While I like to think that real estate is in my blood, shameless self-promotion is not. But that’s part of the business…so here’s the painful bit about who I am and what makes me tick. The Quinte region has been my home all my life, and I love this area. This is where my husband and I are running our business and raising our family. I grew up a farm girl and the daughter of a self-made real estate investor. I’ve learned to recognize the value of hard work, patience, and reasonable risk when it comes to real estate investments. Now that I’m all grown up I’ve learned these values first-hand as a homeowner and business owner. Buying or selling a home can be stressful. You want someone with integrity on your side who respects the decisions you face and who has the tenacity to help you meet your goal. My goal is to do that and more. At the end of the day, I want our working relationship to have a positive impact. You need to know that I’m someone you can count on whether it’s for a future real estate decision or simply to borrow a cup of sugar.
Elaine was incredibly professional, friendly and wise in deciding on a listing price as well as what needed to be done to increase the desirability of the home for the buyer. She did an excellent job with pre-listing advertising as well as during the listing. Everything was well prepared and she is very knowledgeable when dealing with the sale. I would highly recommend Elaine for your real estate needs - John
Reply: John, thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure helping with the sale of your beautiful home. Wishing you all the best with your move!
Elaine was remarkable when we needed to sell our home quickly to move out of the province. She was knowledgeable, responsive and set up incredible staging - a total pro! In addition she was upbeat, fun, and down to earth. Her solid and encouraging support helped us manage the fast paced process and anxious moments of selling. We believed we were in good hands and multiple offers over asking proved it! We absolutely recommend Elaine without reservation! - Susan Lang
Reply: Thank you so much Susan! It was certainly a whirlwind, but so much fun working with you! Wishing you all the best with your big move!
My husband and I were referred to Elaine by friends and are so glad we were! We were first time home buyers-we had so many questions and changed our minds a dozen times but Elaine was patient and kind, and so knowledgeable that she was able to help us find a great home in a crazy market. Would highly recommend her to anyone! - Emily Bechard
Elaine helped us sell our family home of 27 years which was difficult for us to do. She was very knowledgeable about real estate and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Elaine! - Carolyn Weese
An amazing agent! Very responsive and helpful with any question we raised. Also very calm in what can be a somewhat emotional situation when you are selling the home you have raised your family in. We love our home and are happy that the whole process was handled so professionally but with caring. Thank you Elaine! - Julie Wiarda
Reply: Thanks so much Julie! It was a pleasure helping you sell your gorgeous home!
Elaine is professional and friendly, and works hard for her clients. She was patient and always willing to show properties we were interested in and provided valuable advice. We strongly recommend Elaine to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their property. - Pat De Luca
Reply: Thanks so much for the kind words Pat! It's been such a pleasure working with you.
Exceptional agent. Very impressionable. Followed COVID guidelines when showing us homes, even brought her own wipes to wipe door knobs. Elaine was and still is a phenomenal, positive force during my husband and my search and purchase of property. She is VERY keen on ensuring follow up; detail oriented. She found on the day of final signing that the property we were signed off on was "miss posted" by the listing agent, which could have turned into a major law suit against my husband and I. Elaine continues to be a great emotional support to myself as during the building process of our "forever home" on the acre of land she helped us purchase, my husband passed away. She has NO idea how much we appreciate everything she did and continues to do for us. I feel she was under paid for her professional assistance. I would not hesitate a MINUTE to refer her to family, friends, and colleagues. She provided us with utmost care throughout our search for our forever home. Never did we feel pressured. Her email video introduction was wonderful. I could go on and on about what an excellent realtor she is, but you have to meet her and let her..." work her magic" to truly appreciate and understand my comments. Wish she had been the realtor who sold our home in Whitby. Thank you Elaine.🙏🏻 - Theresa Gottschalk
Reply: Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind review Theresa. I know things are difficult with the loss of your wonderful husband. I'm looking forward to seeing you settle into your forever home this fall!
Elaine helped us move from Yellowknife to Belleville. We were unable to come and look at houses in person, but Elaine did thorough FaceTime tours with us for every house we were interested in. She was very professional and detailed in her comments about what is or might become an issue with the houses we video toured with her. She was extremely knowledgeable - there wasn’t ever a question she couldn’t immediately answer. We are extremely happy with the house we got. It fits our family perfectly. Many thanks to Elaine for guiding us through this process. - Kimberley McFadden
Reply: Thank you for the kind words Kim! It was great finally meeting you 'face to face'. I'm looking forward to seeing your family get settled in the area.
Elaine is an extremely competent Real Estate Agent that I would most definitely highly recommend to anyone looking for a Realtor She did an exceptional job. Wonderful personality and extremely knowledgeable. - Valerie Williams
Reply: Thank you for the endorsement Valerie! It was a pleasure working with you.
It was daunting to us to have to buy a house on the other side of the country from where we live and to do that amid steeply rising house prices and a pandemic. Elaine patiently walked with us each step of the way till we found a home we could love. - Tom Baird
Reply: Welcome to Belleville Tom! It was a pleasure helping you with your home purchase.
We were very thankful to have Elaine as our realtor. She patiently worked with us during COVID, and the challenges of us being from out of town. She always answered our questions, had helpful knowledge of neighbourhoods and homes. We would have no hesitation recommending her as a realtor. Thank you Elaine! - Mark and Margaret
Elaine was on top of her game. She was available when i needed an agent to show me properties in this very hot market. She went out of her way to ensure we succeeded. - Linda
From my first meeting with Elaine, I was impressed with her friendly, caring manner and her attention to detail. She recognized that this home contained so many memories of 45 years , raising four kids and watching my nine grandchildren grow, so many family get-togethers and celebrations, sleepovers and other gatherings of my kids' friends, watching my husband make a homemade slide and a tire swing as well as doing repairs and renos on the house, until Alzheimers took him from us. Elaine let me get out my feelings, both happy and sad, about this house and what it means to me. Then the quarantine hit and it was impossible to get everything done that needed doing, but Elaine kept in touch and reassured me that I would be okay and the house would probably sell quickly - and it did! It sold in four days for more than the asking price and I am making plans to start a new phase in my life. Thank you, Elaine for your guidance and support through this process. You went the extra mile to ensure that the sale of my house, in spite of some sad memories and my concerns about moving on, was a pleasant, timely, and positive experience. Thank you so much. - Beth Phieffer
Elaine was a great realtor. She was super patient and flexible with our ever-changing desires and needs in a home. Once closed, Elaine also provided contact information of various service companies such as Electrician, painters, etc. She is also very knowledgeable of the mechanical workings of a house in the "County" such as Septic, Well, Sump-pump, etc., which was very helpful. Anyone would be very happy with Elaine in helping to find them a home. - Glen
Reply: I'm so happy to have helped you find your dream home in the County, Glen! Hope you've thoroughly enjoyed your first Christmas there and are looking forward to many more!
