Monica Staehely Agent

Hi, I’m Monica Staehely. I’m a real estate professional with more than 10 years of experience helping clients navigate the markets of Fairfield County, New York City and throughout the United States. I approach every transaction with a mix of data-driven analysis, strategic negotiation, and genuine care for the people I serve. I listen intently to ensure your needs as a client are being understood and delivered on. 

Before joining Real Broker, I represented buyers and sellers across Fairfield County and closed over $20 million in sales. My real estate journey began in Manhattan, where I learned to thrive in a fast-paced, competitive environment that shaped the way I advocate for my clients today.

Prior to real estate, I worked with Fortune 500 companies like Union Pacific Railroad and PepsiCo. Managing multimillion-dollar contracts and complex operations taught me how to negotiate confidently, communicate clearly, and always stay two steps ahead—all skills I bring to my real estate business.

Originally from the Midwest, I have now proudly called Fairfield County home for the past decade.  I’m committed to offering every client transparency, professionalism, and a smooth experience from start to finish. Whether you’re buying, selling, relocating, or exploring your options, I’m here to guide you with expertise and integrity.
