Paula Nelson

Personal
My innate ability to connect with people is my superpower. My deep curiosity about culture and community blends seamlessly into my role as a real estate agent. I am passionate about forging genuine relationships and uniting individuals with their ideal communities through the world of real estate.

As a Portuguese immigrant, my upbringing in Naugatuck, CT's tight-knit Portuguese community taught me the value of community and belonging. It has deeply influenced my perspective on real estate and the importance of neighborhoods and shared identities.

I've called Burlington, CT home since 2013. My family and I have built cherished memories in the Farmington Valley. My two sons have grown up here, enjoying the warmth of the community and the endless open space. Alongside my husband, I've found happiness in our beautiful Burlington neighborhood. Our family includes two playful Havanese dogs, Fidel and Pearl, who love exploring the local trails and parks with us.

Let's embark on this exciting real estate journey together. I look forward to leveraging my skills, experiences, and passion to help you find not just a property but a place where you can truly thrive and belong. Get in touch with me, and let's turn your real estate dreams into a reality!

Experience
Before venturing into real estate, I dedicated 26 years of my professional life to the Connecticut Judicial Branch. During this time, I was unwavering in my commitment to assisting individuals in our communities, connecting them with resources to improve their lives and long-term outcomes. I began my career as an Adult Probation Officer and steadily progressed to become a regional manager, overseeing five state offices, including two of the largest probation offices in the state - Bridgeport and Waterbury. I managed a team of over 150 employees and achieved remarkable success in reducing recidivism among the populations we served. My leadership role allowed me to mentor and develop staff, fostering best practices in behavior change.
As a seasoned realtor, I bring a unique blend of personal and professional experiences to the table to help you find not just a property but a place to call home. To me, real estate isn't just about transactions; it's about building genuine connections and fostering transparency in every interaction. I'm committed to learning about your values and long-term objectives, ensuring that your real estate journey is tailored to your unique needs.
