Subsequently he was a national sales representative for a real estate trustee foreclosure support company, where he developed and maintained a highly effective business relationship with lending institutions at all levels ranging from support staff to management. He was a member of the trade association, which included interaction with state and local officials to develop industry standards including pending legislation, fees, and training.

Building on his success in maintaining business relationships with lending institutions, Nick returned to the Philadelphia area. There he joined a local real estate company as a licensed real estate agent with the intention to specialize in the REO foreclosure marketplace.
