About Elena Harper
Elena Harper founded Harper & Vale Group in 2014 with a simple premise: a team beats a soloist when the team runs one process. Nineteen years into her career, Elena leads listing strategy across the group's three core towns while co-founder Marcus Vale runs Glen Ellyn and the group's pricing desk.
Priya Raman heads the buyer side — first-time buyers especially — and Tom Kowalski leads relocation and senior transitions in Wheaton. The group closed 96 transactions last year at 98.8% of list price.
Every listing gets the same playbook regardless of price point: pricing analysis from the last ninety days of hyperlocal comps, staging and photography included, and a coordinated launch. Every buyer gets a specialist, not whoever answered the phone.
