Hi, I’m Nicole.
Most days, you’ll find me balancing real estate, motherhood, and life alongside my loyal sidekick, Bentley. I didn’t grow up dreaming about contracts and closings — I grew into this work by being the person people leaned on when big decisions felt heavy and uncertain. Over time, I realized that patience, honesty, and protection aren’t just personality traits… they’re exactly what good representation requires.
I’m a Fort Walton Beach Realtor with a soft heart and a sharp business mind. I care deeply about people, their stories, and what “home” truly means to them — whether that’s a first house, land that’s been in a family for generations, or space to grow something new. I work primarily with residential and agricultural properties, and I’m especially known for calm, patient buyer representation. I don’t rush decisions, and I don’t pressure timelines. I believe confidence comes from understanding, not urgency.
Community matters to me. I’m a proud mom, a supporter of youth education, the arts, and families navigating special needs, and I hold a deep respect for our military families and the sacrifices they make. Those values shape how I show up — not just professionally, but personally.
I’m the kind of agent who remembers your dog’s name, listens closely, explains things clearly, and negotiates like it’s my own future on the line. Real estate doesn’t have to feel cold or transactional. When done right, it feels thoughtful, steady, and grounded.
If you’re looking for someone who will meet you where you are, protect your goals, and walk beside you every step of the way — you’re in the right place.

Nicole was phenomenal! She was the agent responsible for selling my Mom's home and she did an outstanding job as she handled the sale with tenacity , professionalism , and efficiency. Even though she had many obstacles to over come, everything from one seller living on the other side of the country, to being a double agent as the buyers didn't have an agent because they too were out of state. That's alone was impressive because a good agent always looks out for the best interest of their client but in this case her client was both the seller and the buyer ! She did a fantastic job juggling the two with fairness and absolute grace. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and I will be calling upon her in the near future for my own home!
Nicole McGowan is one of the most talented, dynamic and hardworking women I have met since moving to this area! She goes above and beyond in every situation to get done what needs to be done. Having her in my corner has been one of the best experiences and I will definitely be continuing to look for her guidance in the future!
I can’t say enough great things about working with Nicole, hands down a top real estate agent in Fort Walton Beach. As a military family relocating to the area, we needed someone who truly understood the market, the VA loan process, and how to help us navigate everything remotely. Nicole was incredibly responsive, patient, and strategic—she helped us get the perfect home in a competitive market. Her knowledge of VA buyer-friendly homes in Okaloosa County and the surrounding neighborhoods like Navarre and Crestview really made us feel confident. She gave us honest advice, negotiated like a pro, and never made us feel pressured. If you're looking to buy a home near Eglin Air Force Base or anywhere in the Fort Walton Beach area, I highly recommend Nicole. She genuinely cares, and you can tell she works hard for her clients. So grateful we found her!
Nicole couldn’t be a more knowledgeable person! She answers any questions I may have and efficient with time. She has been an awesome person to work with. I couldn’t recommend her more!!
