About Ellen

I’m a South Florida real estate professional with a career built on market knowledge, negotiation, strategy, and a genuine commitment to my clients.
Since entering South Florida real estate in 2009, I have built extensive experience across Fort Lauderdale and surrounding communities, representing buyers and sellers in residential properties, luxury real estate, new construction, and condominiums. My approach is grounded in understanding the details that drive a successful transaction—from pricing and positioning to contracts, negotiation, marketing, and risk management.

I have a particular connection to Poinsettia Heights, where I have lived since 2009. As a longtime Fort Lauderdale resident, I bring firsthand knowledge of the neighborhood and its surrounding communities. I am passionate about helping Poinsettia Heights homeowners understand their property's value and strategically prepare, price, market, and sell their homes.
My experience also includes significant work in the Fort Lauderdale condominium market, particularly downtown Fort Lauderdale, as well as serving on the sales teams for two ultra-luxury pre-construction developments, Riva and Adagio. These experiences have given me valuable insight into new development, construction, design, pricing, contracts, and the expectations of today's luxury buyers.

Before real estate, I developed my negotiation skills in the fast-paced New York City garment industry. I later purchased, renovated, and sold properties of my own in Manhattan, which sparked my passion for real estate and for transforming properties and navigating complex transactions.

Today, as a Broker Associate with Compass and Principal of The Performance Group, I combine local market expertise with sophisticated marketing, technology, and the resources of a global real estate company.

I am also deeply involved in the real estate profession. I serve as a Florida Realtors Director, Code of Ethics instructor, Ombudsman, and member of the Professional Standards Committee, and hold the National Association of Realtors' C2EX endorsement.

My goal is simple: to provide clients with the information, strategy, and representation they need to make smart real estate decisions—and to make the process as organized, transparent, and enjoyable as possible.
