Claire Nagel: Where Home Meets Heart

By Laura Henkel

Claire Nagel is more than just a realtor. She’s a trusted advisor, confidant and lifelong friend to many clients. For her, real estate is far more than a transaction; it’s an opportunity to connect deeply with the people she serves, ensuring every client feels supported and valued.

Whether helping a first-time buyer navigate the complexities of purchasing a home or matching a seasoned luxury buyer with the perfect multi-million-dollar property, Nagel exceeds expectations. Her secret? She makes every interaction personal, creating experiences that are as enjoyable as they are effective.

It’s fitting that the name Claire, derived from the French word meaning “bright” and “clear,” so perfectly reflects her personality. Originally from London, she has lived and worked in some of the world’s most dynamic cities, including Málaga, Miami, New York City and Los Angeles. In 2005, she found her permanent home in Las Vegas.

Nagel’s professional foundation was built in the hospitality industry, where she managed high-profile restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues.

Her experience creating extraordinary guest experiences later translated into real estate when she launched her career in 2015. Today, as part of Sotheby’s International Realty, she combines her hospitality background with the unmatched resources of a global brand, offering clients white-glove service and access to some of the best marketing tools in the industry.

Clients consistently praise her for her expertise, warmth and unrelenting dedication. She has a knack for making every client feel like her only client, often forming bonds that extend well beyond closing day. One first-time homebuyer shared how she guided them through the process with patience and care, ensuring they felt confident at every step. Another client, searching for a luxury estate, recalled how her attention to detail and proactive approach secured their dream home before it hit the market.

What makes Nagel truly exceptional is her ability to connect with people. She doesn’t see her work as helping clients buy or sell properties but as an opportunity to improve lives and create lasting relationships. Her vast knowledge of Las Vegas and approachable nature make her the go-to realtor for anyone looking to settle in this vibrant city.

When she’s not working with clients, Nagel embraces her adventurous spirit by traveling the globe. She has visited over 30 countries and 27 states and deeply appreciates food, wine and culture. Whether enjoying tapas in Spain, discovering new vintages in France and Italy or exploring a hidden gem closer to home, Nagel brings the same enthusiasm to her travels as she does to her career.

Music has also played a significant role in her life. Her early career in London’s entertainment scene nurtured her love for an eclectic range of sounds. At home, she enjoys hiking, practicing yoga and savoring the company of friends over a glass of wine. Her positivity and zest for life are infectious, inspiring everyone around her to live more fully.

Nagel represents the perfect blend of professionalism and approachability. Her connection to Sotheby’s International Realty provides her clients with world-class resources, but her genuine care and personal touch leave a lasting impression. In every sense of the word, she brings heart to the journey of finding home.
