Celebrating 20 Years of Real Estate Excellence

By Nick Waldner

Today, I want to take a moment to reminisce about a significant milestone in my career: 20 years in the real estate industry. Recently, my amazing wife surprised me with two huge balloons - a two and a zero.

When she handed me those balloons, I was puzzled at first. She then reminded me, “Do you know what today is?” When I couldn’t guess, she revealed, “You’ve been in the real estate industry with your license for 20 years.” I was shocked! Twenty years. It feels like just yesterday that I embarked on this journey.

Reflecting on these two decades from 2004 to 2024, I realized how much has changed and how much has stayed the same. Here are a few constants that have shaped my career and my life:

1. A commitment to lifelong learning. I’ve always been learning-based, constantly seeking knowledge. Whether traveling to masterminds or attending groups, I’ve embraced different perspectives to improve myself.

2. A growth mindset. I try to be content with my successes, yet always curious about how I could achieve more. This mindset has driven me to continuously explore new avenues for growth and improvement.

3. A desire to impact others. Helping others climb their success ladders has always been a priority. Many have helped me along the way, and I feel a deep obligation to pay it forward by supporting others in their journeys.

These 20 years have underscored the importance of staying humble, being a lifelong learner, focusing on growth, and making a positive impact on others. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you. Whether we’ve worked together, met at an event, or connected in any other way, you’ve played a part in my journey. Here’s to many more years of learning, growing, and making a difference together. If you’d like to know anything about real estate, just give me a call!
