The Tedesco Commercial Real Estate Advisory Team

Nirmitha Punukollu

Nirmitha Punukollu is a Realtor with Crye-Leike Realtors who works closely within the Tedesco Commercial Real Estate Advisory Team, supporting commercial clients throughout North Georgia with disciplined execution, trusted client relationships, and strong market connectivity within the Indian business community.

Originally from southern India, Nirmitha earned both her engineering degree and master’s degree before moving to the United States. She then built a successful 13-year career in information technology, working as a Software Test Engineer across healthcare, financial services, logistics, and robotics-related platforms. That background developed the analytical discipline, attention to detail, process management, and problem-solving skills that now strengthen her role in real estate transactions.

Since entering real estate full-time in 2023, Nirmitha has established herself as a highly effective and productive professional. She was recognized as Rookie of the Year in 2024, achieved Top Producer in Cumming, Georgia in 2025, and ranked as the #2 Top Producer across the Georgia division of Crye-Leike Brokerages. Those achievements reflect not only production, but also trust, responsiveness, and a strong ability to move clients through important decisions with confidence.

Within the commercial platform led by Tony Tedesco, Nirmitha has been actively involved in commercial sales and leasing assignments over the past several years, supporting transactions involving retail space, office space, flex space, second-generation commercial space, franchise users, and small-business expansion opportunities. Working under Tony’s direct commercial supervision and mentoring, she helps clients benefit from proven commercial judgment while also providing the proactive communication, organization, and follow-through that complex transactions require.

A major strength Nirmitha brings to the commercial team is her deep relationship base within the Indian business and investor community in North Georgia. That connectivity gives the team trusted access to a growing segment of local entrepreneurs, business owners, landlords, tenants, and investors. In many transactions, effective representation depends not only on market knowledge, but also on trusted communication, cultural understanding, and the ability to navigate client concerns with clarity and confidence. Nirmitha brings those strengths in a highly meaningful way.

She is also especially valued for the discipline she brings to transaction management. Nirmitha maintains detailed records of client criteria, objectives, and next steps to help ensure that opportunities are pursued methodically and important details are not overlooked. Her communication skills are one of her strongest professional assets. She has a natural instinct for staying ahead of client concerns, often providing updates at exactly the moment a client is wondering where matters stand. That proactive approach materially reduces client stress, strengthens trust, and helps transactions move forward more efficiently.

As part of the Tedesco Commercial Real Estate Advisory Team, Nirmitha helps extend the reach of a proven commercial platform through trusted market relationships, strong client management, and culturally informed communication. Clients benefit from both Tony Tedesco’s 45 years of commercial real estate experience and Nirmitha’s ability to help the team communicate, connect, and execute at a high level with Indian business and investor clients.

Nirmitha is a member of the National Association of Realtors and holds the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation. She works across multiple platforms, including NEGBOR MLS and CoStar, and remains committed to continuing education, professional growth, and delivering informed, value-driven representation.
