Ellyn and her team did everything they said they would and saved my new family from foreclosure and endless harassing calls from my bank. They communicated everything beforehand and turned my disaster into a success in less than 3 months!

I would recommend that anyone who is facing foreclosure or is trying to do an impossible short sale – they will get it done.

Hi Ellyn and Team Dembowski;

I ran across a month-old Ventura County Star over the weekend and saw that you were awarded Top Producer for Prudential California Realty. What a wonderful accomplishment. 63 transactions in 2010 is an impressive achievement. I was the Mortgage Planner for two of those transactions. My clients purchased your listings at 3450 Olds Road, Oxnard and 2319 Chapel Drive, Camarillo. You and your highly organized team were great to work with. Whenever I needed something, DiAnn and Miki got me everything requested and more in a prompt manner. Because of everyone's professionalism, my loans went through smoothly and my clients were extremely happy with the service I gave them. What I appreciated most was that you told me what you expected and then you allowed me to do my job. My regular updates to you and your team kept you informed and with everyone working together we had two pleasant transactions. I look forward to many more.

Just wanted to write and say congratulations on receiving the Chairman's Circle Platinum Award. Having worked with you and your team on two of your transactions last year, I know your award was well deserved. Great Job.

Success to You!

From the first moment we met Ellyn we knew instantly that she was the right person to help us through the process of finding our dream home. She was friendly yet professional and extremely knowledgeable in her field. As we began working with Ellyn we were able to see her personal integrity come through which only confirmed our satisfaction that she was our agent. We were also struck by the various volunteer work that Ellyn is involved with, because that speaks volumes to us of her character.

Even though we had a modest budget, she was very patient in understanding our needs and taste. She always made herself available and returned all our phone calls promptly.
Amazingly, Ellyn succeeded in finding us a wonderful home which far exceeded our expectations. Thank you for helping us realize our dream, we are thrilled by how much our house fits our lifestyle.

We would be proud to refer Ellyn's expertise to others.

We are pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Ellyn Dembowski. In the fall of 2008 we purchased a home and Ellyn led us through the entire process step by step. Our active search spanned approximately three months, involving approximately 200 homes viewed on-line and 25 walk-throughs. In addition to being very pleasant and easy to work with, Ellyn is a take-charge sort of person who provided us with a continuous line-up of properties to consider until we found just the right one! During the process of making an offer she gave us sound bargaining advice, and presented the various options as well as her own recommendations so that we felt we were able to make good decisions.

Looking for a new house can be both exciting and anxiety provoking, but Ellyn eased us through it all, including the mind-boggling paper work. She was the perfect realtor and we would recommend her highly to anyone beginning his or her search for a new home!

Dear Ellyn,

We can't thank you enough for making our dream of home ownership come true. As this is our first home purchase, and with a new baby, you made the process amazingly smooth and stress-free. We appreciate your listening to our needs from the very beginning, and not pressuring us in any way. We know we would not have gotten the great deal on our home had you not helped us. From recommending lenders, painters, carpet cleaners, and other services, you really were a one-stop shop for us.

Thanks a million!

Ellyn Dembowski was everything we had hoped a realtor could be and more. She was our "go to" person for so many things during the extensive, and many times, confusing process of buying a home. It took us so long to find our dream home, and we are very thankful that Ellyn never gave up on us. She stuck by us to help us find exactly what we wanted and could afford. She was always encouraging and positive. When an offer of ours was accepted or counter offered, she was always very diligent in seeing that we got the appropriate paperwork signed and taken care of in a very timely manner- even if that meant she stayed late at the office or met us on the weekends. I could go on and on about the "above and beyond" attitude Ellyn had with us in buying our home, because she sure helped our dream come true.

Michelle Robertson

Dear Ellyn,

We wanted to take a few moments to express our gratitude to you, for all of your help in the purchase of our new home. Your expertise, guidance, and advise were essential in obtaining our dream home. Ellyn, you went above and beyond our expectations in the process of purchasing our house; from writing a letter on our behalf to the seller's agent, to referring us to professionals that helped make our house a home.

Thank you for your part in making our dreams come true. Our sons are thrilled with their new house and neighborhood full of new friends (not to mention, our big backyard for our big dog). We feel truly blessed with our new home and foresee many years full of countless happy memories. Ellyn, not only are you the world's greatest realtor, you are a wonderful person that has become a part of our family. You are truly an extraordinary realtor and an angel on Earth!

Once again, thank you for all you've done for our family. God Bless You!!

The Tussey Family

I recently accepted an offer for a plant manager position in Ventura, California. With a new assignment and the demands for time that were placed on me, I had to work with a real estate professional that knew the community well.

Ellyn Dembowski was able to streamline my search process of finding a new residence. After taking time to initially understand my needs, she showed me numerous properties in a short period of time.

She was courteous, professional, and very timely with all requests. She was also a very good advocate for me as a buyer in making sure none of my rights as a consumer were overlooked. Ellyn was further very willing to put time in well outside of normal business hours to assure the process of moving forward as quickly as possible.

I have recommended Ellyn to other personnel who are being transferred to the community. I would encourage anyone else to utilize her as real estate professional.

Tim Hampshire

Dear Ellyn,

This letter is important to me and harder to write than I thought it would be. I want to say thanks- and I want you to understand that I mean that in such a deeper way than the word expresses.

You and your team made a difficult process- selling my mom's home after her death, my childhood home- easier with your compassion for us and your amazing knowledge of the process. You helped us to completely understand what would happen from preparing the home for listing through escrow's closing. Your professionalism and ability to see through situations was amazing!

Not everyone loves their job and not everyone is competent at their choice of profession- you obviously love what you do and are amazingly professional and a pleasure to work with- I look forward to telling everyone I know to choose you as their real estate agent.

Again, thank you.

Ellyn Dembowski is both a connector and a finisher in her profession.

She stuck with us for almost a year while we looked at houses, made offers, lost offers, and had difficulty finding the right home. We were in a position sometimes where we didn't qualify for a home we wanted, because we were still trying to sell our home. She helped us work through issues and connected us with Diane Shankwiler who did a great job assisting us with FHA loan requirements.

Ellyn persevered and helped us find a home that we qualified for without having to sell our home. She kept expediting the process to ensure we would close in a timely manner. She is very detail oriented and negotiates well. When she was unavailable because of another client, or on vacation, she always had another agent, Kaye Ford, assist us.

The other thing about Ellyn is that she is a connector. She is well established in the business community and knows a lot of people who can help you in all kinds of areas. She connected us with Wheaton Moving and Storage Company. They did a great job moving our house items from Oregon to California at a reasonable price. She sent us several names and numbers of professionals who could help us with house repairs.

We appreciate Ellyn for her excellent service and professional experience.

Dave and Lori Keebler

A colleague from work referred Ellyn to us. Ellyn was knowledgeable about the local area, and was able to identify a number of choices for our family quickly. Once we decided to purchase, the process went smoothly. We visited half a dozen houses on one Saturday, and were able to make a good decision that same day. She answered our questions in detail and gave good, honest advice.

The negotiation process was also made easy by Ellyn's experience. She understood the buyer and our situation, and she advocated for us in a non-confrontational way that resulted in quick closing.

Ellyn also assisted us in our transition by referring us to a good lender, and providing lists of movers, painters, and tradesmen, some of whom we still use today. She fielded numerous phone calls from us when we had questions...even almost a year after the sale.

I recommend Ellyn's professional services without reservation. It was a pleasure doing business with her.

Pam Eddinger

I have worked with Ellyn in a number of occasions and have been so impressed with her marketing prowess, forward thinking and total service platform for her clients. By my account her listings seem to move faster than anyone else in her market due to vast network, community involvement, unique abilities and aggressiveness in getting things done. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Ellyn in the past and I look forward to many future deals together. I would recommend her to anyone thinking of buying or selling in the Ventura area.

Bryan Johnson

Ellyn is a fabulous Realtor. She is professional, honest, diligent, and efficient. Her experience gives an extra edge to being aware of details and making a sale work for everyone involved. She is the best we have ever worked with in this industry.
