Trustworthy and reliable

We’ve worked with Elaine a few times now and recommended her to our friends. She’s thoughtful and trustworthy, doesn’t try to make a quick sell, gives you space and time to make decisions, standing by when you need her help. She also follows up way beyond escrow closes. We’re glad we found her to help guide us through a major transition and would never hesitate to work with her again.

A true professional with down home charm....

Elaine was recommended to me by close friends and she didn't disappoint. She is very knowledgeable in the laws and her experience garnered me some extra internal insurances. She is very thorough and 100% accessible answering all my phone calls, texts and emails quickly. I appreciated her patience most of all since she had to spoon-feed me important information which I lacked.

Elaine is a true professional

Elaine knows the area like the back of her hand. She is very knowledgeable about all of the transaction. Both selling and buying. We bought the house with her help and trusted her when we sold it. She helped with a variety of situations without skipping a beat. 5 stars

Terrific Agent!

Elaine went above and beyond my expectations. Her attention to detail, her integrity, her fantastic communication skills, and her attitude and perspective were exceptional. Her motto, "Easy & Effortless," was the foundation of our relationship and her skill with which she used to handle any situation, kept all obstacles from becoming an issue. She was so patient with me, answering all my questions, and never commented on my high-maintenance personality. If you want to work with an agent who dots every "i" and crosses every "t" without you needing to be involved, Elaine is the agent for you. She delivers in spades.

The best of Palos Verdes Realtors!

Elaine represented us in the purchase and sale of our home. Her professionalism, dedication, and diligence is unmatched. She is incredibly thorough and stayed on top of every detail throughout the process to ensure we did not encounter surprises and had an on-time closing. Her market knowledge and experience helped us meet and exceed our goal sale price. I cannot recommend Elaine enough.
