Sissy Lappin

Sissy is founder of Lappin Properties, a successful boutique real estate firm in Houston. After 28 years and marketing over $½ billion on deals all over the country, Lappin is a bit of a renegade broker because she believes that the FSBO market is here to stay and instead of treating them as wayward children, we need to embrace and empower the homeowner. She is co founder of ListingDoor, a web application that is a step by step process to help homeowners who want to sell their own home. Lappin is a frequently quoted expert, with commentary appearing in numerous national media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, TheStreet.com, Forbes, Time, and Money magazine.
