When people ask how IVerty Realty came to be, I often smile before I answer because it’s more than just a business. It’s a legacy.

The name IVerty comes from Ismela Verty, my grandmother. She was the rock of our family, the kind of woman who gave generously, who offered wisdom without ever needing to raise her voice, and who modeled the values I now hold in my life and work: integrity, resilience, and compassion.

IVerty Realty was born from that foundation. After over a decade in the real estate world representing buyers, sellers, and investors across Massachusetts and Connecticut, I knew it was time to create something of my own. But not just any brokerage. I wanted to build a place rooted in service, honesty, and relationships. A company where clients felt seen, heard, and genuinely supported. A business that would reflect the heart and grit of the woman who raised me.

This is IVerty. Built on love, led with purpose, and here to serve.
