About The Shakley Team

Experience

My real estate career began in Stamford, CT in the early 80's as a commercial broker. I was in the right place at the right time when many corporations were relocating to Fairfield County from New York. Retiring as a Vice President with Rostenberg-Doern, I then transferred my sales skills to corporate interiors and returned to real estate with Wheeler Real Estate in 2000, which became Halstead in 2009 and have become a specialist in selling waterfront properties. Every year, I have earned top awards for my selling skills. When I transferred to residential real estate, I immersed myself in post graduate classes and earned the esteemed designations of Accredited Buyer's Rep (ABR) and Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI). Adding the extra touch requires added knowledge and experience so that I may give my clients the best experience ever.

Ten years in commercial real estate covering Fairfield County, as Vice President at two firms
