About Nora Porcelli

Professional Specialty

I'm not a cookie-cutter realtor with a rehearsed sales pitch. Before real estate, I spent 17+ years in residential property management, giving me real-world experience in housing, negotiations, problem solving, and people -- not just transactions.

17+ years in residential property management

Specialized in luxury apartments, lease-ups & new construction

Straightforward communication with zero pressure or fluff

Passionate about helping clients find the right fit, not just any house

Experience

I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients, including high-end renters, luxury property owners, and even local celebrities. My background includes managing lease-ups, new construction communities, and upscale apartment homes, all while delivering exceptional service and attention to detail. This experience has given me a strong foundation in market trends, negotiation, and client care, skills I now bring to every real estate transaction.

Personal

Real estate has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My grandfather owned a brokerage, my mom built her career in the industry, and somewhere along the way, I realized I inherited the same love for homes, people, and the chaos that comes with both.

Mom of four + two very spoiled dogs

Engaged to Justin - my biggest supporter and partner through the chaos of life & business

Active in local sports, volunteering & community involvement

Usually juggling kids; sports schedules, DIY projects & real estate at the same time

Huge Pittsburgh Steelers & UConn fan -- game days are serious in our house

Straightforward, hardworking, sarcastic, and about as far from "cookie-cutter realtor" as it gets

Running on iced coffee and pure determination most days

Community Involvement

Community matters to me, not just because I sell homes here, but because this is where my life happens. You'll usually find me at a football field, basketball court, baseball diamond, or school event keeping up with the chaos of kids sports and community involvement. Staying active locally keeps me connected to the people, families, and neighborhoods that make these towns feel like home.
