Katie Milne comes to C.E. Rensberger & Family with nearly a decade in real estate and new construction experience and has been behind the scenes at CER since 2019 helping with new construction homes. Before real estate, Katie started in the music industry, working in marketing, production, and sales. She transitioned to marketing and communication in education before finding her perfect fit: new construction and real estate. Katie loves working with clients from the very beginning when they describe their dream lot and home, to seeing their faces when their new home is delivered. Katie values communication, believing it to be the heart of any relationship, both personal and business, ensuring all aspects of a transaction run smoothly. Whether she’s talking with clients about the home layout or who they think is going to win the NCAA tournament this year (hint: TARHEELS), she truly enjoys every conversation with clients.
Katie lives in Lake Linganore in Frederick County with her husband and their two young children. She loves being an active member of her community and plays violin with the Frederick Symphony Orchestra.

Liz believes that communication is key to any successful transaction and keeping her clients informed every step of the way, making sure that they are comfortable with every aspect of the process. She and her husband live in Lake Linganore in their C.E. Rensberger-built home and love to enjoy the lake in summer and ski in the winter, while spending as much time with their children as possible.
Chuck grew up in small town Hershey Pennsylvania and attended Clarion University. He’s chosen to raise his family in Frederick County, Maryland.

Chuck helps provide clarity so clients make a sound financial decision for their particular situation. Knowing that his clients have entrusted him to help handle possibly “the single biggest transaction of their lives” is not taken for granted, ever.
Chuck is a resident of Lake Linganore in Frederick County. Having two kids of his own, he understands schedules can sometimes be tough and is flexible in trying to meet the needs of his clients. When not immersed in his work, he enjoys helping coach his two sons in various sports and spending time with his family. On occasion, he may even get out to play a round of golf.
