About Angela Porrelli

I’ve always had a desire to help people.  Growing up, I’ve been the friend people confide in. I love one on one connection versus being the center of attention in a room.

I married young and my kids followed shortly.  We chose for me to stay home with the kids in the beginning.   I loved my time with them!  When they started school full time, I knew I needed to find something for myself.  At the same time, I wasn’t ready to give up the ability to be home before and after school or for activities. 

I began looking for a career that could accommodate some flexibility.  I knew I didn't want to be stuck at a desk or computer all day or punching a clock. It needed to be interactive and allow for connections with people. 

I was struggling to find a balance between the lifestyle I had known and my desire to find my own path.  I believed there had to be a way to do both.  I wanted to set an example for my kids of being independent.

Approximately one1 year previous, we’ had been looking to move out of our condo and into a house of our own.  We wanted a neighborhood that could grow with us.  It needed to be walking distance to elementary and high schools for the kids to choose from.  

After stopping in at an open house one day, we noticed a for sale by owner across the street.  It seemed perfect. We made an offer with the owner and moved forward.

What happened over the next few months was nothing short of a nightmare.  We experienced the extreme end of a terrible private buying experience. 

Many issues with the house were not disclosed.  What should’ve been a fun new chapter in our lives became a nightmare to work through. 

When the idea of getting my real estate license first came up, I talked about it with my husband as I knew he had to be on board.  After all, I’d been staying at home with the kids for years.  We’d have to pay for my courses and all costs related to the business until I could actually start to turn a profit.  It was scary to think that we’d would have to put out thousands of dollars.  The responsibility would lie on me to make this work. 

That aside, I wanted to help people avoid the scenario that we’d lived through.  Plus, it checked my other boxes.  I could set my own schedule and still be there for my kids.  I could take it slow to begin with and work to increase my business as they grew and became independent. 

With the support of my husband, I made the leap.  I ordered my real estate books and have never looked back.  

Buying or selling a home is so much more than the basics of the transaction.  There is always a deeper reason.   A need or desire to adjust and move life forward in a manner that is beneficial to where the client wants to be. 

Learning my clients' bigger picture allows me to support their goal.  I value the trust they place in me and I work hard to help make their transaction a positive experience.
