Ellwood Paisley

Ellwood "Woody" Paisley likes working in real estate because he enjoys sharing his knowledge of the shore with his clients. "I call it 'my island,'" Woody said of Ocean City. "I spent my childhood vacations here and never left."
Having spent every summer here in his long life, Woody knows the ins and outs of the different neighborhoods and what they have to offer. So if a buyer is looking for a house close to the beach but not too close that parking is an issue, but also close to the shopping, parks and a good restaurant, Woody knows exactly where they can find the right home. After all, "location, location, location" is the mantra of a good real estate agent.
Born in April 1945, Woody and his wife, Susan, spent summer vacations in Ocean City with their children Ashley, Christopher, Nathan and Brandon. "I've been here every summer of my life. I've been through the '62 storm, all of the hurricanes. I have a lot of local knowledge that a veteran of the island would know about."
Born and raised in Haddon Heights, NJ, Woody graduated from Ursinus College in 1968 with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science, then served in the US Navy from 1968 to 1972.
After his long love affair with the resort, he finally moved to the area in 1979. Woody worked for Admiral Nissan in Egg Harbor Township from 1980-2016. He also worked for Berger Realty from 2000-2016 before joining The Grisbaum Group at Long & Foster Real Estate.Woody enjoys the process of finding the right home for a buyer. He loves Ocean City and loves to share his knowledge.
Outside of work, Woody enjoys ocean kayaking and watching the Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies and Union.
