Harmony Realty

Put Down Some Roots

“I grew up surrounded by the real estate business. In my immediate family I have a mortgage underwriter, loan officer, real estate attorney, engineer and Realtor. It’s really important to me that my clients feel valued, safe and supported. My goal is to help you achieve your goals in your time-frame, without pressure. Just great service!

I’m a number cruncher at heart and I really love analyzing financial trends. I will always give you my honest opinion about what the market is doing and how it will affect your purchase or sale.”

“When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen. I love to cook! Especially if I grew the food myself or if it came from one of my farming friends. I spent 4 years on a small hobby farm in Granville County, growing nearly everything our family ate.

“That experience was transformational for me. Although family circumstances forced us to move back to the city, I hold the memories close and live vicariously through my clients, some of whom have realized their farming and urban farming dreams.

“I’m married to my best friend, Timothy, and we have lived in the Triangle with our four kids (and now two grandchildren) since 2000.”

    Timothy joined Ellen full time at Harmony Realty in 2020 after a 20 year career in education.  Prior to entering brokerage full-time, he was Harmony’s videographer, photographer, graphic designer, consultant, and stager. You should see what he can do with a house to prepare it for the market!  

    Once he came on board full-time he took over the video editing responsibilities as well! He crawls into crawlspaces for us with his camera, so you don’t have to!

    Whether Timothy is showing you a home or consulting with you about the sale of your home, you can expect a knowledgeable and polite honesty.  His clients get his soft-spoken teacher persona, but the former Marine inside him will dutifully and passionately protect your interests.

        Happy Customers

        We recently sold a house using Ellen as our listing agent. Having compared and used agents in the past, we found that Ellen was very thorough with details and very receptive to answering questions and being someone we could bounce ideas off of. She is an out of the box thinker who adds little techniques that will help drive people to the house. For me the important characteristics are integrity, attention to detail and communication and Ellen fit that mold. Thanks for all your help Ellen!!

        Frequently Asked

        What will happen if I give you a call?

        I’ll answer it! I love talking with you!! If it is a good time, we can talk about your needs and timeline and get you set up on a custom home search right away if you’re buying. If you’re selling, we’ll set up an appointment at your home. If I’m with another client, we’ll set up a time to talk on the phone or on a Zoom Call.

        What are the next steps?

        I’ll explain to you how real estate works in North Carolina. I’ll explain agency, the contracts, inspections, and timelines, as well as give you an estimate of what it is likely to cost you to buy or sell. If you’re buying, we’ll set up a home search for you and you can begin favoriting properties for us to talk about and visit.

        What happens in the Initial Buyer Consult?

        During our first conversation, my goal is to understand your basic needs and desires. Do you know where you want to be? What is your price point? What does your dream house look like? Usually, I answer a lot of your questions about the area and the current market and then lay out the next steps in the process.

        What happens if I’m currently out of state?

        Many of our clients begin the process before they even visit North Carolina. We like to set you up with a Google Maps Tour we have created, loaded with properties you have favorited. This lets you see those properties in relation to shopping, parks, hospitals, and other places of note on the map. When you come to visit, you can drive around and get a feel for the areas your selected homes are in. Our clients love this because it really helps them discover what areas they want to prioritize in their home search.

        What I Learned from Analyzing over 100 Recently Expired Listings

        https://youtu.be/0sHwElW-F1I The Triangle is currently seeing a large number of homes sitting on the market without selling and an even larger number expire without selling. Part of this is seasonal, but that’s not the whole story. There is a deeper reason that some homes just aren’t selling. Why are so many homes sitting in the…
