Get to Know Your Agent: Lisa Bain


Hi there! I’m so glad you stopped by. Whether you're here looking to buy your dream home, sell your current one, or just browsing, I thought I’d take a moment to introduce myself—not just as your real estate agent, but as a real person who has recently taken a major leap of faith and reinvented her life. 


A Sagittarian Soul on a Journey


Born in December under the ever-adventurous Sagittarius sign, I’ve always had a fire for creativity, connection, and chasing new experiences. After more than 35 years as a graphic designer, I took a bold step in 2024: I earned my real estate license, said goodbye to my 9-5 life, and dove headfirst into a brand-new chapter.


From City Lights to Country Nights


After living in the city for 17 years, I made another major move—literally! I sold my longtime home, packed up, and relocated to Macclenny, where I now live with my wonderful boyfriend. Let’s just say this city girl is learning the ropes of country living... and loving it more than I expected. 


Planting Roots—Literally


Six years ago, I found peace and passion in gardening. Getting my hands in the dirt has become a powerful way to connect with nature and ground myself through all of life’s changes. From flowers to vegetables, there’s just something magical about watching something grow because you cared for it.


Family First, Always


I’m a proud mom of two amazing daughters—Julia (26), a stay-at-home mom, and Olivia (19), a thriving student at the University of Florida. And if that weren’t enough to fill my heart, I’m also “Grandma” to Kensley (6) and Dominick (1)—both born on December 12th (how’s that for a cosmic coincidence?!).


Flipping the Script… and Some Homes!


Along with diving into real estate, I’ve also embarked on a new business adventure: house flipping! My boyfriend and I bought our first investment property in December, and we’ve been all in—hammer, paintbrush, and vision board in hand.


But for us, this is more than just business. It’s a creative outlet, a passion project, and a way to breathe new life into homes that have seen better days. That’s why we launched Second Chances of N. FL LLC. Our mission is rooted in transformation—giving not only homes a second chance, but also the families connected to them. We aim to help one family move on to their next chapter while preparing the space with care and intention for the next family to create beautiful memories.


Unlike flippers who just cover up the flaws, we believe in fixing things the right way—addressing root problems and making thoughtful improvements that will last. Every nail, every coat of paint, every design decision is made with love and longevity in mind.


At the heart of it all is my love for “second chances”—and that love is poured into every home we touch, so the next family can feel it the moment they walk through the door.


Reinvention is the New Routine


2024 has been the year of reinvention—and honestly, I’ve never felt more aligned with who I am becoming. Real estate isn’t just a career change for me—it’s a calling. Helping people find their home, invest in their future, or move forward is something I’m deeply passionate about.


So whether you’re looking for a savvy agent, a little inspiration, or just someone who knows what it means to start over—you’re in the right place. I’d love to connect, share a coffee (or garden tips!), and help you plant the seeds for your next chapter.


Thanks for getting to know me — I can’t wait to get to know you.


Lisa Bain, REALTOR®

Strengthening Our Service: Restoration Training with Chris Roland of Paul Davis Restoration Growth is At REMI Realty, we are constantly looking for ways to better serve our customers—not just during the buying and selling process, but in every situation that comes with homeownership. Because in real estate, our role goes far beyond transactions. It’s about being a trusted resource, an advocate, and a steady guide—especially when the unexpected happens. Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting Chris Roland for an incredibly informative and engaging training session focused on restoration services through Paul Davis Restoration. This session provided our team with valuable, real-world insight into what homeowners experience during property damage events and how we, as real estate professionals, can step in with clarity, confidence, and solutions. Why Restoration Knowledge Matters in Real Estate Unexpected situations—such as water damage, fire loss, mold issues, or storm-related destruction—can be overwhelming for homeowners. In those moments, people aren’t just looking for answers… they’re looking for someone they trust to help guide them through the chaos. That’s where education becomes powerful. Chris walked our team through the restoration process step-by-step, helping us better understand: What happens immediately after a loss How restoration companies assess and mitigate damage The timeline of repairs and reconstruction How insurance claims typically interact with restoration services Common mistakes homeowners make during high-stress situations With this knowledge, our agents are better equipped to not only answer questions but also anticipate needs and provide direction when it matters most. Whether it’s helping a seller navigate repairs before listing or supporting a buyer dealing with an unexpected issue post-closing, this level of understanding allows us to serve at a much higher standard. Becoming a Stronger Resource for Our Community At REMI Realty, we believe that our responsibility doesn’t stop at the closing table. Our mission is rooted in being a reliable, knowledgeable presence in our community—someone our customers can turn to long after the transaction is complete. Trainings like this reinforce that mission. By building relationships with trusted professionals like Paul Davis Restoration and continuing to expand our knowledge base, we’re able to: Connect customers with the right experts quickly Provide reassurance during stressful situations Help protect property value through informed decisions Offer guidance that goes beyond basic real estate advice This is what it means to be more than just a realtor. It’s about showing up with solutions, not just answers. A Setting That Made It Even More Special We were fortunate to host this training at the beautiful Tuscan Rose Vineyards in Callahan, FL, which provided the perfect backdrop for a day of learning and collaboration. The peaceful setting created an environment where our team could truly engage, connect, and focus on growing together. We are incredibly grateful for their hospitality and for providing such a welcoming space for our brokerage. Our Commitment to Continuous Growth One of the core values at REMI Realty is growth—because when we grow, our customers benefit. We are committed to ongoing education, meaningful partnerships, and experiences that elevate the level of service we provide every single day. This training with Chris Roland is just one example of how we invest in our agents so they can better support you. Because at the end of the day, real estate isn’t just about homes—it’s about people, and being there for them in every season. Work With a Team That’s Prepared for Anything  Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or simply need guidance on your next step, our team is here to help—with knowledge, experience, and a network of trusted resources behind us. - Contact us to learn more about our team and how we can serve you. #FloridaRealEstate #SunshineState #LoveFL #NAR #Realtors #TheRealFloridaRealtors #FLRealEstate #RealTalkWithREMI #REMIRealty #FLLiving #SunshineState #WeAreNassau #StrongerTogether
