she was amazing, we haven't purchase or sold a home in 22 years and so many things have changed over the years she explained the process listen carefully and was available at all times if we needed her we highly recommend her!
We have used Ellen 3 times to buy a house, yes we move a lot! She is wonderful to work with. Ellen takes the time to listen to your needs and she found the right houses to show us each time. Even in this crazy market we were able to find the right house in a short amount of time thanks to Ellen. Have Ellen Williams help you with you housing needs and you will not regret it!!
In starting the housing search we researched to find the right Agent to work with and we are so glad we chose Ellen Williams of Coldwell Banker. Working with Ellen was a very pleasant experience in what was a challenging process given the extremely competitive market in the 2022 season. Her extensive knowledge of the Plainfield and surrounding area was invaluable in searching for the right house for us. As first time home buyers she guided us through the process in a proactive and pragmatic way helping us connect the dots with suggestions and advise that helped us move efficiently through the closing process.
We hired Ellen to help us with purchasing a home. Her experience in the area showed, and she was an excellent guide from start to finish. She was honest with us when certain houses looked like they might have issues, and during the negotiation process listened to our concerns. We always felt like she was on our team. A true professional and a pleasure to work with.
Ellen was absolutely fantastic to work with! She helped us buy our home and then again helped us turn around and sell it. We were in a crunch for time with both and she just made it so easy. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful throughout the whole process.
Ellen was amazing from start to finish. After doing a considerable amount of research i decided to contact Ellen and it was a great decision. During our first meeting she was prepared to discuss what it would take to sell my home and she was able to sell it within 1 day. Her professionalism and communication was top tier along with her ability to make herself available when needed. If you're looking for someone with proven results that actually care's about their client Ellen is the person for the job!
Ellen is professional, efficient and has great follow up. She sold my house quickly and helped me price it well. She has good listening skills and always gave me accurate answers. I would definitely hire her again!
Ellen Williams was great to work with. We had a difficult sale and new purchase situation and she was with us every step of the way. We highly recommend her.
I was looking to buy rental property in the west suburb. I found Ellen after studying 300+ realtors transactions history in the past 6 months. Ellen was the top realtor in Plainfield and several other nearby cities that I was interested in. During the house hunting process, her knowledge about the local communities made it extremely efficient. During the negotiation process, her well established relationships with the other agent improved the chance for my offer getting accepted. She had a full list of resources that benefit most buyers, e.g inspectors, lenders, attorneys, landscapers, contractors, handymen. I am looking forward to working with her again. Highly recommended superstar realtor!
Ellen is the best!! I truly believe that we would not have found our dream home if it weren't for her experience and knowledge. With the current housing market being what it is, I thought we would have to wait another year to find the perfect house for our family. When we finally found the right home, she helped us get our offer in quickly. Thanks to her, the seller accepted our offer and we have our forever home. Not only that, she helped us get our house on the market and under contract in just a few days. We appreciate all her hard work and dedication during the buying and selling process.
Ellen helped us sell our home in 2013 and recently helped us purchase a new home in the area. Ellen was wonderful helping us sell our home with two very little kids. We listed and it sold quickly. When we came back to the area to buy a home IN THIS MARKET (!!!!) she made time to help us do an intense search til we found our place (again, very quickly). She is straight talking and honest. We would trust Ellen with any sell/purchase again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.
Very Patient, very professional and very Reliable.
Hi Coco, It was a pleasure working with you and your family in selling your home. Best wishes.
Ellen is hands down the best! Buying a house is stressful and we were from out of state and moving to Illinois which made the stress even worse. Ellen took all of this away by keeping us up to date on new listings and answering all of our numerous questions at all hours of the day. I cannot say enough about how amazing it was to work with her!! She is very honest and not just looking for a quick sale. It was nice to have a realtor who actually cared about finding the perfect property for myself and my family. Ellen is willing to go the extra mile and she is a great negotiator!!! I will be using her again in my next purchase and will be recommending her to anyone that needs a hardworking and honest realtor!!!!!
Ellen was our saving grace during such a chaotic time in our lives. With three kids three and younger I thought selling our home would be a nightmare, however Ellen made it a breeze! She was understanding, patient, worked around our kiddos schedule, and got the job done in a flash! We are so incredibly grateful for her commitment not only to sell our home, but to make sure that it would be as stress free as moving could be!
Ms. Williams supported me on the sale of my home recently and I would highly recommend her to anyone. I had to move across country for work promptly after listing my home, but her efforts afforded me a great peace of mind in how she took ownership in the sale process. She provided me with timely updates on the number of visits and any comments from the prospective buyers. When an offer was presented, she worked to get a price that I was expecting and felt comfortable accepting. Throughout the process, she was attentitive to my intent and was taking time to listen and understand why I was selling and what I wanted to achieve with the sale. She was providing honest feedback with different options I could take in preparation of the sale, constantly working as an advisor rather than just a selling agent. With her efforts and ownership, I was aware every step of the way on the other side of the country and never felt I was without information regarding the status of how the sale was going on. She was great in every way.
Ellen Williams is a fantastic realtor! My husband and I had to sell my mothers house after she passed away, and we live 125 miles from the Chicago suburbs. We also had not sold a house before. Ellen walked us through the process and provided contacts for every service provider we needed. All the providers were reasonably priced and did a good job. She also personally took care of any details that would have required us to be at the house so we didnt have to travel. If any problems came up, she helped us solve them, and she always gave good advice on renovation options. When it came time for the sale, Ellen attracted a lot of interested buyers for the house, and we got a good final price. I would recommend her services to anyone.
We found Ellen by coincidence when she was willing to show up a property we found on Zillow during a very hectic time in the housing market. She ended up following up with us and sharing her knowledge with us to make us feel comfortable and informed moving forward with her in the hunt for a home. She was extremely responsive, she listen to our wants and needs and would send many options for us to look at, and she was just as motivated as us to find a home (but not so pressing to make us feel uncomfortable if we didn't choose to buy right at this moment). We are first time home buyers and she really took the time to explain this lengthy process. Highly recommend Ellen!
Working with Ellen made selling our home easy. She clearly communicated the steps of the process, the fees, and her recommendations along the way. She was very sensitive to our unique situation and was able to coordinate showings around our tight schedule. She was kind, patient, and provided honest feedback. Loved working with Ellen!
Ellen is professional. Her years of experience shine through. Whenever I called, text or emailed, she was there throughout whole home selling process.
Ellen called me within 15 minutes of my online request for a consultation. She met with us the same week, carefully walked through the selling process with us and advised what we should address around the house to sell quickly. She even saved us money by advising that some things we planned to do would not be necessary to sell the house. She helped tremendously by letting in cleaners to thoroughly clean the house, movers to quote our move and appraisers/inspectors after receiving a contract while we were at work. Best of all, should sold our house the night BEFORE it officially went on the market and for FULL asking price. All this in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and in a state where people are leaving in droves! Thank you very much Ellen!
Helped me sell my home. Sold after one day on the market for well above asking price! She helped us through the selling process. Ellen always responds quickly to emails or phone calls, would definitely work with her again!
I am so happy we crossed paths with Ellen. We were looking and the first house and realtor did not work out at all. When Ellen called me after I requested info on a house she was quick about setting things up to come see in person. She has been very patient with us and knew exactly what she was doing. We could not thank her enough for getting us in the perfect house for our growing family!! I would recommend her to every single person I know if they are looking to buy or sell. She was such a pleasure to work with and again we thank you!
Ellen did an amazing job helping my family of 5 find our dream home and transition through a difficult multi state move. Really made the process very simple and was always available to guide us through any questions or concerns.
Ellen assisted me in the purchase of a townhome in Plainfield, IL. Upon calling her, she was immediately responsive, asking me about my preferences, price range , etc. and I started receiving listings from her right away. She is not like other realtors going above your desired pricing; she actually listens with the desire to get you the property that works best for you and/or your family. She enjoys her job as a realtor and it shows, in her care and concern for her clients. If youre looking for a realtor, you should definitely call Ellen!!!!!
Ellen is extremely knowledgeable about the process and extends herself beyond reasonable to her customers, She is always available and goes the extra mile to provide exemplary service. Ellen is a great partner to work with if you are renting, selling or purchasing a home. I have had the pleasure of working with her in now all 3 instances.
I have zero complaints she did her job and she did it very well. She dotted all her Is and crossed all of her Ts.. She was always very quick to respond and very thorough
Ellen always has had my best interest at heart and is willing to help in whatever way is needed. She was able to sell my house for a great price when appraisers were coming in with low #'s. She is knowledgeable and able to recommend other contractors - lawyers, painters, handyman, landscapers, etc. when asked. She has a great personality and energy that puts her at the top. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a successful purchase or sale.
Two words to described Ellen. God sent! Ellen was just what this first time home buyer needed to navigate through the confusion of house buying. I really appreciate Ellen's Knowledge of purchase process and responsiveness.
HUGE thanks to my realtor Ellen, who was patient, supportive, and most of all friendly and fun. Really enjoyed working with her! She saw me through surviving decluttering, house showings and open houses, weird rainy spring weather, and two almost-buyers who fell through at last minute. What a roller coaster. Ellen treated me like a friend, not just another sale.
I was very impressed with Ellen in the selling process of our home 2 years ago. So much so that I suggested her to other associates of mine in the business that were relocated as I was. That being said, I knew that I would be equally impressed with the buying process when I was relocated back.Ellen has been very professional, attentive to my needs, and understands what my wife and I were looking for. If I ever have to buy or sell again, she will be my first and only choice.
Ellen helped with the sale of my late mother's house. I was impressed with Ellen throughout the process. Communication was great. She was easy to work with and kind. Went out of her way to make things easier for us. She also got us a full price sale on the day the house was listed. Would definitely use her again!
Ellen was a pleasure to work with. We sold our house with her and I also found a rental with her. Her responses to any calls and/or questions I had were always timely. Ellen proved her expertise in helping us settle on an asking price and negotiating at the time of contract . I would highly recommend Ellen to anyone needing a real estate agent.

We used Ellen to sell my home in Illinois. Ellen Williams was a phenomenal agent! We found Ellen to be very professional and very helpful. She discussed the plan and explained the process of selling the home. She was attentive and thorough in addressing our wishes and concerns regarding the listing and showings of the home.Ellens negotiation skills were also excellent. Ellen was always available for phone calls, texts, and emails. There was never any waiting around for her to respond and, that was a very valuable attribute to have in an agent in a competitive market. We appreciated her guidance throughout the process of selling our home.Overall, Ellen is exceptionally knowledgeable, extremely patient, responsive, and very dedicated to her clients. We completely and highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home.Thanks for a job well done!Felix & Deidre
Ellen is incredibly amazing, she has been there from day one, until we found our new home. If you talk about hand holding, she held our hand every step of the way, making sure we saw every single home we sent her way, and every home she thought satisfied our taste. That, my friend, is called "Going above and beyond" she will seat down with you as a client, listen to your needs and wants, run them through her funnel and make sure she delivers. If you want somebody that will show you any home you want to see, return your texts and calls in a mater of minutes if not seconds, ensure you miss no signature or documentation, look no further. I greatly recommend her. Thanks for all your help Ellen, keep up the good work!! Cheers!!
Ellen is a fantastic realtor. Shes thorough, warm and responsive. She is constantly working with her clients best interests as her top priority. Weve used Ellen for 3 transactions and we highly recommend her services.
Ellen was professional, knowledgeable, and personable. Wonderful to work with in the purchase of our new home and sale of our former (which we also purchased with her). Guided us step by step and through prompt and precise communication.
Any first time home buyer should definitely pick Ellen! She was always fantastic with working within our busy schedules and she was great with my constant question asking. Ellen is extremely knowledgeable and she feels more like a friend then just our agent. She will forever be our go to for real estate and we can't reccomend her enough to anyone..Thanks again Ellen. Jim & Lynn Scudieri
Ellen is an amazing realtor to work with, she has been our realtor for about four or five years and she has become a special part of our family. I would highly reccomend her. She has such an awesome personality and is very dependable. Whenever you need her she is just one email, phone call, or text away. Ellen looks out for the best interest of all her clients. If we ever decide to purchase another property or sell in the future, she will be the only realtor we would choose. Thank you Ellen for being more than just a realtor and always considering our wants and needs. We truly appreciate you and all of your hard work. We couldn't be happier!
Ellen is amazing! She is experienced and knowledgeable. She did in one week what another realtor couldn't do in six months. When I hired Ellen, I was discouraged. I had spent lots of money trying to sell my home. I had two contracts that did not go through. I had done everything the other realtor suggested and still no sale. Ellen made a few minor suggestions and even knew a guy that could do the work. I had it done. The house was under contract within a week and we closed 45 days later. I'm so thankful I found this realtor.
I contacted Ellen through USAA's Real Estate Rewards Program. I was a 1st time home buyer, trying to research my options and Ellen really stepped up and gave me a hand finding the perfect home for me and my family.
Ellen was outstanding from the first point of contact and all the way through the sale and purchase of a new home. Very professional and always willing to go the extra mile to put her clients at the top of her priorities.
Ellen was great to work with from start to finish. She helped us get in early to buy our dream home, and she helped us sell our old home after being on the market for one day! She always took care of everything she said she would, answered all our calls, gave us great advice, shared her knowledge and contacts, and helped us through the whole process. Highly recommend :)
It was a pleasure to work with Ellen Williams. She worked diligently and methodically to get my house sold and she did an excellent job. I would recommend her to anyone.
From the moment Ellen and I met... I knew that we would be a great team. Ellen came into my home and immediately saw the potential that I had come to overlook after 17 years. Our instant connection and vision guided us on a 5 week, winter journey that ended with me being beyond satisfied with her skills and the final sale of my home. I have never heard of any realtor being able to get a home sold in the time frame that I gave her. She was up for the challenge and proved why she is the absolute best at what she does. Professional and trustworthy is all I asked for... but she was much more. She became a friend.Thank you Ellen!!!!
I would recommend Ellen to anyone. She knew the area and understood what we wanted. She was patient with us and took us to many homes. She also managed to negotiate with the seller effectively.
What can I say about Ellen other than she was simply amazing! She took her time explaining the different areas and was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about each and every place she showed me. The thoroughness she displayed was greatly appreciated and alleviated the stresses of moving almost completely. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to relocate, purchase or rent! 5 Stars!!
Moving to an area that we knew nothing about is extremely stressful and the realtor is the first point of reference for the area. We feel we hit the jackpot by finding Ellen. We had very specific ideas about what we wanted in a house AND even more specific was the radius in which we wanted to live. We knew finding the perfect house would be difficult and it was. However, Ellen's patience with our parameters was unlimited. Even when we got frustrated she would calm our nerves and assure us that everything would work out for us. We encountered many obstacles in the process and she was always there to help us get through them - even the ones that were over and above the realm of a realtor. If you want expertise, a person who returns phone calls in a VERY timely manner, trustworthy and professional, then Ellen is the realtor to call.
