Summary

Ali Nichols has been obsessed with real estate since she was a little kid. She has always wanted to marry whatever she was doing with real estate, and is pretty stoked to have achieved that. Outside of tech, she loves to spend time with her family and friends, hiking, golfing or boating. In fact, when she and her significant other were living in San Fransisco, they boat a sailboat and were obsessed with the craft. But now that the live in Miami, they've switched over to power boating, to better enjoy all that Florida water has to offer. Ali and her Co-founder previously worked together at a real estate startup, specifically in the single family rental space. They both really struggled with the idea that their friends were priced out of the market, and wanted to make opportunities available to more people. This is the creation story of Getaway.
