Client Testimonials

"Sophie understood our dreams and aspirations perfectly"

"My partner and I could not have hoped for someone better to help us purchase our dream spot in the Quimper peninsula. We were looking for a unique property and have only lived in the area a couple of years. Sophie understood our dreams and aspirations perfectly. Her regional knowledge was so helpful for knowing exactly what area we wanted to make our permanent home and which properties were worth fighting for.

We were able to have so much confidence during the buying process due to her clever thinking and client-centered advocacy. There was never a drop of pressure to do anything we didn't feel amazing about. And her calm demeanor was exactly what we needed during stressful moments. We are so grateful!" -Kyle T.

"She supported us in making decisions that were right for us"

"Sophie was an amazing support in helping us find our dream home! It felt like she really had our backs and best interests in mind during our search. When it came time to put offers in, she hit the ground running and guided us through throughout the process (super helpful as first time buyers). She supported us in making decisions that were right for us and never pushed us into making moves we were not comfortable with. It felt like she fought for us through her kind and personable approach, I believe that was really the biggest contributor toward our success. We had a tall order as we were looking for a property capable of a multi-generational family living. It took some time, but Sophie was patient and instilled confidence in us that our home was out there. In the end, we ended up in an incredible home that was beyond what we could have imagined." -Sarah S.

"I’ve purchased multiple homes in my lifetime and never before have I felt so comfortable"

"Sophie is simply the best and I highly recommend her for all of your real estate needs! Her seemingly endless knowledge of the area and all aspects of making such an important purchase is absolutely priceless. She is warm, kind and the very best advocate to have in your corner. Our specific needs made finding the right property challenging but due to her persistence, expert guidance and unfailing support we were able to find our perfect property. I’ve purchased multiple homes in my lifetime and never before have I felt so comfortable, confident and completely taken care of. And now…we’re living the dream! Sophie is most definitely your person!" -Cynthia W.

"When you work with her you'll truly have a formidable & caring advocate in your corner"

"Our agent, Sophie Elan, is the best! She took the time to understand what we really wanted from a home and took care only to show us houses that would be a good fit for us. She worked around our schedules to get us showings. When we were outbid on a home, she encouraged us and assured us we'd find our home still. When we did finally find our perfect fit, while interest rates were still low and houses were selling $100K+ over asking, Sophie negotiated ours under asking- truly an amazing feat! When it came time to sign papers, Sophie walked us through every detail and made sure we thoroughly understood what we were signing. She even reviewed the inspection with us so she could make sure everything was in order with the home. When you work with her you'll truly have a formidable & caring advocate in your corner. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone and everyone!" -Emily S.

"Her industry knowledge is deep, her business skills are impressive"

"Sophie Elan is a true gem in this industry. When my wife and I went into this major decision not knowing what would happen, Sophie was the one that steered our ship and made a home-buying fantasy a reality, giving our lives a joyful and secure new dimension as first-time homeowners. Her industry knowledge is deep, her business skills are impressive, and most of all, her warm and calming demeanor is a rarity, and much welcome at such a milestone as buying a house. We owe a lot of our current joy and comfort to what Sophie Elan was able to make happen for us." -Joe G.

"Can’t recommend Sophie for all your home buying needs highly enough!"

"Working with Sophie Elan to find our Port Townsend home was truly such an enjoyable experienced that it completely affirmed that we were making the right move at the exact right time in our lives. Every step along the way she demonstrated an immense knowledge and appreciation for the place she lives which helped us to fall all the more deeply in love with the area. And her ability to make a somewhat complicated and, at times, nerve wracking process as easy and painless as possible is a testament to how good she is at her chosen profession. Can’t recommend Sophie for all your home buying needs highly enough!" -John B.

"I was so grateful to have Sophie's expertise and guidance"

"Sophie Elan helped us with the purchase of our first home, and I would work with her again in a heartbeat. As a millennial who never fully believed I'd make it to homeownership in such a competitive area, I was so grateful to have Sophie's expertise and guidance. She really went above and beyond to help me see the possibilities and approach the process with optimism. She was warm, compassionate, and attentive—and in moments where I felt daunted by the process, she was readily available to offer suggestions and provide clarity. It was a pleasure working with her! I highly recommend her." -Nicole P.

"Sophie was persistent in helping me navigate a difficult real estate market"

"Sophie Elan provided absolutely stellar service in helping my family and I find our perfect home. Sophie was persistent in helping me navigate a difficult real estate market, patiently educated me on the process, and was an unfailing advocate for what I wanted and needed in a home. I highly recommend!" -Hans B.

"Exceeded our expectations"

"Sophie Elan exceeded our expectations by helping us find the ideal property. We had looked for years with no avail. She was always knowledgeable, patient and kind. We both highly recommend her!"-Sally M.

"We appreciated her deep local knowledge of the area which was invaluable"

"Sophie was absolutely the best person for our home buying journey. Period. As first-time buyers, my partner and I were a bit intimidated and ignorant of the process but Sophie was our guide and our touchstone throughout. She was patient, kind and supportive over the months of looking and we never felt pressure to buy something that wasn't right for us.
We also appreciated her deep local knowledge of the area which was invaluable. Having someone that knew the histories and trends of different neighborhoods and areas around the Olympic Peninsula was so helpful and I think it's part of what sets Sophie apart. With our eventual purchase, we were up against higher bidders but Sophie's personable approach and advocacy is what helped us get our PERFECT home without going over budget.
I recommend Sophie to anyone in the area looking to purchase a home or property - whether they are first-time buyers like us or someone hoping to retire here. Thank you Sophie!" -Alex S.

"Thanks to Sophie, I'm in my dream home"

"I am lucky to have been introduced to Sophie Elan, a beloved local who loves their community. She heard my wants and guided my first-time home-buying journey so thoughtfully. She will see you as a new friend and neighbor, and do her best to connect all the right dots for your process to be smooth and successful. Thanks to Sophie, I'm in my dream home." -Robin W.

"Sophie found our family the perfect piece of land"

"Sophie found our family the perfect piece of land to build our house on. It’s a beautiful spot atop a hill with great sunlight. It checks all of our boxes thanks to Sophie understanding our needs well. At first, the thought of going through our first ever real estate purchase at the height of the pandemic was intimidating. I am happy to say that it was not since Sophie really made it easy for us. I highly recommend Sophie as a home buying spirit guide to anyone looking!" -Andy K.

"Knowledgeable and organized"

"My experience working with Sophie was excellent! Sophie is knowledgeable and organized. She helped me understand the steps involved in buying a home and knew how to approach the process in the way that made the most sense for me." -Eva W.

"I always felt supported by her"

"Sophie Elan helped me and my partner buy a home last year and working with her was an absolute gift. Sophie is funny, kind, optimistic, professional, knowledgeable and just an overall joy to work with. Buying a home can be a stressful experience however Sophie brought a sense of calm to the process that I’m certain is unique to her. She always made me feel like we were on the right track and that it was all going to work out just as it was meant to, and it did! From the moment we started looking at homes until the final moments before closing, I always felt supported by her. Between the hundreds of texts, calls and voice memos she received from me she stayed super responsive and upbeat. Looking back I truly could not imagine having worked with anyone else. I would recommend Sophie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Port Townsend area."- Garrett J.
