Two years in and already an agent to watch.

Elsy Sacaza says her introduction to this industry has been a challenging journey, but she would

not have taken the first steps any other way. The bilingual realtor says she loves helping others,

talking with people, and guiding clients through the buying or selling process as they look for a

place to plant roots.

Sacaza says she did not expect to pursue work in Connecticut real estate as an agent – her career

began with aspirations in property investment. On the advice of a friend, she picked up a real

estate job to learn about the business, develop some name recognition, and help others with a

common interest in real estate investment. She worked part time, trying to make a name for

herself – and over two years, that has blossomed into hours upon hours of work each day,

constantly working to improve her work and strengthen her ties with her community.

While her pursuit of a career in real estate investment has been placed on the back burner as she

works as an agent, she has found another investment outlet besides real estate: herself. She has

found mentors, workshops, classes, and other opportunities to further her goals of bettering

herself as an all-around realtor. Sacaza says Steve Votto has been a phenomenal mentor and

leader as she has developed her craft in this industry, helping her grow as a real estate

professional and accelerate her ascent. Sacaza says she tries not to let a single day pass without

feeding her brain – and it’s that constant dedication that has put her on a path to superstardom in

Connecticut real estate and beyond.

As is the case with any up-and-coming agent, Sacaza has discovered a need to read the terrain

and adapt as the market shifts. She says finding inventory has been a thorn in her side, trying to

find the perfect match in each sale for each client. Sacaza calls the buying process both

challenging and heartbreaking – saying she feels that every person with a goal of home

ownership should be able to live in the house they want. Despite setbacks, like being outbid by a

cash buyer or being unable to find a client’s dream home, Sacaza says she tries to maintain a

positive outlook – approaching each potential sale with the same excited attitude to help a dream

come true.

Real estate has become a passion for Sacaza in a way that she may not have initially anticipated.

She calls it a true passion – and has set lofty goals for herself. In the next few years, she sees

herself stepping beyond local real estate to become a top agent in the state – country – and world.

She is bilingual and loves to travel – so turning Elsy Sacaza into a global brand should be light

work.

Best agent in the world? If her trajectory continues like this… it is well within reach.
