Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is dedicated to providing the highest service to today’s home buyers and sellers. This tradition continues with the recent addition of Global Real Estate Advisor Elyse Claire to our Flagstaff Office.
With a career rooted in servant leadership and a life shaped by global exploration, Elyse brings a unique blend of compassion, adaptability, and cultural awareness to real estate. Having traveled to more than 30 countries—including professional chapters in Sweden, Australia, Norway, and the U.S.— Elyse has developed a sincere appreciation for service, nuance, and what it truly means to feel at home.
Though she explored the world, Arizona was always home. As a proud Arizona native with personal experience living in Coconino, Yavapai, and Maricopa counties, Elyse offers deep local insight paired with a broad worldview. She is honored to help clients from all backgrounds navigate the real estate journey with clarity, trust, and a touch of joy.
Elyse is passionate about fostering connection—whether through supporting local marathons, engaging in spiritually and socially enriching communities, or advocating for inclusion and well-being. She also continually invests in education and industry training to ensure her clients benefit from the latest insights and tools, all while honoring the timeless Sotheby’s International principles of integrity, elegance, and service.
With family woven between architecture, real estate, and human resources, she carries that love for design and structure into every interaction. As part of Sotheby’s International Realty network, Elyse upholds a standard of classic professionalism, personalized attention, and genuine care. Above all, she leads with heart. Elyse listens deeply, advocates fiercely, and celebrates the moment her clients find their place in the world.
In the words of It’s a Wonderful Life: “Bread—that this house may never know hunger. Salt—that life may always have flavor. And wine—that joy and prosperity may reign forever.”
