My Professional Focus and Expertise

My career in real estate began over twenty years ago. I have lived on Queen Anne since 1987 and I specialize in this community. Because of my strong referral base, I am very knowledgeable of the Queen Anne and Magnolia markets as well as other nearby neighborhoods. My buyers and sellers have taken me as far north as Innis Arden, as far east as Snoqualmie Summit, as far south as West Seattle and as far west as Magnolia. Over the past nine years I have sold or listed many homes in the Queen Anne and Magnolia neighborhoods ranging in price from $120,000 - $3,400,000.

My Career Goals

"To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity". Douglas Adams.
Every day I am thankful for this career. I love people and love being challenged. Real Estate brings me together with a wonderful variety of people and every day I have the opportunity to perfect my listening skills, interior design background, marketing skills, negotiating skills, mediating skills, networking abilities and more. As each one of these skills gets fine tuned, I have the privilege of sharing these valuable skills with my buyers and sellers. There is nothing more gratifying than to find the "best house for the best price" for my buyers or getting the "best" terms for my sellers. With that said, the most rewarding part is the journey. I cherish the relationships that I have made over the years. My commitment to my clients is always to put knowledge, service, integrity and honesty first. This commitment is reflected in the strong referral business I have developed, with over 95 per cent coming from satisfied clients.

Personal

I moved to Seattle in 1980 from New England. I am a seasoned traveler, entrepreneur and Mom. In raising two active boys on Queen Anne, I totally understand how important it is to live in a community that embraces its residents and offers a vitality of community. My in-depth knowledge of the community service programs, sports programs, Seattle public and private school systems helps me to be a valuable asset to my clients and friends. If you don’t find me working in real estate, you’ll find me hiking somewhere around the world.

My personal goal is to exceed your expectations!

Her knowledge of the market and her friendly and compassionate nature provide a wonderful basis from whichto complete a real estate business transaction. She listens, and helps with so many details over and beyond; she is creative and gives excellent advice preparing the property for sale. On the buying side she is diligent and works intently to provide the best options suited to the market. We love working with her.

Helped me buy home

We are so fortunate to have met Ellen! We owe so much to her for finding us our dream home and making sure that our offer was accepted in such a competitive housing market. We have very specific and unusual needs in a house and she was a great listener and patient with us. Throughout the process to purchase a home she was thoughtful and an advocate for us from start to finish. We don't want to imagine how things might have gone had we not had her on our side!

My sister and I inherited our father’s home close to the first days of COVID-19 in Seattle. Regulations were at first unclear, and then changing, in terms of how to keep the townhouse in good working order and then how to prepare it for sale. Ellen did a masterful job of staying on top of the various regulations while keeping a close eye on the market and goal of selling the townhouse, when conditions were right. She was also very sensitive to our personal needs and emotions during a trying time for us as a family and the nation and world as a whole. Ellen went out of her way to ensure the townhouse was in prime condition, within agreed-upon budget limits, and, very considerately, also added personal touches that increased saleability. She was very strategic in how she organized the contract process and very thorough, and collaborative, in reviewing the various contracts so the final choice was a collective decision. We couldn’t be happier with Ellen’s professionalism and her interpersonal skills – clearly, a winning combination.
