Nicole Rideout Hartwick

In 2025, Nicole Rideout Hartwick served as a vital guide for real estate professionals navigating the complexities of a post-settlement landscape. As president of Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty, she spearheaded the strategic direction that led the firm to achieve $1.7 billion in sales volume and more than 1,350 transactions in the first half of the year alone. Beyond brokerage operations, Hartwick amplified her industry influence by rebranding her “Real Tea” podcast and bringing CEO Colleen Barry on as co-host. The platform surpassed 10,000 total streams, delivering candid thought leadership on business adaptability and market transparency to agents and consumers alike.

Hartwick further expanded her advocacy in June 2025 with the launch of a second podcast, “This Is a Lot,” which explores the intersection of motherhood and executive leadership. By unmuting conversations around the challenges of balancing a high-level career with family life, she has created an inclusive space for transparency and mentorship.

“Helping professionals grow their businesses, elevate their service and feel part of a collaborative and supportive culture makes this work meaningful,” shares Hartwick, whose commitment to innovation and culture continues to solidify her reputation as a forward-thinking leader in the Massachusetts market.
