Nikki Ricci

DG Laura McGreal

Coldwell Banker Realty

Nikki Ricci’s journey reflects the promise of opportunity and the power of hard work. Raised by immigrant parents who came to America seeking a better life for their family, she learned early the values of discipline, perseverance, and commitment.

Years later, Nikki met her husband, Jon, and together they began building a future centered on family. Like many couples, they searched for the ideal place to raise their daughters and create a home of their own. With a clear vision and thoughtful consideration, they chose Oak Brook—a decision that would shape both their personal lives and Nikki’s professional path.

The experience of building their first home proved transformative. Inspired by the process and energized by what it represented, Jon encouraged Nikki to explore a career in real estate. In 1986, she began her career with Coldwell Banker Realty, a decision that marked the beginning of a long and successful chapter. Today, she offers in-depth knowledge of Oak Brook and the Western Suburbs, enhanced by global and national networking resources that benefit her clients.

Nikki’s passion for the business and her consistent performance have placed her among the top tier of agents in the Coldwell Banker Oak Brook office. She believes that while it takes hands to build a house, it takes hearts to build a home. Guiding buyers and sellers through meaningful transitions remains her highest priority.

For Nikki, “a first impression is a lasting impression” is both principle and practice. She reminds sellers they have one opportunity to captivate a buyer, beginning the moment they arrive at the front door. Her professional mission is equally clear: to earn her clients’ trust by delivering service defined by the highest standards of quality, value, and integrity.

Nikki never forgets her roots. Her upbringing instilled in her a deep respect for heritage, family, and the rewards of hard work—values that continue to define her success and her service to others.
