The Extra Mile

As a 21-year-old new agent, Nikki Taylor Friedman knocked on doors, hosted countless open houses for fellow agents, and seized every opportunity to get face-to-face with clients. Now 28, Friedman gets a lot of her business through referrals, but her philosophy of sparing no effort remains the same. “I feel that I get by giving,” says Friedman. “I throw client appreciation parties. I go to dinner with clients. I stop by their house. My clients become my friends.”

Friedman specializes in first-time home buyers and luxury resale—clients on opposite ends of the experience scale. But she is passionate about offering the same high-quality, customized service to all.

Friedman is equally passionate about giving back to the community. She recently helped plan a one-day baseball fundraiser that netted $3,000 for the American Cancer Society. Each spring, she volunteers at a 5K run that benefits a local state park. And every October, Friedman powers through a 100-mile bike ride to raise money for God’s Love We Deliver—a charity that provides meals for people who are too sick to cook for themselves. “Every year I forget how hard that ride is,” says Friedman. “I’m not the fastest or the most poised out there. But I’m always ready to give my all for a good cause.”
