Chris Monzillo

Pursuing a career in Real Estate, I joined RE/MAX Centre Realty, a trusted pro in the industry. As a proud graduate of Penn State University, I settled into Happy Valley to raise my family while owning a popular retail store for over two decades. As a successful entrepreneur, I learned how to be patient, detail-oriented, and proactive. I have witnessed the tremendous change and growth that's transformed the area into one of Pennsylvania's most sought-after locations and recognize the numerous intangible benefits of life here with its beautiful scenery, culture, and diversity. My contacts and fondness for the area leverage my pride and enthusiasm, enhancing my dedication, resulting in satisfied clients and referrals.


I understand that buying and selling real estate can be stressful. As your Realtor®, I will be an advocate for you. Whether you are buying or selling, I will work tirelessly to promote your best interests. If you are selling, I will work to get you the best price, in the least amount of time, by using state-of-the-art technology, team collaboration, and RE/MAX's superior marketing materials. If you are buying, I will work diligently to provide you with current market data to inform and assist you so you can be a well-equipped buyer with the strongest possible negotiating position. I work hard to make your experience as pleasurable as possible. I will accomplish this through frequent communication and by being accessible whenever you need me.


If you are planning on buying or selling in the area, contact me, Chris Monzillo, your local neighborhood expert for personalized customer care and results!

Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, my family and I returned to the State College area in 2019. We love being part of this vibrant community and enjoy the many activities it offers.


With three children active in sports and two dogs keeping us on our toes, I understand the importance of finding the perfect home for every stage of life. As a family, we enjoy trips to the Penn State Berkey Creamery for ice cream and spending our summers playing outside. My husband, a proud Navy Veteran, and I have firsthand experience with the VA loan process. We also recently built our forever home, giving me unique insight into the construction and financing journey.
