After 46 moves in my lifetime, I have finally settled in Emerald Isle, North Carolina. An almost 30 year career in Interior Design coupled with a desire to help people, all while raising 3 children as a Marine Corp wife has given me a unique, no nonsense approach to all things Real Estate. Keep the Faith, Never Say Never, Be Genuine, Be Honest, Never Give Up and ALWAYS LISTEN”!

I have lived in The Coastal North Carolina area since June of 2000 and The Southern Outer Banks (SOBX) IS MY “Adopted” HOME!!! I was raised traveling across America and I have lived from Hawaii to Maine, Florida to Washington and many places in between. “Blossom Where You Are Planted” was always the family motto and every move afforded me a hands on, real life understanding of the nuances, challenges and intricacies of MOVING!

“After having negative experiences with several agents, I was referred to Ellen. Within 5 min of that referral she called me to introduce herself and get to know what I was looking for. She was always available for communication and if she didn’t have an answer, she would find out and follow up promptly. She is so knowledgeable in real estate and through networking she has contacts that make the process run even smoother. If you are interested in a property, she will have that info to you within hours. She was a step ahead the whole way. People get jealous when I tell them how much my realtor did for me. Ms. Ellen will be my go to realtor from here on out.” ~ Client Review

“Ellen is an amazing Realtor. I referred to her as a rockstar because that is what she is. If you called Ellen with any kind of a question, you got a response back almost immediately. That was very refreshing. Ellen’s knowledge of the New Bern area, where we just bought a home ,was extremely helpful. She was able to give us many different recommendations for restaurants, shopping, activities etc. which helped make our transition into New Bern much easier. When we discovered some issues with the new house, Ellen was successful in negotiating a favorable reduction in the price. Ellen is very professional, personable and incredibly hard-working. I promise you that you will not be disappointed if you ask Ellen to represent you either as a seller or a buyer. As I said, she is a rockstar and we were so lucky to connect with her. Thank you Ellen!!” ~ Client Review
