Meet Liz – Advisor, Advocate, Friend
Liz joined MJ Peterson in 2022 as a licensed real estate salesperson, bringing with her decades of expertise in both sales and communications. Her well-rounded professional background makes her not only a skilled negotiator but also a trusted advisor and advocate for her clients.
Prior to entering real estate, Liz held impactful roles at organizations such as CareerBuilder.com, Union Bank of California, Paychex, and was the owner of Acacia Processing—a merchant processing company that proudly served as the exclusive provider for Lake Shore Savings Bank for many years. Her sales career is matched by her strong communications background, with five years as Communications Coordinator at the Park School of Buffalo and another five years at M&T Bank. Today, she continues to freelance as a copy editor, a craft she is truly passionate about.
Liz is also deeply committed to her community. She serves on the Board of Directors for Gardens Buffalo Niagara, the parent organization of the nationally recognized Garden Walk Buffalo.
She conducts her real estate business with a simple yet powerful approach, encapsulated by her motto: Advisor, Advocate, Friend. Whether working with buyers or sellers, Liz begins by listening closely to understand her clients' needs, offers expert guidance, advocates on their behalf, and builds lasting relationships.
A proud graduate of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Liz is also the mother of two grown children and enjoys staying engaged in both professional and community life.
