Born and raised in Edmonton and Stony Plain, Elly can be found anywhere there is delicious food, great wine and good people (and usually a dog… or two). After owning her first home at the age of 18 and taking on her first renovation at 20, pursuing a career in real estate always seemed to be a natural fit for Elly. Continually looking for ways to make the most of life, she fuses her passion for fostering rewarding working and community relationships with practical solutions.
Elly’s passion lies in doing what’s best for others. Elly has always been people-focused and strives to ensure that every interaction is a valuable one. She considers herself privileged to have found a place with the team at Schmidt where she knows these values are shared and she can offer the best service-focused experience possible to her clients.
Before becoming a licensed REALTOR, Elly applied her innovative, ethical and process-oriented approach as a Human Resources Administrator. Some of her proudest accomplishments include her time as a founding member of numerous local and national committees dedicated to employee engagement programs and work-life balance. Elly’s compassion, creativity, drive and flexibility are a few attributes that her peers appreciate, as well as her gratuitous use of #teamworkmakesthedreamwork.
Elly loves exploring our beautiful city with her partner Josh and their fur family as well as through her volunteer work as a big sister with Boys & Girls Clubs Big Brothers Big Sisters of Edmonton. She also enjoys travelling the world, genealogy, world history and working on her green thumb.
