In his leisure time, Nick enjoys spending time with his family, playing golf, traveling, and collecting bourbon, which he loves sampling in a local speakeasy.

How did you get into real estate?

When I was 10 years old, my parents listed their house. A couple had driven by with their agent and I convinced them why they should buy my parents’ house, while I was home alone - things were different in the early 90's. According to my parents' agent, the late Glenn Race who got me started in real estate, the couples’ agent said I convinced them they should write it up and they did.

As an adult, I jumped into real estate after the army.

Is there anything else you’d like to share about yourself or your business?

After 17 years I have realized too many agents and too many people make this great profession too stressful. I like to think I can remove that stress.
