Meet Cody Nowicki of Cody Nowicki Senior Real Estate Specialist

Today we’d like to introduce you to Cody Nowicki

Hi Cody, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My path to becoming a real estate agent has been anything but linear, but every step has strategically shaped who I am today. After graduating from Central Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in 2015 , I pursued strength and conditioning coaching, interning with programs at CMU and Eastern Michigan University. However, I quickly realized that lifestyle wasn’t aligned with my long-term goals.

I transitioned into personal training, where I loved helping people reach their goals, but it wasn’t enough to meet the life I envisioned. Encouraged by successful clients in sales, I decided to gain experience by taking a member service rep role with a health insurance company. That experience led to a five-year career in Sales Engineering, where I developed skills in problem-solving, negotiation, and relationship-building.

Despite excelling in these roles, I felt a deeper calling to help others in a more meaningful way. Leaving the corporate world, I briefly focused on helping businesses secure pandemic-related tax credits, which brought me closer to an entrepreneurial path. That experience, combined with my passion for real estate investing, led me to pursue a career as a real estate agent.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of this career has been helping seniors and their families navigate life transitions, such as downsizing or moving into assisted living. To better serve them, I earned my Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) certification, equipping me with the knowledge and tools to guide families through these often-challenging decisions.

Today, I’m proud to help people buy, sell, and invest in real estate, knowing I’m aligned with my purpose: making a meaningful impact during some of the most significant transitions in life.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I’d say my journey was relatively smooth until I left corporate to try my hand at helping businesses secure pandemic-related tax credits. That transition taught me invaluable lessons about delayed gratification and resilience. We only got paid when businesses received their credits, but with the program’s complications, many are still waiting for payouts over 24 months later.

This period put my back against the wall and tested my resolve in ways I hadn’t experienced before. It was my first attempt to step outside the traditional path and take bold steps toward uncharted territory—not just for me but for my family. While it was a struggle, it ultimately led me to where I am today.

Life will knock you down, but one thing I’ve always done is get back up. When your purpose burns deep, nothing can stop you from achieving your dreams. Every setback has only fueled my drive to keep moving forward, and for that, I’m grateful.

At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to educating and guiding people through major life transitions.

My goal is to build friendships that last a lifetime and to be there for my clients, their families, and friends whenever they need guidance in the future.
