About Nicole

Real estate is more than just a job, it’s my business and I run it with your best outcome in mind.

My journey into the real estate industry has been a bit unconventional, but it’s taught me invaluable skills that have made me the agent I am today.

Graduating with a degree in psychology helped shape my initial approach to business – I learned to understand people, listen deeply and solve complex problems with calmness and strategy

Working in New York City’s high-end hospitality scene where I mastered service, urgency and attention to detail.

Securing a leasing/property management role gave me a strong understanding of contracts, compliance, inspections and fair housing. My next Business Development position at a local brokerage provided me with foundational knowledge of the industry: marketing, lead generation, negotiation and much more.

Once I was ready to fly, I joined one of San Diego's top teams, Whissel Realty, and was quickly awarded Rookie of the Year in my first year. Now I proudly run my business at Palisade Realty, a boutique brokerage where the client always comes first. I’m proud to have become a Top 10% Producer in San Diego closing over 30+ transactions with the belief consumers deserve more — and that starts with full transparency and real service.

What makes me different?

  • I use AI and tech tools to enhance my service, not replace it.

  • I combine digital strategy with hands-on service – online reach meets real-world hustle.

  • I’ve built a trusted network of vendors, stagers, and pros to support every step.

  • I offer concierge-level service at every price point.

  • I don’t rely on middlemen or lead platforms, I focus on real relationships.

  • I stay up to date with market trends, and anticipate future shifts.

  • I apply out of the box solutions and strategies

  • I bring a background in psychology to best understand people and navigate negotiations.

Client Experiences

  • You’re in great hands if you work with Nicole!

    As first time home buyers, I am very pleased we had Nicole as our realtor! She held our hands through the entire process of buying in a fast-paced market. We shopped for several months and Nicole was extremely patient and understanding with us. She was kind, honest and took our wishes and concerns seriously, which was not the easiest being military, VA buyers. She is knowledgeable and savvy in this market and was able to find a home we love that checked all our boxes that wasn’t even on our radar and was able to skillfully negotiate a deal that we were very satisfied with. Aside from her professionalism, Nicole is a realtor that truly cares, it felt like she was buying a house with us! She is committed and she works so hard for her clients’ best interest. You’re in great hands if you work with Nicole!

  • Very down to earth, professional and efficient.

    Nicole is a hustler! She will do whatever it takes, will go above and beyond, to make the deal happen. She helped us purchase the home in 2020 and then sell in 2022 when the market wasn’t so great and we were under a pressing timeline. Can’t thank her enough for making it happen. Very down to earth, professional and efficient. Highly recommend !!
