Ellen McCue

​ ★★★★★
"I had high expectations when we trusted Ellen with the sale of our home and she absolutely exceeded them! Ellen knows the market and helped us think about when to sell and how to get our house ready, with practical and simple suggestions. She helped create buzz and excitement in the broker community, made the house look special at the showings, and was clear-eyed in assessing bids so we could confidently accept a great offer. She was also a pleasure to work with, always taking as much time as we needed and understanding how emotional the process can be. She's a pro with a heart. I can't recommend her enough"

"We had the pleasure of working with Ellen over the span of two years (including a pause for COVID) and can't say enough positive things about her! She really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in a house. We looked at MANY houses and she was incredibly patient and took each viewing as an opportunity to fine tune our search further. We had a lot of fun looking at houses with Ellen and even developed a friendship as a result.
Ellen is solely responsible for finding the house we ultimately purchased. We had driven by, and although the house was beautiful and was on a nice street, we weren't sure it was the right house and neighborhood for us. We lived in one part of Darien for 14 years so going to a different part of Darien was a change. When she viewed it, she texted immediately and said we needed to see it ASAP - she thought it was perfect for us. She was so right!
We absolutely love our house and our new neighborhood. Ellen really helped us find our dream home as well as connected us with a great attorney, house inspector, carpenter, and everyone else you need for purchasing a new home. Ellen is the best!!!"

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Ellen McCue in the search of our new home. Ellen surpassed all our expectations. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication was truly amazing. It was evident from our first meeting that Ellen had an extensive knowledge of the local real estate market. She took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and budget and then started proactively researching the market on our behalf. We were initially searching for a rental property, but Ellen suggested viewing a property for sale as it looked like. Great fit for our needs…and it was ‘our perfect home. Ellen handled the pivot from rental to sale seamlessly. She promptly answered all our questions and gave us valuable insights and guidance on buying a home in CT and on considerations relating to negotiating with the vendor - all in a no-pressure, considerate manner. Ellen also connected us with reputable lenders, home inspectors, an attorney and even an interior decorator which all helped with a simplified and stress free closing process. And she was a pleasure to work with to boot.We would highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind and super-efficient broker."

"Ellen was extremely professional, helpful and easy to work with. As new homebuyers, it was important to have an experienced real estate associate to represent us. Ellen's calm demeanor was reassuring during the stressful negotiation process, her organizational skills proved extremely useful with all of the various pieces of information required, and raising two children in Darien, her knowledge of the community is endless. Ellen is now a friend of mine in the community and I would absolutely refer her to a friend interested in the town of Darien!"

"Ellen is a gem! When my husband and I first considered a move outside of New York City, we reached out to Ellen for help planning a day trip to view homes in Darien. She took us on a wonderful tour and spent time with us to really understand our goals. Little did we know that day that she would become our shepherd through a nearly three year search to find our dream home in Darien. Sensing that my husband and I wanted additional time to explore the town and settle into suburban life before purchasing, Ellen suggested a renting in town and helped us find the perfect house. Throughout our two year lease, Ellen worked tirelessly to help us refine our priorities and find us the perfect home in the most charming neighborhood. She is truly one of the most patient and dedicated people I have worked with. Ellen has many connections throughout the area and was so generous with her time and advise. She provided recommendations for service providers throughout the home buying process and even helped us find a dog walker once we settled in! I highly recommend Ellen to Darien homebuyers and particularly to first-time buyers in the area. We feel so fortunate to have connected with Ellen as she continues to be a wonderful friend and resource to us as we grow our family in Darien."

"We were new to the area moving up from Manhattan. Ellen came strongly recommended by a friend and she did a fantastic job for us. Welcoming, relaxed and patient, she listened to our requirements and found our dream home for us. She was informative, she knew the town very well. We were first time buyers in the States - Ellen educated us on what was required and supported us through the process and beyond. She offered unprompted but really useful advice that is still making a difference as we are settling into our new home. Ellen will be our first call the next time we need a broker. "

"Ellen is an amazing realtor. She really helped us navigate a new to us area, showed us houses she knew aesthetically we would like that were within our budget. Because she paid attention to what we were looking for, we were able to find a house that fit our budget quickly. Additionally, when we had questions about potential future projects, she connected us with a contractor and took time out of her day to talk potential future options for the house- something I consider out of scope. Finally, she was a sounding board for any questions we had and connected us with other amazing individuals to help with all of the nitty gritty of acquiring a house. Cannot recommend her enough."

★★★★★
"Thanks to Ellen, we had a smooth, stress-free buying AND selling process. Ellen's energetic, smart and knowledgeable approach was just what we needed. When seeking our forever home, Ellen immediately "got it" and knew what we were looking for so we didn't have to waste time seeing homes that didn't check all of our boxes. She also has a great eye and provided unique ideas and creative ways to help us envision a home's fit for our family. When it came time to sell our home, Ellen led the charge with confidence. She gave us smart suggestions for how to make small home improvements that would entice more buyers and promoted our home through a social media blitz. As a result, our home sold quickly in what was otherwise a slow market. We are so thankful for Ellen and 100% recommend her to anyone in the market!"

"My wife and I were introduced to Ellen this past summer when looking to purchase our first home in Fairfield County and we couldn't have been happier with our decision. Her knowledge of the area and her dedication and attentiveness during our home purchasing process was second to none. I can't say enough good things about Ellen. She was very cordial and was able to answer all questions we had. She also has an extensive network of contractors to help with current or future projects. We are pleased to recommend Ellen McCue to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Fairfield County area. She is hands down the best in the business and if we ever need to move again, she will be our first choice. If you want to discuss our experience in more detail, please feel free to contact either one of us."

"Ellen did a wonderful job facilitating the purchase of our home. From her detailed knowledge of the local market to her keen insights on the nuances of the process, her expertise was invaluable! She also takes the time to get to know her clients and understands the fine line between when to listen to a client’s desires and when to offer a fresh perspective. You will be in good hands with Ellen. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again!"

★★★★★
"Can't say enough good things about Ellen. She is an outstanding realtor. We worked with her on both our sale and purchase of a home and there is no one better. These transactions occurred during a very competitive period in the real estate market in our area and we ended up benefiting from her connections and local knowledge. She has lived in this area for 15+ years and her experience come in extremely handy pre and post-sale. She was extremely responsive and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend Ellen."

★★★★★
"Ellen is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is warm, friendly, and extremely responsive to all questions and concerns. We began our search with Ellen well before we were finally ready to move to the suburbs, and she was incredibly patient and responsive as we navigated the buying process. We looked at many homes with Ellen and she was always very helpful in finding answers to our questions quickly and professionally. Once we did find our perfect home, she helped to ensure the buying process was seamless.

Additionally, Ellen’s knowledge of the community has been invaluable. As parents of two young children moving from NYC, we had a lot to learn about life in Darien. She has been (and still is!) an incredible resource, not just in buying our home, but helping us settle into the town. She is our first call when we need a recommendation or have a question about pretty much anything! Ellen has helped us find contractors, preschools, restaurants, and even friends in town. While we closed on our home several months ago, Ellen has remained a friend to us, and we are extremely grateful for all of her help. We absolutely love living in Darien and a large part of that is due to Ellen’s support and knowledge. We give her our highest recommendation for anyone looking to buy or sell in Darien!"
