I have had the pleasure of working with Ellen twice now for both the purchase of a home and the sale of a home. In a difficult market full of challenges and uncertainty, Ellen made me feel confident in the listing and sale process from beginning to end. I can't think her enough for her expertise, professionalism, negotiation skills, and ability to overcome obstacles. What is also important when you choose a realtor is making sure they are part of a strong team. Crystal Florida & Associates for Compass is a true dream team and in the Bay Area, you need the best of the best. Thank you for everything, Ellen!

Crystal did a great job in helping me sell a rental property that I owned. She provided a up to date market analysis, as well as what needed to be done to the property to make it attractive to buyers. She put me in touch with the people I needed to get the work done the contractors, and landscapers and made herself available to meet them at the property since I live out of town. She started selling the property prior to making it available to the public. Once we completed the work and agreed it was ready to sell she held her open house, and provided me with the feedback she received and that she anticipated some offers would come in. The offers did come in and she negotiated to get the offer that was acceptable to me. I was extremely pleased with her planning and follow through and would highly recommend her.

My experience with Ellen was exceptional from beginning to end! As a nervous first-time homebuyer who had just come out of a bad experience with my previous agent, Ellen was the fresh, competent re-start that I needed. From our initial conversation outlining what I was looking for to the close of escrow, Ellen ensured that I was informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. She provided insight and guidance without trying to "direct" my search. In the end, Ellen delivered beyond my expectations when she helped me secure my amazing home in Oakland! What I didn't think was possible, especially in this current market, became reality...and I have Ellen to thank for that. I would and WILL recommend Ellen to any potential homebuyer looking for a warm, professional, hard-working agent who goes above and beyond for her clients. She is a true standout!

We are super happy with our new home and Ellen was fantastic. Her commitment and communication throughout was amazing. She made the process very easy and worked tirelessly to help us close. We only regret some of the expert inspections that were conducted, as they could have provided more clarity on pre-existing conditions with the home. All in all, Compass was a wonderful company to work with.

I am so grateful we found Ellen to be our realtor. She was everything I could have hoped for during our first home buying experience - in an intense market, nonetheless. Not only did she tick all the boxes of being an exemplary professional: EXTREMELY responsive, she knows her field very well, good intuition for negotiation, very organized, possesses an impressive collection of helpful contacts. More than anything, she was truly our advocate and truly wanted the best for us. After its all said and done, I can tell she was completely on our side, trying to find us the house that would become our home. I cant recommend Ellen enough. If you go with Ellen, you will have an agent with considerable knowledge of aEURoethe businessaEUR? as well as incredible integrity and dedication.
