We had the good fortune of connecting with Nikita Garland and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nikita, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
When I got my Broker license I thought now that I have accomplished that it was a good time to start Upscale Living Realty, so when I’m ready I can have Realtors work under myself and have my own brokerage.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I helps clients buy, sell or lease properties that fit their personality, dreams and their desired quality of living. I also offer a lease purchase program called Home Partners that will give my clients, who are working on their credit or simply saving funds for their down payment an affordable way to purchase. Another program offered is Real Vitalize (paid at closing), which will provide any updates needed to a seller’s home in order to get the most value without any upfront costs. To sum it up, my company doesn’t just sell/buy homes. What we offer is an experience that educates and empowers the client with their investment goals.

I didn’t give up that’s how I overcame the challenges. I believe that your focus and drive is what will set you apart from the crowd. Giving up is not an option!The lessons I have learned is to stay true to myself and my business meaning my worth I am not a discount agent. I provide the best service and I know the value in that.

My brand is providing the best customer service and educating my clients

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them to Milk and Honey, Tribecca, Sage, and to the Battery. Those are some of my favorite places right now, besides the Malls. I love to shop! Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Yes I would like to shout out Cherise Beasley who has motivated me and encourage me when things got difficult. Also my Family who is constantly my cheer leaders and reminds me that I am a boss and I’m very deserving of this.
