Nick Segal
Born in New York City and raised in Westhampton Beach, Nick graduated from a Quaker prep school in 1979 and from Vassar College with a B.A in 1983. In 1989, Nick received a California Real Estate Agents license and in 2000, earned his Brokers license.
Nick started his real estate career with a firm called Dalton, Brown and Long Realtors also known as DBL Realtors. Joining the firm as the 12th agent of the young and dynamic company, Nick worked his way up the ranks to become one of the firm’s top producing agents as well as the Manager of the main office, assisting in the growth of the firm’s rise in prominence and market share within the Los Angeles area. For his efforts, Nick earned the position of Partner in the firm, becoming the second in command to President, Alan Long. During the growth of the company, Nick was charged with spear heading the effort to expand offices in Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades, serving not only as Vice President for the company but also as Regional Manager for these offices.
When DBL Realtors chose to open the office in Brentwood, Nick stepped back into the primary role as Manager of the office while retaining his Regional Manager position for the Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades offices. Under the guidance of Nick Segal, the Brentwood office fast became one of the flagship offices for the company, commanding local market share and quickly surpassing the growth and productivity of the competing Sotheby’s International Realty office across the street.
In 2004, DBL Realtors was courted by Sotheby’s International Realty to acquire the 9 Office firm with approximately 650 agents. On November 11th, 2004, Sotheby’s acquired DBL Realtors. Because the DBL office in Brentwood was far bigger after only one year in existence than the Sotheby’s office, the Sotheby’s Brentwood office folded into what was the DBL Realtors Brentwood office. For his part in the growth and success of DBL Realtors, Nick Segal was given the title of Senior Vice President for Sotheby’s International Realty. Nick has continued to manage the Brentwood office which is now consistently one of the top 5 offices in the entire Sotheby’s network of 47 offices throughout the United States and London.
During his 20 year Real Estate career, Nick Segal has consistently represented a high profile client base negotiating well over 350 million dollars in real estate transactions. During that tenure, Nick has overseen the negotiations of well over a Billion Dollars in real estate transactions as a Manager of the offices he has governed.
Because Nick believes strongly in giving back to his professional community, for now 11 years, he continues to serve the Board of Realtors as one of a select few Presiding Officers for the Professional Standards and Ethics Committee. Nick has also served
on the Nominating Committee for the Board of Realtors. In the spirit of service, Nick has also served as President of the Homeowners Association for 3 years when he lived in his Westwood residence.
As an investor, Nick believes strongly in the long term strength and positive monetary return investing in mortgage backed securities as his pension plan portfolio will demonstrate.
