Elise Bollenbacher

Elise Bollenbacher, a proud Michigan native, was born and raised in Grosse Pointe, a suburb just outside of Detroit. After completing her degree in Political Science at Miami University of Ohio, Elise made her way to Chicago where she quickly immersed herself in the fast-paced energy and endless possibilities of the city.

Elise's career has always centered around one thing: connecting with people. From early roles in sales, she eventually discovered her passion for real estate—where her love for relationship-building, strategic thinking, and negotiating found their perfect outlet. One of Elise’s greatest strengths—and biggest joys—is working with first-time home buyers. She brings clarity and calm to what can often feel like an overwhelming process, empowering clients with the education, insight, and confidence they need to make one of the biggest decisions of their lives. 

With Elise, no question is too small, no concern too trivial—she’s there every step of the way. Known for her approachable yet tenacious style, Elise brings a unique blend of warmth, grit, and precision to her work. Clients consistently highlight her responsiveness, honesty, and calm confidence—especially when navigating the high-stakes world of buying or selling a home. Elise is deeply committed to delivering not just results, but an elevated, seamless experience for every client she serves. Elise’s business is rooted in trust, long-term relationships, and a relentless drive to exceed expectations.

When she's not working, Elise is a devoted traveler, Pilates goer, and a proud Detroit Red Wings fan. Whether exploring a new city or redesigning a room, Elise approaches every adventure with curiosity, creativity, and heart.
