In 2011, I was faced with filing for divorce after a 30 year relationship. No one works hard to build a good life and a family to ultimately have it shattered. Divorce is never easy. When having to deal with the splitting of assets and the selling my dream home, Ellen became my realtor. It was a very difficult time for me. I didn’t want to part with it, esp since it was a custom built home….i picked out every single thing and loved the way it pulled together. Ellen Paollilo came highly recommended. She made me feel so comfortable with the process and reiterated that it was just a “house“ by that time, and that I could make something else a “home”. It was exactly what I needed to hear. It made so much sense. Ellen and I worked so well together, but I received resistance from my then soon to be ex husband. Not cooperating with showings etc. While he was not the easiest client, Ellen’s professionalism made this process a bit less painful. She worked hard to get him to cooperate, which in itself was not an easy task.

I highly recommend Ellen if you are in need of a well qualified realtor. Thank you Ellen.

From the moment my best friend referred us to Ellen, I knew she was going to be incredible to work with. Ellen worked with my wife Melinda and I for over a year and half, seeking out listings, showing us homes with her husband John, and giving us overall intel on this unprecedented market at hand. She would always tell us, “when you see it you will know, we’re going to find you your dream home.” Well, she did and we finally walked into a home in Lavallette and fell in love. Ellen worked relentlessly on our behalf to help us reach an agreement. She guided us through the entire negotiation and process, referred us to a phenomenal lawyer and house inspector, and gave us incredible service from beginning to end. I cannot speak enough on how much we love and encourage everyone to use Ellen as their realtor. She’s not only a great realtor, she’s also become a great friend. Jeff & Mel
