About Ellen Holmes

After 50 moves within 13 states, I have FINALLY SETTLED in Eastern North Carolina. An over 30 year career in Interior Design coupled with a desire to help people, all while raising 3 children as a Marine Corp wife has given me a unique, no nonsense approach to all things Real Estate....."Keep the Faith, Never Say Never, Be Genuine, Be Honest, Never Give Up and ALWAYS LISTEN"!

I have lived in Coastal North Carolina since June of 2000 and The Southern Outer Banks (SOBX) IS MY "Adopted" HOME!!! I was raised traveling across America and I have lived from Hawaii to Maine, Florida to Washington and many places in between. "Blossom Where You Are Planted" was always the family motto and every move afforded me a hands on, real life understanding of the nuances, challenges and intricacies of MOVING!

My extensive knowledge of Real Estate is from a childhood filled with a selfless, loving and generous MOM who practiced Real Estate in 5 states after a Comprehensive career as a psychiatric Registered Nurse. I spent many an afternoon helping her study for Real Estate Exams, attending Open Houses and Assisting her in a Pre-Technology era to sell and list homes. I also spent hours of my "Bus Riding" childhood days, writing down For Sale By Owner (FSBO'S) for her to contact .......Real Estate and Design is in my Genes I believe!!! Additionally, I have previously held a Real Estate License in Hawaii.

Through a lifetime of moving, my family and I remodeled and flipped houses long before it was known as "flipping". With this hands on knowledge of real estate/construction/design I have a distinct and unique intuitive ability to provide comprehensive services for all your Real Estate needs. My additional long term career as an Interior Designer allows me to assist seller and buyers visualize possibilities and correct hindrances to properties.

Homes.com Review

Ellen is a fantastic realtor to work with. She worked really hard to find us the perfect home for our family. I would, and have, recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a home or wanting to sell. Her dedication to our family puts her heads and shoulders above all other realtors. Her knowledge of the area and her willingness to share that knowledge with us helped tremendously in our decision-making during our house hunting.

My husband and I originally went to Ellen looking to rent a place. She was very nice the whole time and did not try to talk us into buying a house. After she showed us a few places, my husband and I went home, talked about it, and decided we would want to buy a home instead. We called Ellen and let her know, she was more than accommodating through the whole process. It was then in August, Ellen joined me on what we didn't know at the time would be a long journey to success. Through the next seven months we knew exactly which house we wanted (it was the second one we had seen). Ellen never gave up hope, and did everything in her power to help us move the process forward. She did never doubt we were going to get this house. I worked hard, but she worked equally as hard. Through it all I felt as though she truly cared about us getting a house, not making a sale. Some of the time I spent in her office it became apparent every customer gets this treatment. When we sat down for closing in March. I was so happy to be sitting down with her. For a first time home buying military family she was excellent. She answered every question I had through the whole process with as much information as she could. If she did not know the answer to that question, she referred me to someone who would. Just to let you know, Ellen hardly ever does not know someone or some way to help you in this process. She was excellent, I will go to her again would we sell or buy a new house in the future. Recommending her to anyone would be a pleasure. I cannot say enough nice things about Ellen. I sit here in the home my husband and I fell in love with, which is now ours! I am eternally grateful for Ellen and her skills. You will not regret it, if you should chose her.

I have worked and known Ellen for nearly 2 years; she is ALWAYS on top of matching people and houses, and then helping them to transform them into their HOME. She is master networker who can help take care of anything with a call to her bottomless rolladex! She is bright, innovative and brings the human element back into home sales. I have many clients whom are in need of good housing and I can trust Ellen to take care of them and not take advantage of them. That means everything to me. If you want to work with someone who will absolutely fit you, your needs, your budget into the Right Home in the Right Place, Ellen is absolutely your best contact in the region. D. Paine
