Client Reviews
Elyse helped us find a home in Boynton Beach
Elyse helped us find a home in Boynton Beach. She took the time to thoroughly understand what we were looking for and sent us listings that matched our desired location, price and home features. We greatly appreciated her honest assessment of homes, advising what would or would not work for us, including advising on home conditions and possible additional costs we might incur. Her expertise in finding pet-friendly communities is unique and invaluable for buyers looking for a pet-friendly community. I highly recommend using Elyse’s services when looking to buy a home.
I can’t say enough about Elyse!
I can’t say enough about Elyse! I have 3 large dogs and searched for 2 years for an over 55 that would allow my dogs. Most HOAs not only had size limits, but also breed restrictions. When I came across Elyse on a Facebook page, I thought I would see if she could help! She found me the perfect villa and I am closing next week.
What seemed impossible became a reality in a few months! I highly recommend Elyse!
Elyse was a pleasure to work with
Elyse was a pleasure to work with when purchasing a second home in Delray Beach. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and kept us informed as listings were constantly coming on and off the market. She is very knowledgeable about all of the communities in the area, especially when it comes to pets and the various restrictions. We ended up finding exactly what we were looking for at the right price. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a Buyer’s Agent in south FL.
Elyse is and did everything anyone would ever want from a real estate agent
Elyse is and did everything anyone would ever want from a real estate agent when looking and buying a house. She’s very knowledgeable, honest, patient, cooperative, and most important of all- she looks out for your best interest! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new home, especially if you have dogs since she knows all the info about each community! – which ones allows dogs- size, breeds, how many..
Elyse was the best real estate agent I’ve ever worked with
Elyse was the best real estate agent I’ve ever worked with. She handled everything, gave great advice, and became a true friend throughout the process. We bought a condo without even being in Florida and Elyse made that possible by doing everything for us, from videos, pictures, links, and live FaceTime walk throughs. And she’s a dog lover!

Exceeded all our expectations
When looking for a broker our initial motivation was to find someone who specialized in dog-friendly communities. We found Elyse and she exceeded all our expectations. Attempting to purchase a home in Florida while living in NY, during a pandemic, is a daunting task, and Elyse’s professionalism, knowledge of the market, patience and sage advice made the experience seamless. She toured homes with us via FaceTime patiently going over every detail while providing invaluable information about comparable homes and differences in communities. She was responsive to our needs from the start of the process through the closing….promptly answering the phone and emails…..and post-closing by recommending various vendors as we were new to Florida. Elyse was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home and especially looking for a pet friendly home.
Elyse immediatly ‘got’ us
We found Elyse on-line after working with another realtor that was not helping us find what we wanted. Elyse immediatly ‘got’ us and showed us the right properties while providing encyclopedic knowledge of neighborhoods, dog restrictions, life style options and benefits/trade offs between one house/neighborhood and the other. Elyse consistently provided important information at every stage of our process. As out-of-towners this was essential to our making the right decision. We are thrilled with our house, the neighborhood, and how we arrived at both. What’s more, Elyse continues to keep in touch to ensure that we have what we need as the transition progresses. We couldn’t be happier or more grateful to Elyse for everything she’s done. Elyse is a rare combination of being a true subject matter expert and, more importantly, a genuinely caring person who looks after her people.
She is very knowledgeable of South Palm Beach
Buying my new house in Boynton Beach was a pleasant experience because of my realtor Elyse Berman. I have 2 dogs and needed someone who could find a community where that would work. She was the right person. She is very knowledgeable of South Palm Beach. She was available 24/7 to take my calls or text messages. She made the process smooth. She’s even available to answer questions I have after the sale. Truly professional! I highly recommend!
Elyse was a true professional
Elyse was a true professional. We enjoyed working with her. She made the purchase of our condo easy seamless and a lot of fun. She knew a lot about pets of course. I would highly recommend her.
Elyse is uniquely qualified; she knows all of the pet friendly communities
Amazing!
I highly recommend Elyse to anyone looking for a home. We weren’t sure whether we wanted a condo by the ocean, a stand alone house, or one in a community and we had very specific requirements. We wanted to be near the beach, near family, and have room for our two dogs to run outside. Elyse is uniquely qualified; she knows all of the pet friendly communities, restrictions, and any other relevant information that you would need. She researches all aspects about a property so that you are fully informed leaving nothing to guesswork. Elyse is your best advocate for finding the right fit and getting the best deal for you. She brings her vast experience and dedication, going above and beyond for her client’s benefit. She truly cares.
Elyse helped us to figure it out and make the right decision! Thank you Elyse!
From Day 1, we knew we would be connected to Elyse forever
From Day 1, we knew we would be connected to Elyse forever. As a New Yorker who sought a more peaceful life in Florida, we connected with Elyse both through emotion and shared experience. As an animal lover herself, she instantly tailored our searches to communities and homes to allow for our furry children. Taking into account my physical limitation, she adapted the search to meet those needs as well. What resulted was a finely curated listing of desirable homes. Partnering with Elyse made the whole process a breeze. And, Elyse continues to be an invaluable resource and font of local knowledge, staying in touch with us as we settle into our new home to ensure that everything we need is at our fingertips.
Elyse is a rare agent who is a cross between your mom and your best friend.
Elyse is a rare agent who is a cross between your mom and your best friend. She’ll find the home you’re looking for in incredibly rapid time, and then walk you through everything including getting the very best price. An absolutely excellent agent. Just to add — I have a large dog, and a primary concern was finding a home where the HOA would allow this. This is a speciality of Elyse — and I doubt I would have found my home without her.

We were very impressed with the properties you showed us
Joel and I along with our little Shih Tzu, Chanel, were in our new Villa, settling in for the past 3 weeks. I’m writing this to describe our home-buying experience for you to post for others to see. I’d want people to know that all along the way you were good natured, bent over backwards to help us, knowledgeable and foremost honest. It’s rare for someone selling something to us to be honest. We learned, after surfing the Internet and talking to people, most adult communities of South Florida don’t allow pets. I did however, find a web site of a Real Estate agent that helped people find their “dream home” in a “pet friendly” community. I called the agent and you answered. I now realize how lucky we were to find you.
We first met you in July 2010 and you immediately got together a list of properties to show us in places that were “pet friendly.” You spent a lot of time with us knowing we may not buy anything. By chance, we found an adult community in another county that was “pet friendly” and fell in love with their very large Clubhouse. This purchase failed as did a second attempt. After the disappointments (and a lot of stress) we thought we’d try Delray Beach again and called you. You remembered us. We told you our tales of woe, and you immediately made appointments to show us some properties the next day.
You are fast! One reason you’re fast is because you know your business. You know which communities allow pets and you don’t have to first search every community to find which ones did. We were very impressed with the properties you showed us. You were spot-on showing us what we were looking for! We found a home, but it failed during negotiations. That’s when you went into action again and immediately showed us other properties. This helped the terrible feeling of disappointment. You showed us another property we fell in love with. There was another offer that was accepted on the property, so we went home disappointed. We told you if the deal falls through to let us know. As luck would have it, the deal fell through, and the seller accepted our offer. The 10-Day Inspection Period was very stressful for us since we were in NJ and were used to having an attorney write the contract and do everything.
Here in Florida, the Real Estate agent fills in the blanks on a state form. We had little confidence in the Florida home-buying process. There were a lot of phone calls, texting, emails and faxing. You gave us every possible piece of information and names of professionals we can talk to to reassure us the Florida home-buying process can be trusted, and it works well. You did a marketing analysis for us to show us what we were buying was a fair price. You gave us names and phone numbers of Attorneys, Insurance companies, Utility companies etc. letting us know what we needed to do. You kept on top of everything. We closed by phone, email, fax and Certified Overnight mail and wired the money. Again, this was very “foreign” to us. A week later, we opened the door to our new Villa and we were in love! Our little dog loved it too! We would be very happy to do business with you again and recommend you to our friends and family.
I knew immediately that she listened and understood me
I was looking for a condo in Florida when I saw Elyse’s website. I e-mailed her with specific needs including a pet-friendly community. I asked her if she was able to meet these needs. We spoke many times on the phone prior to coming to Florida. I knew immediately that she listened and understood me. I really felt a connection. The end result was my dream came true. She is truly am empathic person who treats her customers with respect and kindness. Thank you, Elyse, and I hope we can stay in touch.
Elyse was our top choice the second time around
We had the good fortune of working with Elyse to purchase our last residence as well as sell it when the time came. Elyse was our top choice the second time around due to our flawless and smooth process with her the first time around.
In my opinion, her best assets to a buyer/seller are: # 1 – Timely response – almost instantly in most cases # 2 – Knowledge – of the process, the area and of people # 3 – Dedication – with a “do what it takes” kind of attitude # 4 – Connection to clients – a genuine desire to help you find a home that will make you happy. And an ability to empathize and ease your mind during this naturally stressful process. # 5 – Class act professional – someone you want to do business with and you want to represent you. Respectful, ethical, upfront interactions, knowledgeable and courteous.
In addition, Elyse is obviously a lover of animals, especially dogs! Elyse is someone you can place your confidence in and I give her my highest recommendation. Best of luck!
She was not only my realtor, she was my advocate
I found Elyse’s website online when I started my search for pet-friendly properties in the Boca Raton area. I sent her an email and had an immediate phone call from her. From that moment until we closed, she was there for me every step of the way. In fact, she’s still there helping me out. I had many questions, explain the process, and get me through it all.
She is excellent in every way: professional, real estate skills, recommendations to other professionals, i.e., mortgage brokers, lawyers, home inspectors, getting things done on a very timely basis, hand holding, kind, caring and wanting to do all she can to help you find the perfect property.
She was not only my realtor, she was my advocate. I highly recommend Elyse whether you are looking for a pet-friendly property or not. She is the best!
Elyse helped us tremendously
My husband and I moved to the Boca-Delray area from the Chicago area with two adult children and an elderly dog. We knew nothing about the area, nor the extensive restrictions for people who have pets. Elyse helped us tremendously. She took the time to know us and quickly figured out what we wanted in a home – actually much better than we knew ourselves!
She was patient as we sold our home up North, showing us homes in the types of neighborhoods we’d feel comfortable in. Elyse was on top of everything from putting in our offer to finding the right bank to finance, and everything in between. The closing process was a dream.
Now that we’ve closed on our home, I consider Elyse my first true friend in South Florida. I would recommend her unconditionally – I can’t say enough good things about her. Elyse Berman is a true professional and a realty gem.
I cannot imagine being as thrilled with any other Realtor
The Internet is a nice aid when looking for an out-of-state home. However, it does not replace the skills and knowledge of a dedicated professional realtor like Elyse Berman. My husband and I are very fortunate to have found this devoted pet lover during one of our unenlightened Internet searches.
We were unaware that many communities do not allow pets at all, limit pet numbers to one or two, or even reject certain breeds. Having three small dogs greatly reduced the number of houses available to us.
Elyse is a pro at matching pet owners with the perfect community and home for their unique situation. It was reassuring to see how well prepared Elyse was every day. Every house and community we saw would work for us with few deletions to our “wants” list. Also, Elyse has an innate ability for understanding what clients want/need. We thought we wanted an established home, but our facial reactions and comments said otherwise to Elyse after walking thorough homes we requested to see.
Hindsight, we are elated that Elyse threw in a new construction complex to view. This pet-friendly community finally made two opposite thinking spouses agree that this was the “one” for our future. It took less than a total of one week of viewing houses to “hit the jackpot” with our soon-to-be home.
Elyse’s level of professionalism, knowledge and warmth is the ultimate. What a world of difference she makes! She graciously continues to answer phone calls to help former clients with a vast range of requests for needed information/suggestions. That is going above and beyond the sale. She is 100% polished professional and a “constant giver” friend to all fortunate to find her when relocating. I cannot imagine being as thrilled with any other Realtor.
She listened to our concerns about different properties
My wife and I first contacted Elyse when her name came up during an internet search for pet friendly communities in Boca Raton as she herself is a long time pet owner. Initially, we asked her help for a seasonal rental with 2 small dogs. She said that it would be very challenging due to the many restrictions most of the communities have regarding the amount of pets, size and breed. However, she was kind enough to make some recommendations and we started our search.
After a couple of months of searching for seasonal rentals that would allow 2 dogs, we realized there were just too many complications and restrictions, especially being out of state residents. Since it was really important to us at this point in our lives to spend more time in Florida with our dogs, we decided to use Elyse’s many years of experience and expertise in the Boca/Delray area to help us purchase a second home in a pet friendly community.
We had some very specific requirements regarding location, size of the home and community amenities. It didn’t take long for Elyse to help us zero in on two communities which fit most of our needs and ultimately, we chose the very intimate and pet friendly community of Santa Barbara, ideally located in central Boca. We just closed on our new home 10/29/2015.
During every step of the process in finding the right home for us, Elyse was always extremely knowledgeable, professional and readily available to us by phone or email. As a court stenographer in her previous career, she is meticulous in every detail. She listened to our concerns about different properties and locations but would never push us in one direction or the other, leaving it up to us to make the final decisions.
In closing, we would highly recommend Elyse as someone honest and trustworthy to help you with your real estate needs. If you’re a pet owner looking to purchase in Palm Beach County, then you really must contact her!

Elyse, has been diligent and relentless in helping us with our search
I contacted Elyse in February 2014 to help us locate a house to rent in anticipation of our relocation from New York. She was so generous with her time and her knowledge of the Palm Beach County market. We have two dogs and a cat. I knew it would be challenging to identify a home that would allow pets.
Throughout a period of four months, Elyse and I were in constant communication about available rentals. Finally, in July 2014 we identified a house rental in the area we wanted to live in, that is spacious, has a pool and accommodates our pets, and our family! Now almost two years later, we are looking to purchase a home in the area. Elyse, has been diligent and relentless in helping us with our search. She is knowledgeable, personable and possesses unmatched integrity. I have no doubt that with Elyse’s help and expertise, we will soon find our dream home! I highly recommend Elyse to anyone looking to rent or to purchase a house! She is a consummate professional!
