EP 06 - Nikki Nichole, Minorities in Real Estate Minorities are often underrepresented in the real estate industry which is not something all of us are always thinking about, but indeed things are different for members of minority groups. Most of the time the things we are exposed to are not things that we think about, so taking some time to hear from different perspectives can only serve to improve our worldview. What You’ll Learn One of the biggest battles Nikki faces being a minority in the real estate industry How Nikki was able to break into the luxury home market but also why she continues to serve all levels of the market Why mindset is everything in real estate no matter your race or sexual preference The effect it had on Nikki surrounding herself with the agents she wanted to be like What Nikki really loves about being with Epique Realty and made her happy she joined Why Nikki feels like she needs to constantly remind herself why she is a minority in the real estate industry and what that reason is Why you need to adapt an attitude that someone else’s win is not your loss Why sometimes realtors tend to over complicate things so it can be helpful to go back to the basics Favorite Quote “Mindset is everything in real estate because whether you are a black American, a minority American, or a white American, when you first go into real estate, it is the most isolating feeling there is. You literally feel like you are just a fish in a huge pond all by yourself.” -Nikki Nichole Connect With Nikki Nikki Nichole: Your Lifestyle Realtor in Oklahoma Meet Nikki Nichole, an Oklahoma native with deep roots in the Oklahoma City area and Tulsa.
