We could not have had better representation and guidance selling one Main Street than Ellen Henderson. She is a star. Wm Pitt is lucky she chose Your firm . Thank you James & Seena Parker
Ellen was truly wonderful to work with and I am very appreciative of her assistance. She made my first home buying experience one to remember. I can’t speak highly enough of her. Thanks again, Ellen. Taylor Doyle
Working with Ellen was a wonderful experience. She used all of her resources to help us find the perfect home. Ellen knew what type of home we were looking for right off the back, was very honest, and was always available for assistance. She made our buying experience painless. We will definitely look to Ellen when purchasing another home in the future. Katie Mayott, Buyer
If you are looking to work with someone on your next real estate transaction who will represent you in the most lucrative and professional manner, Ellen is an excellent advisor with whom to partner. She is responsive, knowledgeable and detail-oriented. She really listens and puts in the time and work that is necessary to close the deal in your favor. Ellen has advised and represented me on a variety of transactions - residential rentals and purchases, as well as commercial rentals and purchases. Her extensive experience has consistently guided me to positive outcomes, time and time again. She gets deals done to the advantage of her clients, and once you have been her client, she is a competent and knowledgeable resource on whom you can depend, even after the deal closes. Jada Carlson Loutit, Property Manager, Commercial Holdings in Essex
Ellen worked tirelessly to ensure that we found the right house for us. That took dedication and determination, and a keen eye on the market that saw us make an offer on a house the very first day it hit the market. Our home was comfortably in our budget range and ticked all of the "boxes" for both of us. With very little available in the marketplace, her speed and great skill with pricing won the day. Later, she was very helpful in helping us to source talent for some renovations. Ellen has spent a lifetime on the Connecticut Shoreline, and it showed in her deep knowledge of the local residential market. We cannot recommend her more highly. Jada and Douglas M. Loutit, Essex Home Buyer
Ellen had a ton of patience with me - we saw a lot of houses. We were successful in buying and selling within two month of each other. Yea! Anthony & Anne Mele
Ellen is a fantastic real estate agent. She helped us find and close on our first house after countless showings and biddings during a very competitive market. Ellen is patient, experienced and really knows what her clients are looking for. We would highly recommend Ellen to our friends and family. Chris and Melissa C, Buyer
Our experience with Ellen was truly terrific. This includes buying two homes and selling one. On every occasion Ellen was the supreme professional. Her judgment and counsel were invaluable. Moreover, she is completely client-centric with a keen eye on what works and what doesn’t. We would not hesitate to work with Ellen again and We have recommended her to many friends and colleagues. The easiest 5 Stars we have ever given. Ann and Martin M, Buyers and Sellers
Ellen Henderson and Colette Harron represented us in selling our family home in SE Connecticut. Quite simply, they exceeded our expectations as sellers at every step along the journey. They were a great match to our market niche; they gave us expert advice on pricing strategy and tactics during the exceptional market conditions of the COVID pandemic; handled viewings flawlessly; were extremely responsive to our questions and concerns 24/7; flattened out any bumps in the road along the way; and guided us expertly through to a successful, on-time closing. We cannot say enough good things about Ellen and Colette and we highly recommend their services. Jeremy & Sarah C, Sellers
Your Realtor, Ellen Henderson, was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with! Being the seller, I was unsure of many aspects of the business of marketing a house, particularly a house that needed lots of repairs. Ellen was with me, as my coach and advisor, from the very first moment she stepped onto the property. She explained the best way to prepare the house for market, taking into account my situation and needs. She helped me find contractors to do prep work. She answered all my logistical and legal questions about listing, reviewing/accepting a bid, signing contracts and extensions, consulting my attorney, etc. Her knowledge and sense of the housing market in Old Lyme was accurate. She was instrumental in helping me accept the "best" (i.e. the least financially risky) offer, and she made Herculean efforts to ensure I did not lose my buyers when the house failed multiple inspections! This was critical to me, since I needed to get through the sale as quickly as possible. The bid that Ellen recommended I take was $60K above list price, due to the phenomenal seller's market, with much credit due to Ellen's advice and guidance in preparing the property for listing. In the end, the funds that came to me were WELL above what I ever thought I could ever net from the property! I will recommend Ellen Henderson to my friends who need a Realtor in the future. Angela R, Seller
