“Nick is as if Mr. Rogers was a Marine.” – John Fitzwater, Weichert Ford Brothers  
Hello there – I’m Nick! I feel that it’s important to get to know the person you’re working with, so here’s a little about me. To start, you should know the nicknames (no pun intended) that have been given to me by my clients and referral partners. I am honored that they have given me the names “Saint Nick,” "Nick the Night Owl," and “Nick the Quick;” and, in time, I hope to add to that list.  

I am originally from Southern California, where I lived until the great recession, when the job market became increasingly more challenging. There, I witnessed the mortgage industry collapse firsthand while working at a large mortgage processing center which shut down overnight. I take that experience as a reminder of not only how far we’ve come as an industry, but also to strive to protect the best interests of my clients. Ultimately, I decided that $500,000 starter homes and $5-per-gallon gas wasn’t for me, and it was time for me to see the world. That’s when I joined the Marines in 2006, an experience that has shaped much of who I am today. I’ve been fortunate enough to have experienced and lived in various parts of the United States – and the world – but happily settled on central Kentucky to plant my roots and call home in 2013.
 

Dainel Boone once said, “Heaven must be a Kentucky type of place.” The natural beauty of our state, combined with the diverse opportunities, make for a community that I’m proud to be a part of. I’m fortunate to have started a family in Lexington and to have my children grow in a safe and fun community. On weekend nights, you can usually find us at a local restaurant. With so many great options in Lexington, we enjoy trying them all. Goodfellas Pizzeria is a family favorite.  

My passion is to help clients from all walks of life. I strive to be curious and learn about each client’s background, career, and goals. Doing so has even made me a better Loan Officer.  I decided to become a Loan Officer because I had a subpar experience in purchasing my first home – and I felt that the process could be much better. I’m so very grateful for the clients I’ve had the opportunity to help over the years.

I also strive to make sure my clients stay informed of the industry so they can continue to make educated decisions. That’s why I launched my podcast, “Lex Talk Real Estate,” where I discuss the real estate market with industry leaders. Feel free to give it a listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere else you get your podcasts.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I would love to meet you and learn about your story as well. Contact me today and let me know how I can help you begin your journey into homeownership.
