Elena Santiago Ruiz

Elena was born and raised in Spain but has always been curious and eager to discover new paths. To date, she has lived in 6 different countries and has traveled to more than 35 nations. Traveling the world provided Elena with the opportunity to learn from different cultures and develop the ability to better understand and anticipate the needs, expectations and desires of her diverse clients from all over the world.

Throughout her professional career, Elena has always pursued her passion for nurturing interpersonal relationships and for interior design.

After 20 years of experience in the Hospitality industry, including 13 years managing staff in 5 Star Hotels worldwide, Elena decided to put all her knowledge and empathy to work in the Real Estate business.

Gifted with exceptional analytical skills and attention to detail, Elena’s goal is to help her clients find their dream home or the most successful investment property. The home buying journey begins with Elena engaging in active listening during the first meeting and ends when she sees the twinkle in her client’s eyes after viewing the ideal property.

As a Venetian by choice, Elena feels lucky to live and work in such a unique city where beauty is to be found around every hidden corner and art permeates daily life.
