She has refurbished several Bay Area apartment buildings and has restored and rehabilitated numerous homes in San Francisco herself.

Prior to her real estate ventures, Nina was a professor at the Graduate School of Business at Columbia University and later the Graduate School of Business at Berkeley, California. She holds a M.A. and Ph.D. from Stanford in psychology and is widely recognized as one of the best-trained negotiators in the business.
