”I am a first time home buyer, I was not prepared for all the hoops to jump through during the purchasing process and after. Thankfully, Ellen was there to lead the way, schedule inspections, negotiate, and look at every detail along the way. Even a year later Ellen is still answering every question and concern I send her way. Thanks for sitting next to me on the roller coaster of home ownership, it's been a blast!

”My boyfriend and I are from out of state and had NO idea where to start looking for our future home. Luckily, we stumbled into an open house (we couldn’t afford) and met Ellen. She asked all of the right questions and offered to give us a driving tour of the area. As first time home buyers we were nervous, excited and had approximately one billion questions. She was patient, responsive, incredibly knowledgeable and made a potentially very stressful process smooth and enjoyable. Ellen has gone above and beyond for us before, during and after the buying process. Plus, she “has a guy” for every project our fixer upper needs (which is a lot). We love her and 10/10 recommend!

”I am a retired, single male. I wanted to move to the KCMO Metro area to be nearer to my daughter. I stopped in at Brookside Realty and it proved to be the best thing I could have done. Ellen listened to me, noted my preferences and immediately began seeking properties for my consideration. She gave me that feminine touch when considering various options..something that, being divorces for 20 years, was appreciated. She was not pushy or demanding. Her best characteristic is her ability to listen & communicate. I truly felt as if she and I were a team during the process. In no time, we found a home perfect for me. Thanks Ellen!

”Ellen is a true buyers agent- she was such a great help every step of the way and was able to tailor the home buying process to my needs. As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and uncertainty, but she made me feel comfortable and excited. I am so happy with how everything turned out and am lucky to have found not just a realtor in Ellen, but also a friendv

”I have had the pleasure of working with Ellen in three deals now. She has helped us buy two houses and sold one. Ellen is so passionate about what she does and will do whatever it takes to get the deal done. She is the agent I want in my back pocket. She is an expert.

”Look no further, Ellen is your gal! Ellen helped us buy our new home and we've also used her to buy multiple rental properties. She's extremely well versed and she has great connections! Her down to earth, personal style make her a complete joy to work with. You'll know that you're getting her honest opinion on the property, always. She would never let you make a mistake on a purchase and she's always there when you need her, even after closing. Give her a call, she'll take great care of you!

”Ellen was so incredibly helpful with purchase of our home. It sold with multiple offers and over asking price. No way that would have happened without someone as knowledgeable as Ellen.

”Found the exact house in the exact area that I wanted almost immediately. She has great recommendations for inspectors, bankers, etc. Doesn't hurt that she is a super nice and fun person. I would highly recommend giving Ellen a call.

”Ellen is a top notch agent who had our best interest in mind. She would do anything in her power to get things done. We looked at a ton of houses, and while many agents might seem annoyed or feel as though their work is going unrewarded, she kept a positive attitude and never seemed pushy! Along with that, she had a plethora of knowledge and resources to help us out. I wouldn't have any problem recommending Ellen to any of my friends and family. One of KC's finest.

”I sold my home by owner last summer and dealt with many agents. Ellen brought some prospective buyers by who ended up purchasing my home. Unlike a lot of agents, she had no bias toward me as a sell by owner and not only had her buyers interest at heart but also mine as a seller. She made the entire process smooth and very enjoyable. Extremely personable and professional. It was more like working with a favorite aunt instead of a hardcore real estate agent. Of the 5 star rating I would give her a 10. She is my go to next time I have a real estate transaction and I have recommended her to all of my friends and family for their real estate needs!
Matthew S.
”Ellen was our buyer's agent for our first home purchase, and we could not be happier thanks to Ellen. We choose Ellen particularly for her wealth of knowledge of older homes and the Brookside area. She was always available and worked quickly to set appointments. As novice homebuyers with little knowledge of older homes, Ellen advised us candidly and honestly. She went above and beyond to make sure we were very satisfied. Ellen was very much a trusted partner and friend.

”My wife and I just closed on our first house this last week. We could not have done it without the help of Ellen Zetmeir! She has been instrumental in helping us through this long process from day 1. We would strongly recommend her as an agent for anyone needing help in the house buying and selling process. There are so many qualities that make Ellen special, but there are two that stood out to us while working with her. First and most important, she absolutely cares for the people she works with. As first time home buyers, we knew very little about the home buying process and were not even in a position to purchase a home when we first made contact with Ellen. Even though we weren't ready to buy, Ellen made herself available for all our questions and concerns, and she treated us like we were the most important and special buyers out there. She took time to walk us through the entire process, from practice walk-throughs, to tips on what to look for, to serious offers, to knowing when to walk away, and finally, to closing on and owning our first home.
Allyson R.
”She truly cared and worked extremely hard for us throughout the whole process. The second quality that makes Ellen so special is her knowledge and experience. She not only knows the home buying and selling process, she also knows A LOT about houses themselves. She was able to point out important details to look for in a house, and we learned so much about houses each time we walked through one with her. She absolutely knows a good and a bad house when she sees one. And she was never afraid to let us know when she thought we should walk away. She is the person that you want by your side through this process. We were and are so thankful for her and appreciative of all the work she did for us. We look forward to continuing to work with her as new homeowners, as she has let us know that she will continue to be there for us with whatever challenges we face in home ownership. It's because of all of these reasons that we give Ellen the highest rating possible.
