About Nikki & Carrie

---

When you work with Nikki O'Connell and Carrie Kim, you’re choosing a real estate team that brings more than expertise—you’re partnering with two people who are passionate about helping you find a home that fits your unique story. They know that buying or selling a home is deeply personal, and they’re here to support you through each step, blending skill, insight, and a little bit of fun to make the journey enjoyable and rewarding.

Carrie is a seasoned real estate professional with over 30 years of experience in real estate development and consulting, and she brings a unique analytical edge to the team. Born and raised in the Bay Area, Carrie moved to Thousand Oaks nearly four decades ago, where she raised her two children and developed a profound understanding of what makes this community so special. Whether it’s the top-rated schools, beautiful parks, or hidden hiking trails, Carrie knows Thousand Oaks inside and out. Her ability to analyze market trends and uncover insights unique to Southern California’s coastal and hillside areas gives her clients a strategic advantage. She combines a deep love for the local area with a natural curiosity, always eager to explore the nuances of the market and deliver exceptional results for her clients.

Nikki, on the other hand, is the team’s creative powerhouse. A Thousand Oaks native with a vibrant personality, Nikki recently returned to her hometown after 18 years in New Mexico, where she quickly became a top-producing agent. Her background in business marketing, advertising, and interior design gives her a flair for transforming spaces. With a fine arts degree focused on interior and graphic design, Nikki sees homes as canvases and is a master of staging, helping properties shine and connect with buyers on an emotional level. Her love for architecture and design has been inspired by a lifetime of living among diverse styles, from the Spanish Colonial gems of California to the urban landscapes of Chicago and beyond. She has an uncanny ability to make any room come alive and loves nothing more than showing clients how a space can be reimagined.
