In the heart of Yucaipa, The Candice Lewis Team is making waves in the real estate market, helping clients buy and sell homes and investment properties throughout the Inland Empire, Riverside, San Diego, Los Angeles Counties, and the surrounding mountain communities. At the core of this dynamic group are two seasoned professionals—Candie Lewis and Brandy Nielsen—both proud Yucaipa residents for decades and passionate advocates for their community.
For Lewis and Nielsen, real estate is more than just transactions—it’s about guiding people through some of life’s most significant milestones. “We’re there to make the transaction go smoother and easier,” says Nielsen, capturing the team’s client-centered philosophy.
Lewis brings a unique perspective to the world of real estate. Before embarking on her career as a realtor, she was a certified athletic trainer for college and professional athletes, a high-pressure role that taught her to manage stress and perform under pressure. “Instead of rehabbing a person, I am rehabbing houses,” Lewis says, drawing a parallel between her two professions. Her transition to real estate was sparked by a leap of faith, inspired by a mentor who saw her potential. “I left a field I loved because somebody believed in me and encouraged me to take a leap,” says Lewis, crediting her mentor Sue Miller as a cornerstone of her success.
Nielsen’s journey toward her career began early—she started working at sixteen. She eventually entered the real estate industry, navigating loan processing and escrow before earning her stripes as a realtor. “I helped people navigate the process,” she recalls. Now, helping first-time buyers achieve the dream of homeownership is one of her greatest rewards. “It’s exciting to see people buying their first homes,” Nielsen says.
The synergy between Lewis and Nielsen is a hallmark of their business. Their friendship, built over years of working side by side, enriches their partnership and benefits their clients. “We are on the same wavelength. We each have our strengths and play off each other,” Nielsen explains. Lewis agrees, “It is hard to find a PPP, a Perfect Performing Partner. That’s what Brandy is. I am often working with her for 12 hours a day and I don’t get sick of her.”
The Candice Lewis Team prides itself on offering clients not just transactional expertise, but real, actionable information tailored to their unique situations. “Most importantly, when our clients reach out to us, they walk away with real information of value regarding their real estate,” says Lewis.
Beyond their expertise in real estate, The Candice Lewis Team are active members of the Yucaipa Valley Chamber of Commerce. Both Lewis and Nielsen encourage other small businesses to join the Chamber, seeing it as vital for the community’s success. “We want to participate with the Chamber so we can encourage small business growth and be an active part of the Yucaipa business community,” Nielsen explains. Their involvement reflects a deep commitment not only to their industry, but to the thriving network of entrepreneurs and visionaries shaping Yucaipa’s future.
