Elena Quinby
REALTOR®
Elena's appreciation for homes with character began early, growing up in Deephaven among the lake country's original cabins and cottages. She earned her degree in film and photography in Bozeman, Montana, then returned to Minneapolis to build a career in advertising, producing commercials for a wide range of brands.
Elena pairs a designer's eye with an advisor's judgment. She sees the potential in every space, understands how thoughtful changes reshape the way a home lives, and guides clients through one of life's most significant decisions with empathy, patience, and a steady hand.
Elena believes a home is defined by how it feels: its flow, its light, and its emotional pull. Her background in film and advertising gives sellers a distinct advantage, with marketing that tells a property's story as compellingly as it shows it. Buyers value her just as highly, for her clear communication, close attention to detail, and skill at the negotiating table.
Elena lives near Bryant Lake with her partner, Scott, their daughter, Maria, and two rescue dogs. In the off-season, they spend their time restoring their cabin in Wisconsin and traveling the world.

She knew exactly what to look for and how to put together a strong offer, happily educating us along the way. We're thrilled with the home, and are eternally grateful to Elena for making it happen!”
