About Nicola
I was born and raised in Wellington, New Zealand, and earned a degree in Education from the University of Otago before beginning my career in the private yachting industry. Over the course of eight years, I worked aboard luxury superyachts, traveling extensively across the world while delivering five-star service to ultra-high-net-worth clients and managing the interior operations of vessels up to 190 feet.
Those experiences shaped my ability to anticipate needs, stay highly organized, and operate with absolute discretion in fast-paced, detail-driven environments. I later transitioned to estate management in La Jolla, CA, and Dallas, TX, where I oversaw the daily operations of a large private residence—coordinating staff, vendors, events, and complex household logistics.
Since moving to Santa Cruz, I have purchased and renovated multiple properties and look forward to sharing that experience with my clients.
My husband and I are proud to be part of a family-run business, Warehouse Direct Flooring Outlet, where his family has been serving the local community for over 40 years. Being closely connected to the home industry gives me a unique perspective on quality, craftsmanship, and the details that truly make a house feel like home. I value the relationships we’ve built within the community and bring that same level of trust, care, and commitment to every client I work with.
