Joanne Shakley

Joanne’s real estate career began in Stamford, CT in the early 80's as a commercial broker. She 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, she then transferred her sales skills to corporate interiors and returned to real estate with Wheeler Real Estate in 2000, which became Halstead in 2009 and has become a specialist in selling waterfront properties. Every year, she has earned top awards for her selling skills. When she transferred to residential real estate, she immersed herself 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 she may give her clients the best experience ever.

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

•18 years in residential real estate with William Raveis and Halstead.
