Talk through itAbout Nicholas
I have worked in real estate since 2016 and am licensed in both Arizona and California. I help people make sense of the process, understand their options and move forward at a pace that feels right.
My education includes a bachelor’s degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Northern Arizona University, a master’s degree in Human Rights from John Jay College, and a doctorate in Global Leadership & Change at Pepperdine University. That background shapes a clear, careful and people-centered approach to real estate.
Outside of work, I enjoy trying new coffee shops, fitness—especially calisthenics—and, honestly, learning more about real estate. Whether you are buying, selling, renting or simply exploring, I can help organize the details and create a practical next-step plan.
Ready when you are
Email is the best way to reach me. Tell me a little about the place, timing or question on your mind, and I’ll help you identify a useful next step.
