About Us
About Fidelity Trust Realty
An independent New York real estate brokerage built on one simple promise: your interests come first.
Our Story
Over 40 Years in New York Real Estate
Fidelity Trust Realty was founded on January 1, 2001 in the heart of Northern Manhattan. The firm is led by Joseph F. Porto, an independent New York State licensed real estate broker and developer who has worked in New York real estate for more than four decades.
Over the years we have helped owners, buyers and investors with townhouses, brownstones, multifamily buildings and single family homes. Today we serve clients from New York City out to the waterfront communities of Broad Channel, Belle Harbor and Atlantic Beach, as well as Garden City and Bay Ridge.
Our name says what we stand for. Fidelity means we stay loyal to your goals. Trust means you always know where your deal stands and why.

Why It Matters
Coastal Homes Need a Broker Who Knows the Water
Much of the area we serve sits in New York’s coastal zone. That brings real questions that a typical sale never touches: Which FEMA flood zone is the house in? Is there an elevation certificate? Who maintains the bulkhead, and is it permitted? What will flood insurance cost after closing?
We raise these questions early so there are no surprises at the closing table. Sellers get a listing that answers buyer concerns up front. Buyers get the facts they need to make a confident offer. Read more on our buyer and seller pages.
