We were very pleased with Ellen Taracido with The Collection Realty! She was very professional and knowledgeable and did a terrific job of guiding us through the purchase process, start to finish. She worked tirelessly showing us multiple properties, including in the evenings and on the weekends. Very impressed with her professionalism and integrity, and is a really sweet person also. We highly recommend Ellen, she goes above and beyond the 5 Star rating!

I have had the pleasure of knowing and dealing with Ellen and her team over the years. She has helped me purchase and rent a number of homes in the Fort Lauderdale area. They are professional and courteous, I highly recommended them for any and all of your realestate needs.

Ellen and Amanda are wonderful! This is our second time using Ellen, once before in 2011 and now again during this pandemic. She worked tirelessly on our behalf and helped us buy the home we will spend forever in. She works with some of the best folks in the business and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for all you did for us, Ellen!!

Ellen helped me buy and sell this property and she is the absolute best. If you are looking for someone to work hard for your best interest, be ethical and professional, look no further - you have found your person! She truly cares about her clients and takes care of everything every step of the way. She's outstanding!

Ellen is the best realtor I've ever met. She really goes above and beyond the call of duty to fight for your best interest. And she's always on top of each transaction, which I've done many with her. My only reservation in writing this review is that she could get too busy for me! And I don't want to lose her. She's just the best.

Ellen is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She is very reliable and without her help I could not sell my out-of-state property. I am residing in Arizona and needed to sell my condo in Fort Lauderdale. Ellen handled all necessary transactions including all tasks related to my condo. She managed all required work professionally and with an outstanding and positive attitude. I am very grateful for all the support and I am admiring Ellen's knowledge and expertise in all real estate matters. I highly recommend Ellen to everyone who needs an experienced, dedicated, hard working and honest realtor who can close the best possible deal.

We started looking to buy a house back in 2008, it wouldn't be until 2009 (on Easter day) that we would call about a house that we watched go into short sale/declining condition that we were greeted by Ellen on the other end of that phone call. What a blessing that phone call turned out to be. nEllen guided us (first time homebuyers) in what would be a terrifying experience without expert guidance involved in buying a short sale. Every single process she explained clearly and helped us understand each of our options. She never sugarcoated anything and explained the risks all along the way. During the short sale waiting period she showed us other comparable properties all while remaining incredibly patient and professional. Luckily, just like she said, the risk we took into buying a short sale was well worth the wait. We were so impressed with her and trusted her input that there was NO QUESTION as to who we would have sell the same property seven years later! nThe sale of our house was NOT an easy one but at zero fault of Ellen's... She made the process so much more bearable and always kept us updated and well informed all along the way. Ellen was absolutely on top of every detail to make sure the process happened in a timely manner and correctly, she went above and beyond. We even felt comfortable leaving the property in her hands while we moved across the country! nWe often reflect about how Ellen has made our life a better, honestly. She truly worked tirelessly to make sure we always had the best outcome and always had our best interest at heart. We wish we had her to go through this process again in our new state. nThank you again, Ellen, we can't even begin to tell you how much we truly appreciate you and all you've done for us.
