Learn About Elaine

  I know you would like to work with a real estate agent that has the credentials, personality or background that is important to you. An agent can't (as much as we would like) be all things to all people.

I offer the following information to you as a way for you to get to know me better. If you like what you read, I welcome the opportunity to work with you for your real estate needs.


My Promise To You
I promise to give my clients the very best service possible and to be accessible to them when they need me. I strive to respond to calls as quickly as possible and to answer questions promptly.

In this rapidly changing industry, I stay up-to-date on the latest Internet and media tools to better market my seller's homes where the buyers are searching for their new home. Because I know that clients need ... and want ... information to assist them when making decisions, I provide them with custom reports to help them make those decisions. I believe in working as a TEAM with my clients to achieve their goals and to celebrate our success at closing.

When you call 614-825-8860, you will automatically be connected to my cell phone. That way I'm never out-of-reach to my clients. Over the years, I've found they really appreciate this level of accessibility without having to call numerous numbers to reach me.

Personal Life
Murphy dachshund realtorI have two loving daughters (and two great sons-in-law) plus four terrific grandaughters. I am very blessed as all are wonderful and I am so proud of them!

I am known to be a "dog person". After having Dobermans for 17 years, and painfully losing them to diseases that often occur in this breed, I now share my life with Murphy, aka "The Murph", a miniature, long-haired dachshund that assists me when I have real estate errands to do.
