Ellen is the main reason we currently have a our first home! We were searching in a narrow market price range and in an area far away from where we were living. Ellen kept us updated on homes in our price range and locations. Even though it was a multiple hour drive for her and us, she happily set up and meet us to view homes multiple times. She stayed with us and in our corner with negotiations and connecting us with the right people to finalizing the home purchase. She is professional, personable, caring, intelligent, kind and quickly responds to anything you need during the home buying process. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home.

I sold my house with Ellen through Brass Lantern. She knew the process inside and out, allowing me to focus on moving rather than selling. Any questions I had were answered thoroughly and in a timely manner. With her insight into the market, we were able to list and have an accepted offer (over asking price) within two days. The closing went smoothly with no issues. I highly recommend working with Ellen and Brass Lantern.

Ellen really helped us with the process of buying our house. It was not an easy process for us by any means but she really helped make it happen for us. She is on top of things and she was sure to make sure that we were satisfied and updated on a regular basis. She works extremely hard and is great at what she does. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is buying.

We used this real estate company when we first bought our house and they made us feel like family. So, when we decided to sell our house we knew we had to go with them. Our realtor, Richard Scearce, was outstanding and we couldn’t of asked for a better realtor to help us sell our house. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a house because they were always on top of their game with any documents or questions needed. Our realtor even went above and beyond to help us get our house ready to sell. Not only that but he even checked in to show us any and all progress that was being done to our house. Not only was Richard Scearce a great help but the owner, Evelyn Norris, advised us on any little bumps we ran into as well. I wish they were located where we live now because whoever we choose for our next real estate company has some big shoes to fill. We will forever be grateful for them and all the hard work they put into helping us sell our house.

Ellen provides hands on approach through the purchase process. She made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. She is very attentive to details, and to the timeliness in which things needed to be done. She listened carefully to our needs/desires for our new home, and found one that suits us perfectly. She has a vast knowledge of the various towns in Eastern NC, which was also very helpful in our decision on location.
