Conversations Matter

Although Nicole Talmadge was born and raised in Northern CT, she decided to attend school at Southern CT State University where she majored in Communications. Out of college, Nicole decided to stay in New Haven County and work at some of Connecticut’s major radio stations. Following her stint in radio, Nicole’s husband pushed to become a real estate associate in our Branford office. Just about 3 years ago Nicole formed her team, The Talmadge Group, where she leads a group of real estate professionals. She would love to expand her team but focuses on quality over quantity. Every year The Talmadge Group wins a new level of award. In 2020 Nicole and her team won Chairman's Circle Gold. In 2019, they won Presidents Circle, and in 2018 the team won Leading Edge Society. Nicole, her husband Doug and 10-year-old son Evan call the CT shoreline home.

Over the past several years, Camille has had the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream in Real Estate. Her career started on the Investor side of the business where she successfully purchased, renovated and sold several homes for profit. After about 4 years, Camille decided to take her career a step further and obtain her Real Estate license. She was able to accomplish this all while working a full time job in Insurance Sales. Within her first year as a Realtor, Camille managed to complete 10 transactions which exceeded her expectations! Camille currently resides in Bloomfield, CT and has had the opportunity to work with clients throughout the Hartford County area. With the expertise she has obtained through the years, she has been able to provide a level of guidance to other Investors that most Realtors are not able to offer. Camille has not, however, limited herself to this niche as she has also enjoyed working with first-time homebuyers, current homeowners that are looking to downsize and anyone else who is looking to own a home or investment property.
