About My Team

As a top Realtor, I do not work alone. I have a great team of people working tirelessly in your best interests.

Bruce Conybeare

Associate Broker and Business Partner

Elizabeth and I have been business partners since 2002. I am an active buyer's agent, counsel sellers, work with all clients on shepherding transactions through closing (including anticipating, resolving and preparing documents for hurdles that arise), and serve as a resource for the agents and administrative staff on our team.

Prior to becoming Elizabeth's business partner, I practiced real estate law for over 15 years after receiving a BA from the University of Michigan and law degree from the University of Detroit.

Elizabeth and I married in 2001 and together have 4 adult children and 3 grandchildren.

Peggy Carroll

Listing & Buyer Specialist with the Elizabeth Brien Team since 2003

Peggy Carroll has been a listing and buyer specialist with the Elizabeth Brien Team since 2003. She is experienced in residential property sales, new construction, condominium sales, investment properties, as well as country/farm properties.

Peggy has lived in Ann Arbor since 1987 and holds an MBA in marketing from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. From 1997 through 2008, Peggy bought and sold properties as part of her investment property business. She is also experienced in condominium ownership in northern Michigan.

Peggy’s passion is helping clients find that very special property – or helping to prepare and sell their current property so that they can move onto the next stage. Many of her new business opportunities come from referrals: past clients and community members with whom she has built relationships over the years. Peggy enjoys working with first-time buyers and educating them about the home-buying process. She is also interested in helping clients understand the value of real estate as an integral part of their total financial portfolio.

In addition to real estate, Peggy enjoys theater, music, Big 10 football, reading, and involvement in community organizations. Some of the organizations which have benefited from her leadership are AAUW, League of Women Voters, and Soundings: A Center for Women.

Nancy Arnold

Listing & Buyer Specialist with the Elizabeth Brien Team since 2013

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Sports Medicine and have spent 20 years in the health and fitness industry. I was employed as an Athletic Trainer at both Ann Arbor Pioneer High School and Canton High School and as a Personal Trainer at Liberty Athletic Club. I met Elizabeth Brien at Liberty and after many conversations about real estate & a real estate career I joined her team in 2013 and haven’t looked back since. My steadfast dedication, knowledge and attention to detail allow me to deliver excellent customer service to my clients. I believe in the importance of building trust and relationships throughout every transaction.

My husband & I moved to Dexter in 1997 and instantly fell in love with Washtenaw County. We have been married for 22 years. We enjoy spending time with our 5 grandchildren and our German Shorthaired Pointer.

Gina Walsh

Buyer’s Specialist with the Elizabeth Brien Team

Originally from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, I moved to Ann Arbor in 1984 and never left! My career began in health care as a Respiratory Care Specialist for the University of Michigan hospitals, primarily focused in the Pediatric ICU at Mott Children’s Hospital. After 13 years, I moved into the role of domestic engineer for our growing family.

Throughout my time in Ann Arbor I have lived in every corner of the city; 10 different locations over the past 38 years so I know the city and its surroundings well. Together with my husband, we’ve owned 3 different properties, both new and old, with minor and major renovations in all 3. I have always had a passion for the housing market in Ann Arbor, and look forward to helping my clients find the perfect fit for them.

I worked with Elizabeth and her team in selling our family home of 20 years, while at the same time purchasing the perfect condo for us. I learned so much through that process of buying and selling, and with a bit of nudging from her team, decided to join them in the real estate world.

I am eager to help you find your dream home or walk with you through the process of listing and selling your home. I will work hard for you, listen to your needs, and help you accomplish your goals. Together with my passion, commitment to following through, and the experience of our team, you can be assured attention to every detail will be a priority!
