About
As your agent, you will quickly recognize that I’m different. I don’t just open doors and send properties—I make dreams come true. My extensive background in construction, insurance, and real estate ensures there are no surprises and no questions unanswered. My superpower is negotiating your best terms—price, closing terms, and concessions. Whether you are selling or buying, you want me on your team. As a sales leader, I’ve quickly set myself apart from others, and my clients feel that differentiation. From the very beginning, my clients understand how their needs and wants come first and quickly recognize the value I bring to the table. When working with me, first-time buyers feel empowered and educated; those new to the coast quickly embrace the communities through the resources I provide, and all of my clients benefit from my network of professionals who support them on their journey—making their move the most enjoyable, stress-free experience it should be!

If only I'd met Ellen sooner! Ellen made selling my home a breeze. She actively listened to all of my concerns and turned my ideas into a reality. I highly recommend Oceanaire Realty for all of your home buying and selling needs. Thank you, Ellen!

Ellen was amazing in helping us not only find a house, but through the entire process. We were literally in the middle of a cross country move, and her and her team made this process as smooth as possible.

Great all around, above and beyond!!

Our son is in the Marines and has moved from Virginia, to Florida, and then out to California finally being permanently station at Camp Lejeune in NC. My husband and I were elated to finally have our son back on the East Coast. However, we knew no one in the area and had no clue where to begin looking for a home for our son to purchase. Ellen Kugel with The Oceanaire Realty was amazing from start to finish assisting in the purchase of our son’s new home.

Ellen is a true professional and knows her market intimately. After a thorough interview, she completes all of the research necessary to find you your new home. We were in the area for only a limited time for showings but she managed to show us every property we inquired about. After we returned home 150 miles away, her excellent service continued! We asked for video showings and she didn’t disappoint. She was sure to point out things that may not have been visible on the small screen of a phone. Once we found our son’s home and had an accepted offer she continued to walk us through the process including reminders and checklists of the things we needed to do. From first contact to closing Ellen was a true professional and rock star!
