Nicole "Nikki" Leonard – Southern California Real Estate Agent for Young Professionals and First-Time Buyers Hi, I’m Nikki Leonard, a South Bay native, proud big sister, and working professional turned real estate agent, passionate about helping others build their future through homeownership. I grew up in Torrance, CA, in a close- knit family where weekend open houses with my mom became a beloved tradition. We’d imagine knocking down walls, picking colors, and turning houses into homes. That’s where my dream of becoming a real estate agent was born — and now, after more than a decade of building my professional career, I’m proud to make it a reality. For the last 12 years, I’ve worked in corporate leadership, rising from a college intern in the transportation industry to Director at just 28 — the youngest in my company’s history, and one of the few women to reach that level. I currently work in Irvine at a boutique consulting firm, helping clients manage and optimize their general and administrative expenses. That background taught me the value of strategic planning, clear communication, and delivering exceptional service — all of which I now bring to my work in real estate.As a licensed Southern California real estate agent, I specialize in guiding first-time buyers and young professionals through one of the biggest (and most exciting) decisions of their lives. Whether you're relocating for work, looking for your first home in Southern California or just curious about what’s possible — I’m here to help you feel empowered and informed at every step. For me, real estate isn’t just about property — it’s about creating moments and memories that last. Let’s make your homeownership dream a reality, together.
