Sandra Nickel founder and CEO

As founder and CEO of The Hat Team, Sandra leads one of most technologically advanced real estate companies in the River Region. Her industry colleagues call her a top professional, but Sandra calls herself a “rainmaker”: she’s always busy bringing in new clients and keeping in touch with current and past clients. She does it in part by her service to and with the community, and her articulate sharing of her knowledge with local and national contacts. In spite of her vast 30 plus years of experience in real estate, she has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge to help her clients and prospects find or sell their home. One of her successes is that she has earned the Certified Residential Specialist designation held by less than 4 percent of all Realtors nationwide. Sandra is most proud, however, of her team of professionals and their collaborative commitment to care for the firm's clients. Included on that team is husband Jim, an Air Force veteran, who serves as CFO. Sandra follows a time-honored code of ethics whose principles are loosely defined as loyalty to clients; fiduciary (legal) duties to clients; cooperation with competitors; truthfulness in statements and advertising; and non-interference in exclusive relationships that other Realtors have with their clients. Sandra has helped thousands settle into the quaint cottages, bungalows and mansions in the historic Montgomery area neighborhoods. Her team is hands down the expert when it comes to Midtown Montgomery homes.
