Meet Nick Ratiu – Real Estate Agent and Senior Housing Specialist
Hi there! I’m Nick Ratiu, an enthusiastic real estate agent with Active Real Estate in Arizona. My journey has been an exciting blend of technology, finance, and a heartfelt commitment to helping seniors find the right living solutions. Here’s a bit about me and how I can assist you in your real estate needs.
My Background:
I started my career in IT after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems from DeVry University. As an IT manager for B. Braun Medical in Irvine, California, I developed a knack for solving complex problems and a love for all things tech.
But life had other plans! After 5 years in mortgage financing, I moved to Arizona, got married, and found myself diving into the world of banking. I became an Assistant Vice President at MidFirst Bank, where I had the opportunity to help the bank grow and thrive. My experience in finance taught me a lot about the financial needs of people, and I found real satisfaction in making a difference.
A New Calling:
A major turning point came when I noticed many of my banking clients needed help transitioning to senior living. Wanting to make a real impact, I left the corporate world and started Loved Ones First. For the past 5 years, I’ve been dedicated to helping seniors find their perfect homes among Arizona’s 3,500+ Independent and Assisted Living communities. This journey has been incredibly rewarding and has enriched my approach to real estate.
Why I’m Here:
Joining Active Real Estate felt like the natural next step. I’m passionate about real estate, especially when it comes to assisting those who are selling their homes to transition to senior living. My unique background in IT, finance, and senior care gives me a well-rounded perspective, and I bring that into every interaction with my clients.
Here’s what I bring to the table:
- Smooth Transitions: I specialize in helping everyone sell their homes when moving to senior living, making the process as seamless and stress-free as possible.
- Broad Expertise: My varied career experiences mean I understand both the technical and emotional aspects of real estate transactions.
- Personal Touch: I’m all about honest communication, understanding your needs, and making sure you feel supported every step of the way.
Outside of Work:
When I’m not working, I love hitting the golf course or playing chess at my local chess club. I live in Vistancia with my wonderful wife Anna and our two kids. Our home is full of life and laughter, and I’m grateful for every moment.
