Nancy is the Owner and Team Leader of Nancy Chu Homes at Keller Williams NJ Metro Group – Essex County's #1 brokerage office – and has been a real estate professional since 2005. With $560+ million in real estate sold and 1,300+ happy clients served, she is a consistent top producer in Northern NJ, skillful in a wide range of deal-making, from 1-bedroom condos to luxury homes to investment properties. A nine-time NJ REALTORS® Circle of Excellence Platinum honoree and nationally ranked in the top 1% at Keller Williams, her work speaks for itself. While based in Essex County, she is intrepid by nature and has developed a regionally-based business by selling in Essex, Bergen, Union, Morris, and Passaic Counties and beyond — in Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, and Somerset, too.
"My primary goal is to explore the towns of Northern NJ, and to hone my expertise in all these areas. I think that real estate, like the rest of the world, is becoming more global, and so I feel that I must expand my approach — both my world-view and my areas of business."
In addition, as a stage director, her work has been seen at The Public Theatre, Long Wharf Theatre, The Lucille Lortel Foundation, Columbia University, Williamstown Theatre Festival, Second Stage Theatre, and The Culture Project, to name a few. She is a member of several prestigious institutions, such as The Women's Project & Productions and the Lincoln Center Theatre Directors Lab. She continues to direct occasionally with what little spare time she has left, as well as hanging out with her lovely husband, Raf Ricci, also a Realtor, and her son, Declan.
Gaelle Remy is a buyer and listing agent with Nancy Chu Homes at Keller Williams NJ Metro Group and has spent the last six years helping people across Essex, Morris and Passaic Counties buy their first homes. Her work centers on Newark, Rockaway and the Oranges - from the Valley Arts District, Main Street and Park Avenue corridors through Central Orange and Brick Church, East Orange and West Orange. Her market extends into West Milford and Clifton in Passaic County, as well as Lincoln Park and Morristown in Morris County between $300K to $3M in price range.
Gaelle does some of her best work with first-time buyers. For clients who have never done this before, the process can feel like a lot at once — offers, inspections, lenders, deadlines stacked on top of each other. Gaelle's job is to make sure her clients always know what comes next in the biggest financial decision of their lives. Her fluency in English, Haitian Creole and French sets her apart from other Realtors.
She is direct with clients about what a home is worth and what it will take to win it. One client kept getting outbid in a seller's market; once they met Gaelle, she adjusted the client’s expectations, lined up the right listings and got her into the right home for her retirement years. Another said closing day was a breeze because nothing fell through the cracks. She coordinates the inspectors, lenders, attorneys and the paperwork, making the process stress-free and smooth for her clients. This is the standard she holds herself to.
Gaelle is part of the Nancy Chu Homes team with more than 1,300+ transactions and over $560+ million in sales across North Jersey — two decades of pricing data, hard-won negotiation and a full support staff behind every deal. Nancy Chu Homes was named to Morris & Essex Magazine's "Essex Top Real Estate Agents 2026 Elite" list in 2026, FastExpert 2026 Five Star Agent, Circle of Excellence Platinum team for 9 years, featured on Lifetime TV's The Balancing Act, earned recognition as Montclair's Top Real Estate Team 2026 by BusinessRate and Morris & Essex Magazine, ranked #28 on the RealTrends 1000 (America's Best Real Estate Professionals) and has been cited in the NY Times.
She got into real estate to help people build generational wealth and reach goals they weren't sure was possible. For many of her clients, a home is exactly that — the first real step toward long-term stability.
