Carmel-by-the-Sea

At Truszkowski, Freedman & Associates, real estate is personal — every client, every property, every outcome. Led by Nicole Truszkowski and Zak Freedman, this Carmel-based team is known for delivering meticulous, high-touch service across the Peninsula’s most sought-after markets, including Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pebble Beach, Big Sur, and Carmel Highlands. 

With a deep understanding of the region’s neighborhoods, land use, and market rhythms, Nicole and Zak combine tailored strategies with world-class marketing to deliver results that consistently exceed expectations. Their past successes include internationally covered sales like the Betty White Carmel retreat — which sold for over $10 million — and the discreet sale of a Brad Pitt–owned estate, both showcasing their ability to position iconic properties for maximum impact.
