about

Deirdre spent fifteen years coordinating events and weddings in CA, NY, and PA. She loves working with others to plan big milestone events in their lives. She was drawn to Lamacchia Realty because of their reputation for constant integrity, strong community, positivity, and the way they encourage all their agents to embrace their authenticity. As a mom of two small boys, it’s important for her to model these values in life and in work. She is a certified National Military Relocation Professional and appreciates how Lamacchia offers many resources in serving Active duty Military and Veterans, which is very dear to her heart.

Deirdre has worn many hats over the past twenty years. She graduated with a double major in Psychology and Theater from Fordham University in NYC and then studied abroad in Sydney, Australia for a year. During college, she was fortunate to volunteer with Global Outreach and spent some time in Calcutta, India working with the Sisters of Charity. She then moved on and spent a decade in Los Angeles as an Actress and a Writer. She had a lot of fun working in commercials, voiceovers, episodic TV, and short films. She coordinated hundreds of weddings during her time in LA and even played semi-professional dodgeball at the Staples Center! One of her proudest accomplishments is having completed hiking the Camino de Santiago in Spain. 
Life is a lot more simple these days. Being back home in Massachusetts with her husband and providing a home for her two boys has put everything into perspective. They spend as much time outdoors as possible, hiking, swimming, and kayaking. She grew up in Cumberland, Rhode Island & Attleboro MA, and returned to Massachusetts in 2018.

What made you want to join Lamacchia Realty?

“I was first drawn to the sheer happiness of every employee I spoke with. I soon realized there seemed to be a culture of kindness, support, and excitement. When I dug deeper and learned about the company’s strong sense of integrity and incredible success in their domain, I stopped looking elsewhere…and I’ve never looked back. I am so happy I chose Lamacchia.”

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

“My favorite way to relax is a brisk walk outside while listening to podcasts. It’s a great way to revisit and discover the writers, comics, bloggers, Spanish-speakers, and history-makers that are putting their marks on the world right now.”

Do you have a favorite charity?

“BetheMatch (bethematch.org) is a meaningful organization for my family. My incredible sister-in-law recently lost a fifteen-year battle with cancer. However, she was able to live ten years past her original prognosis because of a successful bone marrow transplant. She always strongly supported this organization & we will continue to do so in her honor as well.”

What is your favorite thing about your job?

“I love meeting people, finding out what they need, and making things happen for them. There are so many details to collect and emotions to navigate in buying and selling homes. I feel blessed to offer market expertise & a steady hand to my clients throughout this process.”

Deirdre was passionate about helping me buy a home that matched my family's wishlist. She's a good listener and picked up on the small details that meant so much when it came to the whole picture of finding the right home. She has solid determination to make it happen, and I like her confidence. Throughout the search, she was wonderfully enthusiastic about looking at properties, seeing possibilities and considering options, and for that I appreciate her professional experience as a realtor, and personal knowledge as a homeowner active in her community. I loved all the tech-savvy ways of looking at homes she presented. She is an excellent communicator and kept me up-to-date about what to view. With her, I was able to be at the right place at the right time. With her knowledge and network at Lamachhia, she answered questions and solved problems. She was committed to helping me and spent a huge amount of time reviewing details of properties and the fine print of contracts - going over everything with me about what look for and to expect. She's a star and I thank her for helping us-- we love our new home!

It has been a pleasure working with Dierdre Ellar! She has been a positive force in our journey of finding a house.Dierdre goes extra mile to understand the client requirements and puts best effort to meet them! She is very meticulous and organized and ensures all the action items are taken care off. We are first time home buyers and working with Dierdre helped bring clarity to the US home buying process. She has a list of good references for Lenders,Attorneys and so on!! Dierdre is very thoughtful and pays attention to details. Home buying process can be overwhelming but having Dierdre on our side made it an enjoyable experience. Taj and I would recommend Lamachia group and Dierdre Ellar in particular to future home owners.
