My goal is to make the entire process of home buying or selling a positive experience.

I hope to exceed your expectations before, during and after the transaction. I am a full service, hands-on REALTOR® who devotes time, energy, enthusiasm, guidance and attention to your needs.

I listen to my clients' needs, wishes and dreams and work very hard to achieve them.

90% of my business is repeat business from former clients or their referrals.

I entered the real estate business in 2000 and owe my success to:

  • The strong personal relationships I build with my clients.
  • My knowledge, integrity, life experiences, a strong sense of fairness and balance.
  • My ability to communicate well, my patience, and a sense of humor.

Ellen moved to San Francisco from New York City in 1994. Her appreciation for all the wonders of the city had multiplied greatly since then. Ellen has a strong sense of the different neighborhoods, different architectural styles of homes and a strong partnership with Lenders, Title Companies, Contractors and other resources for her clients.

Before pursuing her real estate career, Ellen was a successful publicist/personal manager for a variety of contemporary music artists. While working in the music, film and theatre business she developed a strong sense of loyalty, a high level of personal service and wonderful ability to communicate. As she always says, "I treat my clients like stars."

In her free time Ellen is an actress and is passionate about theatre, film and music.

Accolade

"Ellen is of course a true professional, who basically hand-held us first-time homebuyers throughout the entire process -- from the home search, negotiation, loan and escrow processing, and move. But what surprised us the most about Ellen was how engaged she stayed with us AFTER the purchase, in proactively reminding us about taxes, maintenance, etc., helping us find renters for our home when we moved away, and even periodically checking on our place! Ellen is not only our real estate agent, she is now a great and wonderful friend!"
--Elbert Bailey

"Ellen listened to what I was looking for and was persistent until we found exactly what I wanted. I knew I wanted Ellen to be my Realtor because she is trustworthy, loyal and dedicated. As a first time buyer, I appreciated her patience, knowledge and professionalism. She was always available to answer my questions (as trivial as they may be) and meet with me when necessary. Ellen is definitely not your typical Realtor just looking for a sale; she puts her clients' interests and needs about everything else."
--Elizabeth Burris

"Ellen combines expertise and personality in a unique way. She is very conscious of what our needs and desires were and was really flexible in resetting everything as those needs changed. I used to say that we might have been one of toughest clients as we had just moved to the United States from Italy and needed so much help to understand the complex real estate market here. She has been on our side throughout this with her flawless patience, unbelievable optimism and persistence. And she is still unexpectedly here, calling every now and then to check if everything is going well and still available with the same amount of energy and passion. And her personality… just sparkling and shining for real. We could not have realized our biggest dream of owning a house in San Francisco without Ellen on our side!"
