Elena's Biography:
I was born & raised in Russia. Being a Senior Lecturer for 10 years at the Department of Foreign Languages at the State University in Russia gave me a chance to travel extensively throughout Europe, Asia & Africa. I also acquired practical experience, as well as extensive and profound knowledge regarding United States asylum and refugee policy, while doing my Legal Law in Masters in American University, Washington College of Law. My background in foreign languages & law helped me enhance my knowledge in diverse cultures, traditions & understand Real Estate law. I will be honored if you allow me to use my Real Estate knowledge and negotiating expertise with a high level of integrity to help you, your family & friends with real estate needs.
As you know, working with an agent who knows your community can be vital to the success of your transaction. I am dedicated to helping you every step of the way with energy, enthusiasm, persistence & determination. As a results-oriented professional, I balance aggressive strategies, real estate knowledge and negotiating skills to satisfy each and every client.
My commitment to achieving the results that you desire is paramount to me because I want to be your real estate agent not only for one transaction, but for many years to come. Therefore, you can count on me to be your true real estate professional & I promise to be there for you whenever you need me. With a seasoned professional on your side to investigate every opportunity and protect your interests this will be an enjoyable and a happy experience. My uniquely broad base of knowledge and experience makes me an ideal choice.

There are aspects of real estate sales that seem pretty simple. There are many elements of a smooth transaction, however, that are complicated and daunting. Remember that throughout the process we will understand and respond to your individual needs.

Our mindset is of a farmer rather than a hunter (relationships not transactions) – we are concerned with repeat and referral business.
