Hi there, I’m Ellen. My motto is “Getting you home with Experience, Integrity and Excellence”. I love what I do and if I’m going to do anything, I’m going to do it excellently. That’s my nature.
I was working in real estate long before I became a licensed Realtor in 2015. I owned and sold a dozen of my own homes and my husband and I rehabbed a few homes and have held rental properties. I have put my background and skills in real estate, project management, mortgage lending, administration and client services together and here I am giving you my best as a trusted Realtor and Advisor. I am blessed in real estate and fortunately that blessing has passed onto hundreds of my clients.
Real Estate is not just a transaction. It’s relational and it’s about doing a great job for people as we handle their most valuable assets. It’s important to me that you know what to expect so that your transaction is as stress-free for you as possible. And, I will always represent your best interests!
Mark and I have four grown children and two Compassion International children. We love spending time with family, food tours, escape rooms, and traveling as time allows. We have a heart for marriages and have led marriage-focused small groups for years. We support the work of Charity: Water whose mission it is to bring clean and safe drinking water to the 785 million people in developing countries who are without it.
Through the years my business has grown through referrals and repeat business. I would LOVE to meet you and it would be my honor to work with you and your referrals!

Ellen is INCREDIBLE!
|
Above and BeyondWe absolutely loved working with Ellen! Her attention to detail made buying a home a lot less stressful. She was willing to go into the crawl space, climb up into the attic, and check every corner of potential houses to make sure we were getting a good one. She used her expertise and market research to convince the seller to accept our offer for significantly under list price. The people she recommended to work with for our mortgage and closing were very communicative and made the process go much more smoothly than what we’d experienced before. She is responsive, always willing to answer questions, and made us feel like her only client. We really enjoyed her positive energy. Our home is better than we ever could have imagined! |
|
Whatever It TakesEllen Thabet was an absolute joy to work with. From the first time we met with her she was constantly sending us more properties to view and was always available whenever we had any questions. When it came time to purchase our home she was on top of every piece of paperwork we needed and was extremely flexible when it came to providing her with documents due to our own schedule being very chaotic. I would recommend to anyone looking for someone to help them purchase or sell a home to go with Ellen, she will do whatever it takes to get you in your dream house. |

Ellen is AMAZING
|
Above and BeyondEllen went above and beyond for my husband and I! She helped us sell our first home and buy our dream home! I can’t say enough about how easy she made these transactions. I would do it all again as long as I’m working with her! |

Ellen is AMAZING!Ellen was absolutely amazing. She has helped us buy 2 homes and sell one home. She is patient, kind, and extremely helpful. We felt like we could just sit back and relax because she was on top of every item on the to-do list. We actually called her because we were about to purchase a home on a whim and figured we would add her as our buyer’s agent. She could have just signed and walked away with the money, but she let us know that she didn’t think it was a good investment. And then spent months and months helping us find the perfect home. We were SO thankful that we didn’t end up purchasing that first home. She really goes above and beyond. And you can tell she enjoys what she does. She was great at negotiating and helping us through some hiccups that came up right before closing. She was able to “make things happen” when we were running into issues with our lender by contacting the head of the department for us and writing strongly worded emails. I just can’t say enough good things about her. |
|
|
It Was Always About UsI believe the most important characteristic I would express to others is Ellen’s ability to put her client in the forefront of her thoughts and actions. It was ALWAYS about us at every turn. We felt we were her only clients although we knew she had other appointments and showings. She has great knowledge of the area along with the traffic patterns, and was able to help find a home in an area where we can be at work and church in good time. We have come to love Ellen and have already begun recommending her to our friends and coworkers. |
|
Over Our Asking PriceEllen came in and told us exactly what she was going to do, and exactly what we needed to do to get the most money from the sale of the house. I fought her on her recommendations (mostly because I didn’t want to expend the energy or money), but did them anyways because down deep I knew she was right. In the end her knowledge of the real estate market proved to be correct. Our house sold the first day for over asking. She guided us through the closing process, and set up workers to resolve the buyer’s issues. The people she knew were good and reasonably priced. I would recommend Ellen to anyone that needs a real estate agent! |
10 out of 10!Without exception Ellen is the best Realtor we have ever used. We have bought and sold several homes over the years and our experience with Ellen has simply been the best. Her persistence and ability to professionally address any issues made our purchase a lot less stressful. Ellen immediately responded to all of our phone calls, texts and emails. We nicknamed her “Our Bulldog” because she is tenacious and follows through on every detail. Ellen’s knowledge of the local real estate market was very helpful assisting us to make an informed decision where to buy. We would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home without hesitation. |

Professional & InformativeI have worked with different Realtors in the past year and a half with no success. I always had to wait days to see a home but then about three months ago, I was introduced to Ellen and she was so professional. She had all the information needed when viewing properties and the homes that caught my attention were viewed that day or the very next day. We looked at several homes in a very busy market and I finally found the one that was right for me. All I can say is she made me feel very comfortable with no pressure to purchase, but also let me know if I needed to move quickly. |

Ellen is Efficient!Ellen is the most efficient agent I’ve ever dealt with – before, during AND after the sale. She leaves no stone un-turned, ensuring all details of the sale are covered – making the transaction easy for both buyer and seller. I would highly recommend Ellen Thabet for any and all real estate dealings. |

Long Distance LogisticsEllen Thabet helped me with a long-distance move/purchase of a home in NC … A process that could have been a logistical nightmare, were it not for her vast experience and professionalism! Now living in NC, the need to locate a second property arose and of course I called Ellen! In LESS than a month, Ellen helped us locate a beautiful home, negotiated AND closed the sale! Ellen’s number one concern is her client, as she works to ensure a flawlessly smooth transaction is had from beginning to end — We are so grateful to have found Ellen and grateful for all she has provided us — Need a home? Sell a home? Ellen Thabet is THE one to call! |
Couldn't be Happier!Ellen was a pleasure and very knowledgeable to work with. We only had a short amount of time and were not decided on location/area at all. Ellen and her team were great and patient in accommodating our ever changing needs. Both my parents and myself have worked with Ellen and couldn’t be happier with our home! |

Stress Free Home BuyingEllen helped my fiancé and me find an absolutely gorgeous home in the super competitive Morrisville/Cary area. Throughout the process, Ellen consistently delivered expert knowledge on the area and helped show solid options. She was available any time we wanted to see a house and was unbelievably responsive. The reason we were able to get the house we did was due to Ellen’s responsiveness, as we were able to see the house the day it hit market and put a competitive offer in. Ellen’s outstanding work didn’t stop there as she made the entire home buying process simple and kept me up to date on what had to be done next. Because Ellen was able to reduce friction so much by streamlining the process, my fiance and I were able to wedding plan and buy a home without breaking a sweat. Excellent agent, and I would recommend anyone who cares about getting a beautiful home with minimum stress to go with Ellen. Thank you!!! |
Highly RecommendedEllen was very knowledgeable, patient, and available all hours of the day. She responded to questions almost immediately explaining clearly what was needed and expected. Buying a home with Ellen was straightforward and painless. She “had our back” throughout the entire process. She ensured no stone was left unturned, took care of every little detail, and followed up. We highly recommend her! |

Ellen Will Work Hard for YOU!Ellen Thabet worked with our 23 year old daughter for 7 mos. She was very good to her and worked around her college and work schedule to show her many listings; she was available to show us listings as well when we came from our home in TN. She is a very professional realtor and has a strong knowledge of Raleigh and surrounding areas; the real estate market in the Raleigh metro area is very competitive and she was able to stay on top of the constant new and pending listings and keep my daughter and I informed of properties we might be interested in. When we did find a suitable home she negotiated in our favor and I feel like we did well on this home purchase. I would definitely choose her as my realtor again and recommend her to help you with your real estate needs: she will work hard for you! |

Call EllenExperience, excellence, work ethic, market knowledge and AWESOME are all words I’d use to describe my real estate agent. Full disclosure: She is also my wife and heart friend. That aside, she really did do an awesome job finding my dream home with the attributes important to me. She found new construction with the perfect home just by looking at the builder’s floorplan and site plan. There wasn’t even a model yet. Ellen gets an A+ for negotiating some extras too! She was on top of the progress of the construction and knew what to do when. I couldn’t have done it without her! Anyone looking to buy or sell, you owe it to yourself to talk with her! |

TrustworthyOur experience was positive . We are out of state buyers and the communication was excellent. All questions and concerns were handled promptly and professionally. We felt secure and trusted Ellen, we would recommend Ellen without hesitation. |

Ellen is AMAZING!Ellen did a fantastic job for me! I have bought many properties over the years and Ellen by far was the best Realtor I have ever worked with. I am from out of state and she helped me with all the details needed to get the contractors in line when I got to North Carolina. I couldn’t have done it without her. She made the experience effortless. I highly recommend her to handle all your real estate needs. |

It Was Always About UsEllen helped my fiancé and I buy our first home. She went above and beyond to get us our dream home. She is extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding area and always did research on comps before seeing a home. She made herself available throughout the week and weekends to show us homes. Ellen was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend using her to find your next home |

Lucky To Work with EllenBeing a young family and first time home buyers, we feel very lucky to have had Ellen on our side. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and made everything simple and easy for us to understand. She listened to our needs and kept that in mind while searching for homes. We started this process about two years ago. She took the time to show us several homes. Though we didn’t buy one at that point, we learned a lot from looking at those houses with her. If you are a new buyer, Ellen is the one you can trust. She pointed out things we may not have noticed and was never pushy. This year when we finally decided to buy, she connected us with several lenders to help us with our special circumstances. She also connected us with inspectors, handymen, and electricians who helped take care of all our needs. Ellen became more than just a business relationship with us. We love to recommend her to anyone who is buying a house! |
Above and BeyondEllen Thabet is fantastic! She was more like a friend than an Agent. We were fortunate to work with her and will recommend her to anyone that needs an Agent. Ellen was never pushy or put any pressure on us to purchase and always had our best interest at heart. She’s very attentive, patient and knowledgeable and pointed out things that concerned her during walk-throughs. She was always there for us to answer questions, sometimes even later in the evening and went above and beyond to make our buying process as smooth as possible. She even came to closing, just to be there for/with us! We love her and would choose her again if we ever have to! |

Professional & CaringEllen Thabet is amazing! She didn’t just find me a house, she was determined to help me find my forever home and went above and beyond in her efforts to make it a seamless process for me. She is a wonderful, caring, professional person and I can’t recommend her enough!!! |
Ellen is Knowledgable

Patient, Understanding and KnowledgableEllen helped us find a place for our big move from Boston. My wife and I can be picky and Ellen put up with us like a saint. She was patient, understanding, and very knowledgeable. Buying a house is a crazy time, and Ellen put in a lot of work to make it easy for us to understand all the details. When we found the right one, she was a super negotiator and we were very pleased with the price. Stick together with Ellen and your home buying experience will be fun. |
A Big Thank YouEllen Thabet did not behave like an agent instead she was like a friend providing details at each level. She has extended all the help and service to make this deal a success. She is good mentor and advisor. Ellen was available at all times to support and advise us. Her knowledge is admirable. It was great working with Ellen and her team. I would like to say THANK YOU to her for all the support. |

The Extra MileEllen Thabet went what I felt was the extra mile for a rather small purchase. She wrote letters to condo owners to help us find the place we wanted in the location we wanted. She did a great job showing us places that fit the description of what we were looking for and didn’t waste our time on other properties. |
Ellen Did Not DisappointThanks to Ellen, for her never ending patience. I was always waiting for her to disappoint me as other agents have done in the past, but she didn’t. She never pressured us as we went from one town to the next and one price point to the next, for well over a year. Also, she took care of me as Veteran. In our first deal, when we backed out of a builder contract, she saved us thousands of dollars getting us all our earnest money back. I’m not sure we’d be living in our house today if it wasn’t for her! We’ve learned through experience —that not all agents are created equal, but Ellen takes her job seriously. |

Stress Free Home BuyingOur experience with Ellen Thabet was and is excellent. She is one of the best people we know and is a fabulous realtor. My husband and I moved to NC from Connecticut in August 2016. While living an apartment in Cary, Ellen assisted us in looking of a house. |
Wonder Woman!It was sheer luck that I found Ellen Thabet! Wanting to make a long distance move from CA to NC and not being in a position to purchase for another year, Ellen was positive, kept in touch and was so supportive. When the time came to make that purchase she was so responsive, worked screwy hours previewing homes, taking and sharing photos as well as her opinion, ALWAYS with candor and ALWAYS with my best interest in mind. When I arrived in NC, Ellen was organized with a list of must-see homes. And away we went. THE home was found! She worked smart to get the offer to the seller’s agent that night. Ellen was continually in contact with me so I was never left wondering. And in two days the deal was struck! Over the course of the next few weeks, I relied heavily on Ellen to locate contractors to buff up the home. She met them for estimates, made recommendations and helped me with scheduling the workers, all while handling the necessary paperwork to complete the sale. Ellen is so much more than a real estate agent, she is a true professional who works hard AND smart, going above and beyond to do what needs to be done. What do you do for someone who is such a gift? I joked and shared with her that I was going to gift her a cape, as she truly is a WONDER-WOMAN! |

We were Lucky to Meet Ellen!We were looking to purchase a house while living out of state and we were so lucky to be able to find and work with Ellen! She was very easy to communicate with and responsive to all our needs. We planned a house hunting trip and spent a full three days in a row with Ellen while she showed us numerous potential properties that had been carefully identified. She was organized and also did a wonderful job with COVID precautions, which really made things more comfortable too. |
