Mark Stehli
REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® -Lead Buyer's Agent

Mark Stehli

As a native New Yorker, and a dedicated real estate professional, I value the trust my clients place in me and I strive every day to exceed their expectations. As a licensed agent in Hudson County, I focus primarily on Hoboken and Jersey City and am a member of Keller Williams City Life. Through hard work and the harnessing of technology, Keller Williams has garnered the number one position by market share in Hudson County. My expertise is founded in my dedication to Hoboken and Jersey City as a wonderful place to live. As a father of 3 and a long time Hoboken resident, I provide my clients with all the tools they need to navigate this complicated market. Prior to real estate, I spent 18 years in the high intensity world of stock trading during the evolution of what is now known as “high frequency trading”. It was in these roles that I developed the ability to identify all the resources necessary to operate most effectively. Within the community, I take pride in giving back in a myriad of ways. I am on the board of the professional theater in Hoboken, Mile Square Theatre. I am involved with a farm to door mission driven business that supports regenerative farmers, Bone In Food. I am also a founder of a yoga and mindfulness non profit, Hudsonseed Foundation. When I am not in the office, I can be found racing J24 sailboats in the Hudson River or climbing on a chairlift to the top of Hunter Mountain.

Kate DeCock
Marketing Coordinator

Kate DeCock

When Kate and her husband moved to Hoboken in 2007, they expected the move to be a short term layover before a permanent move to the suburbs. Yet with each passing year, their roots grew deeper and deeper and they found they couldn’t leave this unique, vibrant community. In 2010, Elizabeth Rakela helped Kate and her family find their Hoboken home and Kate is thrilled to be a part of the team that does the same for others in this town she loves so much. A graduate from Cornell University with a B.S. in Economics, Kate spent 14 years with Accenture Consulting where she worked as a Consultant for 10 years before moving into an Operations Role with the North American Sales Organization. Kate teaches at Powerflow Yoga (if you’re looking for some zen!), and serves as an Executive Board member of the Hoboken Public Education Foundation. Kate is excited to bring her Operations experience to the Elizabeth Rakela Team and help others find their forever home, just as Elizabeth did for her and her family.

The Rakela Team is a proud Supporter of these local charities
