Neil Porter

He enjoys the entire process of tracking the correct apartment for a client; he completed 52 transactions in his first year in the business. In addition, he finds joy in the minor aspects of real estate. For example, he enjoys the physicality of walking around a neighborhood, peeking into nooks, cabinets, and corners, and climbing up onto rooftops. The detective works by swapping jokes, tips, and stories with his loyal customers, supers, concierges, fellow agents. Other days consist of sharing information about new apartments coming to market. And, of course, connecting with clients and identifying the puzzle pieces of their different preferences. As well as the client’s concerns to complete a clear picture of the place they will one day happily call home.

As a longtime resident of West Harlem with relatives and close friends living on the Upper West Side, he has a native familiarity with these neighborhoods and Hell’s Kitchen and Midtown West. He ran his publishing business for several years before entering the real estate profession.

Neil, an avid distance swimmer originally from Venice, California, co-founded and directed the Hispanic-tilted publishing house Parlante Inc. The publishing house produced the monthly bilingual lifestyles supplement “VIVA New York” for the NY Daily News. As well as “Médico de Familia,” Spanish-language health monthly. The publications are written by doctors in Spanish and distributed in waiting rooms nationwide.

A graduate with honors from the University of Pennsylvania, Neil is a member in good standing of the Real Estate Board of New York. Contact Neil today, and let him be your guide in searching for your new home!
