Elinor's Experience & Passion - serving you since 2001Real Estate is truly my passion and joy. Ever since hearing the story of how my mom knocked on many neighbors’ doors to purchase our first home in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle, I have always been inspired to navigate the vast world of Real Estate and bring this understanding to others (education is also one of my passions). Born and raised in Seattle, I consider myself an expert of this great city and it’s surrounding areas, even with the vastly changing landscapes. Since starting my Real Estate career in 2001, I have accumulated a wide spectrum of unique knowledge and skills - from the technicalities of septic tanks and oil tanks, the complexities of land use and development, to the creativity of interior design and staging. I love learning hands-on and expanding my expertise in all areas! My love of Real Estate is perfectly complimented by my experiences in Business and Education. Starting at the age of 10, I helped with my mom's jewelry business at the Pike Place Market. We would also travel to fairs and festivals, which were such fun adventures. Eventually, I made my own mark at the Pike Place Market owning and running a small card & gift shop called Paper Moon in the Stewart Building (near the original Starbucks). In regards to Education, I earned my AA in Early Childhood Education and was blessed to be an educator for 11 years. Outside of Real Estate, I enjoy golfing, spending time with my growing family, giving back to the community, and have served philanthropically Seattle International Rotary, on the board of Kids Co and committees for St. George Parish and St. George Parish School. Some of my ongoing charitable contributions include the Windermere Foundation, Kids Co (Evergreen Children’s Association), Treehouse for Kids, St. Vincent de Paul, and the South Seattle Catholic Schools & Parishes (St. George, St. Paul, St. Edward, St. Peter). I am a REALTOR (Washington Association of Realtors and the Seattle/King County Association of Realtors), as well as a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), and an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP-RE).
