About Novella

With over 20 years of experience in real estate, I’m committed to delivering Expert Advice and Exceptional Service to every client I work with. My mission is simple: to put people first. Whether buying or selling, I aim to make the process seamless, ensuring my clients feel confident, informed, and cared for every step of the way. My legal background as a paralegal has equipped me with invaluable expertise in property research, contracts, and navigating complex transactions like estate, probate, and divorce real estate. Additionally, my experience in mental health advocacy—teaching recovery programs and wellness workshops—has deepened my empathy and honed my communication skills, allowing me to guide clients through even the most challenging situations with compassion and clarity. As someone with deep roots in Cherokee and Spartanburg counties, I love the Upstate for its warm, welcoming people and natural beauty. My passions include gardening (I’m a Master Gardener and Food Preserver), southern cooking, and my faith and family including my Boston Terrier, Atticus, who’s always by my side. I’m also deeply committed to supporting families navigating autism and special needs, ensuring their housing needs are met with understanding and care. Whether you’re looking for your next home or selling a cherished property, I’m here to ensure your experience is as exceptional as the place you’ll call home.
