Nicole Ji recognized early on that she had a calling: Her passion—and greatest satisfaction—lies in helping others. She’s always been the person you can count on to show up, whether it’s for a day of volunteering, lending an ear to a friend, giving a recommendation to a client, or simply offering a hug. And throughout her years as a real estate agent, her passion and warm personality has helped her way beyond the simple pleasures of matching her clients with a dream home or helping them sell their own efficiently. “Some days I'm a marriage counselor, a therapist, a friend, a confidant, a consultant, a forms expert, and so much more,” Ji laughs—but it’s too true.

The secret sauce that Ji brings to any of her relationships is her empathy. She prides herself on lavishing attention on her clients, educating them about real estate if necessary, hearing their unique needs, and then acting decisively to help them achieve their objectives. “I’ve been there on the buying side, when my agent didn’t give me the attention I needed, and didn’t hear me,” she recalls. But even that negative experience has been spun positive Ji: It’s made her a better agent, heightening her mindfulness toward her own clients. As a result, she boasts an incredibly loyal, wide-ranging client base.

Ji specializes in Washington’s Snoqualmie Valley and surrounding areas; part of her business is focused on commercial, land acquisition, rural properties, equestrian and hobby farms. Away from her clients, you’ll find her running triathlons to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and supporting Duvall’s Northwest Arts Center, the Riverview Educational Foundation, the Snoqualmie Valley Community Network, Art in Bloom, and Acres of Diamonds. She travels frequently with her husband, Sang, and loves to spend time with her adult kids (Nick & Mikaela) and grandkids, plus her extended family of two horses (Mikaela is an avid rider), and a spoiled cat named Katie Bell.

What they say about Nicole!

  • "Nicole made and selling our family home during very turbulent times (both personal circumstances and the covid-19 environment) as smooth as it could possibly be. She listened with heart and head to ensure emotions were respected and encouraged action when it was needed to help forward with the sale. Nicole has tons of excellent contacts who are skilled what they do to ensure quality work was performed on-time. She works tirelessly and makes sure all questions are answered in a timely manner. Most of all, I appreciate how easy she is to talk to and fun to work with!"

  • "Nicole was recommended to us a close friend. We were thinking about moving but were very fusy on what we wanted. We had an initial chat with Nicole, she was great and told us to take our time. Eventually we did then Nicole really swang into action. We bid on a home with many offers in and this is where Nicole's experience blew us away. We constructed an offer with Nicole's guidance and less than 24 hours later, our bid was accepted. Not sure I would want to be on the other end of a negotiation with Nicole! We then used Nicole to sell our home, she staged it amazingly, held our hand with what to look for with regards to the offers that will come in. We on a Friday had over 20 people come through that weekend. The Sunday evening, we had accepted an offer, was so fast and above what we expected. We are now in our forever home and loving it, without Nicole's step step guidance and take charge approach we would not be here. Great service, adorable person. We would recommend Nicole to anyone in the blink of an eye!"

  • "It was an absolute pleasure to work with Nicole. Her local knowledge of the market, the buying process and negotiation skills are impressive. However, what you might expect is delivered expertly and with surprising gusto and calming enthusiasm, but it is her discretionary attention to detail and her going beyond reasonable expectations that is unparalleled in real estate. She sourced all kinds of local information from artisans and craftsman for helping with work that might be needed to amazing professional services that were needed to ensure a smooth purchase and minor fixes and tweaks once the sale was complete. The entire experience from first vowing to post sale celebrations was a fun and memorable adventure. Nicole left me with a smile on my face and a beautiful home that exceeded my expectations. I almost want to buy again just to get to work with her! I can't recommend her highly enough!"
