Helping Through Hospitality

Today, when Nikki Gwaltney-Magliarditi, 29, takes time away from her real estate business, she uses it to reenergize herself. She’s usually golfing with her husband or hanging out with their bulldog, Sir Michael Caine. “We are big into family, too, and we have dinner with my parents and sister and her kid at least once a week,” she says. Gwaltney-Magliarditi and her husband also live close to the beach, where they enjoy paddleboarding. But she can remember a period when time off work was scarce.

After graduating from college, she worked in sales at a five-star resort. When she decided to pivot her career to real estate, she started working for a top-producing agent in a Los Angeles firm. The agent had just lost her assistant and was desperate for help. When Gwaltney-Magliarditi was hired, she was completely green to the business. “I’d tell her ‘OK’ when she asked me to do something. I’d use the resources on her Google Drive and go around the office asking for help,” she says.

In those beginning stages, she worked long hours. “It was absolutely bonkers,” she says. But the experience helped her accelerate her business. Today, she specializes in the luxury market, offering her signature “white-glove service.” “I am so glad I was given the sink-or- swim experience I had. I would not be where I am today without that.”
