With deep California roots and a lifelong passion for real estate, Beth Ellis has established herself as one of the most trusted and effective agents in San Francisco. A third-generation Realtor® now based at Compass, Beth is known for her warm approach, meticulous attention to detail, and ability to guide clients through even the most complex transactions with calm confidence.

She brings both legacy and innovation to the table—leveraging modern marketing tools while upholding the values of discretion, trust, and personal connection passed down through her family.

A Legacy of Real Estate Excellence

Beth’s real estate journey began in childhood, attending open houses with her grandmother, a successful Beverly Hills agent in the 1970s. After earning her Communications degree at Santa Clara University, she officially entered the field in the Bay Area in the early 1990s and never looked back.

She brings strategic marketing, keen negotiation skills, and refined aesthetic judgment to every listing. Her specialty includes helping clients understand the full value of a property—not just as a transaction, but as a lifestyle investment.

She works closely with everyone from first-time buyers to seasoned investors and has a unique talent for navigating high-net-worth sales and off-market opportunities, often guiding clients through the nuances of architecturally significant homes with ease.
