Nicole Carlson

Welcome! I’m Nicole, and I’m so glad you’re here.

As a native of Lake Minnetonka, along with places I’ve called home including Japan, Los Angeles, and Scottsdale, Arizona (where I continue to own property), I bring a well-rounded perspective shaped by diverse environments, lifestyles, and a lifelong connection to real estate.

Real estate has always been part of my story. My mother was a Realtor and my grandfather a Builder, so I grew up surrounded by homes and the process of creating them. Some of my favorite childhood memories include touring open houses with my parents, being asked for my opinion on layouts and finishes, and watching custom homes come to life from the ground up. Those early experiences sparked a deep appreciation for architecture, intentional design, and the role a home plays in everyday life.

My professional journey has taken me through several luxury brands, including Porsche, Nordstrom, and Life Time Fitness, where I developed a strong foundation in client experience, presentation, and elevated service. I’ve also had the opportunity to model internationally in Japan and throughout the United States, and was honored to be crowned Mrs. Minnesota America in 2015. My career has included performing as an NBA dancer, working as an on-camera commercial actor, and sharing my love of style as an On-Air Fashion Expert with ShopNBC and ShopHQ.

Beyond my professional work, giving back has always been a priority. I’ve served on boards and supported organizations such as the Minnesota Zoo, Arthritis Foundation, Helping Paws, American Heart Association, ChildHelp, and other meaningful causes. I believe success is not just measured by achievements, but by the impact we make in the lives of others.

At the heart of everything I do is my family. I believe a home is so much more than a place. It is where memories are made, traditions begin, and life unfolds. That belief guides the way I serve my clients. My goal is to help you find not just a beautiful property, but a space that truly supports your life, your vision, and your future.

Every real estate journey is unique, and I’m here to make yours seamless, elevated, and even a little fun along the way.

I’d love to be a part of your next chapter.
