Coldwell Banker realtor Elizabeth Tardif wears a lot of hats while on the job–she spent the morning showcasing houses to out-of-towners, negotiating contracts and cheering on current sellers.

Hair and makeup genius Mateo Ambrose stands out with his self-possessed, personal sense of style . He mixes it up just right with a touch of gentleman dandy layered on top of a 90′s, grunge era flannel.
