Nia is a REALTOR® with LPT Realty, licensed in Florida, Illinois, and Georgia, and the author of the buyer and seller guides on this site. She has spent about a decade as a licensed agent and more than 20 years in real estate overall, working the Jacksonville, Chicago, and Atlanta markets. Her clients have left 88 five-star reviews across Google, Zillow, and Homes.com.


Nia bought her first property at 18, a three-unit building, and added a four-unit by 20. Since then she has owned, managed, and invested in property, and worked alongside flippers, wholesalers, and buyers hunting off-market deals. She has been the owner, the landlord, the investor, and the agent.
That first-hand history shapes the articles and guides she shares. She reads a deal the way an investor does and explains it the way a good neighbor would.

If your move crosses two of these states, Nia also handle both sides of a coordinated cross-state move.
The approach carries from her publications into the actual work:
You see the real monthly cost or your net proceeds before any decision, taxes, insurance, and fees included.
Precise street-level guidance on the neighborhoods you’re actually considering.
You work directly with Nia from start to close, not a rotating team.
Guidance framed as honest professional advice, with the trade-offs spelled out.
There are times when you need a house but then there are times that you need a home. Thanks what Nina did for our family. She found us a home that we love and that is a safe location to raise my girls. This is the girls first home and they love everything about it. Thank you for being patient, informative and all around amazing.

I had a fantastic experience working with Nia Sawyer on my recent purchase in Chicago. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. Whether it was touring properties, submitting competitive offers, or navigating the final steps to close. Nia was knowledgeable, responsive, and fully committed to putting me in the best possible position..

I have been wanting to relocate back to Chicago for a while and it has been difficult locating a home on my own remotely with COVID and everything happening so I reached out to Nia after someone recommended her. My experience with her has been wonderful. She is incredibly responsive and has pretty much held my hand every step of the way. I am so thankful I found someone interested in helping me and not just someone interested in the bare minimum. She has really given me a full service experience. I highly recommend!

Words cannot express how beyond grateful I am to have had Nia Sawyer as my realtor. The process for me was overwhelming, but she was available, knowledgeable, supportive, and put the REAL in realtor, being upfront and honest, extremely helpful, and made me feel like I was a priority. She fought for me and gave me the assurance I needed to get to the finish line with calls and messages to give me updates as well as check in on me to make sure I was ok. I would not have wanted my first time homebuying experience to be with anyone else. Thank you Nia!
