Get to Know Me

A real estate agent and outdoor-enthusiast with an MA and BA in teaching and geography, Elisa moved to Seattle in 1987 and is a UW alum. She returned to Seattle in 2017 after a years-long around the world motorcycle journey that gave her a deep appreciation for finding home, and a knack for navigating high stress and ever-changing situations.

She's used her experience on the road and her Master's in Teaching degree and 10 years of teaching experience to help seamlessly guide her clients through the intricacies of real estate. But Elisa doesn't just have experience buying and selling homes; she's also helped build 23 single-family homes for Habitat for Humanity and has a keen eye for details and potential pitfalls.

Outside of her love for helping clients navigate the adventures of homeownership, she's most often found exploring the geography and geology of the PNW or helping neighbors with home and garden projects.

Brazilian born to an Argentine mother, Elisa speaks English, Spanish, and some Portuguese, and has a passion for social justice, the environment, literature, and creating community.

She specializes in helping clients navigate the ins and outs of preparing a home for the market, and loves her role in helping buyers find Home.

Elisa is a member of the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance. Check out her 5-star Google reviews, here!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I have been involved in at least 5 home purchases over the course of my lifetime, and Elisa was, by far, the most helpful real estate agent I've ever worked with. She is knowledgeable, patient, and fully invested in the best interests of her clients. One of my past agents was my brother, and I felt more like I was in the hands of family while working with Elisa. Look no further, this is the agent you need!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Elisa found a perfect home for me, then sold my condo over asking. Wow. Elisa is most impressive. We discussed the parameters of what I wanted and didn't want in a home and neighborhood. She came back with great recommendations and even went out of her way to check houses during the 2021 summer heatwave of death, sometimes by herself, until she found the perfect house for me. She is also very knowledgeab...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Elisa has been an absolute pleasure to work with in looking for our next home. She quickly "got us" as a family and continued to fine-tune her support while still making sure we didn't miss opportunities that might be a good fit. She was patient, and supportive, and cheered us on when we worried about finding anything that might work. It had been 13 years since our last home purchase and Elisa was great ...
