Ellen O'Connor

As a Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker and a resident of Skaneateles Lake for more than 25 years, I bring an insider's understanding of lake life, local nuance, and the luxury market to every client relationship. With over two decades of experience representing distinctive homes, I am a trusted advisor for buyers and sellers of Skaneateles real estate seeking exceptional service, discretion, and results. My practice blends deep regional expertise with the world-class reach of Sotheby's International Realty. I specialize in waterfront estates, village homes, and historic properties--guiding clients through the nuances of shoreline regulation, architectural preservation, investment strategy, and design-led presentation. With experience overseeing more than twenty home renovations, I understand how to position a property for maximum value, both aesthetically and financially. Whether you're purchasing a private Skaneateles waterfront retreat or preparing to sell a significant estate, I provide a seamless, white-glove experience tailored to your goals. My real estate credentials as a Licensed Assoc. Broker in NY include CLHMS, ABR, GRI, and SRES, supported by a BS from St. Lawrence University and a lifetime membership in the National Association of REALTORS®. Beyond real estate, I'm an avid gardener, historic-home renovator, and lover of classic design -- passions that influence how I stage and present every home. And on many days, you'll find Beauregard, my Jack-Russell-Australian Cattle Dog mix, accompanying me on lakeside tours. Ellen O'Connor is a licensed real estate broker serving the Finger Lakes and Upstate New York's most distinctive communities.
