. TESTIMONIALS .
A belated THANK YOU for all of your hard work in helping us sell our home. You were invaluable throughout the process and ensured a timely and smooth closing… You also went above and beyond when we hit some turbulence… We are very grateful to have you in our corner.
We are feeling like we delivered a total coup, in every sense – thank you so much again for everything you and Jen did to make it all happen, you are an amazing team. You really have been quite instrumental in our California adventure!
You are not only the best real estate agent I have worked with, but also, and most critically, a wonderful human being.
Ellen McCormick was the most inventive, patient and diligent realtor we have ever worked with. She was a joy to be around and her enthusiasm for our house and our needs never wavered. We have and will continue to recommend her to our friends.
On behalf of my wife and myself, I am writing this letter to compliment your firm for the incredible job performance by Ellen McCormick. We were so impressed with her experience and skill regarding the listing of our home that we engaged her services for the purchase of our new home in order to have her wisdom and skill on our side. Ellen is incredibly honest, genuine and straightforward. She is polite and diplomatic, but she can also be aggressive when necessary. With the utmost enthusiasm, we would recommend Ellen to anyone who was searching for an agent to sell, lease, or purchase a new home. She is an agent that you are privileged to have on your team.
Ellen, you are amazing, so smart, so talented, so calming and such a lovely person in total. We won’t let you get rid of us! I am afraid Matt will just want to sell our new house so he can work with you again! We are both really grateful for all your guidance, compassion and support. I will keep you on speed dial! Thank you very much for everything you have done for us.
Given the panic and stress of buying a new home…I could not have been in better hands, nor had more professional care than I did with Ellen McCormick. Every step of the way, from inspections to financing and to the closing, Ellen earned my trust, my confidence and my friendship. And when it came time to sell…Ellen delivered multiple offers from qualified buyers and my home sold quickly and easily. She is the only real choice for any home buyer or seller.
Ellen McCormick is a broker – a person – of exceptional taste, wisdom, and integrity. She represented me in the purchase of a beautiful Spanish gem on the Chautauqua rim, navigating through a bidding war and single-handedly assuring that I not only got the house, but also bought it at the right price… When it came time to sell, I made only one call – to Ellen. She deftly orchestrated and completed the sale at my desired price. Ellen is grace under pressure – whether buying or selling, there is no one better to have in your corner.
Ellen’s abilities are numerous, but it is her devotion to her clients that is most impressive. Her integrity, professionalism and support are never wavering and she guided us through the purchase and sale process with an unsurpassed, deep and thorough knowledge of the local real estate market. Having someone like Ellen on your side to walk you through the real estate landmines is a must. She’s the one you can trust to make sure that you’re getting the very best deal possible on all fronts.
Over the past 25 years, I have rented 2 houses, bought 4 houses, and sold 2 houses with Ellen. There is no one else I would work with – she is the best! She is savvy and on top of the market with incredible insight and provides sound advice. Besides her extensive knowledge and experience, she is a delight to work with and eases the stressful process of buying and selling!
We had a top notch experience working with Ellen who supported our family’s move from the East Coast to LA. She spent hours with us, first on zoom calls brainstorming the possibilities and then together in her car exploring various neighborhoods on the west side. Ellen was knowledgeable, patient and brought to discerning eye to the entire process. She is not that pushy agent who “falls in love” with every property. So refreshing. She helped us find and move into an amazing rental for our first year as we continued, with Ellen’s support, our search for the perfect home. When we finally found our dream home, Ellen and her team supported us through every aspect of the process from inspection to close making it low-stress and seamless. We loved getting to know Ellen and now consider her a good friend and vital resource within the community. I can’t recommend her enough!
We have bought and sold several properties with Ellen’s support. She is reliable, efficient, knowledgeable, well organized and well connected. In the 6 years that we have known Ellen, through different market cycles, we have never used another agent.
