Having jumped in with both feet in real estate, Nakia sold hundreds of homes in the span of about 15 years as a Salesperson.  Nakia wanted to further his education and worked to obtain his Broker's license.  Being in sales, it's important for a broker to be in the trenches and know what the licensees under are experiencing.  Nakia began teaching as well as a way to give back to the industry.  Now having taught thousands of students across the nation and seeing how others do things, it's given Nakia the experience to lead as an agent first, then leader second.
