ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida Realtors® recognized Nicole Porro, a member of the Naples Area Board of Realtors (NABOR), as its Newcomer of the Year for 2024. The award was presented at the state association’s recent annual Convention & Trade Expo at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Fla.
The Newcomer Award recognizes someone who entered the Realtor profession within the past three years, and, during that time, made notable contributions to the local and state associations, as well as to his or her community.
Since she joined NABOR in 2021, Porro has sought out involvement and growth within her local association. She has invested in her profession through the Realtors Political Action Committee (RPAC). Porro has served on her local board’s Magazine Committee, Global Business Committee and Young Professionals Network (YPN) Committee, acting as one of YPN’s Education Ambassadors for NABOR.

She earned her Certified International Property Specialists or “CIPS” designation last year and is working on her Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI) designation.
A graduate of NABOR’s Leadership Academy in 2022, Porro completed a community service project for a local charity, Project HELP, as part of her leadership training.
