Monica Schwerberg

I’ve called the Hudson Valley home for most of my life, and over the years I’ve built not just a deep knowledge of the area, but a real appreciation for the people and properties that make it so special. 

I’ve been a real estate agent for over six years and was the first to join the Upstate Curious Team when it launched in 2019. I had the rare opportunity to be mentored by our founder (now CEO), Megan, and have grown alongside the team as we’ve evolved into one of the region’s top-producing collectives. In addition to building my own business, I’ve helped train and mentor many of our agents—an experience that’s sharpened my problem-solving skills, broadened my perspective, and given me a front-row seat to the complexity (and joy) of real estate across all price points and property types.

My background in high-end fashion and furniture sales taught me a lot about design, value, and client service—and how to connect with people in a way that’s both honest and effective. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a long-held property, or exploring the idea of life upstate, I’m here to guide you with clarity, creativity, and zero pressure.

I’m known for being calm under pressure, creatively resourceful, and fully committed to my clients. I bring hustle with patience, data with intuition, and honesty with a touch of humor—because real estate doesn’t need to be overwhelming (and it definitely doesn’t need to be boring).

Wherever you are in your process—ready, hesitant, curious—I’ll meet you there and help you move forward with confidence.
