Testimonials

This is the first time that I can remember actually being happy to give somebody a check. I had been working with 2 other realtors besides Ellen, to find the right rental house for my family and Ellen got us the houes we really wanted, even after another realtor told me it was off the market. Her persistence and thoughtfulness is extremely appreciated by us... Thank You

- Rob Golove


Dear Kim,

So sorry I haven't come up for air till now to respond to you.

I want to thank you for the work and interest you gave to me in your efforts toward selling my house. You brought a warm bright light with you and a generous spirit. Your presence during the open houses made all the difference in the team playing to successful events.

I found a new friend in you and so appreciate the thoughtfulness of putting together a picture book of house for me to have as a keepsake. I will always think of you and remember my loving team from Laffey when I get to see it and show it to friends. I can't wait to see it myself!!! Really, Ellen, I can't get over what you did for me.

I'm beyond touched.

My new address is wonderful... right across from Lincoln Center so you must let me know when you are in the city to meet up for lunch and great chatting as always.

Warm regards to you and again, many thanks for all that you did!

- Karen Moss 

She showed me many properties for sale so that I, who had no experience buying a house, could make a decision about buying a house, and helped me understand what aspects to compare and what was important. She was very friendly, responded quickly to my requests, and helped me through closing.

Ellen Kim was extraordinary sales lady. She did all what ever she promised to do & on time. She always answered our concerns. Finally she sold our house; probably for what ever we could get at the market at that time. We recommend her to others. She was pleasure to deal with. Yelena & yeheskel.

Ellen was extremely helpful throughout the process of selling my home. Ellen is a very knowledgeable, proactive real estate professional, who was always available when we needed her.

Ellen was knowledgeable and very accessible. She was a great help in buying our home.she made a very stressful process easier to navigate. I would highly recommend Ellen.

Working with Ellen as our real estate agent was an  outstanding experience. Her dedication and expertise were evident throughout our house hunting journey. Despite the extended duration of nearly half a year, Ellen remained patient and enthusiastic, ensuring we found our perfect home. Her vast knowledge of the local market and keen attention to detail saved us time and effort. Ellen’s professionalism, excellent communication, and comprehensive approach met our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend Ellen for her outstanding service and unwavering commitment. Thank you, Ellen, for making our dream home a reality!

I became aware of Ellen through he sale of another home in my neighborhood. although I wasn't quite ready to sell, I was impressed that she got top dollar for that one very quickly. I reached out to her and made an appointment to meet with her and my wife. As a professional, Ellen is extremely prepared. She of course shared her personal experience as well as the high reputation of her company. Then she went to work. Ellen did an extensive analysis with us of recent sales in the neighborhood and how we could position ourselves in the market. She made suggestions regarding some "Tweaks" that we could make to present the house in its uniqueness.For the next two weeks, she followed up with us guiding us through the process and set up a a showing two weeks later. As a sales person, Ellen is amazing. She was able to highlight all of the admirable features of our home. We had two full price offers within a day close to record prices. Now here is the important part, Ellen understood what the emotional impact that the selling of a home where we raised our family is. She made sure that we were taken care of after the sale, (That we had resources and trusted contacts for the next phase of our journey). Ellen made this process so easy that it is almost hard to believe that we sold a home of 22 years. It was easier than buying a car. Thanks for everything Ellen!

Ellen Kim helped me in my purchase of my second home. I had contacted her regarding a beautiful home in Old Westbury. Ellen was very easy to speak to and to help negotiate with the seller. She has very good availability and services. Even after the purchase of my home she referenced me to multiple contractors for renovation and remodeling of the property. Overall great experience working with Ellen and look forward to doing business with her again in the future.

Ellen was excellent. Ellen was very knowledgeable about the process, great at guiding us and very helpful with her tips. She quickly learned about the area we wanted to focus on. She was extremely responsive to our calls/texts and emails and always advocated for our priorities and needs. On top of that, she was always friendly and had a positive attitude. It was a pleasure working with Ellen and we highly recommend her.

Knowledgable real estate agent that knows the local market well and understood our needs. Expert advise given throughout the entire process helping us feel comfortable.

I loved working with Ellen. She sold my house in Muttontown just before the pandemic hit. The buyer were making earthing so much harder then it needed to be & Ellen professionally defat with them (since the buyer was also the real estate agent (VERY unprofessional)) After we closing we went out celebrating. This is not just a job fo her, she is passionate about what she does and goes above & beyond any real estate agent I have ever met.
