An independent broker since 1996, Elese is proudly hands-on in every aspect of her work—from the first conversation to the closing table. In an era where large teams often divide responsibilities among junior agents, she remains a one-woman operation by choice. She personally shows the properties, meets potential buyers, reviews offers, and oversees every document and detail alongside her sellers. Her clients value this rare level of direct involvement and accountability, which ensures that nothing is lost in translation and that every decision is made with care and precision. This solo model reflects her belief that residential real estate, like law or medicine, deserves the attention of a seasoned professional from start to finish.
Elese attributes her enduring success to the trusting relationships she builds, her highly effective negotiating style, and her commitment to exceeding expectations. Backed by the unparalleled resources of Brown Harris Stevens, a deep understanding of co-op board requirements, and long-standing relationships within the brokerage community, she delivers exceptional results with intelligence, intuition, and grace.
A New Yorker since 1992, Elese draws on her intimate knowledge of the city’s neighborhoods, architecture, and character to help each client find a home that reflects their individual lifestyle. She has been recognized among the top agents in the country by The Wall Street Journal/REALTrends and holds both the Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation and the prestigious New York Residential Specialist (NYRS) certification.
