Nicole Hayes

After nearly 20 years living and working in the fast-paced energy of New York City, I traded skyscrapers for mountain peaks, and never looked back. My husband and I moved to the Vail Valley to raise our family in a place where the outdoors is truly at our doorstep, and it has been the most rewarding decision we have ever made. My passion for homes runs deep. I grew up inspired by my father, a golf course designer, home architect and builder. From a young age, I was fascinated by floor plans, landscapes, and how thoughtful design can transform the way we live. That lifelong interest naturally evolved into a career in real estate, where I get to help others find spaces that truly reflect their lifestyle. As a mom, wife, and dedicated real estate professional, I understand that a home is more than just a place - it is the heart of your lifestyle. Vail Valley offers a rare blend of community, serenity, and year-round adventure. Whether it's fly fishing, hiking and golfing in the summer or skiiing and snowboarding all winter long, my family has fully embraced everything this mountain lifestyle has to offer. My years in New York City real estate sharpened my skills in negotiation, market strategy, and client advocacy - tools I bring to every transaction here in the Valley. I am proud to help others find their own place to call home in one of the most beautiful corners of Colorado. Whether you're buying, selling, or just starting to explore, I am here to guide you with honesty, insight, and heart.
