our home was thoroughly prepared for the market, leaving no aspect overlooked.
Heather provided excellent recommendations for trusted professionals to handle all necessary maintenance and repairs, streamlining the process with efficiency and care. Our one request was consistent communication throughout the sale, and Heather not only honored that request but far surpassed our expectations.
Having sold several homes in the past, we were genuinely impressed by how quickly this property sold—faster than any of our previous experiences. Heather’s expertise and professionalism were clearly reflected in both our transaction and that of my in-laws. The entire process was swift, seamless, and remarkably intuitive.
We wholeheartedly recommend Team Ellis and commend Heather for her outstanding service. A truly exceptional experience from start to finish.

I had, and am continuing to have, a second to none experience with Daniela as my real estate agent. We are new to the area and not only did Daniela help us find a house that we are very excited about while out of town, she was extremely efficient in helping the process of a quickly needed closing date and is continuing to help us know the area with places, events, and trustworthy referrals. Through it all she has went the extra mile to make sure that everything is done right.

Daniela is not a realtor, she is a magician! We sold two houses to move across the country. She had one sold before we even listed. The other house did not stay on the market very long. Daniela always knew who to call for anything, whether a contractor or a realtor at our new state. She was a constant source of optimism and get it done attitude when it came to negotiations and inspections. Quite honestly, she saved our sanity a few times! She's tough, but fair, and I respect her opinions immensely. Selling our houses turned out to be a wonderful experience, and Daniela is a huge part of that.
"
- Leticia Reef

Daniela really goes above and beyond with the home buying experience. It took us I think 6 months or more to find the house that worked best for us and she was so patient and understanding while waiting for us to choose the house we chose. She is also very honest and will point out details that I might not have seen or noticed. I would 1000% recommend her. If you are searching for your next home you need Daniela to help you find it!

She was polite and respectful with my schedule and my place sold quickly. I would recommend her services for a seller and a buyer.

My parents and I lived on the same land. Separate homes. They decided to be snowbirds for a year and loved it so much they made the hardest decision they ever had to make and that was to move to FL and sell the property my siblings and I grew up in for 40 plus years, and one they worked so hard for. It might not have been much to some but to us, it was our comfort. When it was time to make that final decision, I knew exactly who I wanted to be our realtor. I wanted someone who I could trust, someone who was honest, and someone who kept my parents and myself informed, (I’m out of state as well) and who would make the process as stress free as possible for my parents. Working with Heather Bassett was a breeze! She gave us advice and set up numbers so we can visually see what she was explaining over video. Every question we had, she explained it so we could understand it. We had no worries and had all the faith in her. She was very understanding as we had a hard time letting go of our home but I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to help us through this process. Thank you Heather for your hard work and patience with us and making it easy with us living out of state.

My home sold the first day of showing. Team Ellis advised and guided me through this process. It was easy and professionally driven. I recommend Team Ellis for your realty needs.

Heather went above and beyond what my wife and I had expected when selling our older home. She gave advice on improvements to make in order to get the best selling price, and we got it. She even suggested and arranged for contractors to get work done in a short-fuzed time frame. In our opinion she definately earned every bit of her commission. I highly recommend Team Ellis for anybody planning to sell their home.

Lisa and her team have sold and bought houses for us twice. Both times were seamless and stress free. On her birthday this past year she drove out to our house (30 minutes away) to give us a stove part we needed for our listed house. Only down side is this last home is our forever home so we won’t need her anymore! But will recommend her to all our family and friends.

Ever is a truly amazing agent! She helped us throughout the entire housing process even going above and beyond to ensure we were taken care off. On top of that her versatility to deal with some unruly sellers while maintaining her composure was definitely something to stride towards. I can’t emphasise enough how great Ever is at her job and I would have no problem mentioning her to anyone with the FLW/Waynesville/St.Robert area. I wish her nothing but the best with her future success!

As a military family, we’ve spent years moving from place to place, rarely having the chance to truly settle in. The idea of buying a home felt so permanent in what has always been such a temporary lifestyle.
Thanks to Heather, who is not only an incredible realtor but also one of our dearest friends, we found our perfect home. Her guidance, patience, and deep knowledge of the market made the process smooth and stress-free. She understood our unique situation and helped us feel confident in taking this big step.
We’re so grateful for her support, and we love knowing that if the Army ever calls us to move again, she’ll be right there to help us rent our home and turn it into an investment opportunity. Heather truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.

As a first-time buyers, we had no idea of what we were doing. One of my wife’s friend recommended Ms. Everlasting because she had helped them with their dream home and they had an awesome experience using her services. Ms. Everlasting turned out to be a true professional and very knowledgeable. Within a month we had our dream house. Not only did she find us a beautiful home, but she also helped us finding a contractor to help with minor work in our home. Thank you!!

Everlasting was amazing to work with when selling our home. From the very beginning, she was transparent, informative, and extremely knowledgeable, which gave us a lot of confidence throughout the entire process.
She had our house listed and live online within 24 hours of hiring her, which was impressive. She also helped coordinate and hire contractors for the repairs we needed, taking a lot off our plate.
What really stood out was how well she kept us informed every step of the way. We always knew what was going on and what to expect next. She even hosted a grand open house, putting in her own time and money to make sure our home got maximum exposure.
She is truly a top notch realtor with all the potential to be the number one realtor in the area, if she isn’t already.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Everlasting to anyone looking to buy or sell.

We're grateful for all her help and highly recommend Hazel O'Donnell and Team Ellis.

Selling a property from out of state can be challenging and stressful, but Everlasting Lee made the entire process seamless. Her communication was exceptional and truly put me at ease. When she listed my home, it was under contract in less than 24 hours, which is absolutely impressive. The entire experience exceeded my expectations.
If you're looking for a realtor in the FLW area, I highly recommend Everlasting Lee. She consistently goes above and beyond for her clients.

Thanks again for helping us have a place to call home
