My partner and I got in touch with Elly through friends who just purchased a home with her help and whose family had also worked with her on several occasions over the years. I’m so grateful for the recommendation!
Elly’s been fantastic all along the process, very friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. She tailored a home search to our specific needs, pointed out things to look out for during viewings (details that I had no idea about as a first time buyer), carefully walked us through the offer paperwork…Having such a details focused person on our side -who thinks about and does the research on all the things that aren’t obvious but are so important- was absolutely instrumental in finding our new home
When the time comes, I’ll have no hesitation in recommending Elly as well, she’s the best!

Working with Elly was fantastic. As a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions. Elly held my hand and answered every question. When I had a little concern about something via text, she responded, called immediately and talked me through what I was feeling. She validated the entire process and made sure I always had updated timelines about what was going on and when. This process was as stress free as I could be thanks to her and her team. She made sure to point out the things I didn't even know I was looking for and kept making sure to touch base and stay in communication even when I didn't always need it. I cannot recommend her team enough.

Selling a family member's home was a big responsibility, especially since it required extensive renovations before it could be listed. From the very beginning, Elly's knowledge, organization, and genuine care made what could have been an overwhelming process feel remarkably manageable.
Elly's understanding of the local housing market was exceptional. She generously shared market data and took the time to explain current trends, helping me make decisions about pricing, timing, and the work that would provide the greatest return. I felt confident that my decisions were based on sound information rather than guesswork.
Elly has an impressive network of trusted local resources, including contractors, repair professionals, cleaning services, inspectors, and other vendors. She coordinated every step of a complex renovation, scheduling and supervising the work on a very tight timeline to ensure everything stayed on track. Her attention to detail, communication, and follow-through made the entire process surprisingly stress-free.
Throughout the experience, Elly treated both the home and my family's situation with care and respect. She patiently listened, answered every question, addressed every concern. I could not ask for a more supportive "partner". I am deeply grateful for her expertise, dedication, and compassionate guidance and recommend Elly without hesitation to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate professional.

It has been such a pleasure to work with Elly and Jen. I listed my home in what could be said not the best environment to sell. They walked me through the process and were there to address any of my needs. The marketing plan was excellent and the supporting materials were exceptional. For me working with a realtor that communicates openly and offer great advice. With that said the house sold and even though there was a minor hiccup with the buyers leader, Elly and Jen kept me informed of every detail. I would definitely use Elly and Jenn on my next real estate deal.

Elly helped my partner and I purchase our first home in Seattle and she was fantastic! We really appreciated her communication style, promptness, clarity, and willingness to answer any/all questions we had and to go the extra mile. Elly was a rockstar especially through our offer and closing process, and we'd highly recommend her to first-time and experienced buyers!

Elly was amazing to work with while selling my father’s house after his passing. His house was rather large and completely full of his memorabilia, and Elly met with me early in the process to give me a sense of the scope, gave me support during the process of going through everything and getting things cleaned up and ready to list, and when I finally as ready to list she really shone!
I received a very detailed data driven market analysis to fully understand where we were, had amazing communication through every step of the way, and upon listing I had all of my worries and cares basically evaporate as she took over everything while keeping me in the loop. We had multiple competitive offers and upon review took the best one, and was shepherded through the closing process like a breeze.
I can’t imagine better support through a difficult process than what Elly provided in a patient, caring, and highly effective manner. Thank you from my whole family!

From the first phone conversation where Elly McKenzie brought the wants, needs and expectations into focus for all four of the buyers we knew she was the best of the best agents.
Her guidance and availability through the tour and property visits was exceptional.
The advice and integrity as we crafted our offer and negotiated our purchase was complete, thorough and always in tune with our intents, concerns and desires.
Then, after many agents begin to focus on other projects and clients, Elly remained completeiy involved in all of the details involved in the transfer of title, utilities, responsibilities and taking possession.
Finally, Elly's inspection, contractor and consultants were all professional, responsive and exceptional in their integrity.
Elly McKenzie is the complete package for her clients!

We had the privilege of working with Elly to find the perfect home for us as first-time buyers! In addition to being extremely organized and professional, she worked so well with all of our family dynamics (not an easy feat!) Elly has been a wonderful friend and support for us throughout the whole process. Thank you Elly!

Elly is so professional and a pleasure to work with.I’ve recently submitted an offer for a listing that she had available and even though we did not get the property, we were able to work out a backup offer that she championed with her Sellers. I really appreciate her going the extra mile to take care of everyone and make sure that we all felt part of the process.Thank you, Elly!Robert.

My husband and I loved working with Elly. As first-time homebuyers, the whole process was daunting, but Elly was both pro-active and responsive throughout the whole process. She took time to get to know us and what we were hoping to find, and she was thorough, authentic, and supportive from the moment we starting working with her all the way past closing. 10/10 recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with Elly to purchase our first home in the fall of 2025. She was fantastic! She was proactive in helping us identify homes that fit our criteria (something that was a great improvement on previous agents we worked with), was very accommodating to our schedule, and she jumped into immediate action whenever there were any hiccups during the process. She has stayed engaged with us post-closing, using her knowledge and experience to help us navigate all the little things that continue to crop up as we settle into the new place. We could not endorse her more enthusiastically!

Elly was a wonderful realtor and we highly recommend her! As first time homebuyers, we didn't know much about the process, and Elly always explained things step by step. She was very available and generous with her time, and was wonderful at working around our schedules. She did video tours for us to help us decide if we wanted to look at a place. She did a great job of negotiating for us and we love our new condo!

Elly is an outstanding real estate agent. She not only helped me find my first house, but she went above and beyond to teach me what to look for in houses that could be issues later and helped me with what questions to ask. I feel more informed and confident in the home buying process. She’s also very pleasant to work with and willing to travel to multiple locations to find the right home.

Elly McKenzie is a fantastic agent. She helped me go from, "I just had this crazy idea that maybe my family should move to Capitol Hill," to being under contract on a new-build townhouse in three weeks! Elly is organized, responsive, has great attention to detail, and goes above and beyond the call of duty. She is very perceptive, quickly figuring out what I liked/disliked and wanted/needed in a home. When the townhouse I liked wasn't quite right, she helped me negotiate an amazing deal that included home customization and upgrades. Elly did a great job communicating with me and the builder throughout a whirlwind timeline, as we closed in 45 days even with tons of work being done on our new home. Little did I know that Elly is even more impressive as a seller's agent! She worked so hard to sell my house, often going way above and beyond. We toured houses in the neighborhood together several times, so that she could get a sense of the market and help me understand both how to set my house apart and how to price it appropriately. I decided to do a lot of work on my house to maximize our sale price. Elly and her partner worked tirelessly to help me find and coordinate contractors, taking over the tasks I wasn't up for doing myself. Once we hit the market they did a fabulous job marketing my house, including a video tour for social media, ads, lots of open houses, and more. I felt completely supported through the entire process and am confident we got the highest possible price in a tricky market. I wholeheartedly recommend Elly if you're looking for a real estate agent! She truly is a unicorn of an agent.

Elly was everything I could have hoped for in an agent. She was knowledgeable and thorough and catered to all my needs. I am so thankful for her experience and knowledge as well as a hearty helping of can-do attitude.

Elly recently helped us sell our house in record time in a slow market. Part of it was luck - but Elly deserves a lot of credit for making sure we were well prepared. She got us in touch with great contractors, made sure we were well-informed and had documentation ready for the buyers (so we could all make decisions quickly), and went the extra mile to take care of our needs - from grabbing us extra screws and boxes to putting out the trash cans when we weren’t around. I highly recommend Elly for anyone looking to sell their home.

As we shift gears towards selling our current home, I can already tell that Elly is leagues beyond other agents. She's tracking the market while helping us prep our home to increase our sale price. I'm fully confident the process will go as well as my home buying experience went. I wholeheartedly recommend Elly if you're looking for a real estate agent!
