A Connecticut native, Chelsea grew up living on an active lake, giving her a deep firsthand understanding of waterfront living.

Her professional background as a rehabilitation director, where she led teams, advocated for clients, and navigated complex negotiations, gives her a decisive edge in problem solving and transaction management.

Chelsea lives on Lake Lillinonah and also owns a home on Candlewood Lake, where her family keeps their boat. This dual lake lifestyle gives her unmatched insight into the unique nuances of each market she serves. She is an avid boater and enjoys wakeboarding and paddleboarding, as well as raw woodworking projects such as live edge tables and tree stump furniture, reflecting her appreciation for craftsmanship and home design.

A top producing agent who has closed millions of dollars in residential and luxury transactions, Chelsea is especially sought after for waterfront properties where zoning, shoreline use, and environmental considerations demand experience and precision. From weekend retreats to full time waterfront residences, Chelsea Stinson delivers elevated representation for Connecticut’s most desirable lakefront homes.
