Ellie Ortmann - Keller Williams Realty Integrity NW Helping empty nesters simplify the downsizing process using My Compassionate Care Approach. With over 30 years experience. I am eager to serve you.

I love helping people sell and find their perfect home! Experience
As an agent who's an expert in this local area, (Buffalo, MN - Wright County Area) I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. Here are some of the things I can do for you:

Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows Buffalo, MN and the surrounding area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home

Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will price your home, market your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close. Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

That 1998 kitchen isn't stopping you from selling. Guessing which repairs matter is.

Most homes need a couple of fixes, a fair price, and nothing else. The rest is money and summers you don't have to spend.

Comment READY and I'll show you what's worth fixing in your house.

That feeling means something.

I lost clients because I sent a stager to their home too soon.

They felt overwhelmed and scared, and some of them walked away.

Now I start with one question: "Why did you buy this house?"

Chances are, that's the same reason the next family will buy it. So we start right there.

Swipe to see what happened.

Dear Ellie,

You are in the middle of a remodel and the house is still loud. The boys are home helping. Enjoy every noisy minute of it.

Downsizing with one of the boys still at home takes guts. Trust your gut on this one.

Soon all the boys will be out. All starting families of their own.

The house you are remodeling will fit that chapter too. The right size, the right rooms, and no bedroom you avoid walking past.

Everything you learn from this move will help other people. You will sit at kitchen tables with clients who feel just like you did. You will know what to say.

You are ahead of the curve, and you don't even know it yet.

Love, 💕
Ellie

They'd spent years in Arizona. But their hearts never left Minnesota.

Their kids were here, and one day, they decided it was time to come home.

The challenge was they needed a one-level rambler in Buffalo, and they were searching for it from across the country.

That kind of search can feel overwhelming. So many unknowns, so many steps they'd never done before.

Their biggest worry wasn't the house itself. It was not knowing what came next.

So that's where we started.

Before anything else, I walked them through every step, what to expect, and when. Nothing was a surprise.

And when the right rambler came along, they were ready. They bought it.

That's what this work is really about. Not square footage, but the chance to be near the people you love.

He got that.

And when he passed a few years later, he was surrounded by his wife, children, and grandchildren.

👩🏼‍🦰 None of these are glamorous but they’re things that will actually move things forward before the process actually starts.

Save this for when you’re ready to stop thinking about it and start doing something about it. 😊

A listing conversation is about price.

A planning conversation is about your life.

Have the 2nd one first.

DM me if next year is even a maybe. No pressure, just planning.

This crockpot has outlived 3 microwaves (probably more) !

It has a low and high setting and has never let me down.

What’s in your house that the kids don’t want? 👇🏻

09/11/2026

I will say the thing nobody else in this process will say.

Your kids do not get a vote.

They mean well. The feelings are real. I have had this exact conversation in my own family.

But your next move is yours to design. Not theirs.
