Eclectic and enthusiastic, Elena has a multicultural background. She was born and raised in Italy where she practiced law for over a decade before moving with her family to Hong Kong, Miami and then to Summit, NJ.


Her past work experience as an attorney has sharpened her skills as an excellent communicator and negotiator and her career path with multiple international moves provides her with a unique perspective that she can offer to her clients. Her attention to details and her knowledge of the local market lead to satisfied clients. As a recent buyer wrote: “ Elena was fantastic to work with. She helped us find and close on a home during the highly competitive market of Summer 2021. She's very responsive, communicative, and highly knowledgeable about the mid-town direct towns in NJ. Most importantly, she really listens to the client, and is very level-headed and solution oriented. She helped us negotiate and come to middle ground solutions during the contract process.”
