Woodbury's Nicole Oustatcher Newest Agent to Join Homes By Mara

Syosset, NY; October 5, 2020 – Homes By Mara Realty of Syosset, NY, recently welcomed Nicole Oustatcher of Woodbury, NY as its latest Licensed Associate Broker. Oustatcher joins Homes By Mara after a highly successful executive career in the financial services industry, where she worked with some of the leading banking and trust companies in the world, of which she says is a great benefit for the top-notch service and attention she is dedicated to delivering to real estate clients.

"Having the responsibility to get things done and providing the highest standard of service for the likes of former Citi CEO Sandy Weil as well as former Vice Chairman and Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin coupled with having the accountability for ensuring every detail was done to their standards of excellence allows me the ability to provide the same for real estate buyers and sellers. Real estate clients should expect nothing less than exceptional service and accountability from whatever estate professional they are working with," explained Oustatcher. "When I met Homes By Mara Realty President and Owner Mara Navaretta to discuss the chance of working in real estate and today's needs for real estate clients, it became immediately clear that not only would working in real estate be a great second career for me but that working with her agency would be a perfect fit for me as well. I simply could not have asked for a better opportunity and could not be happier."

I simply could not have asked for a better opportunity and could not be happier."

Oustatcher added, "While the real estate business is highly served and competitive today, my own personal experiences as a seller and buyer of real estate both in Manhattan and on Long Island really opened my eyes to my own needs and wants as a real estate client. I look forward to bringing these experiences as well as my background in banks and trust companies dealing with the most sophisticated and discerning clientele to Mara and her team. My goals as a real estate professional are the same as those I have had as a banking executive, always striving to meet and exceed client expectations and delivering results for them, while at the same time, and more importantly, protecting them from many risks to ensure they achieve the optimal result with the least possible inconvenience so they can focus on themselves and their families. I am very excited to bring these experiences and mindset for effectively serving the home buyer and seller clients we represent at Homes By Mara."

"Her over 20 years' practice in the financial sector is beneficial for our clients when it comes to explaining and breaking down the financial process behind real estate transactions while her experience in working with brokers from the other side gives her a unique point of view on what home buyers and sellers need when it comes to the right level of attention and service."
