Chris Mentley, Central Connecticut Real Estate Agent
Updated September 2026
Chris Mentley is a licensed Connecticut real estate agent with New Haus Group in New Britain, CT (license RES.0824776). He works with real estate investors, veterans, first responders, and home buyers and sellers across Central Connecticut, including Cromwell, Rocky Hill, Berlin, Newington, Wethersfield, West Hartford, Farmington, and Avon. Chris has 4 years in real estate and 23 years in IT, and he has owned and managed his own rental and Airbnb properties.
Who is Chris Mentley?
I'm a real estate agent who runs the numbers first. I've been licensed for 4 years, and I spent 23 years in IT before and alongside that, so spreadsheets don't scare me.
I've also been a landlord and run my own Airbnb rentals. I know what owning property looks like after the closing, not just on closing day.
I'm also licensed in Massachusetts and Florida, which helps when a move crosses state lines.
Buy right. Sell right. Build wealth. That's the whole approach.
Why do real estate investors work with Chris?
Because I've been on your side of the table. I've dealt with tenants, turnovers, and short-term rentals myself, and I've helped clients buy everything from 2-families up to a 51-unit building in Meriden.
Every property gets underwritten before it goes to a client: purchase price, rehab, rents, taxes, ARV, and what could go wrong. I work on:
- 2 to 4 family up to larger multifamily (how I work with investors)
- Fix and flip
- Off-market deals
- Commercial and land
How does Chris help veterans and first responders?
If you've served, I'll walk you through using your VA benefit the right way. That includes buying a 2 to 4 family, living in one unit, and letting the rent from the others help cover the mortgage (how VA house hacking works). I'm a Military Relocation Professional (MRP), certified by the National Association of REALTORS®.
Police, fire, and EMS (programs for first responders): a steady income and a pension make you a strong buyer, and a strong candidate to own rentals. I'll show you which programs apply and what the numbers actually look like.
I work with buyers and sellers from every background. I just put extra focus on investors, veterans, and first responders.
What areas does Chris serve?
Cromwell, Rocky Hill, Berlin, Newington, Wethersfield, West Hartford, Farmington, and Avon. I've also closed deals in Southington, Cheshire, Meriden, New Britain, Tolland, New Hartford, and West Haven.
How does Chris work with clients?
People before transactions. You won't get treated like a commission check.
You'll get straight answers, including when the answer is "don't buy this one." No pressure, no fluff, and I pick up the phone.
