Elissa Stone’s background includes over 17 years experience bridging business partnerships and building internal teams within the healthcare, staffing, and real estate industries. She started her career with Robert Half International, a 3.3 billion dollar organization. Elissa ranked 45th in the world within the international company as Rookie of the Year, competing just six months in the yearlong competition (over 400 offices worldwide).
She was most recently recognized in 2017 as Top Producer within the Stephen Stagner Sales Excellence Institute. In conjunction with this award, she also received an award for Top Producing Team and was nominated and elected President for the Sales Executive Board. Her roles have ranged from Director of Sales to Division Director, most recently as Vice President of Client Strategy within a Houston, TX real estate firm. Stone’s initial immersion in real estate was in 2010 under the mentorship of a CEO who served as the 2014 President for the Houston Apartment Association.
In addition, her mentor and supervisor also held multiple other leadership positions in the industry such as Rental Owner of the Year at the city (Houston), state (TX), and national level. Elissa’s previous Fortune 500 experience, her fascination and myopic immersion into real estate, combined with her consultative nature and business integrity set the foundation for Acquisitions By Design.
