Nicole Bienvenu

I grew up near New Orleans vacationing on the Emerald Coast. I always dreamed of living the beach lifestyle full time and in the summer of 2018, I made that dream a reality.

A graduate of LSU, I earned a degree in English and a minor in Theatre in 2002. My first jobs were in the service industry and I spent over a decade ensuring great customer experiences in several Louisiana restaurants and entertainment venues. It was here that I learned the importance of a personal connection and how to mediate stressful situations and interact with people from all walks of life.

My next career jump was to the corporate world and I spent 11 years climbing the ladder to a lucrative management position. I worked tirelessly for my customers and my employees and put our territory on the national stage several times but the hours and lack of control in middle management left me wanting for more.

After moving to Florida, I chose the Real Estate world because I wanted to maximize my quality of life – and I wanted to help others achieve the same. Moving here is the best decision I have ever made. The beach life suits me, and I thank God every day for the path that brought me here.

I live in Santa Rosa Beach and when I’m not showing property and serving my clients, I spend as much time on the water as I can. I also teach a drama class at Destin School of the Arts and volunteer at my home church, Destin United Methodist.
