PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Nicole Tingvall
nicoletingvall.johnlscott.com
As a third-generation Washington real estate professional, the real estate industry has always been in my sphere. Some of my earliest memories involve assisting my grandparents, Ruth and Douglas W. Tingvall, at their brokerage, Paramount Realty in Mason County. At ten years old, I felt pretty darn cool when my grandparents made me a “Receptionist” name plate and business cards. I loved going out with my grandparents on walkthroughs & inspections and observing their client interactions.
My father, Douglas S. Tingvall, served as General Counsel at John L. Scott Real Estate from 1985-2005 and has been in private Real Estate Law practice since then. As the principal drafter of the Law of Real Estate Agency in Washington State (1996) and Washington Association of REALTORS® Instructor of the Year (2003), my father knows the real estate industry inside & out and I have been fortunate to have access to his expertise throughout my life.
Before beginning my real estate career, I built a foundation in interior design and furniture & textiles sales. I have a Business degree from the University of Washington and an Interior Design degree from Bellevue College. For 15 years, I helped clients create beautiful, functional and enduring spaces. In 2017, I was awarded “Industry Member of the Year” by the International Interior Design Association, Northern Pacific Chapter. With my Interior Design background, I am able to help sellers present their homes to sell more quickly and for a higher price and I am able to help buyers visualize a property’s potential.
In 2019, I earned my Master Certified Negotiation Expert designation through Real Estate Negotiation Institute. While most clients don't care about acronyms after an agent's name, they do care about skills. 82% of clients believe the ability to successfully negotiate a deal is the MOST important skill for their agent to have. I implement win-win strategies to give you favorable results.
I would be honored to represent you in your real estate transactions.
With Gratitude, Nicole
