Nita has built her career around one simple goal: making the real estate experience as smooth, successful, and stress-free as possible for her clients.

Her experience extends to resale homes, acreage, land, and a wide variety of residential properties.

For buyers, Nita believes strong representation matters. She works to educate her clients, protect their interests, negotiate confidently on their behalf, and make sure they understand each step—from financing and home searches to inspections, appraisals, negotiations, and closing.

After nearly two decades in the business, Nita knows that real estate is about much more than buying or selling a house—it's about people, families, and important life decisions.

My words will fail me to truly sing the praises of Nita! We absolutely love her. She is responsive, knowledgeable, and so genuine. We could not have gotten through this process without her. She held our hand and was there to guide us from search to close and we are so grateful for her. When we had a question or problem, she would put on her cape and was to the rescue. I would recommend her 1000 times. I will never partner with another realtor!!

Nita and Angie did a fantastic job with the sale of our home! Nita was our agent. Angie is the business owner, and she was always available to help. Nita was highly responsive when we needed her — we always received prompt text and phone responses. That was especially important because we were out of town for the whole process. She handled everything professionally and even kept us laughing with her delightful sense of humor. She was very knowledgable about the market and was a strong negotiator. In general, realtors have a variety of different backgrounds. Some do it as a side business. For us, it was critical to have professionals — that’s Nita and Angie. Everything worked exactly as they planned -- the offers came when and how they predicted. We sold for well above asking. Many thanks to Nita and Angie. We’ll stick with the Engel and Voelkers brand -- they are premiere above all the rest from our experience!!
