PRESIDENT / PRINCIPAL BROKER
Experience you can trust. Results you can feel confident in.
Originally licensed in 1995, Nick Schiaffino brings more than 30 years of real estate experience and a long track record of overseeing tens of thousands of successful transactions to coastal Delaware and Maryland. As a full time year-round resident of Ocean View, he understands the nuances of this market and the expectations of the people who buy and sell homes here.
Before founding Harbor Living Realty, Nick spent over 20 years building one of the Mid-Atlantic’s most successful independent brokerages. That experience shaped his belief that real estate works best when it is principled, well-organized, and guided by common sense. Harbor Living is the result, a boutique coastal brokerage designed to deliver full-service, high-impact representation with modern, fair, and efficiency-driven pricing.
Nick’s approach is consistent, strategic, and grounded in real-world judgment. Sellers value his pricing insight, preparation, and negotiation experience. Buyers appreciate his clarity, responsiveness, and ability to guide transactions smoothly from first showing to closing. In every case, clients benefit from working with someone who has truly seen every possible scenario a real estate transaction can present.
Whether you are selling your coastal property or navigating a competitive purchase, working with Nick and Harbor Living Realty means working with a seasoned professional who brings experience, systems, and local knowledge to every decision, always with the goal of protecting your interests and making the process clear, steady, and successful.

Why Sellers ❤️ Us!

Traditional real estate commissions don’t make sense anymore.
Honestly, they never really have.
For example, a home priced at $450,000 and a home priced at $900,000 require nearly the same marketing and workload for the real estate brokerage, yet they continue to charge sellers the exact same commission percentage rate for both homes.
But not at Harbor Living Realty...
Instead of charging every seller the same percentage, we use a sliding commission structure that adjusts based solely on your home’s value.
As the price of your home increases, our commission rate decreases which means the more your home is worth, the more you save.
Even moderately priced homes are charged a fair, balanced rate.
Every seller benefits from transparent pricing and full service representation.
The Harbor Living Realty model adjusts intelligently and fairly so the commission you pay is tied solely to the actual value of your home, not some rigid percentage model designed decades ago.
The result? Same quality. Same exposure. Same negotiation power. You save thousands of your hard earned equity at closing.
