ELLIOT ENGEL

The team also believes in total transparency. “We do not hesitate to tell you something that might change your mind It’s really important to us that you see what’s potentially wrong with something before you can say you love it, or let you know it might not be the best time to sell ” elliot’s background in hospitality makes him a better and more compassionate agent He knows the importance of seeing every interaction from the client’s perspective and prioritizing their satisfaction. “It’s been a really seamless transition because I’m used to dealing with people who have high expectations,” he says. “Things go wrong with a meal and you likely have an angry person staring you right in the face. That experience has been really important.” elliot comes from a family of educators, and has long volunteered in after-school tutoring programs himself. This teaching background has also made him stand out as an agent “A big part of real estate is educating your clients so they make good decisions And the process of guiding them, holding their hand, and showing them that it’s not as confusing as it seems up front has been r e a l l y r e w a r d i n g , ” h e s a y s “ A n d I l o v e s e e i n g t h e e x citement and joy that my clients have when they close their sale or move into their new home ” lance and the team have helped elliot learn the importance of patience and consistency. “In this industry you can’t be driven by immediate results. I’ve been taught to take the long-term approach, which is taking care of your clients and knowing if you do that well, the money will come,” elliot shares. “That’s not only the right thing to do, but it’s paid off in spades. I really feel like I’m on the right path, and I love what I do.”

After her daughter graduated from college, ellen decided it was time to make a dramatic career switch to pursue her interest in real estate and acquired her license she immediately began to rise in the ranks in the typical big box Brokerage but found the culture of “deals first clients later” off-putting.
