Edge of the Wilderness Realty

Nic’s interest in real estate started shortly after he graduated from Grand Rapids high school while he was working for a local home builder. He worked for several years in the construction industry building homes and then went on to work in the Twin Cities installing passenger elevators. His passion for real estate (and his now wife) brought him back to the Grand Rapids area. He moved back to work at a local lumber yard selling building materials. At that time, he also started investing in real estate and flipping homes. In 2021 Nic decided to go all in and get his real estate license. Growing up in the Grand Rapids area, Nic is no stranger to what northern Minnesota has to offer. He enjoys many of its amenities with his friends and family which include spending time on the lake, sitting next to a bonfire or on an adventure in the woods. In business, Nic believes in building strong relationships and becoming an expert in his industry. Education never stops, he is continuously investing into his education through masterminds and mentorships to grow his understanding of the industry and better serve his clients.
