About Ellen

There’s nothing like the thrill of finding your first - or your fourth home. I know how hard, yet satisfying, it can be to let go of a house you have loved, to relocate near or far, and how exciting it is to find the house that checks enough of your boxes so that you see ‘home’ instead of house. After living in many places, in the US and abroad, I sold my longtime home in Los Angeles and returned to NY where I was born and raised. After looking in many areas, my husband and I chose the Hudson Valley and landed in Kingston. The surrounding natural beauty, the walkability of local towns, the great shops and restaurants, minimal traffic, and easy access to NYC reaffirms our choice over and over again. A lifelong student of the arts, architecture and interior design, I’ve been reading the NY Real Estate section since I was a teenager. I am addicted to online real estate sites – which has been a real primer on marketing. In my previous career as a documentary television producer, I learned how to listen to, and work with all kinds of people, budgets and schedules to tell a story. I look forward to meeting you and to facilitate the next chapter in your story, whether it be by selling or buying your home.
