"Until working with Ellie, I was skeptical about the value of a real estate agent these days since most searching is done online. Ellie changed my opinion and was a huge asset in our search! She was an active partner, searching listings daily and adding personalized comments on the properties that fit my criteria. She is very familiar with the area, and understands the sense of urgency required in this market. She would make appointments for me same day or the following day on properties I wanted to see. She is 100% on top of her game!" Melissa E. | Renter | Westlake Village

"Ellie helped us buy a wonderful house as well as list and sell the house that we currently owned. The entire process was great and Ellie was such a pleasure to work with. She is very professional but also is just a wonderful all around person and I know that everyone we dealt with during this process enjoyed working with her too. I would very highly recommend her to anyone in need of a Realtor." Ali K. | Buyer and Seller | Westlake Village

About Ellie
Ellie Winnerkrans has been passionate about real estate since her earliest years, moving with her parents and sister every two years, in the 1980s, with her father’s promotions within IBM. The moves continued until her family landed in Westlake Village. Shortly after, they settled in, and knew that Westlake Village was home.

Ellie started 4th grade at Westlake Elementary, and continued her education at La Reina Middle and High School. After she attended the University of San Diego, graduating with an Accounting degree. Her first job was at KPMG, in San Diego. There, she purchased her first home in Coronado! 

Ellie's accounting career called her to the east coast - a Boston office in the audit department! She later worked at Bain Capital on the finance team, working with private equity and the hedge fund. There she garnered more personal experience with the purchase of real estate apartment in Boston! It was while she was living in Boston that she met her husband Jan, and once again, adventure called - She followed him to Stockholm, Sweden!  After spending nine years of working and starting a family in Sweden, the couple (with their three children), returned to Ellie's "home base" of Westlake Village.

It was during that return to Westlake Village, that Ellie was drawn back to her original love: real estate!  Ellie's knowledge as a CPA and experience as a mother of three provides her with valuable skills that she uses in real estate negotiations, educating home buyers and sellers, as well as effectively marketing the team’s listings. When Ellie steps away from scouting and selling real estate in the Westlake Village area, she enjoys spending time at the beach, walking the family dog in Village Homes and beyond, volunteering with Boys Team Charity, and spending time with her family and friends. Ellie would love the honor of helping you find your next home!
