Over six homes sold and truly Ellen has been the most professional, most organized and most pleasant/caring realtor we have ever had the pleasure to work with.

This was our home for 13 years! Our house held many memories and much love. When it came time to sell, Ellen Bessette understood the emotional, financial, and coordination efforts it would take to market and sell our treasured home. By listening to Ellen's advice, we prepared our home and put it on the market. TWO DAYS LATER WE HAD AN OFFER THAT WE ACCEPTED!!!! We closed on time and Ellen was proactive in making sure the millions of details were handled up front and resolved in order to make a happy ending to a sweet era of homeownership for us!!!! There are always unknowns and Ellen handled it all! Ellen is our real estate agent for any transactions we will have in the future! Very knowledgeable, efficient, professional and caring!!

Ellen had told us for years that she could sell our home in Alaqua Lakes in a minute! Well, she did better than that getting an offer that was more than asking the day before the MLS listing!! All this after she showed us a house in Alaqua that was perfect for our downsize needs. Ellen knows the market very well and was super helpful in both closings in 2 consecutive days. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.
