Some people find their way into real estate through business ambitions or opportunity. For Reggie, the journey began long before the first home tour — in the fire service. As a former firefighter, he spent years serving people at their most vulnerable moments, and that experience shaped the way he approaches real estate today. Integrity, trust, and showing up for people aren’t just values he learned on the job; they’re the foundation of his entire career. So when it came time to choose a brokerage, Reggie gravitated toward one that shared those same commitments. Sotheby’s International Realty — and specifically Nick Sadek Sotheby’s International Realty — felt like the perfect home, a place rooted in excellence, professionalism, and genuine care.
Long before Reggie was guiding clients, he was hands-on renovating homes of his own. With more than 15 years of real estate investing and countless remodels, he understands houses from the inside out. In his early investing days, he tackled nearly every project himself — flooring, finishes, repairs, you name it. Those experiences gave him a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and taught him what quality truly looks like. Today, while he works with trusted contractors, that background allows him to spot potential issues, see hidden opportunities, and help clients envision possibilities that others often overlook.
Outside of real estate, life is just as full. Reggie and his wife have three young children, all five and under, so even days off are delightfully busy. Whether they’re cooking breakfast as a family, spending time outdoors, or simply enjoying the everyday chaos of life with little ones, those moments are his grounding place. Reggie is also a trained chef and the creator of a YouTube cooking channel, #GatheratOurTable, where he shares simple, homemade recipes that bring people together. Cooking has always been a creative outlet for him — a blend of family, food, and community, the same themes that inspire his work in real estate.
For Reggie, real estate is about relationships, not transactions. Staying connected after closing isn’t an obligation; it’s the natural way he does business. He checks in long after the keys are handed over, celebrates life milestones with clients-turned-friends, and continues to be a resource for whatever they need — whether it’s a market update, a contractor referral, or just someone they trust. Giving back to the community is equally important to him. He is active in the Woodland and Davis areas, volunteering and participating in service-focused organizations that reflect the same values he brings to his business.
Reggie believes luxury isn’t defined by price, but by the level of service. To him, the “white glove experience” means leading with integrity, attention to detail, and genuine care in every interaction. His business can be summed up in three words: integrity, communication, and care. These aren’t marketing terms — they’re the standards he holds himself to every day.
One experience that stands out for Reggie happened early in his career. A discouraged homeowner with an expired listing wasn’t sure she could successfully sell her home. Together they created a thoughtful plan: prepare her home to relist while searching for her next one. Within a week, she secured a new home, and the very next day her property was listed — selling in under a week. From selling, to buying, to moving, everything happened within 30 days. Seeing her relief and excitement reminded Reggie exactly why he loves what he does: helping people achieve what once felt impossible.
Reggie stays ahead of market trends by tracking inventory, interest rates, and buyer activity weekly, blending data with insight gained from talking to agents, lenders, and contractors daily. That combination allows him to offer clients advice that’s both informed and grounded in real-world experience.
His dream home would definitely include a professional-grade kitchen and a walk-in refrigerator — a nod to his culinary background and love for cooking big meals for family and friends. And one piece of advice he always gives buyers and sellers is to choose their agent based on trust and expertise, not cost. Real estate is personal, and clients deserve someone committed to their success, not just someone offering the lowest fee.
What Reggie loves most about being part of Nick Sadek Sotheby’s International Realty is the culture of excellence. The global reach of the brand, combined with strong local expertise and a team that values collaboration and integrity, allows him to elevate the experience for every client he serves. To him, it’s more than a brokerage — it’s a team that feels like home, just like the homes he helps others find.
