David Ellis has joined the sales team at Conway Commercial, a division of the Jack Conway Real Estate Co.

Ellis will work out of the Conway-Quincy office concentrating on the sale and leasing of retail, office, industrial and investment properties, according to a statement. He previously served as a commercial sales agent in the Plymouth area.

"We’re excited about the major commercial developments planned for Quincy and Weymouth," said Paul Durgin, vice president of Conway Commercial. "Dave will help us service those and other areas of our marketplace. He has a solid background in commercial sales as well as in construction and financing."

Ellis grew up in the world of real estate as the oldest son of Jay Ellis, owner of Ellis Building Corp. in Marshfield.

"I worked with my father’s company building custom homes in Marshfield, Hingham and Scituate," said Ellis. "My degree is in finance, but I decided to become a Realtor because I love the tangible aspect of real estate. As a builder, you come to appreciate that."

Ellis is an ambassador for the South Shore Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the South Shore Young Professionals Sponsorship Committee. He also serves on the executive board of the Marshfield/Pembroke/Duxbury Business Council.
