overseeing every detail to ensure the deal goes smoothly. Supervising a full restoration of her current home, along with previous renovations in her first home, has given Elisa first-hand experience working with contractors, architects, and the Department of Buildings. This has made her an invaluable resource for buyers interested in purchasing a fixer-upper, or sellers willing to do a few small updates to maximize profits. A first-generation American with parents from Italy and Brazil, Elisa grew up in Borough Park and Midwood, Brooklyn. After a career as a fashion buyer for department and specialty stores, she opened a motorcycle shop and then a clothing store. Her focus on customer service, honed negotiating skills, clear strategy, and understanding of the market, helped these businesses thrive. After a 20 year marriage, Elisa separated from her husband and lives with her daughter Sienna, and two English bulldogs, Bubba and Buster. After losing her son Aidan in 2012 at the age of 7 to a disease called ALD (adrenoleukodystrophy), she fought to have “Aidan’s Law” signed in New York in 2013. New York became the first state in the country to test every baby born for ALD and through her efforts created through her son’s foundation, testing is now available in 23 states. She is currently working on Federal legislation to ensure every baby born in the United States is tested for every condition possible at birth, giving them the best chance at a normal healthy life.

Elisa aims to provide the highest level of service to her clients and takes deep pride in helping them achieve their real estate goals.
