Lisa Coulter is a lifelong St. Louisan who can’t say enough about the city. “I’m crazy about the place!” she says, listing parks and museums, sports teams and theaters, green spaces and waterways. She grew up in Ladue, went away for college, and was lured back by her town’s Midwestern friendliness and authenticity. She attended Washington University Law School before obtaining her real estate license in 1989. She now lives in Briarcliff, “a wonderful Leave it to Beaver neighborhood in Ladue.” Coulter and her business partner Linda Benoist have worked together at Janet McAfee Real Estate since 2000.
