Nikki Cates

Nikki Cates brings real estate, lending, and advisory experience into every room she enters, grounded in the same structural discipline that defines Pure Compass Investments. Her years inside the industry, on the lending side and the advisory side alike, showed her how rarely capital decisions are made with real clarity, and how much that costs families over time.

She speaks from the intersection of finance, culture, and conviction, translating the thinking behind the True North Framework into a conversation that gives a room something to actually use.

  • Real estate and lending experience in the Washington, D.C. and Maryland market, 2017–2021
  • Active Florida real estate license, operating through eXp Realty's Referral Division
  • Graduate theological training at Emory University's Candler School of Theology
  • Founder of Pure Compass Investments, built on the True North Framework
