Nicole Ball Realtor

As a real estate broker I delight in helping people realize major life goals that shape their experiences and affect their long term futures. I am proud to do work which is both meaningful and practical. My goal is to make homeownership a reality for as many people as possible.
I have always been a “people person” and this sets the foundation for a successful business relationship. I am a great listener and I speak clearly and deliberately. Whether I am consulting with a new client or negotiating through a complex transaction, my ability to perceive, interpret, and communicate effectively and constructively is my greatest asset.
My roots in the hospitality industry instilled in me a passion for providing a first class service experience. Here’s how I deliver this:
1) I’m an expert real estate consultant dedicated to continual professional development.
2) I provide personalized service because every client is an individual.
3) I utilize business systems like leading technology, marketing and support solutions, so that I can keep focused on my job of selling your property to the right buyer for the best price.
Outside of work I enjoy music and art, practicing qigong and topics relating to psychology and philosophy.
