About Nova Tower

Nova is known for her data-driven strategic approach, and her intimate technical understanding of home performance, renovation, and design. With nearly a decade of brokerage experience, and a longer history working in education and advisory services across multiple industries, Nova brings a sharp analytical mind and a deep well of market insight to every transaction. She also brings steady guidance, humor, and integrity. Because a successful transaction is not all about the math. It's about the human experience of buying and selling a home or investment. 

You will never be guessing when you work with Nova. You will always feel empowered to make the best choice for your real estate goals, and you may even have some fun doing it. Her expertise spans residential listings and purchases including single family homes and condos, multi-family investment properties, and sustainable homeownership strategies.

Originally from New York City, Nova is a graduate from The Hotchkiss School and the University of Pennsylvania. She is also a Maine Center for Entrepreneurs Top Gun graduate and formerly a US Coast Guard licensed 100 Ton Master and Able Seaman. Before relocating to Maine in 2009, Nova taught open ocean sailing and navigation to students aged 12 to 22. It was sailing that brought Nova to Portland Maine, where she fell in love with the coast, the community, and the quality of life.

Beyond her work in real estate, Nova is a passionate advocate for climate and community. She serves on the Board of Directors of two major statewide non profits - Maine Coast Heritage Trust and ClimateWork Maine. She is a GREEN-designated broker, and a participating member of 1% for the Planet. She’s also a frequent public speaker on various real estate topics, a former podcast host, and former Bereavement Group Facilitator at the Center for Grieving Children. 

Nova lives in Portland with her husband, their two kids, and Baloo—their enthusiastic doodle. Outside the office, you’ll likely find her on a trail, a ski mountain, the ocean, a bike, a crag—or just as happily, indulging her inner New Yorker downtown catching a show and ordering too many appetizers.
