Hardworking and self-motivated, Ollie Nietzel has flourished as a real estate agent in the greater Vancouver area. He got his start several years ago after working on tugboats. An injury led Ollie to explore another path, so he decided to earn his real estate license. \u201cI was lucky to be mentored by an outstanding agent named Geoff Golding for six months, and he taught me the importance of not only being respected by our clients but our peers as well,\u201d Ollie explains. \u201cAnd I also have my wife, Kirsten, to thank for my success. She made sacrifices and supported me throughout the beginning of my career. Without my family, I wouldn\u2019t be here.\u201d Today Ollie works as a solo REALTOR\u00ae with an assistant by his side. Much of his business is referral-based, as he goes above and beyond to meet his clients\u2019 needs. He spends most of his days working to achieve their goals, but he wouldn\u2019t have it any other way. \u201cI am really loving it, I wouldn\u2019t trade it for the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ollie knows his clients are making one of the biggest decisions of their lives, so he\u2019s committed to making the process as easy as possible. He educates them throughout every step, ensuring they know what to expect next. Communicative and always reachable, Ollie is there for each client he serves, ready to listen and answer questions. \u201cI put in a lot of hours and pay attention to the details,\u201d he explains. When it comes to his listings, Ollie works diligently to spread the word, advertising online and through the MLS. He also hosts open houses and makes sure to capture the properties in their best light with high quality photographs. Once the transaction is over, he maintains relationships with his buyers and sellers, sending them gifts during the holidays and dropping by to say \u2018hello.\u2019 \u201cI\u2019ll also reach out on social media,\u201d Ollie says.<\/p>\n
Clients are eager to tell others about his work. One recently said, \u201cOllie is a very good agent. With today\u2019s busy market he sold our townhouse over asking price within a week. Although there were many challenges, Ollie\u2019s amazing hard work made buying easy. Ollie is very knowledgeable, professional, punctual, compassionate and pays great attention to details. He was always available when we needed him. The listing for our house was beautifully done. We had a great experience that met our expectations and would definitely work with him again. I highly recommend working with him. Thank you Ollie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ollie regularly donates to organizations in his community, including the BC Children\u2019s Hospital. \u201cA portion of every commission is donated to them, which I\u2019ve been doing since day one of my business,\u201d he explains. When he\u2019s not working, Ollie loves playing golf and spending time with family, including his kids and his wife, who he credits for his success. \u201cI give her all the credit because she\u2019s had my back the entire time, I don\u2019t know where I would be without her.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s safe to say Ollie has found his calling in life. His passion for this industry is undeniable. \u201cI take pride in being able to help people make a move and coaching them through that. At the end of the day, if they\u2019re happy, then I\u2019m happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
