This was a great experience. Ellen was a perfect match for us. Thanks ZipRealty. This was a homerun. My agent was very patient and conscientious. This journey to homeownership took almost five months and was not a smooth ride due to my personal circumstances. Ellen navigated the situation with grace and poise. She always treated me with dignity and respect even though my budget was on the lower spectrum. I would highly recommend Ellen as an agent to all my family and friends. I have nothing but praises and accolades for my agent and new friend Ellen Rhodes. - Kar K.
