MEET NICOLE
Nicole was born and raised in San Jose. Before becoming a licensed real estate professional, Nicole was immersed in engineering recruiting and recruiting management at Google and Facebook (2007-2016). She recruited the most highly sought-after engineers and research scientists in the world, in the fields of infrastructure, machine learning, data science and artificial intelligence.
While in the corporate world, Nicole was trained in negotiating salaries and offer terms, closing strategies, and people/process/client management . She utilizes these skills to get her Sellers top dollar for their homes, and to help her Buyers negotiate the best price and terms for their purchases.
Nicole and her husband, Nicholas (who is a general and electrical contractor based out of Fremont), purchased their first home together in Alum Rock, and later moved to Berryessa where they currently reside and raise their four children. Together, they have bought, sold, held and renovated multiple properties. Some projects they have undertaken include:
- designing and installing an entirely new septic system
- designing and building a pool
- designing and building a standalone garage with ADU
- designing and building a pool house
- designing and building multiple pergolas/outdoor living spaces
- completely gutting and rehabbing kitchens and bathrooms
- adding on bathrooms
- building retaining walls and driveways, including installing automatic gates
- installing a basketball court
- landscaping entire yards, including fencing, sod, planting plans
- installing whole house generators and whole house fans
- rewiring whole houses
- repainting whole houses, including removing popcorn ceilings
- refinishing hardwood floors, LVP floors and carpet
- installing new roofs
- ...in addition to property management!
Very few agents can claim this level of first-hand, personal experience with real estate. These projects have given Nicole a keen sense to what rehab endeavors cost, and what features add value to a property. Her past experiences have also allowed her to network and build out a list of trusted contractors and subcontractors that she utilizes in her real estate transactions.
Nicole considers herself an expert in the San Jose market. She would love to be your go-to agent, and promises to give you a boutique-brokerage, high-touch experience where you are informed at every step of the process and where YOU come out the WINNER - whether you're selling or buying a home.
