Nick Propps

Nick started in the real estate industry back in 1989 where he worked with a real estate firm in the Washington DC area. He began in the property management division and later earned the title of Executive Vice President after greatly expanding the company. After running much of the operation for 9 years, Nick decided to return to Statesboro where he had graduated from Georgia Southern University many years earlier.

He enjoys working with the public and has worked with all types of small and large clients over the years. One of the clients Nick represented was United Rentals which is the largest equipment rental company in the world with over $3.5 billion in total revenue in 2005.  He has also represented GEICO Insurance and the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades DC-51 with a complete reorganization of its real estate portfolio. He was retained to ensure that a site for The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) landmark Computer Incident Response Center was established in record time after the terrorist attacks in September 2001 prompted the Federal Government to make changes to security infrastructure in the Washington DC area. He also represents the world’s largest and most prestigious childhood cancer research organization, the Children’s Oncology Group, and represented the National Childhood Cancer Foundation with its relocation from California to Bethesda Maryland.  He has been hired to settle property disputes by investigating and providing independent opinions of value and has worked on numerous real estate legal matters including a homeowners association dispute and a $40 million dollar landlord tenant case.

He has vast experience in the construction field and has personally remodeled and also overseen a long list of construction projects. He is a former law enforcement officer and has owned an IT and security consulting company which he later sold. His unique experience provides unmatched benefits to his clients; in fact one client was able to secure a $250+ million dollar Federal Government IT contract after Nick handled their sensitive real estate requirements in record time; that client has since been listed as the 14th fastest-growing private company in the United States by Inc. Magazine.
