I was the executor of an estate that included a lovely house in Malibu. I live in Los Angeles, about 60 miles from Malibu and had no business contacts there. When it came time to sell the property, a friend referred me to Ellen as a trust worthy realtor in the area. She was kind to me and understanding of the situation and extremely helpful all while being very professional in our dealings. The property was in a state of disrepair and certain things needed to be brought to code before I could put it on the market. Ellen shared with me a list of local vendors for all the trades I needed. Each one I used did a fine job for me. She even offered to help me by giving the workers access to the property when I couldn’t get there to do so. If I ever want to sell my house in Los Angeles, I would ask her first if she would like to list it.
Ellen is a true legend in Malibu, but what completely sets her apart from other big-name agents in the area is just how incredibly kind, down-to-earth, and caring she is.
Our relationship started nearly ten years ago when I needed to lease a property in a very exclusive neighborhood. Other agents wouldn't give me the time of day, presumably because my house was on the lower end of the neighborhood's price point. Then someone told me to call Ellen, and that was it—I knew I'd never work with another realtor again.
She has more local experience than anyone else, operates with total integrity and discretion, and is always at the absolute top of her game. Over the years, she has also become a great friend, and I’ve seen firsthand how tirelessly she works behind the scenes for her clients.
As a side note, whenever I ask her for a recommendation for a professional in another field, they bend over backwards to help me the second I mention her name. They all just gush about how much they love her. I truly cannot recommend Ellen highly enough for her dedication, her flawless execution, and her incredibly authentic nature.
My wife and I have had the privilege of working with Ellen Francisco for many years now. She helped us locate property which uniquely fit our needs, which have varied over time.
On each occasion she has focused on what we were looking for, not what she thought we might like. Once she located a property we liked, she was a great help putting together solid deals. Her expertise was undeniably critical on many occasions over the years.
We have been fortunate enough to work with Ellen four different times, all pertaining to Malibu properties. And we have not only enjoyed each experience, both personally and professionally, but she has become our dear friend.
Anyone looking for a really personal and professional real estate agent, just couldn't do better!!
Ellen is not just a realtor. She advised and guided me through a long-distance purchase.
Was my representative on-site for all matters when I could not be there, and the assistance
has continued post purchase.
Ellen was our realtor when we bought our home 23 years ago. We knew that if we were
ever to sell, we’d be reaching out to Ellen. Her expertise and knowledge made the entire
process completely stress-free. Having worked with her as both a buyer and a seller, we
can’t recommend Ellen highly enough!
Ellen Francisco represented us in leasing our Zuma Bay Villas townhouse for more than
fifteen years, and she recently managed the sale. I couldn’t imagine a real estate agent
more professional than her... she is exceptionally knowledgeable and extremely
experienced, and she always exceeded all expectations.
