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

Hi Kalia, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
“The biggest risk of all is not taking one!” I learned this in my later years of life after not feeling satisfied at my full-time job, looking at my non-existent savings account, and feeling that a piece of the puzzle of my life was missing. Providing a better quality of life for my child became the driving force for the ultimate risk of my life that I was about to take. I stepped out on faith and pursued a real estate career with uncertainty yet a heart full of hope. As my real estate career took off, it afforded me so many opportunities to help so many individuals and families pursue their dreams of being a home owner and/or investor. That missing piece of the puzzle I discovered is to be a servant to my community and to help families obtain generational wealth through real estate.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am a Certified Florida Licensed Realtor specializing in residential, luxury and commercial real estate buying, selling from Central Florida to South Florida. Getting here was not easy and it took a lot of sacrifice. I obtained my real estate certification while working full time…late nights, caffeine and early mornings brought me to my triumphant day when I passed my state exams on the first try. From what I gained from this career, the challenges were all worth it. Before I became a Realtor, I fell in love with real estate through my own steps as a home owner. With no real guidance, before the age of 33, I purchased and sold two properties earning a net profit of over 100k, my home purchase experience was not pleasant and I ran into problems that could have been avoided with the right guidance. What I believe that sets me apart is my compassion to educate and build my clients confidence up to obtain property and gain the most out of their home purchasing experience. I aim to motivate and convince my clients to continue to purchase real estate to establish generational wealth for their family. It’s not about a commission check for me; it’s about forever changing lives one home at a time. The most important lesson I’ve learned in this business is to always have integrity because real estate and the money it produces could bring the worst out of people. I hold on to the faith and integrity I was taught which has kept me from the pitfalls that many have surrendered to. I want the world to know that as their Realtor, I would be eliminating the limitations and boundaries of home ownership and my clients would become successful future real estate investors.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would definitely be showing the awesome eateries in South Florida. Our first visit would be Sunday’s Eatery in Miami Gardens for a good ol’ southern breakfast. Later, we would satisfy our sweet tooth cravings at the Ice Cream Heaven in Miami Gardens, followed by a stroll on Hollywood Beach and finally ending the night with good vibes, music and dinner at Bar One Miami Beach.
