Elaine Bodine

Elaine is a dedicated professional with a passion for helping others achieve their goals through reliable partnerships based on inspiration, support, and guidance. With extensive experience in personal development, sales, and management, she brings a well-rounded skill set to her work, focusing on negotiating effectively, leading by example, and balancing assertiveness with active listening. Elaine prioritizes understanding her clients' needs, ensuring their goals are met efficiently and effectively, while maintaining strong communication and trust.
Originally from Liverpool, England, Elaine moved to the United States after college. She lived in Monmouth County, NJ, before relocating to California, where she lived for over eight years. Eventually, she returned to the Jersey Shore to raise her family. With a deep connection to the local community, Elaine has spent more than 25 summers along the shore, gaining valuable knowledge of the area and its offerings. Her involvement in her children’s school systems and extracurricular activities further shaped her understanding of the local environment and its resources.
Elaine’s commitment to service extends beyond her professional life. Together with her daughter, Alayna, she co-founded The Alayna Jayne Foundation, a nonprofit that supports adolescent and young adult cancer patients through the use of cold caps during chemotherapy treatments. The foundation advocates and funds this service, offers retreats for recipients and their caregivers, and provides scholarships to eligible students. Elaine’s advocacy for her daughter—who was the first pediatric cancer patient at Memorial Sloan Kettering to use a cold cap—has inspired others and led to meaningful change in the cancer treatment community.
Elaine’s strong family values and sense of service are the cornerstones of her professional approach. Married for over thirty years to Carl, a Jersey Shore native and Air Force veteran, they have three children, all St. Rose alumni, who have pursued their own paths in higher education and service. Elaine’s personal and professional experiences equip her to help clients navigate the real estate process with care and dedication, ensuring that each transaction is smooth and successful, and that clients’ best interests are always at the forefront.
