Elissa grew up in Port Jefferson, New York, a small town on the eastern end of Long Island. More than fifteen years ago, she and her husband made Carbondale their home, trading the ocean for the beauty and grandeur of the mountains. The Roaring Fork Valley reminds her very much of where she grew up—rooted in a strong sense of community and small-town connection—values she deeply appreciates and embraces in this uniquely special place.

 

Community involvement is central to Elissa’s personal and professional life. As a mother of three young children, she believes it is essential to lead by example—demonstrating the importance of giving back and actively supporting the community that supports her family. From participating in school fundraisers and sponsoring local film festivals, to attending farm-to-table dinners hosted by local farmers, Elissa values meaningful engagement with the people and places that make this valley exceptional. With its rich arts scene, expansive outdoor opportunities, farmers markets, and diverse locally run festivals celebrating art, film, and ideas, the Roaring Fork Valley offers something for everyone and truly feels like home.

 

Before becoming a Broker Associate, Elissa spent nearly fifteen years in customer service, building a well-rounded foundation through experience in hospitality, the arts, and real estate operations. Her previous role as a Transaction and Marketing Coordinator—serving as a primary point of contact for Realtors—gave her comprehensive insight into every stage of a real estate transaction. With a background in Fine Arts, Elissa brings a keen eye for detail and ensures that every aspect of her work is represented thoughtfully and accurately.

 

Elissa discovered her passion for real estate years ago while dreaming of one day owning a home in the Roaring Fork Valley. Having now personally and professionally experienced both the buying and selling process, she is committed to guiding others through their own real estate journeys with confidence and care. Known for her organization, attention to detail, and genuine dedication to her clients, Elissa looks forward to sharing her experience, enthusiasm for real estate, and unwavering commitment with every client she serves.
