A longtime resident of south Orange County with over 35 years of experience in the real estate industry, Christy Nichols offers her clients an insider’s perspective on the many surrounding communities. After earning a bachelor’s degree in economics with a concentration in real estate from UCLA, Christy ultimately transitioned into the field of residential real estate from a successful career in commercial leasing, property management, financial analysis, and supervised tenant improvement. This extensive background gives Christy a clear advantage over her competitors in the market, as she brings a unique skill set to each transaction.

When it comes to the home buying, selling, and investment process, Christy is calm and confident—two invaluable qualities that enable her to negotiate the best deals for her clients. Christy’s favorite part about being a REALTOR® in Orange County is helping buyers purchase their dream homes, and she works tirelessly to procure positive results amid even the most complicated circumstances. The number one piece of advice she gives to her clientele is “trust the expertise of your agent.”

Besides real estate, Christy is most passionate about giving back to her community. She currently volunteers as a small group leader at her church, where she has been active for the past 25 years. In her free time, Christy loves to play tennis, hike, ski, and sail. Over the last two decades, she has been a member of several tennis leagues, including Pacific-Sun and Hill and Canyon.
