REAL Team Niagara


Stephanie Schaeffer

REAL Estate Agent

Stephanie is the fearless leader of The REAL Team Niagara! With over a decade of real estate experience under her belt, and being a House Flipper Extraordinaire, Stephanie knows everything there is to know about the real estate industry. Her number one priority is making her clients happy and ensuring that the buying and selling process is as stress-free as possible. 

Stephanie, with the rest of the team, will always go the extra mile…or ten…to deliver the highest level of professional care and consideration, and her proven track record demonstrates her success in the industry. As a doting dog-mom and a lover of nature she is just as comfortable getting her hands dirty as she is negotiating real estate details on her client’s behalf.

Jay Kalryzian

REAL Estate Agent

As a lifelong resident of Niagara, I’m thrilled to bring my extensive background in sales, marketing, and construction renovations to our real estate team. Born and raised here, with roots in every city across the region, I’m more than just a local—I’m deeply connected to this community. Whether it's hiking to one of our beautiful waterfalls, grabbing fresh produce from the local markets, or having fun at one of Niagara’s many festivals, I’m passionate about everything this area has to offer. I’ve always been involved in the community, coaching for the Pelham Soccer Club, volunteering across the Niagara region, and donating to a variety of causes. I’ve seen firsthand how vibrant and connected our community is, and I’m excited to contribute even more through working with The REAL Team. 

My approach is simple: combine my years of experience in marketing and social media with my love for Niagara to create a customer experience that’s as real and rewarding as possible. I’m all about keeping it authentic while embracing the future of real estate in our region. At home in Fonthill, I’m constantly working on making my house a beautiful and fun place for me and my two boys. We love hosting friends and family for a swim and delicious food. 

My goal within our real estate team is to bring a positive attitude and tons of energy, helping us be the best for our clients—whether they’re new to the area or have been here for years. With decades of experience and hundreds of satisfied clients behind me, I’m excited to see what we can achieve together. Keep it Real, Jay Kalryzian

Kelly is The REAL Team's Client Care Manager. She has a background as a Real Estate Assistant and a Travel Agent, so exceeding our clients’ expectations comes naturally to her.
