About Dena

Dena Zarra is a Licensed Real Estate Broker (GRI, CSA) with 30+ years of experience in Greenwich, Stamford, and Lower Fairfield County. Born and raised in Greenwich, she is one of the primary brokers on the Greenwich Streets Team at Compass, RealTrends-ranked among Connecticut's top-performing teams by sales volume. Since 2017, Dena has closed over $70M in residential transactions, with individual sales reaching $22M across Old Greenwich, Riverside, Cos Cob, Greenwich, and Stamford.

Dena specializes in luxury homes from $1.5M to $20M+, new construction, renovation strategy, downsizing transitions, and senior real estate. Her construction and renovation background gives her a rare edge: she evaluates properties structurally, identifying layout inefficiencies, deferred maintenance, and hidden value others miss. Buyers avoid costly mistakes. Sellers maximize return through strategic preparation, pricing, and positioning.

Her clients include move-up buyers, estate sellers, luxury investors, seniors planning their next chapter, and out-of-state buyers relocating to Fairfield County. She guides each client from pre-market strategy through negotiation, contract, and close.

Clients value her honest advice, hands-on approach, and straight talk that builds long-term relationships. As a Compass Plus member, Dena combines deep local expertise with industry-leading marketing to give every client a measurable edge in one of Connecticut's most competitive luxury markets.

Dena helped find and more importantly close on our dream home during one of the most competitive times the housing market has ever seen. Her knowledge and expertise stands out among the best in the vast pool of common realtors. She knows the ins and outs of every house and has a great network of others in the industry that like Dena, you can trust when buying or selling a home. Dena is extremely patient and responsive. She is always available for her clients and is extremely trustworthy. Dena puts the needs of her clients above everything. Her passion for what she does is obvious and contagious. She took away the stress and anxiety of buying a new home and made it fun and exciting. On top of all that she was able to get our old place rented within two days! Thank you for everything Dena, you are the best!!

Dena was great! She was attentive, listening to our wishlist and comments at each property we visited, she took them and helped to find us the perfect home. She was always available and patient! Once we made our move she had a ton of resources for work completion and suggestions for our every need.
