    “Having worked with Nikki for nearly 20 years now, first as a State Director for C.A.R. then as a lender for her and her team, I can say I have seen on numerous occasions how she attacks issues head on and has a real knack of finding common ground for all parties and solutions to most any issues she faces. Her knowledge in real estate would be difficult for most anyone to match while once again she is always looking for solutions that make everyone feel heard and respected. I fully endorse Nikki Coppa for State Treasurer of the California Association of REALTORS® and know wholeheartedly that the organization will be better off for having her in this roll.”

    “I have known Nikki for a few years on a personal and business level and she has been an amazing resource for myself to help grow my team and my business not only to be more successful, but for me to be a better person. She is an amazing leader that always has the time to help and always has a calm and sensible way to work through any situation. I cannot think of a better person to lead C.A.R. into the future. For Nikki, this is much more than just a lofty position, she is really invested in making our industry better for everyone, REALTORS® and Clientele. I could never say enough positive things about her. She would surely get my vote if I had one!!!!”
