Sean Fitzgerald

Sean is a life-long Rockaway resident, knows the peninsula and wants nothing more than to see it prosper. Sean graduated from Niagara University (Vincentian Tradition) in 1998 with a major in Marketing and a minor in Fine Arts. Shortly after graduation, he moved to Boston, where he began his career as a Financial Advisor with Morgan Stanley. It was there that he deepened his expertise in economics and finance, developing the analytical skills and market insight that would later define his professional path. He eventually returned to New York City, where he took on a role as a trader on the New York Mercantile Exchange and with Carlin Financial, further sharpening his understanding of financial markets and high-stakes decision-making.

In 2004, Sean founded Coastal Real Estate, turning his passion for sales, negotiation, and client service into a thriving full-service real estate brokerage. Over the past two decades, Coastal Real Estate has successfully facilitated transactions across the New York metropolitan area, ranging from studio apartments in Manhattan to large 35-acre development sites in Suffolk County. Known for his hands-on approach, Sean has built a reputation not only for closing deals but also for becoming a trusted advisor who connects clients with a carefully vetted network of professionals — from electricians, painters, and contractors to attorneys and mortgage brokers — ensuring a seamless experience on both the buying and selling sides.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Sean remains deeply committed to his community and family. He has served on the boards of the Rockaway Park and Belle Harbor Homeowners’ Associations and currently sits on the St. Francis de Sales Parish Council. An active member of the Knights of Columbus (Rockaway Council), the FDNY Emerald Society, and the Holy Name Society, he continues to give back through service and leadership. Sean also stays closely involved in the community as a dedicated soccer and lacrosse coach, balancing a successful career with the values of family, faith, and community that have always guided him.
