Lisa Jones is a proud Rhode Island native with deep roots across the state. She grew up in Riverside, spent her high school years in Providence’s Smith Hill neighborhood, and spread her wings on the East Side as a young adult. She still remembers where Almacs used to be, never says no to a Del’s, and fondly recalls the days her dad worked at Benny’s—touchstones that reflect a lifelong connection to community and place.
After living in Cranston in her late 20s, Lisa moved to Florida in 2000 as a newlywed and launched her real estate career in 2007. She quickly rose to become a top-producing agent—during the Great Recession, no less—and in 2015 opened her own boutique brokerage in Minneola, Florida. She successfully led that firm until selling it to a trusted colleague and friend in December 2023. Today, her life reflects the best of both worlds: back in the home state she loves and fully immersed in the career she was born to do.
When you partner with Lisa Jones, you gain a knowledgeable, supportive advisor who understands that real estate transactions can be confusing, stressful, and deeply personal. Known for her responsiveness, transparency, and steady communication, Lisa looks out for her clients at every step of the process. She holds the Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI), Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource (SFR), and Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designations—the latter earned by fewer than 1% of REALTORS® nationwide. Combined with her experience and natural empathy, these credentials allow her to guide clients confidently, smoothly, and efficiently in any market.
