PHOENIX, AZ, April 17, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Nicolette J. Hawthorne has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who, As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Born in Stuttgart, Germany, Ms. Hawthorne's journey into real estate and housing began early, rooted in service and responsibility. At just 23 years old, she stepped into a leadership role within the United States military housing division in Würzburg, Germany, where she oversaw leased housing operations. It was there that she discovered not just a career path, but a passion for creating environments where people can thrive.

That foundation led to a series of leadership roles across the United States, where she managed large-scale residential portfolios and refined her expertise in multifamily housing, operations, and client experience. Each step along the way added depth to her understanding of housing not simply as a service, but as a critical component of stability and performance.

In 2013, Ms. Hawthorne founded MAVRX Sports Housing, where she now serves as founder and chief executive officer. Under her leadership, the company has redefined what housing means within the sports industry, providing turnkey solutions that support athletes and teams during some of the most demanding periods of their careers. Her approach goes beyond logistics, recognizing that where athletes live directly impacts how they perform, recover, and show up both on and off the field.

Building on that vision, she expanded her entrepreneurial footprint in 2017 with the launch of P.R.O.S. Realty and 2019 P.R.O.S. Property Services. Together, these companies create a fully integrated real estate ecosystem designed to meet the unique needs of athletes and professionals, further solidifying her position as a pioneer in her field.

Beyond her business ventures, Ms. Hawthorne has remained deeply committed to advancing women in sports and business. She has served on the board of directors for WISE Arizona and continues to be actively involved in organizations that promote leadership, development, and opportunity within the industry.

Her professional philosophy is rooted in persistence and problem-solving. Known for finding solutions where others see roadblocks, she has built her career on the belief that challenges are simply opportunities to think differently and deliver better outcomes for everyone involved.

Equally important to her is the impact she creates beyond business. As founder and board president of the PITCH Initiative, Ms. Hawthorne has made it a priority to give back, directing resources toward community support, youth access to sports, and initiatives that address homelessness. This work remains one of her proudest achievements and continues to be a driving force behind her mission.

In recognition of her leadership and impact, Ms. Hawthorne has been honored by several respected organizations across both business and sports. She was named a Titan by Titan 100 in 2025, recognized among The NYC Journal's Top 20 Inspiring Women to Watch in 2023, and awarded Entrepreneur of the Year by Women in Sports and Events in 2022. She has also been included among AZ Big Media's Top 50 Real Estate Professionals in Arizona, while her company has earned national recognition from Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the country, four times.

At the center of it all is family. Ms. Hawthorne credits her husband, a former National Football League defensive guard, as an integral part of her journey, along with their daughters and granddaughters, who continue to inspire both her personal and professional path.

Looking ahead, she remains focused on expanding MAVRX Sports Housing nationally and internationally, leveraging technology while maintaining the personalized service that defines the brand. At the same time, she is committed to growing the PITCH Initiative and deepening its impact on the communities she serves.
