Nora Ariffin has enjoyed great success since entering real estate in 2004, not just because she's done exceptionally well building her business; but because she's also forged strong client relationships that continue to endure.
Nora's fast track in residential sales began early on. Nominated Rookie of the Year after her first year in the business, she went on to quickly become a Halstead Vice President, and earn membership in the firm's prestigious Producer's Council, and Gold and Platinum Circles. Yet Nora's biggest reward has been the many accolades, as well as referrals and repeat business she's received from satisfied clients.
A Manhattan resident for nearly 20 years, Nora enjoys using her energy, talent and focus to help navigate buyers and sellers through the intricate NYC real estate process. Her market knowledge and hands-on approach instills confidence and awareness throughout each step in a transaction so the best decisions can be made. Nora's effectiveness working with people and understanding their needs – the cornerstone in any successful client relationship – was cultivated while working with fashion photographers and directors, and interacting with people of diverse cultural backgrounds during her illustrious modeling career.
Born and raised in Singapore, Nora left home at age 16 for the runways of Paris, France, where she achieved international fame as the first Asian model to represent 'ALLURE' for Chanel Perfume. Soon Seventh Avenue took notice, and Nora ultimately relocated to Manhattan. There, she earned recognition as the face of L'Oreal Feria Hair worldwide, plus appeared three stories high on a Times Square billboard. While modeling, she also completed a professional actor training program in New York, resulting in her appearance in many national commercials plus the starting role in two feature films, one of which gained international success.
Fluent in English, French and Malay, Nora has lived abroad in Europe and South Africa, as well as San Francisco. She brings a worldly perspective to her work, as she does a local knowledge of the city she loves so dear. Whether you are seeking or selling a home in Manhattan or Brooklyn, Nora will provide the expert guidance and quality service you truly deserve.
