With a powerhouse financial background and a reputation for exceptional discretion, Ellen stands as a trusted advisor to clients who expect the highest level of service. Her approach blends refined professionalism with the tenacity required to secure results in the luxury market. Those who work with her value her integrity, her ability to listen with intention, and her consistent record of delivering beyond expectations.

Ellen offers a modern, concierge-style real estate experience—tailored, transparent, and strategically guided. A full-time agent with unwavering energy and focus, she combines sharp market intelligence with seamless communication. Her 20 years on Wall Street give her an elevated understanding of wealth, investment strategy, and the priorities of high-net-worth clients. Whether navigating a complex negotiation or securing a rare property, she brings a level of sophistication that sets her apart.

Her advantage extends far beyond what’s publicly listed. With deep relationships across Rye, Westchester, and Fairfield County, Ellen has the inside track on upcoming and off-market opportunities—giving her buyers first access to homes that rarely hit the market. For sellers, she leverages these same networks to discreetly position properties to qualified buyers seeking exclusivity.

A Rye resident for more than 25 years, Ellen offers true insider perspective: community insight, micro-market expertise, and a pulse on neighborhood trends that only a long-time local can provide. She and her family are woven into the fabric of the community, giving her clients a level of access and understanding they can’t find online.

Her marketing strategy is equally elevated, combining high-end branding, world-class presentation, and cutting-edge digital exposure to reach the most discerning buyers. Dual-licensed in New York and Connecticut, she offers a broader strategic view for clients navigating multiple luxury markets.

More than an agent, Ellen is a trusted partner—guiding clients to the right home, the right investment, and the right lifestyle fit. For those seeking discretion, access, and an advisor with true luxury-market fluency, Ellen delivers an experience defined by exclusivity and excellence.
