Iris Zaff

Iris, a native Newporter, has extensive knowledge of Newport’s real estate market, including Middletown, Portsmouth, Tiverton, and Jamestown. Her experience covers everything from representing first-time homebuyers to buying and selling single-family and multi-family homes, investment property, and commercial property. Having lived in several other states, she is sensitive to the challenges of being in a new area and she will use her experience to help you deal with the stress of relocation.

Iris began her real estate career in 1987 after selling “Au Natural,” the first health food store on Aquidneck Island. She was one of the founders and original members of the Downtown Business Association in Newport. That experience gives her the insight into business and the local business community needed to help you make the right real estate decisions.

Iris's son Adam and his lovely wife Tiana are successfully living and working in Ad Tech in Marina Del Rey, California; stepson Greg Zaff, the founder of Squashbusters, an inner-city squash program, lives in Cambridge; and stepdaughter Erika Hession and her family reside in Needham, Massachusetts.

Whether you are buying or selling, Iris’s in-depth local knowledge, business expertise, and sensitivity to the family issues involved in relocation give her the ability to help you navigate the real estate process comfortably and with confidence.
