Nicole Cooper

Nicole Cooper

Broker-Owner, NBC Realty | Austin’s Golf Agent

Nicole Cooper is the broker-owner of NBC Realty and the go-to real estate resource for buyers and sellers navigating Austin’s private golf communities.

A former University of Texas varsity golfer, Nicole brings something rare to golf lifestyle real estate: firsthand knowledge of the game, the clubs and the communities surrounding them. She has played Austin’s courses, walked the fairways and experienced the distinct culture of the area’s private clubs. That allows her to help clients look beyond the house and answer the questions that matter most:

Does the club fit the way you play? Is the community too formal—or not social enough? How difficult is it to get a tee time? Does the location work for daily life? And will the home protect your investment when it is time to sell?

Her philosophy is simple:

Find the lifestyle, then the house.

Nicole began her real estate career in 2009 after working as a certified property appraiser. She earned her Texas Broker License in 2014 and has since helped hundreds of clients buy and sell throughout Greater Austin, with a focus on luxury homes, golf course communities, relocation and strategic seller representation.

Her background in property valuation gives clients a significant advantage. Nicole approaches pricing, offers and negotiations with a data-driven mindset, helping buyers avoid overpaying and positioning sellers to maximize their results without relying on hype or guesswork.

Testimonials

"Nicole managed to sell my house in Brentwood within a day. I couldn't have been happier with the whole transaction and process. She kept me fully informed at every stage leading up to the house going on the market, as well as calming my nerves during the actual sale. I would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending her as a real estate agent in the Austin and surrounding areas. As a long time resident of Austin, her knowledge of the market was reassuring as I completed my first ever sale."

"Nicole got us an offer over asking price within 27 hours of listing our home! We literally left the country and traveled to the other side of the world, and we were at complete ease on our vacation, knowing Nicole was in Austin and would handle anything that may have needed to be addressed in our absence. We returned to the U. S. on a Thursday and closed on the following Monday. She knows Austin, TX, and she will price your house right. She’s a total pro - friendly, honest, and dedicated to service. 5 stars!"

"This was our 9th and hopefully our last home purchase, a relo from DC to Austin. Securing the best Realtor was a must for us! We discovered Nicole on YouTube while researching golf communities in Austin. She provides that extra touch you sometimes find missing when dealing with larger firms. Her knowledge of the Austin market was unbelievable, especially when she presented to us her Comparative Mkt Analysis of every home we considered. This Analysis was one of the most professional reports I have utilized when considering specific properties. This became my "go-to" when putting together our offer. We now have the house of our dreams. It would not have been possible without her assistance. I would strongly recommend her and her team, whether you are a first-time buyer, looking to upgrade, or a seller."

"Nicole is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the Austin market and all of the inner workings of the real estate industry. She's helped me find and close on two homes now, and I couldn't have asked for a better agent and confidant. If you want someone steadfastly in your corner, patient, and who will never try to sell you, go no further."
