Nicholas Acosta - Real Estate Broker/Instructor

About Nicholas

Nick launched Downtown Expert Realty LLC in Orlando in July 2020, to provide Florida families and businesses with expert, informed brokerage services. His passion for real estate, deep industry expertise, and devotion to his clients have helped to elevate the firm to a mainstay in the thriving Orlando real estate scene. Nick explains his vision for Downtown Expert Realty: “I want to create an experience like no other for my associates, customers, vendors, and everyone else that our firm interacts with.” Downtown Expert Realty provides associates creative freedom to pursue innovative strategies, and diversity and inclusion are central tenants of the organizational culture. “We pride ourselves on creating a culture that is truly inclusive,” Nick notes. “Diversity is a major component.” To share real estate insights with the world, Nick also records a weekly podcast, Home 2 All, a favorite listen among real estate professionals, vendors, and the general public.

He was drawn to real estate from a young age, inspired by his grandfather, a general contractor who built beautiful homes for his family members in South Tampa and Ybor City. Nick’s father owned real estate investment properties and taught his young son the importance of financial stewardship. It is his father’s legacy that he seeks to honor now. “My father was truly a healer,” Nick says. “He won many awards throughout his career, but his true mission was simply to care for his patients and his family in every way he could.” As a business owner, entrepreneur, and long-time member of the St. Petersburg community, Nicholas Acosta is on a mission to do the same.

By bringing Downtown Expert Realty to St. Petersburg, Nick aims to provide his hometown community with safe, comfortable places to live and work. His vision for diversity and inclusion extends beyond his business, to the community at large. “As an entrepreneur, I want to make sure we are creating affordable housing for everyone. We all deserve housing.” Nick’s mission is to make the real estate industry navigable and enjoyable for his team, his clients, and everyone in his community. Downtown Expert Realty LLC is a one-stop-shop brokerage, where clients can acquire lending services, and connect through referral with home insurance, property management, utility setup, and packing and moving services, all under the same roof. Downtown Expert Realty’s associates offer in-person and virtual services, with thorough understanding of the St. Petersburg commercial and residential real estate industry and necessary know-how on regulations, bylaws, zoning, and much more.
