about ellen

My life credo is: Simplicity is brilliance. Let’s simply begin with an introductory call – I would love to hear about your intentions and life vision.

Are We a Match?
I find most people want a quality life: balance in family, work and play. I attract and have the privilege of working with the coolest clients. We share a warmth and mutual respect, have a great time together and our communication is excellent. People say that I make the process of buying and selling so easy for them. The truth is the process of serving them is so easy for me!

I believe in creating goodwill by giving without expectation of anything in return. Please help yourself to a range of complimentary services and maintain your independence. My follow-up with you is at your request. I treat others the way I like to be treated.

Help Make Seattle a Better Place
One of my favorite charities is Locks of Love. Locks of Love provides hairpieces for children who suffer from long-term medical hair loss. Locks of Love uses donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. I am donating my locks soon, so stay tuned for a new picture for my web site!

Ellen’s Story
I had a great up-bringing in eastern Oregon, moved to the big city of Portland and then migrated north to the Emerald City in 1994. My family has long roots in the Northwest and most of them live in the Portland area now. I absolutely love Seattle; our mountains and waterways bring a sense of joy and peace in my life. I am truly happy here! Ellen’s favorite Seattle places.

My website includes images of my son and some of my personal artwork, lamps and glasswork. On the buyer page you can see part of a mural that my great Aunt painted of our family cabin on Langdon Lake. The part you can’t see is my dog Zuri chasing a butterfly! A 14 year old girl re-created the original painting on the side of my neighbor’s garage (with their approval of course!).



Not every buyer's agent is a competent seller's agent and
vice versa.
Ellen is an expert
in both areas.
