Ellie was born, raised and educated in Yokohama, Japan, a cosmopolitan port city with more than 3.5 million people and home to more than 100,000 businesses today.  She attended an International School in Japan and grew up with many students from around the world. 

This made Ellie a person who welcomes and relate to people from all walks of life.  She comes to the real estate industry with over 15 years of expertise in customer service and international business.

My market area is in the San Gabriel Valley.  I have gone out of area such as, Santa Clarita, Big Bear, West Hills, Torrance, Marina Del Rey.  I go where my client's needs are.  Cities I focus are:  Altadena and Pasadena.   Other cities I work are: Alhambra, Arcadia, Eagle Rock, Glendale, South Pasadena, San Gabriel, San Marino, Temple City. 

Love Altadena and Pasadena.  I lived in Pasadena for 10+ years on Rose Villa Street, around the corner from Cal Tech, Huntington Library, Ritz Carlton, Old Town Pasadena, Paseo, ,South Lake Shopping Area, and more!  Pasadena pretty much has it all and I can talk a lot about the city.

I now reside in Altadena, around the corner from JPL, Rosebowl, many hiking trails and beautiful views of the San Gabriel Mountain.  It is very rustic near the mountains.  Altadena is great.  You feel like being in the country, and you can be in the city; Old Town Pasadena is minutes away and less than 1/2 hr. to downtown Los Angeles.

My expertise: I consult and facilitate the buying and selling process of reat estate for clients. 1st Time Buyers, Condo and Townhome, single family homes, income properties sale. Fluent in Japanese.

My mission is to build a lasting relationship with my clients, providing simple-practical knowledge and guiding them to reach their unique real estate goals.  I want the process to be fun and exciting!
