Having grown up in a family of REALTORS®, it must be in Ellen’s blood to be involved in this business. Prior to getting licensed as a REALTOR®, she developed an acumen for customer service, relationship building and marketing, by selling print and online advertising for twenty years.
Ellen’s home environment has always been important to her. In Ellen’s quest for a home that would fulfill all her needs, she lived in many different Chicago neighborhoods, in many diverse types of property. After years of buying, selling, fixing-up and moving, Ellen finally found and improved a home in which she wanted to stay put. But that left a big void in her life since Ellen had become somewhat of a real estate hobbyist. That’s when she decided to follow in the family footsteps and get her real estate license. Ellen guesses it’s a natural progression when you think about it. Now she has the luxury of putting her analytical, selling and promotional skills together with something about which she is passionate.
A Chicago resident for more than twenty-five years, Ellen has lived in DePaul, Bucktown, Wicker Park, Lincoln Square, Edgewater and Andersonville. In the past ten years she has sold properties across the city from Rogers Park to the Gold Coast, from Uptown to West Town, and from Logan Square to North Center. Witnessing the transformations of each of these neighborhoods has been like watching different flowering plants come into bloom.
Chicago is a fantastic city whose richly varied neighborhoods make it ever more exciting. Every neighborhood and every property have its advantage. Discovering them and making them shine is a job Ellen has found to be a perfect match for her life. Ellen has great instincts, coupled with a strong set of analytical skills. She thoroughly understands how and when to buy and sell.
As a buyer or a seller, you are hungry for information. Because most people don't move often, the process is not familiar territory. Ellen’s approach is to arm you with valuable information and advice. In doing so, Ellen will earn your trust and make your real estate experience a good one.
