Nicole R. Goolsby Morrison
Owner
Red Ladder Residential
Originally from Canada, I’ve spent most of my life in the southeastern United States. I moved to the Triangle area in 2015 after nearly 20 years of custom building in Charlotte. I have a passion for building, and renovations are my favorite projects because each one is unique. My perspective as a female builder and a mom shapes my approach to creating homes. The most rewarding part of my work is crafting safe, beautiful, and nurturing spaces for families.

Debbi Boyd
Business Development Manager
Real Estate of South Sound
With deep roots in Thurston County and a passion for helping others find their place to thrive, I bring a unique blend of local insight, generational knowledge, and genuine care to every real estate transaction. As a third-generation real estate professional with over 23 years of experience, I offer both time-tested expertise and a fresh, client-focused approach that always puts your needs first.
Raised right here in Thurston County and now living in Lacey’s Horizon Pointe neighborhood, I know South Sound communities inside and out. Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, or preparing to sell, I’m here to guide you with clear communication, strategic marketing, and strong advocacy — so you feel supported every step of the way.
Beyond real estate, I’m deeply committed to giving back. I currently serve on the boards of United Way of Thurston County and Olympia Master Builders (OMB), and I’m a charter member of OMB’s Professional Women in Building Council. I also represent Washington as a National Associate Delegate for the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW).
Supporting affordable housing, mentoring future trades professionals, and volunteering locally are just a few of the ways I work to uplift our community. I’m also a proud mom to my daughters, Jessica and Shelbi, and dog mom to Maggie, my spirited chihuahua.
