Hello

Hi, I'm Erin Terkelsen

Anchored in Mashpee, where I live with my family, both canine and human, my work as a Realtor® is informed by a passion for Cape Cod’s natural resources. Having served on Mashpee’s Conservation and Sewer Commissions, I bring unique perspectives and resources to each transaction.

Though born and raised in Pelham, New York, I draw on personal experience and decades of family knowledge. My great-grandparents first purchased on the Cape in the spring of 1926. Before becoming a realtor, I worked in the culinary industry for twenty-five years, finishing my career as an Executive Chef at a Boston law firm and department head at a Cape Cod location of Atria Senior Living. With a proven record of client satisfaction, I am able to navigate complex matters with ease and care. Approachable, funny, and warm, I am a human being before anything else.

When I’m not out with my clients, I enjoy trail running in the river woodlands, cheering Mashpee sports, and taking our corgis, Angus  & Murphy, to the beach. In life, as in real  estate, my guiding principle is “be the change you want to see in the  world.”
