Elaine has been a residential real estate specialist in the greater Seattle area since 2008. She prides herself on delivering the highest level of customer service and professional care by providing strong representation, using data to inform decisions, imploring powerful negotiation tactics and transactional excellence to clients during the entire real estate experience. Her eye for good style and knack for identifying a property’s possibility benefit her clients.
Originally from South Africa, Elaine received her BSc. degree in Computer Science from the Univ. of Cape Town, where she played college level basketball and netball. She worked as a Systems Analyst and Software Engineer in Cape Town and Toronto, before relocating to Seattle with her family in 1994. She then worked in Medical Accounting and Real Estate Investing in Seattle, before transitioning to her current role as a Realtor. The patience required in the complex and high pressure computer programming environment, detailed focus in accounting and financial matters, and the knowledge gained as a landlord and real estate investor have combined to establish Elaine with a unique background and experience to understand and represent her clients.
Elaine lives an active lifestyle with her husband Stuart, in the Matthews Beach neighborhood. She loves to spend time with her 3 adult children and her grandchildren, enjoys playing golf, kayaking, hiking, biking and makes the time to quilt!
