Email Ellen                         ^

Ellen arrived in Pinehurst from Fairfield County, Connecticut in 1996. She and husband Randy had fallen in love at a local Connecticut golf course. So the thought of living in the Golf Capital of the World was, and still is, very exciting. Today, she lives on the Golf Course in Pinehurst with Randy and her menagerie of mostly rescue pets.

Before her career as a Broker, Ellen spent many years in Marketing & Sales for Fortune 100 and 500 Companies. She became very well known in Pinehurst as the Owner of a popular restaurant, in which she and Randy built, ran, operated and entertained patrons for 5 years.

As McDevitt's Resort Town Specialist, Ellen feels strongly that living in a small town resort provides much more than the place to sleep. It is a place where:

  • Families can provide small town advantages with great schools and wonderful facilities not normally found in rural areas.
  • Retirees have their dream homes and an active lifestyle in a relaxed atmosphere, reminiscent of Summer Camp.
  • Second and Investment Home Buyers can enjoy a part-time haven and a full-time strong investment.

Ellen is an Accredited Buyer's Representative, a designation from the National Association of Realtors, for servicing Real Estate Buyers in an ethical, professional manner. In fact, in 2004, Ellen sold almost half of all homes sold in Downtown Southern Pines. Contact Ellen to receive Market Updates, widely recognized by her clients as being instrumental in assisting in their home purchase.
