It’s not surprising Ellen Bruya makes a living working with land. After all, as a child growing up in Seattle, Ellen often spent her summers on her grandfather’s farm, learning important lessons not only about farming, but life in general. "Those people put their blood, sweat and tears into making things grow," Ellen says. "That’s when I learned the value of a strong work ethic. Of course, you have to know what you’re doing, but in the long run, what really creates successful results is devotion and hard work."

Looking back, Ellen considers those experiences on her grandfather’s farm as the beginnings of her entrepreneurial nature. She soon realized that in order to do what you want to do and achieve what you want to achieve, there’s no escaping that essential element of hard work. To know Ellen today, it’s clearly evident that those lessons still guide her every move. She’s a woman who thrives on challenges and takes great pride in getting things done, the right way.

As a real estate professional who specializes in working with developers and land owners, Ellen not only brings the drive and determination to get the job done, but also more than 30 years of construction and real estate experience and a lifetime of local knowledge. For nearly 20 years, Ellen has been forming winning relationships with both land owners and developers through her unique combination of in-depth construction knowledge, real estate know how and genuine care for her clients.

What’s that mean to you? Quite simply, Ellen is in this business for the long run. The developers and investors she works with are good, reputable people who care about the communities in which they work. In that same spirit, Ellen approaches each transaction from both a business and personal perspective, helping both sellers and buyers form mutually beneficial agreements regarding future land use as well as the financial aspects of each transaction.

As a lifelong Washington resident and a mother of one, Ellen knows her actions today can impact the future of this great state and ultimately, the lives of her grandchildren. That’s why Ellen considers herself a caretaker of the land in every transaction, helping people make positive changes that will benefit the greater good. That caring approach to real estate has helped Ellen build many strong contacts throughout the industry, as well as many repeat and referral clients.
