Ellen Paris

Luxury Real Estate Writer
I love the world of luxury real estate. I’ve spent years writing and storytelling about “adventures in real estate” for national publications, both print and digital and private clients. I’ve worked with a variety of luxury real estate professionals on writing, marketing, branding and collateral pieces for print and digital platforms.
My interest kicked-off in Los Angeles, where I spent 12 years in the Forbes Magazine West Coast bureau reporting and writing about all things real estate. I am currently a Contributor to Forbes.com, focusing exclusively on what else? Real Estate. I follow luxury real estate markets around the country as my sport of choice.
From the first tear-downs turning into mega mansions in Beverly Hills to Miami’s “Star Architects” designing over-the-top luxury condos, I’ve chronicled investors who have made mega-millions during the boom years and then lost significant wealth when the bubble burst from California to Hawaii to Washington DC. Scouting out luxury market trends and writing about buying and selling opportunities is a skill, I’ve honed over the years.
