Elise is a dedicated and compassionate real estate professional with almost 20 years of experience in real estate and a strong background in education and community service. After graduating from Wells College, Elise made Ithaca her home, where she continues to build meaningful connections in the area.
Her journey began with a rewarding role at HOMES Inc., an agency dedicated to supporting adults with disabilities. Inspired by this work, Elise pursued a master's degree from LeMoyne College and earned her New York State teaching certification. This led to a fulfilling career as a special education teacher at Fall Creek Elementary, where she honed her skills in patience, communication, and problem-solving.
Understanding how overwhelming the process of finding a new home and moving can be, Elise sought to combine her passion for helping others with an interest in real estate. This led to earning her real estate licensure from New York State.
Now, as a real estate agent, Elise is excited to put her experience, skills, and deep knowledge of the Ithaca area to work for both homebuyers and sellers. Whether you're looking for your first home, seeking an investment property, or preparing to sell, Elise is committed to guiding you every step of the way with care and expertise.
