Finding balance is the key to a successful life. After 19 years in the industry, Keely J. Ellingson recently decided to strike out on her own. Having been a member of many high-producing teams, she now wants to assist clients one-on-one with loan originations, emphasizing quality service.

Ellingson has extensive knowledge of all aspects of the industry, and she’s great with people. That balance between caring and business savvy is crucial to her thriving business. Clients are at ease, knowing that their questions will be patiently and expertly answered. Her persistence and creative solutions to issues enable her to offer lending plans to suit almost every need, and she refuses to accept any other alternative. “I know exactly what to watch out for and how to analyze your plans for any potential pitfalls,” she says. “I’ve had my hands on thousands of mortgages, and that experience is really priceless in this business.”

Expertise and kindness are a winning combination that has raised Ellingson to the top of her profession. “I really do care about my customers,” she stresses. “I stick with them forever, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable and confident about their real estate investments. My ultimate goal is for all of them to eventually pay off their mortgage(s) so they don’t need my services anymore.”

To stay balanced in a very fast-paced industry, Ellingson, a proud mom of two, turns to meditation and yoga. She’s also a member of the Lakeview Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce and Business Network International.
