Colonial Manor Realty

Colonial Manor Realty is an independent real estate firm in Reading, founded in 1989 by Bobbie Botticelli and Rick Nazzaro. It handles home sales in Reading, North Reading and the surrounding area, and it reports leading the Eastern Middlesex Association of Realtors region in sales volume. The office is staffed by full-time, experienced agents backed by a full-time support team, and it is known for detailed marketing and representation of its listings.

One of the co-owners grew up in Reading, attending Joshua Eaton Elementary and Reading Memorial High School before earning a marketing degree from the University of Lowell. That co-owner became a Realtor in 1986 and opened the firm with a business partner three years later at age 27. The firm values repeat relationships, often working with first-time buyers who later return to sell and move up, and with retirees downsizing to the city or the coast.
