Daniel Ellis was born and raised in Newburgh, NY, (Hudson Valley region located one hour north of New York City). Growing up in New York state was great and rich in history, however, Daniel found the economic climate too expensive to maintain.  So at the invitation of his then girlfriend, Elvira, he made a visit to Lexington, KY.  Her parents had recently relocated to Lexington from New York.

Daniel had long dreamed of moving south, and while on his visit in August of 2004, he fell in love with Lexington’s beautiful clean city, the friendly people, and the famous bluegrass charm that is so coveted by the local natives.  He discovered that Lexington is as rich in History as Newburgh.  It was during his stroll through the Woodland Arts Fair that he decided to make Lexington his home.  Daniel made the move in 2005 and has been here for over 15 years.  

Daniel worked various jobs and was able to purchase 2 homes. He sold one of his homes as a “For Sale By Owner” in 2009.  During this transaction, his mortgage loan officer suggested that he would make a successful career as a Realtor because he found Daniel to be capable, honest, respectful, and courteous!  Daniel decided to go for it.

With dedication and hard work, Daniel obtained his real estate license by the end of 2009.  In January of 2010, he became a member of (LBAR) Lexington Bluegrass Association of Realtors.  And true to his entrepreneurial spirit, in April 2014, he furthered his career by obtaining his brokerage license as a real estate Broker/Owner under the name of MetroMax Realty.

Daniel says he has one philosophy:

Daniel’s one true love as a Realtor/Broker, is to assist his clients to a successful outcome.  On his first interview with a client, he does an indepth discovery of their goals, their level of commitment, and their financial ability.  Once discovered, Daniel is able to navigate the perimeters to a good outcome.

“I treat each person I represent that same way I want to be treated, no matter what their station in life or their financial status.”  

Daniel is married to his wife – Elvira, and has 2 beautiful children, Jacob and Adeline.  He enjoys visiting local attractions, watching UK sports, Keeneland horse racing, and local Bourbon Distilleries. To relax he plays golf and travels with his family.  

If you are looking for a Realtor/Broker who not only cares about his clients, but has the unique ability to help them realize their real estate dreams, call Daniel!  He has extensive knowledge to get you where you want to be.  Daniel services Lexington and the surrounding counties of the Bluegrass!
