Nik graduated from Paul M. Hodgson Vocational Technical High School where he chose to study Technical Drafting and Design as his career program. Upon graduation, he enrolled in Delaware Technical Community College and received back-to-back Associates Degrees in General Engineering Technology and Civil Engineering Technology.
In 2005, Nik accepted a position with Thompson Elliott Associates where his interest in real estate was born by way of property surveys and land design. Under the guidance of his mentor, William Elliott, Nik has spent the last 17 years as an associate preparing property surveys, minor subdivisions, variance plans, and general site plans for clients ranging from home owners, real estate agents, real estate attorneys, farmers, financial institutions, investors, and builders; forging solid professional and personal relationships along the way. Through the years, Nik has gained specific insight as to zoning requirements set forth by the local governments in Kent and Sussex Counties; this insight and experience will serve Nik well as a real estate professional.
Nik’s experience is not limited to just residential real estate. Nik has personal experience in purchasing and selling commercial real estate, commercial businesses, and managing commercial tenants as an owner of commercial real estate. He currently owns and, with the help of his family, successfully operates, a retail business in West Dover.
Nik’s journey to become a licensed real estate professional took some time to come to fruition, but he would not go back to change a thing. When looking to purchase a home, start a business, or simply look for an investment opportunity, you need an agent who is not just professional; you need someone who is willing to take the time to listen to what you want, understand your needs, and put in the effort to achieve your goals.
