We have worked with numerous real estate agents over the past 45 years and found Ellen to be one of the best! Real estate isn’t just about being knowledgeable and experienced, although Ellen is both. She is also clearly honest, personable, patient, a great listener and great communicator. Ellen kept us informed, worked hard, went out of her way to help us find a property within our 1031 exchange deadline and budget, but we never felt pushed or rushed, even though we know there are times when you must move quickly. When one option started to look like a dead end road, Ellen strategically and resourcefully helped us find an even better option. We are extremely happy and pleasantly surprised with the end result! We highly recommend her for all types of real estate assistance.

Ellen did an incredible job helping me buy my first home! From the very beginning, I could tell she was extremely knowledgeable and was happy to work within my budget. She patiently explained all steps of the home buying process to me, and once I found my dream home, Ellen made sure that my offer was competitive, leading to a fast closing. Ellen is extremely professional and is always willing to go above and beyond to make sure that you are happy.

We loved working with Ellen! As first time home buyers, we really appreciated how patient and informative Ellen was. She listened to all our needs- price point, neighborhoods, sq footage etc. and was never pushy or dismissive, but always helped expand our search and see other positives in homes that we couldn’t always see initially. We ended up in an area that wasn’t even on our list, but we’re so happy she showed us our listing that ultimately ended up being our home. Ellen is a complete joy to work with! We’ll be recommending her to all our friends and colleagues when they look for real estate.
