Why Sell With Me?
Deciding to sell your home is a tremendous financial and emotional decision. Choosing an established and trusted local REALTOR® can help turn this confusing process into a stress-free transaction. Using a REALTOR® means you and your family can focus on starting your new lifestyle without worrying about the hassle of selling your current home.
That’s where I can help. Not only am I a REALTOR®, I am a Certified Residential Specialist. Just 3% of all REALTORS® nationwide are Certified Residential Specialists. My marketing plan is designed to get your home sold quickly and for the best price. Read on to see why you should choose me to sell your home
What’s Your Home Worth?
Finding out your home’s value in today’s real estate market is easy! Check out our Free Home Valuation page where you can enter a few details about your home and I will generate a full CMA (Comparable Market Analysis) on your home that will give you detailed and recent local Real Estate Market trends, recently sold properties, pending property sales, comparable homes values, neighborhood values, and more.
I will give you all of the tools and data to see what similar homes are selling for, so you can price your home right the first time. This, along with my knowledge of the current buyer/seller activity, is the best way to get an accurate estimate of what your home will sell for in today’s current real estate market. Together, we can combine your selling needs, the market data and my experience to set the best selling price for your home to get it sold fast and for the best price.

Having an experienced REALTOR® in your corner is especially important come negotiation time. This is more than just a financial arrangement; it’s an emotional one, as well. Selling your home can mean a job change, school change for your children, and possibly leaving behind everything familiar to you and your family. People will be coming in and out of your home and sizing it up for themselves.
As your agent, I will wear many hats. You can be confident that I know my market thoroughly and can answer all questions about your home, the community and the local real estate market. From fielding phone calls about your home, watching out for potential problems in offers and counter-offers to drafting complex paperwork, I will work hard to make your home-selling process as stress free as possible and get your home sold in the quickest possible time frame while protecting your best interests.
Home Staging
The difference between a staged home and an unstaged home can translate to thousands of dollars in the sale price. Properly staged homes often sell for more money and can even trigger a bidding war on your home! Clutter often makes rooms seem smaller, and overwhelming decorations may prevent a potential buyer from envisioning their own style in the room. This is a time to truly accept that you’re moving forward and allow yourself to picture your home through potential buyers’ eyes. Watch the video below to see how Home Staging can help buyers see your home as more attractive and help your home sell faster AND for more money! When you are ready, I will help you or recommend a professional stager so together we can prepare your home and get it SOLD!
Marketing Your Home
When listing you home, you will have many real estate agents competing to work with you. What makes me different than all the rest? The services I offer. Many real estate agents are stuck in the old marketing ways of the past and don’t take the time to learn new ways to market your home like Social Media Marketing, Single Property Web pages, Blogging Your Listing then sharing it virtually everywhere, Virtual tours, etc. That’s one of the things that make me different. I am constantly looking for new ways to bring more traffic and buyers to your home.
I understand the importance of using technology and social media to get your home sold fast and for top dollar. My services go above and beyond our local competitors.
And don’t fall for the old open house routine. Rarely, if ever, are houses sold at an open house. Open houses do little more than benefit the agent, who is able to pick up more buyers. Especially in today’s digital world where your house can be seen almost immediately online by anyone who is truly interested.

Closing Time
Once you’ve finally accepted an offer on your home, inspections will be done to satisfy both the buyer and their mortgage lender. Many sale agreements are incredibly complex and feature a number of qualifications and fine print. This can be confusing and may include additional requests and addendums. I am familiar with these documents as a REALTOR® and can help guide you through the process.
Packing and Moving
Depending on how far you’re moving, you may require the assistance of a professional mover. Large, bulky items like television sets and furniture are not generally accepted by companies like FedEx or UPS. Consider not only the cost to move, but other factors like time and proper equipment. Though professional movers may seem pricey at first, when you look at the time and money to get similar results, you may reconsider.
Be sure to get moving estimates in writing and compare several companies. Ask for discounts and be sure to only use licensed, bonded movers. Also make a checklist, or ask me for one, so that you’re organized and efficient.
Client Reviews
She is the most attentive realtor that I have worked with through 5 houses
I had an excellent experience with Elyse ten years ago when first purchasing a home in Florida so contacted her again to sell and buy a new home. Again, she provided excellent service in selling our home and understanding exactly what we were looking for in a new home. She assisted with our search and made both closings go smoothly. She is the most attentive realtor that I have worked with through five houses. I recommend her highly.
Elyse deserves 10 stars
Elyse deserves 10 stars. I cannot express how patient and helpful she was during a stressful time. This is the second time I have worked with her and will work with her again. I highly recommend her.
Elyse exceeded expectations
My family was very pleased with the service and professionalism provided by Elyse Berman, with Best Connections Realty, when selling our father’s Boca Raton home. From our initial meeting through closing, Elyse exceeded expectations, managing a sale that was quick, efficient and at the asking price. The closing – which happened to coincide with a pandemic and a threatening hurricane – was seamless and handled with every attention to detail. Communication was concise and timely. The process was especially impressive given that fact that we live out of state. If you are in the market for a real estate pro, I highly recommend her services. (Even my brother, who is generally critical of everything and everybody, was impressed).
Thank you for an excellent job and representing our interests

You took what is usually a very stressful time and made it easier
We wanted to take a moment and thank you for helping us both sell our house and buy our new “dream home.” You took what is usually a very stressful time and made it easier. From start to finish, there wasn’t a detail you overlooked making for a very smooth sale and purchase. We are thrilled we found you to represent us and are so grateful that you never hesitated to go the extra mile. Not many other Realtors would have worked as hard for us as you have. Thank you for everything!!!!
P.S. Rest assured if we ever have to move again, you’re the first one we’ll call!
Thank you so much for all your kindness and help. You are the best.

You did a great job!
I just wanted to say thank you again for helping Mary Beth sell her condo. You did a great job! All the best and a very happy holiday season and a fantastic 2011!!
She is the ultimate professional.
Elyse was recommended to us by Margaret Rome. Elyse sold our Mom’s condo in West Palm Beach (We live in Greensboro NC.) She was so helpful in the sale and even made recommendations as to how we could donate the furniture. She is the ultimate professional.
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 is an absolute professional
Elyse helped my wife and I to not only sell our house but buy it as well. She is an absolute professional and I would do work with her for a real estate transactions I will ever have in the South Florida area.
Thank you Elyse for your true support and putting us in a home that we love
I can not say enough about how professional Elyse is and the personal attention she gave me and my family in that I had major problems for one year selling my home, and Elyse stayed with me not knowing when and if I would buy a home with her, She is a smart and compassionate person that I would recommend to anyone who wants a realtor who really cares about their client even after verbal or signed agreement through and after a sale.
The year it took me to sell my home I met quite a few agents and no one can come near to what Elyse does, So let me and my family go on record and thank you Elyse for your true support and putting us in a home that we love.
P.S. After we looked at 50 different ones. thank you.
I would highly recommend her as a Realtor.
Elyse was fantastic from start to finish. She did a great job of putting together the MLS listing with effective photos, descriptions and positive features of the house and community. Once listed, she conducted about 14 showings in a very short time, one of which resulted in an offer and eventual purchase. Elyse’s follow up throughout the process was fabulous, keeping everything on track and making sure that we did what we needed to do to move things along and meet our timeframe for closing. She understood the area and I believe presented us with good comparable sales that allowed us to price the property correctly. I would highly recommend her as a Realtor.
She makes the entire process less stressful.
Elyse Berman is, without any doubt, one of the finest Real Estate Agents I have ever dealt with professionally, as a Justice and attorney, and personally as a Buyer and Seller of one family real estate. She is knowledgeable, accommodating and always has fully researched the Market. She is courteous, patient and always professional. She was and is a pleasure to deal with. She makes the entire process less stressful.
