Ellen Schwartz

Ellen Schwartz is a trusted Westchester County real estate specialist with over 24 years of experience and more than $600 million in closed sales. Based in Katonah and working out of her Bedford office, Ellen is a true Westchester expert — deeply rooted in the communities she sells in and genuinely passionate about the region she calls home. Her knowledge spans Westchester's most highly desired towns, and she is especially known as the go-to advisor in Bedford and Katonah. Year after year, she ranks among the top producing agents in the area — a reflection of the trust her clients place in her and the results she consistently delivers.
Ellen works with buyers and sellers at every stage of life, with a particular passion for welcoming people to Westchester — whether they're leaving New York City behind for more space and a different pace, or relocating from across the country in search of their dream home. Ellen doesn't just help clients find a house; she helps them understand Westchester living, from the feel of each town and school district to the rhythms of community life. First-time buyers, move-up buyers, downsizers, and seasoned sellers all find in Ellen an advisor who truly gets what they need.
What sets Ellen apart is the loyalty she inspires. Her clients come back to her again and again — when life changes, when families grow, when it's time for the next chapter. That lasting trust is built on honest advice, deep market knowledge, and a genuine investment in every person she works with. Her approach is both strategic and intuitive: she listens closely, advises honestly, and positions her clients for success in every market.
And when clients are ready to move on, Ellen is still in their corner. As part of the Sotheby's International Realty network, she has trusted advisors across the United States and around the world ready to help clients settle into their next home — wherever life takes them.
As a designated Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Ellen offers specialized expertise in working with aging homeowners throughout Northern Westchester, thoughtfully guiding them through downsizing and major life transitions with care, discretion, and a steady approach. Dual licensed in New York and Connecticut, and an active member of the Katonah Chamber of Commerce, Ellen is known for her ability to guide clients with clarity, confidence, and a genuine understanding of how people want to live.
