Ellen Hanson Walker is absolutely the best agent a home buyer or seller could wish for. During the last five years, I have sold two homes, leased and purchased a condo and leased two rental properties. Ellen handled every transaction from start to finish. I have been extremely pleased with the outcome of each sale and purchase. On every single transaction, Ellen negotiated excellent terms that not only exceeded my expectations, but kept all parties on excellent terms throughout and after the close of the transactions. Ellen is the ultimate professional. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, detail oriented and resourceful, Ellen is a sincere and caring person who works non-stop for her clients.
Ellen was the very reason that we got the house of our dreams. She persisted with finding the right combination and solution for both parties. Was always very informative, would go the extra mile to find information on all the properties we looked at. She worked very hard and diligently for us for quite a while and it was the very reason we are happy for the rest of our lives. I would highly recommend Ellen as an agent to anyone. Tom Baldyga
Ellen masterfully negotiated the purchase of the house of our dreams. Without her personal attention to detail and out-of-the-box thinking, we would still be in search for a home! I STRONGLY recommend Ellen to ANYONE looking for someone that understands the Real Estate market and can assist you with navigating through challenging buyer and purchaser issues. Laureen Baldyga
Thanks for keeping us up-to-date and informed about the escrow details all the way through. You have made this process a pleasure for us every step of the way! Let's celebrate after the close! - Tom & Laureen Baldyga
Ellen was able to sell my home after first ensuring its value would appraise for the buyer's lender. She spent days preparing and when finally meeting the appraiser, dealt with him in the most professional and knowedgeable manner thereby successfully getting the appraisal results necessary to allow the sales transaction to happen. Then Ms. Walker also found my new home and was able to achieve the most pleasent experience for all of us.
Ellen was very diligent and hard working and got us the home we wanted. She was always very responsive, very knowledgeable and always offered excellent insight into all aspects of finding and purchasing our home. We are excited to work with Ellen for years to come. - Rhea Weiss Simply put, we feel that Ellen really was the reason that we found the best possible home for our family. She is friendly to work with, knowledgeable, easily accessible, and honest. We plan to continue working with her in the future based on our extremely positive experience. - Matt Weiss
Ellen was a true pleasure to work with and an extremely hard worker. She was very knowledgible of the local market and helped us list our home for a fair price. Always knowing the current inventory, Ellen was able to defend our price and ultimately brought us the perfect buyer. Understanding the difficulty of having one's house on the market, Ellen always gave us ample notice to show the house. In addition, she was diligent in always "qualifying" a potential buyer before agreeing to show the house. Ellen was friendly, easy to communicate with, and always returned calls/emails promptly. She is an excellent negotiator, closing the sale with all details finalized and both parties happy. Ellen is confident, honest, trustworthy, and extremely professional. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home, as she is one of the best in her field. - Donna Garcia
Ellen Walker is the best real state agent my wife and I have ever worked with. She is very professional, ethical, dedicated, hard working, creative, and a pleasure to work with. Ellen definitively goes the extra mile for her clients and respected our privacy. I would recommend Ellen to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home. I would also be more than happy to be a reference for Ellen. - Carlos Garcia
Ellen has represented us in three different residential real estate transactions including an REO purchase that took 8 months to close. Ellen is personable and professional. She approaches every challenge strategically by keeping the bigger picture in mind. Ellen is a strong negotiator yet a team player who will go out of her way to assist the opposing broker if it means getting the deal done correctly and efficiently. Above all, Ellen is trustworthy and wonderful person. I highly recommend Ellen to serve as your real estate professional.
Ellen was excellent in helping me short sale my home in 2011. Not only did she help me list, stage, and show the home but she took it a step further by working through the short sale approval process with my lender. Her politeness and professionalism helped her build a rapport with the short sale loan officer which in turn helped expedite the process. In 2012 Ellen helped my fiance and I find a nice single family home that had multiple offers. Again, the rapport she built with the other real estate agent helped us get picked for the home. We are very appreciative of her "above and beyond" attitude and even had her as our guest at our wedding in 2013!
Dear Ellen,How can we ever thank you enough for all of your amazing help with selling our Newport Beach house!

If we ever need to buy or sell another house, we wouldn't hesitate to go to our favorite realtor and through all this our friend! You are definitely number one with us!

Ellen is the best. She takes that extra step or mile in her case. Always a smile and positive even if something may turn a different direction. We love her professionalism and attitude in giving 100%. You go doll!! - James and Sherri
Ellen Hanson Walker is by far the most hardworking real estate agent professional in all of Orange County. As I am a mortgage broker having had the pleasure to work numerous transactions with her, I have found her to be one of the few realtors in this area who is not only extremely professional but also possesses powerful negotiation (and calming) skills along with a top quality work ethic. Ellen has the leadership and sales tools needed to get you the home of your dreams as the best price possible. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to purchase a home!
Dear Ellen,
Thank you very much for the outstanding service you're providing us - searching/finding/helping us lease our Newport Beach home. It is perfect! We will definitely call you when we are ready to purchase our next house! In the meantime, we will gladly refer friends and clients to you! "Million de gracias!" Sincerely, John and Ellen Whiteknight
Dear Ellen -
We wanted to take the time to express how much we appreciated you as our real estate agent. Your level of professionalism and follow up was and continues to be phenomenal. Everyone you recommended to use also proved to be extremely professional and competent. The process of buying a home can be stressful but through your efforts, it was enjoyable. Your friendship will always be welcomed and we hope to continue to have a wonderful personal and professional relationship. We will highly recommend you to any friends or people we know that need an agent.
Again, thank you very much! We love our new Corona Del Mar beach home.
Cindy and Daryl Williams
Ellen, Mark and I wanted to say thank you for all your help in getting us our new home! I feel so blessed to have you as both a friend and my realtor! I am so glad we have gotten to know each other and look foward to many more fun evenings in the new home. Thank you again for all your hard work and negotiations on our behalf!
With all our love and gratitude, Mark & Ashley
Ellen - Thank you for helping us buy our dream home. We are so glad that we called you about your listing. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for matching us with the Bernards! You are a fantastic agent that went the extra mile and sold us a home that was not even "for sale". If we weren't already realtors ourselves, we would hire you to assist us with our future residential real estate needs! Love, the Sousse's
We cannot thank you enough for selling our house. Your hard word and dedication was awesome and we would highly recommend you to anyone for their real estate needs. As you know, after the tenants we were renting the house to moved, there was much work that needed to be done to get it ready for selling. We were so thankful to have you handle all aspects of getting the house ready to sell, since we were living in Hawaii. Your communication with us was superb and we never worried that things were falling through the cracks. You handled everything for us with professionalism and we were thrilled that the home sold in less than 60 days! Thank you again for doing an incredible job for us! Yours truly...Kent and Lisa Pelt
Dear Ellen:
Ellen, Thank you so much for all your hard work and patience. It has been a delight working with you and you've made this last week of our escrow much more manageable after all the last minute surprises by the seller and listing agent. We could have never done it without you! Thank you, David and Johanna
Dear Rick: I am writing to you to commend Ellen Walker for her professionalism. We met her in finding a place last year in Newport Beach, and she worked with us in finding a place this year in Newport Coast. We just wanted you to know how much Ellen did to help us. She truly went over and above her professional duty on our behalf and we appreciate her so much. She has all the qualities that everyone would like in a real estate agent. Benny and Rita Hester
