As one client shared, “We were very happy with Clint and his insight and caring to meet our needs. If we need to move again, we will definitely choose Clint.”

In 2009, Clint co-founded the Ellis-Nabors Team with his father-in-law, Mark Ellis, a well-known and respected real estate professional who retired in 2024. In 2025, Clint partnered with Ryan McLennan, which sparked a rebranding that included a fresh new look and the adoption of the team’s name, “Neighbors Team”: As the team leader, Clint now oversees and motivates the team’s licensed agents to deliver exceptional service. The team is co-led by partner, Ryan McLennan, a seasoned professional with almost a decade of experience and a deep passion for all things real estate. Alongside him is Karen Zientek, the team manager and licensed associate, as well as agents Wanda Abel, Kristy Allen and Heather Jones.
