Nicola "Niki" Willhoit is the broker/owner of The W Collection, Inc. which she opened with her husband, Baron, in January 2022 after her 20 year anniversary of being a member of the Laguna Board of Realtors. Niki and her husband, Baron, both grew up in Laguna Beach and graduated from LBHS where they were high school sweethearts and now proud parents of daughter, Bentley (9), at Top of the World Elementary and son, Baron Jr. (5), at Montessori School of Laguna Beach on St. Ann’s.

Although Niki does do real estate sales, she specializes in property management and takes pride in caring for her clients’ homes and investments as she would her own properties.  Niki has worked with some of the largest investors in town, as well as small single property investors alike.  One of the reasons she opened this boutique brokerage was to be able to service the unique needs of her diverse clientele when many larger brokerages in town were cutting property management out of their businesses.  Niki’s investors have a lot of confidence in her knowing she is both experienced and educated being a Certified Property Manager (CPM) through IREM.  Being the only CPM with the LBOR, Niki is a very helpful and knowledgeable asset!

Over the last 21 years, Niki has served on many committees with the LBOR including Education, New Member Orientation, Taste for Charity, Save the 4th of July Fireworks, Pet Parade & Chili Cookoff, and most recently serving on the 2023 Grievance Committee.  Niki was also honored to be invited to Sacramento this May as a representative for the LBOR at Legislative Day.  Niki is looking forward to becoming an even more active member of the board in the coming years and serving our many members and friends!
