The high-energy youth shares his amazing story, showing people that anyone can thrive if they have the determination and willpower to go after what they want. When Nick was born, the doctors handed his parents a long list of things that he would never be able to do.” Nick’s parents politely thanked them and threw the list out.

Nicole Rueth has been passionately advising clients on their wealth building and home financing strategies for over 17 years. Her path has been as non-conventional as it is a benefit to her clients. As a BBA Finance graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, she went to work for Arthur Andersen/Andersen Consulting as a strategic business reengineering consultant. Nicole’s past experience of managing 100 person teams and facilitating million dollar solutions allows her to negotiate, analyze and provide creative solutions for her clients where other lenders fall short. After the birth of their three children, Nicole stepped out of her corporate traveling schedule and went to work for a friend to reinvigorate and redesign his mortgage company. Here is where she found her passion. Where others in the industry were focused on the “deal”, she developed a passion for helping the client first. Focused on building her knowledge capital, Nicole started in the operations side of Mortgage Financing, including warehouse management, lender relationships, FHA/HUD approval, post-closing, and loan product management. This background before originating mortgage loans gives Nicole’s clients a success ratio unparalleled in the industry. Added to that, Nicole offers her clients a closing guarantee; putting her reputation behind her commitment to closing on-time and under-budget every time.

In 2013 Ali said goodbye to her corporate software job. Ali wanted to work when and where she wanted. Just like you, she also wanted to control her income. New to the industry of real estate, Ali tried to copy what the top agents were doing because they looked “successful.” She wasted a ton of money on lead generation ideas that didn’t align with the goals of her business or life. I.e. door-knocking. GASP! Ali learned that most of the marketing strategies in real estate place a heavy emphasis on cold calling, mailing postcards to people who just chuck them in the trash, or on expensive online advertising that’s trying to interrupt and capture the attention of people who don’t know, like, or trust you. She’s not just a fancy marketer. She knows real estate. She served as the Director of Sales and Marketing at both Keller Williams and Better Homes and Garden Real Estate. She implements the same systems and strategies she used to build her own consistent 6 figure business and those of big brokerages to grow yours. And while most marketers have zero marketing-related academics or professional qualifications of any kind, Ali has dedicated years to the study and execution of marketing by becoming both a Certified Story Brand Marketing Guide and a Digital Marketer Certified Partner…the real world Harvard brands of marketing.
