In 2011, she was honored with a recognition by New Jersey Monthly in its selection of “New Jersey 2011 Mortgage Professionals.” Shelley credits her great success as a mortgage professional to her belief in providing her customers with the highest level of integrity and honesty. “For 15 years, I have assisted many individuals throughout the New Jersey area achieve their dream of home ownership,” she says. “Their trust in me was was the most important element throughout the home buying process. I look forward to bringing the same principals to my real estate clients. The real estate business is all about making people feel comfortable and forming a relationship.” This extensive experience, as well as her knowledge of the appraisal process, affords her a valuable perspective as a real estate agent. “I am able to anticipate my client’s needs and help prepare them for the financial process of the real estate transaction.”

Shelley’s ties to the area include the landmark Solari’s restaurant, opened by her grandfather in 1934 and later run by her father and brother until the business was sold less than a year ago. Shelley enjoyed connecting with customers in the restaurant and brings her natural people skills to her role as an agent. Shelley lived in Washington Township for over twenty years and now resides in New Milford with her husband, Glenn, and her three stepdaughters.
