Working with true professionals has made such a beneficial impact on my business, my income & happiness. Novella has been a perfect fit for me since Day 1. With resources I actually use, impressive knowledge base, industry connections, & surrounded by other full-time professional agents, it's the environment I was looking for when I started my real estate business. "You are who you surround yourself with: and this is where I want to be."

Novella is a great place to work. Everyone here is committed to your success & always happy to help. Anytime I need assistance my Managing Broker/Broker Owner is always around whether it be at the office or answering his phone. I couldn't image hanging my license at any other brokerage.

Joining Novella has been one of the best decisions of my career. The broker support is outstanding-knowledgeable, responsive, & genuinely invested in every agent's success. The transaction support team makes each deal seamless, allowing me to focus on serving my clients while knowing every detail is handled with care. What truly sets Novella apart, thought, is the camaraderie among the agents. It's a collaborative, encouraging environment where we celebrate each other's wins and share insights freely. Novella isn't just a brokerage-it's a community that empowers growth, excellence & authentic connections.

I chose Novella because of the people. They are people that share my core values: honesty, integrity, excellence & dedication to treating people well. Like me, they recognize that every home purchase or sale isn't just a transaction. It's a defining moment in a person's life. These aren't just houses; they are people's homes. Our clients are entrusting us with a sacred duty to help them leave a cherished home or find a new home to cherish. I am honored to have that opportunity & be able to do it with like-minded people at Novella Real Estate.

I've been with Novella, formerly The Berkshire Group, since 2019. I joined relatively quickly after completing real estate school & passing the state exam on the first try. Larry took me under his wing for a time & taught me how to be successful by balancing traditional methods with leveraging technology. I incorporated what Larry taught into how I run my business. It's all I know, & it's been very successful. It has been a blessing to my family & me, & I owe that initial foundation to Larry and the staff at Novella.

Since 2022 I've had the privilege of working at Novella-a boutique brokerage that truly stands out. The collaborative spirit among agents, unwavering support from our managing broker Larry and the exceptional services provided create an environment where both agents & clients thrive. Novella offers the perfect balance of professionalism, innovation, & community, making it an ideal place to grow and succeed in real estate.

The Average Agent and the Novella
Agent Are Not the Same

This business is crowded.
Competence is not.
Nearly 70% of agents sold one home or fewer last year.

At Novella, our agents operate at a completely different level because standards matter, systems matter, and leadership matters.

What We Believe

At Novella, standards are not a backdrop, they are the foundation. We are driven by preparation, clarity, discipline, and trust. We believe strong outcomes are built long before a decision is made, and that long-term reputation matters more than short-term volume. Because when our people operate at a higher level, everyone they serve benefits.

Preparation Before Promotion

Strong outcomes begin long before a property reaches the market, through strategy, positioning, and deliberate preparation.

Negotiation Is a Discipline

Price is only one part of the equation; skilled negotiation requires preparation, leverage, timing, and judgment.

Relationships Over Lead Generation

We do not buy third-party leads; our business is built on trust, repeat clients, and long-term referrals.

Leadership That Actually Leads

Support should be more than availability; strong leadership means real guidance, accountability, and experience when it matters most.

The Infrastructure Behind Great Work

Behind every strong advisor is strong operational support.

At Novella, we provide the structure that protects your time, sharpens your work, and helps you operate at a higher level.

Real broker accessibility
Transaction management + compliance review
Brand credibility that creates trust
Marketing built for authority, not vanity
Leadership that actually leads
Collaboration with serious professionals

The Right Fit Matters

Not everyone wants this level of accountability. That is okay. But if you are serious about your work, your reputation, and the long-term value of your business, this may be the right place.

You will likely thrive here if you are:

Full-time
Process-driven
Reputation-focused
Naturally consultative
Competitive with yourself
Looking for mastery, not shortcuts

Some Conversations Are Worth Having

No recruiting pitch. No presentation. Just a real conversation about where your business is headed.
