After leaving the University of Maryland, Joel Rensberger has gained over 24 years of experience in construction management across Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. From childhood to the present day (almost 39 years since he first worked with dad) he has also been working with his own hands on various projects ranging from a 1790’s home renovation to leading a ‘hyper-build’ for ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Joel has received professional training and experience from the area’s leading homebuilders, and traditional methods, values and technique from his father, and grandfather.
Joel has launched a custom homebuilding company that prides itself on openness, candor, honest work and good value. His focus is on quality site preparation and home siting, proper costing, timely completion, and superior execution of any manner of large residential projects. All the while, Joel remains open and available to the customer throughout the work week to ensure a great experience.
Having relocated personally many times, Liz Burrow has a deep appreciation for the necessity of a dedicated and professional real estate agent to assist with the process of selecting a home site through the appropriate features to be included in the particular market or neighborhood. She is able to offer C.E. Rensberger’s clients understanding and empathy throughout the entire process of buying or selling their home that can only be gained through personal experience.
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 too is available to clients almost always—except when attending a swim meet for her children!
