Ellen Bendavid

We were extremely fortunate to have Ellen as our realtor. She had previously sold a challenging home on our street and we sought her out to sell ours. We were not disappointed. We were so impressed by what a hard worker and real go-getter she is. Ellen was a true professional who had an array of professionals that made our sale as stress-free as possible. She was so dedicated, and successfully helped us get the highest price in the quickest amount of time. She is extremely knowledgeable and simply the best realtor in the area. We would definitely recommend Ellen to anyone preparing to put their house on the market. Thank you again Ellen for a great experience. Mike and Debbie Byrne

Since we've now completed the trifecta of real estate actions--finding a rental, buying a house, and selling a house--we can highly recommend Ellen for all three of those! The long version, in terms of selling: Ellen gave us outstanding advice throughout the process of selling our home. She helped us wade through the sea of options for what to do to prep the house for selling. Ellen has an amazing group of folks to work with to get the tasks done that we didn't have time to. She was an excellent sounding board when things didn't go as planned. After we listed, Ellen was excellent at communicating offers and helping us navigate the options. As we went through escrow and close, Ellen made sure we were on track with all of the documentation and submissions. At the end of it all, the close went off without a hitch. Summing up, we've had excellent experiences with Ellen through all three phases of our real estate journey, and highly recommend her.

Ellen was so awesome that we worked with her twice--once to find a rental and again when we bought our home! Ellen has a masterful understanding of the home buying process, she knows the Conejo Valley and its surrounding areas very well, and always ready to share her wisdom throughout the search, offer, negotiation, close, and habitation phases of buying a house. She's someone you'll be glad you have in your corner.

Ellen Bendavid is a GEM. She devoted her LIFE to helping us through the incredibly lengthy, at times emotionally draining process of buying and selling a home. When there was a disappointment (and there were quite a few) she genuinely showed concern and understanding and didn’t attempt to belittle the disappointments and frustration. Having 5 small children and viewing homes constantly and having to vacate our home almost on a weekly basis was NOT easy. Ellen did her utmost to lighten the load by helping to watch out children so we can see homes. She put her heart and soul into each showing of our home, treating every walk-in as a potential customer. There is so much more to say about Ellen, but I would like to conclude with example that is an indication of how her customers are treated like FAMILY. When we moved into our new home we were immediately faced with an unforeseen challenge with was very uncomfortable for us and was costing us $ that seemed completely unfair. Despite all the protestations of the insurance company that this isn’t their responsibility, Ellen fought tooth and nail and got them to help pay for it! She cares ALOT about her clients and we were very fortunate to have found such a wonderful and experienced agent.

Can't say enough in praise & recommendation of Ellen. She was recommended by a close friend, which can sometimes go either way, but she proved a highly competent and personable partner in our effort to sell our Sherman Oaks house from 3,000 miles away in Florida. Given that we were absentee owner/sellers, Ellen had to take on much of the work herself to deal with tenants, property managers, neighbors, to prep the house, and to clearly and frequently communicate with us what was going on. All this Ellen handled as well as anyone could have ever hoped, and so my wife and I are indebted and grateful to Ellen for her services.

It is challenging to put into words the exceptional professional attention one receives with Ellen as one’s real estate broker. As an added benefit one also acquires a special and genuine friendship! Ellen takes the time to really get to know you and listens to where one is at in the home buying cycle. Ellen helped me look for a home for about 2 years. I had all kinds of reasons as to why I could not or should not purchase a home- and Ellen listened to me and very patiently and gently proved me wrong. She partners with an amazing Lender who is as committed as she is and they both work pretty much around the clock and are timely with responses. I am a home owner in the #1 community I desired to live in! Ellen worked so hard to ensure we closed in 30 days. From the moment I put in an offer to the moment I received my keys, Ellen has been as warm and supportive as she can be. In this 2 year process, Ellen has met me at every appt timely! She has offered to watch & feed my child so I can take one, two, three more looks at any given time. To say Ellen is remarkable is an understatement. Thank you Ellen for loving what you do so much because it truly makes a difference! Upon closing, Ellen also makes a donation back to the community she serves!
