Nicolai Glazer

A trusted leader in Southern California’s luxury real estate market, Nicolai combines deep local knowledge with a strategic approach that clients can rely on. With the majority of his business stemming from repeat and referred clients, Nicolai’s success reflects the long-term relationships he builds through exceptional service and client-centered guidance.


Nicolai’s expertise lies in his unique blend of market insight, historical knowledge, and a deep appreciation for coastal living. His accomplishments have placed him among the elite Real Estate Advisors in Southern California, earning him recognition in The Wall Street Journal’s Real Trends + Tom Ferry “The Thousand” 2024 and ranking him in the top 0.07% of Realtors nationwide for the last 10+ years. These accolades underscore his commitment to excellence and his relentless drive to achieve results for his clients.


Rooted in Orange County, Nicolai attended San Diego State University and California State University, Long Beach, where he graduated with a degree in Psychology. Before real estate, he built a successful business in the fashion and action sports industry, which gave him a unique perspective on strategic decision-making and client care. A semi-professional surfer and 2nd Degree Black Belt, Nicolai’s dedication to his pursuits shows in both his personal and professional life.


“Life gives you an opportunity to perform at your highest level and be the best version of yourself every day. Why would I not choose a brand and company to work with that isn’t of the same mindset and caliber.” Nicolai is proud to offer the expertise of his team with Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty, based in Newport Beach, California.
