Hi, I’m Ellie Bechtel
I’m a Minnesota REALTOR® with a calm, informed, and personalized approach. I help first-time homebuyers, downsizing families, and sellers navigate the Minnesota real estate market with clarity, data, and genuine support.
I grew up in White Bear Lake, Minnesota as one of seven siblings, where life was always full of energy, noise, and nonstop learning from each other. As the daughter of a real estate agent, I watched firsthand what it meant to guide people through major milestones with care, patience, and dedication — and that inspired me to follow a similar path.
After graduating from the University of Wisconsin–Platteville, I returned home and have lived in the Twin Cities for the past five years. Today, I share my home with my playful cat, Cupid, who keeps things fun and always brings me a smile.
Helping others find their place in Minnesota is my passion. My goal is to make the home-buying journey smooth, informed, and confidence-building — and to help you achieve your homeownership goals across my favorite state (Minnesota of course!).
I’m a REALTOR® with Edina Realty, working with buyers and sellers in Minneapolis, Saint Paul and across the Twin Cities. My two areas of focus are first-time home buyers and homeowners who are downsizing. You can read my First-Time Home Buyer Guide and my guide to downsizing in Minnesota to see how I approach each.
