REALTY ONE GROUP
GOLD STANDARD’S
NICOLE MALESIC
The Local
Advantage
T
he best asset a Realtor can
have for helping you buy or
sell your home is intimate
knowledge of the market. And for
Realty One Group’s Nicole Malesic,
Washington County has been
home her entire life.
“I was born and raised here and know
the area inside and out,” she said. “And with
more than 12 years of experience in real
estate, I’ve come to know the surrounding
counties as well. I’ll go anywhere for my buyers
and sellers—Washington, Green, Fayette,
Westmoreland, Allegheny—you name it, I’ll
go there.”
In her career, Malesic has also had a hand in
every type of deal imaginable, from acting as
a relocation specialist for clients moving into
and out of the state, to managing investment
property deals for clients looking to become
landlords or seeking investment opportunities.
“I’ve helped people downsizing or retiring and I’ve done some
commercial deals for a few investors as well,” she added. “But I love
my first-time homebuyers. They bring me the most joy because of all
the excitement they have about buying their first home. It’s not just a
transaction for them; it’s starting a new life and it’s wonderful to be a
part of that.”
While only joining Realty One Group earlier this year, Malesic is on
track to become a multimillion dollar producer for 2018. A graduate
of West Virginia University with a business management degree,
she works alone for her clients and says her family is all the team
she needs.
“My daughter helps with my marketing and my husband helps
with my showings and marketing as well,” she said. “When I was 9
months pregnant and couldn’t drive, he was there taxiing me to
showings for my clients.”
Her second family is Realty One
Group, which she joined in February
after 11 years with another major real
estate firm. According to Malesic, the
benefits that Realty One Group offers
her clients were worth the move.
“They have an amazing platform.
Their technology is a priority for them and they
give all of their Realtors the training they need
and support necessary,” she explained. “There’s
also a great enthusiasm here and I just couldn’t
pass it up. It was a great opportunity, and I’m so
glad I changed when I did.”
That technology and support gives Malesic
an advantage in a competitive market like
Washington County, which she feels is still
riding the wave of oil and gas industry workers
moving into the region.
“We have a hard time keeping listings on
the market for more than a week because they
move so fast,” she said. “Rental properties for
investors have been great because there are a lot of people willing
to turn them around. That also means rent prices are still high in
Washington County, but it works out for those looking to put down
roots. A lot of the oil and gas people who moved here thought it was
going to be a temporary situation, but it’s now a full-time oil and gas
industry that’s pretty steady and increasing.”
Regardless of your reason for buying or selling, Malesic’s positive
attitude, love of the job and experience can alleviate much of the stress.
“It can be really tough. It can be difficult, but I try to make everything
as smooth as possible for my clients,” she said. “I bear all the stress and
make sure they’re happy so they can focus on their journey ahead.”
