"We have been looking for homes in the Dover area for over 2 years with Elke. She has been so patient and,very attentive to our needs and what exactly we were looking for. There were a couple of times we had some loss in our family and Elke was very empathetic and understanding and we put looking for a home on the back burner. However finally we found the house tgatcmetcour needs. Elke walked us through the process and made everything run smoothly. We would use Elke in the future ourselves as well as recommend her to our family and friends. As a matter of fact, we were recommended Elke by our very closes family friends."
★★★★★
"My husband and I have bought and sold 8 different houses in 8 different states over the last 20 years but never have we had an agent as great, honest and smart as Elke.
She goes well beyond expectations, putting her clients needs first and making sure they know both the positives and negatives of each home.
She made our closing and moving so easy, providing local experts for whatever we needed. If you are looking for an agent to represent you rather than one just looking to make a sale - she is for you"

"I highly recommend working with Elke Cardella. I met her at an open house for a home she was showing but which wasn't quite what I was looking for. She asked me about my needs and a few weeks later contacted me about a house that was not yet listed. I was not expecting to buy so quickly, but her answers to my many questions and knowledge of the market helped me decide to make an offer and made me confident that I was paying a fair price. Even more, I appreciated Elke for her help from the time I made the offer through the closing. My work schedule was very intense this winter, and she was more than willing to accommodate my schedule - responding to emails, calls and texts before work, when I had a break between meetings, and in the late evening. Once I had chosen my inspector, lawyer, and mortgage company, she picked up coordinating appointments and sending information so that my availability didn't slow things down. Everyone she interacted with on my behalf told me that she was uniquely organized, knowledgeable and professional compared to the typical real estate broker they encounter. I hope to live in my new home for many years to come, but if I needed to buy or sell a property, I would definitely call Elke"

"Elke is very professional, attentive to detail and a pleasure to work with. We were very impressed with her patience and diligence to us as our real estate agent in the selection and buying of
our home. Elke never left questions unanswered and always responded promptly. We could not be more satisfied with our experience. We highly recommend Elke to our friends and family without any hesitation. Thank you, Elke!"
She has been a real estate agent for five years in the Wellesley and metrowest markets. Over that time, she has built a strong base of loyal clients who enjoy working with her because of her “integrity, hard work, local knowledge and genuine care for her clients.”
One of Elke’s particular strengths is her data-driven approach to making decisions and completing comparative market analysis for her clients both when selling their homes as well as evaluating potential purchases. “There is usually a spreadsheet or two involved.” While buying and selling a home can be a very emotional process, she makes sure the emotional decisions are grounded in reality.
After obtaining her MBA in Marketing and Finance from the University of Chicago, Elke worked in Strategic Alliances at Bank of America and in Digital Media Analytics and Strategy for AOL. Upon moving to Wellesley, she started her real estate business and most recently joined Compass, an innovative and tech driven luxury brokerage.
In addition to her role as a real estate agent, Elke is heavily involved in the Wellesley community. She currently serves as a Sunday school teacher at St. Andrews Episcopal Church, and volunteers at Hardy Elementary School.
Aside from work, Elke enjoys playing squash, running, iPhone apps and spending time with family and friends. She also speaks French and Indonesian.
