Ellen O’Connor | Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker
As a Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker and a resident of Skaneateles Lake for more than 25 years, I bring an insider’s understanding of lake life, local nuance, and the luxury market to every client relationship. With over two decades of experience representing distinctive homes across Skaneateles, Ithaca, and greater Central New York, I am a trusted advisor for buyers and sellers seeking exceptional service, discretion, and results.
My practice blends deep regional expertise with the world-class reach of Sotheby’s International Realty. I specialize in waterfront estates, village homes, and historic properties—guiding clients through the nuances of shoreline regulation, architectural preservation, investment strategy, and design-led presentation. With experience overseeing more than twenty home renovations, I understand how to position a property for maximum value, both aesthetically and financially. Whether you're purchasing a private lakeside retreat or preparing to sell a significant estate, I provide a seamless, white-glove experience tailored to your goals.
My credentials include CLHMS, ABR, GRI, and SRES, supported by formal education from St. Lawrence University and a lifetime membership in the National Association of REALTORS®. Beyond real estate, I’m an avid gardener, historic-home renovator, and lover of classic design — passions that influence how I stage and present every home. And on many days, you’ll find Beauregard, my Jack-Russell–Australian Cattle Dog mix, accompanying me on lakeside tours.
