Ellen was the best broker we have worked with. Professional, friendly, prompt with answering any questions that we had - she must sleep with her phone! Paperwork always in order and delivered personally to go over items. We have recommended her to all our friends to use Ellen when needing to sell their cottage on Frye Island. The service could not have been any better, clients and R.E. firms will be very happy to have her on their side.
Ellen was exceptionally helpful during both the process of selling our home and buying a new one. She was transparent, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Ellen was able to provide a solid recommendation for professionals required for inspections, insurance, etc, saving us time and money. She also had a smile and a sense of humor at a time that can be stressful. We would highly recommend Ellen as a broker to anyone.
Over the past six years, I've had the pleasure of working with Ellen on three real estate transactions totaling over $4.3 million. What sets Ellen apart is the rare combination of genuine warmth, sharp professionalism, and an unwavering determination to make every step of the process as smooth as possible. She is incredibly responsive, unfailingly kind, and brings an energy and positivity that makes even the most stressful moments feel manageable. One of our transactions was particularly complex, involving an out-of-state buyer and a number of moving pieces that could have easily gone sideways. Ellen navigated every detail with confidence and grace. She is so well regarded by her colleagues across the industry — from lenders to inspectors to photographers — that people genuinely go the extra mile for her, and that goodwill flows directly to her clients. When we needed professional photography of an island property on a tight timeline, Ellen had a photographer on-site within 24 hours and photos ready almost immediately. That's not luck — that's the kind of trust and respect you earn over a career of doing things right. Whether you're buying or selling, facing a straightforward transaction or a complicated one, Ellen will shepherd you through every step with care, competence, and a personal touch that is increasingly rare in this business. I trusted her with three transactions over six years, and each experience only deepened my confidence in her. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
Ellen was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was incredibly responsive to all of our questions, no matter how big or small. Her extensive knowledge of Frye Island, where we purchased our property, was invaluable, and we are extremely grateful for her assistance.
