Meet Nakia Thompson of SOUL LUXE REAL ESTATE

Today we’d like to introduce you to Nakia Thompson.

Hi Nakia, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Born and raised in Decatur, Georgia, I come from deep traditional Southern roots where faith, family, and hard work were a way of life. Entrepreneurship wasn’t a concept I discovered later—it was woven into my upbringing. From an early age, I watched my grandmother, as well as my mother who built and operate multiple businesses in the city of Decatur, including a hair salon, a family restaurant, and a personal care home. Dedication and resilience planted the foundation for my own entrepreneurial spirit.

Sundays were sacred in our household. After church, my family and I would spend afternoons touring model homes and open houses—an unconventional tradition that unknowingly shaped my future. Walking through beautifully designed spaces sparked an early fascination with luxury, design, and the art of staging a home. Those moments ignited a lifelong appreciation for real estate, aesthetics, and the feeling a well-curated home can create.

Rooted in Southern tradition yet inspired by vision and growth, my journey is a reflection of legacy meeting purpose—where entrepreneurship, elegance, and community intersect.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Not at all. Like any meaningful journey, there have been challenges along the way. Over the past five years, the market has shifted repeatedly, requiring adaptability, resilience, and unwavering focus. Through every change, consistency became my anchor—staying committed regardless of what the market was doing.

There were seasons marked by long days and late nights, countless showings, and moments where family time had to be sacrificed. With that came the weight of pressure and guilt—emotions many driven parents know all too well. Yet, even in those moments, I understood that my perseverance was building something greater than immediate success. It was laying a foundation for my children—to show them that hard work, discipline, and dedication can open doors and turn vision into reality.

The journey hasn’t been easy, but it has been purposeful. Every challenge shaped the strength, perspective, and legacy I continue to build.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Soul Luxe Real Estate was founded in 2023 with a clear vision: to create a brand rooted in exceptional service, integrity, and genuine care for every client served. From the beginning, the goal was not simply to facilitate transactions, but to guide clients through one of the most important decisions of their lives with clarity, confidence, and elevated support.

I specialize as a Buyer’s Agent, with a strong focus on serving Veterans and military spouses, First Time Home Buyer’s—particularly those navigating frequent PCS moves. Having close-knit connections within the military community allows me to understand the urgency, complexity, and emotional weight that often comes with relocation. My role goes beyond finding a home; it’s about creating stability, advocating fiercely, and making the process as seamless as possible, no matter the timeline.

What sets Soul Luxe Real Estate apart is the balance between professionalism and personalization. Every client receives hands-on attention, strategic guidance, and service that consistently goes above and beyond expectations. I’m most proud of building a brand that feels both luxurious and soulful—where trust, consistency, and excellence are non-negotiable.

I want readers to know that Soul Luxe Real Estate isn’t just about buying homes—it’s about serving people, honoring their journeys, and delivering an experience that feels thoughtful, elevated, and deeply intentional from start to finish.

Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Outside of real estate, I’m an avid foodie who genuinely enjoys cooking and bringing people together through great meals. Quality time with my family is everything to me—it’s where I recharge and stay grounded. When I’m winding down, you’ll most likely find me binge-watching episodes of The Golden Girls or diving into a good crime series. Those moments of balance, laughter, and curiosity are just as important to me as the work I do, and they keep me inspired both personally and professionally.
