About Ellen

PRINCIPAL - THE PERFORMANCE GROUP

With over 16 years of experience, Ellen has guided countless individuals and families toward their real estate dreams — making the process feel less like a chore and more like an adventure.

Why Work With Ellen?

Ellen is a master of residential properties and new construction, with an extensive expertise in selling luxury pre-construction homes and condominiums. Whether you're a seasoned investor or a first-time buyer, Ellen’s sharp insights and strategic approach give you the competitive edge you need. Her in-depth knowledge of contracts, staging, and high-end property details ensures her clients are always a step ahead.

From New York Hustle to Florida Sunshine

Raised in New Rochelle, New York, Ellen's path to real estate success has been inspiring. After earning her degree from Hofstra University, Ellen thrived in New York City's fast-paced garment industry. That fast-talking, high-energy experience honed her negotiation skills long before her real estate career began.

Her real estate journey began in Manhattan, where she purchased, renovated, and sold several properties. What started as a personal investment journey quickly evolved into a passion for real estate. Ellen fell in love with the process — from transforming spaces to navigating sales — and realized her skills could help others achieve their property dreams as well.

With a successful career in the women's garment industry, Ellen transitioned full-time into real estate upon relocating to South Florida in 2008. In 2008, Ellen moved to Fort Lauderdale — during one of the toughest real estate markets in history. Determined to excel, she dove deep into mastering contracts, knowing that in Florida, realtors are responsible for writing them (unlike in New York where attorneys handle the job). Ellen's dedication to mastering this craft gives her clients a major advantage in every transaction.


Let's Make Real Estate Fun!

With Ellen, you get more than a real estate advisor — you get a partner who is meticulous with details, fierce in negotiations, and committed to ensuring your experience is positive and memorable. Whether you're buying, selling, renting, or investing, Ellen is here to turn your real estate dreams into reality — and make sure you have fun along the way!

The Personal Side of Ellen


When Ellen moved to Florida, she had no friends, no family — just her beloved beagle, Carson, and a fierce determination to succeed. As fate would have it, she soon met and married a fellow New Yorker in Florida, and the rest is history.

These days, Ellen thrives on quality time with her husband, pets, family, and friends. Whether she’s dancing at concerts, cracking up at comedy shows, traveling to exciting destinations, trying new restaurants, or enjoying the beach, Ellen brings her signature energy and positivity to everything she does — including real estate.
