About Kippy
Hi, I’m Kippy Ellis — a proud West Michigan Realtor, wife, mother, and grandmother who believes that every home tells a story. I’ve built my real estate career on connection, care, and a deep love for helping people find their perfect place to call home.
West Michigan isn’t just where I work — it’s where my heart is. From the sparkling lakes and golden sunsets to snowy winter mornings and cozy neighborhoods, I’m passionate about the lifestyle this beautiful area offers. Whether you’re buying your first home, searching for a lakefront retreat, or ready to sell and start your next chapter, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
My approach is simple: listen well, work hard, and treat every client like family. Real estate isn’t just about houses — it’s about people, dreams, and building a life you love.
When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me enjoying time with my husband, kids, and grandkids, soaking up sunshine by the lake, or embracing Michigan’s snowy charm.
Let’s make your next move in West Michigan something special — together.
My History
I was born and raised in beautiful Newport Beach, California, where a love for the coast, community, and connection became part of who I am. Life eventually led me across the country to West Michigan in 2019, where I instantly fell in love with the area’s natural beauty, friendly people, and the sense of home that fills every lakeshore town.
After settling in, I decided to turn my lifelong passion for people and homes into a career — and in 2020, I began my journey in real estate. Since then, I’ve been helping clients across West Michigan find not just houses, but homes that truly fit their lifestyle and dreams.
My background gives me a unique perspective — blending California’s laid-back coastal charm with West Michigan’s warmth and authenticity. Whether you’re new to the area or a lifelong local, I’m here to make your real estate experience smooth, personal, and enjoyable every step of the way.
My Mission
At Kippy Ellis Real Estate, my mission is to help you achieve your homeownership goals and turn your real estate dreams into reality. Whether you're envisioning your first home, looking for a larger or smaller home, seeking land to build your dream home, considering an investment property, or wanting to sell your current home - I am here to assist YOU!
I put my clients first with a focus on clear and consistent communication. I am with you from day 1 (and I do not leave after you sign closing paperwork). With my streamlined process of buying and/or selling, you will receive a stress-free transaction, have continous communication, and I will always do what is in your best interest.
