Nicole’s favorite part of her job is visiting homes prior to listing them, and preparing them for photos. Some of her other duties include handling both paperwork and online information for listing clients, as well as communicating feedback to sellers.
When she’s not flexing her organizational muscles, Nicole loves reading and spending time with her nephew and nieces. Nicole is funny, empathetic and cautious, and firmly believes that everything happens for a reason, even when she doesn’t have the privilege of knowing what that reason is.
