Ringin' & Singin' with Nicole Doty

Ringin' and Singin' with Nicole Doty

 

 

     Debbie Reynold's contest for the month invites us to pick up the phone & reach out to other ActiveRain members that we've never had the chance to speak with before.  I was lucky enough to catch up with a new member of ActiveRain that seems like she's been around forever - since day 1, Nicole has 'gotten it' and has brought us great content, a ton of interaction through Nicole Doty, Gilbert AZ Real Estate Brokercomments, and much information about the area around Gilbert, AZ.

 

 

     Anyone that's been following Nicole knows that she's an expert in her market, and one hell of a writer.  Beyond that, she's a Michigan native, wife, mother to 2 daughters, broker/owner, and an athlete.

 

 

     Nicole is interested in health & fitness, and is a marathon athlete 6 times over, having run multiple local marathons and even the Chicago marathon.  She also has an interest in getting behind the camera and messing with photography.  If you've seen the photos on her blog, you know she's pretty darn good.  When I found out that once upon a time she went to school to focus on English, it didn't surprise me, as the quality of her writing all but gives that away.

 

 

     While many real estate agents spend much of their career finding a niche, Nicole had one from the start.  She got her real estate license in 1998 on a friend's suggestion, and began her career working primarily on land acquisition and investment opportunities.  Over the years she's expanded her expertise and is now the broker/owner of Zion Realty in Gilbert, AZ, employing 6 other agents to serve the local area.

 

 

If you're not following Nicole here on ActiveRain, you're missing out.  In just a short time she's become one of my favorite bloggers and is as active in the rain as anyone.

John, I do follow Nicole. Even though I spoke with Nicole I did not know that she is a marathon athlete.  She is definitely a power-house.
