Former Plumley agents open new realty office in Potsdam

POTSDAM – A new realty office, Nikki Coates & Associates, is open and operating at 30 Main St.

Nikki Coates, who worked for Plumley Real Estate in Potsdam for 22 years, has brought Plumley’s former principal broker, Norene Randall, with her into the new business. Randall has 20 years’ experience in the business.

“The market has changed in the way we interact with buyers and sellers, largely through technology,” Coates said. “So we’ve been looking for a slightly different way to sell real estate.”

Because of that, she considered working strictly on her own, without a formal office, “but I had an opportunity to purchase 30 Main St., which is an excellent location with good parking,” Coates said. The site was a Century 21 real estate office some years ago.

“The right pieces fell into place,” she said, “and we felt it was time to make a change.”

Coates says she and Randall are full-service Realtors, both certified buyers’ agents, representing buyers and sellers. They are dealing primarily in residential property, and also work with commercial property sellers and buyers.

Since they set up shop about a month ago, Coates said, “people are finding us just fine. We’re taking off on a run.”

The office is to be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and people may make appointments for any time. There is parking in the back, and the side door of the building is the office entrance.

The office phone number is 265-4303. Coates’s home number is 265-3232, email nikki.d.coates@gmail.com. Randall’s home telephone number is 262-2056, and email norenerandall@gmail.com.
