Nickey Calford has developed a reputation in the London, Ontario real estate market for helping investors maximize their equity, much like a shark in the ocean seeking out the best prey. Just as sharks are known for their sharp instincts and predatory nature, Nickey possesses a natural repertoire of masterful skills that set her apart in the real estate industry and enable her to expand potential investment opportunities.
At 21, Nickey purchased her first investment property to flip, showing the same fearlessness and determination as a shark in pursuit of its goal. Over the years, Nickey has successfully renovated and flipped over 30 homes for profit, much like a shark constantly adapting to new environments and finding ways to thrive.
Equally comfortable negotiating with high-level executives in a boardroom or helping first-time homebuyers realize the potential in their property, Nickey guides each client through the intricate process of real estate with the same confidence and grace as a shark swimming through the ocean.
Nickey now runs a successful real estate team in London and coaches agents across the country to reach their full potential, much like a shark leading its pack to hunt for the best opportunities. Her biggest reward is seeing the agents she coaches succeed at a high level, just as a shark experiences satisfaction from successfully hunting and providing for its family.

Meet Mark, a driven and compassionate real estate professional dedicated to helping his clients achieve their real estate dreams. Much like a shark in the water, Mark is relentless in his pursuit of the perfect property and never backs down from a challenge. Born and raised in the GTA, he has a deep understanding of the local market and a genuine passion for guiding clients through the often complex and overwhelming process of buying or selling a home. With over 20 years of experience as a chef, Mark brings patience, integrity, honesty, and a calm demeanor to every transaction—qualities that mirror the shark's unwavering focus and determination.
Mark's sharp instincts and keen eye for opportunity make him an invaluable ally in the real estate world. After falling in love with London and purchasing his first home there, he saw the potential to help others navigate the same journey. When the pandemic prompted a career shift, Mark embraced real estate and joined Keller Williams, quickly finding a home with Nickey Calford's team. Since then, he's been helping clients buy and sell with confidence, continually adapting and thriving—just like the bull shark. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned seller, Mark is ready to guide you through a seamless and memorable real estate experience.
