Our Leadership Team
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate | BloomTree Realty
Nick Malouff
President and CEO
Nick Malouff is the CEO and founder of Bloomtree Realty, a company he established over eleven years ago with a guiding vision: to redefine what a real estate brokerage could be by placing authentic community connection at the heart of the business. His goal wasn’t just to build a company that facilitated real estate transactions, but to cultivate a culture where people—agents, clients, and community members alike—feel genuinely supported and empowered.
With a deep understanding of both the market and the human side of the real estate business, Nick has led Bloomtree through more than a decade of growth, transformation, and success. His ability to attract and retain top-tier real estate professionals stems from his unwavering focus on values-based leadership. Agents are drawn not only to the tools and resources Bloomtree offers, but to the collaborative and integrity-driven environment Nick has fostered.
As the market continues to evolve, Nick dedicates his energy to strategic direction and innovation, ensuring the brokerage remains ahead of trends and responsive to the unique needs of both agents and clients. He is a strong advocate for professional development, technology integration, and service excellence, always with an eye toward long-term sustainability and impact.
Nick’s leadership is defined by accessibility, vision, and an unshakeable belief in the power of people working together. Whether guiding agents through career milestones or helping clients find their place in the world, his focus is on delivering value that goes beyond the transaction.
Outside the office, Nick recharges through music and family. He plays guitar in a local band, enjoys the occasional round of golf, and cherishes time spent with loved ones—reminders of the balance and connection he encourages within his company.
