Nicole was great to work with from start to finish. She was always quick to respond and made herself available whenever we had questions, no matter the day or time. The whole process felt smooth and low-stress for my wife and me--from looking at homes, to handling the appraisal and paperwork, all the way through closing. She kept us in the loop the entire time and was easy to communicate with. What really stood out was how well she understood what we were looking for. She wasn't just trying to help us buy a house--she wanted to make sure it was the right fit for us. Her knowledge of the market and attention to detail made a big difference, especially with how competitive things can get. She also went above and beyond to help us land a place in a highly sought-after area, and it wasn't even on the market yet. That alone says a lot about her work ethic and connections. If you're looking to buy or sell in Silicon Valley, I'd definitely recommend working with Nicole. read more

I had to sell a townhome in August and I know how important the listing agent is, thus I not only got referrals, I also interviewed the top referrals, all 7 of them. Nicole really shone from the interview! - she was well prepared - she showed herself as an area expert with detailed information on selling in my complex - her competitive market analysis was very thorough and reasonable - her listing package was also very competitive (the commission includes staging, cleaning, marketing, etc.)My only out of pocket was for the inspections. She even spent her own money to forewarn us our mail! Nicole's pricing was right on, we were able to get my target price even though another property of the same layout came on the market at $40k less a few days later. Not only did we get the target price, it also had zero contingencies, and a very quick close. The competing property was sold ~$12K less than mine with a much longer close. Overall, very smooth transaction. From start to the end, the whole process took less than 45 days! If you are looking to sell in the San Jose area, make sure you talk to Nicole! read more

Nicole was an amazing to work with! She was always responsive and knows the market well. She understood what we were looking for and started finding listings for us right away. She had great insight on all the different neighborhoods in the area. Nicole is very professional, a great negotiator and super fun to work with! I always felt that Nicole was looking out for our best interest and was completely transparent throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you Nicole!! read more

Nicole helped me quickly add major upgrades to my house and sell it rapidly just as the market was starting to take a downturn for sellers. If it weren't for her vast knowledge and organized coordination with the contractors, realtors and all other related personnel necessary to complete a house sale, I would not have been able to sell my house at the price I was able to and as quickly. She is friendly, knowledgeable, expeditious and always took the time to consider any of my special requests or interests. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the market for selling or buying a home! read more

We came within inches of signing with a realtor who wanted to list our San Jose townhouse @$799k and who wanted us to put up $15-20k to spruce up and stage the property so it would present well. They told us it was a very bad time to try to sell a home (interest rates, the holidays). Then at the last minute we decided to get a second opinion and lucky for us we found Nicole. Nicole put together an in-depth market analysis for us and recommended listing at $1,050k--a quarter million dollars more than the first realtor!!! No expensive staging (and SHE paid for the staging she set up for us), she exuded optimism about selling even though it was during the holidays. The initial steps for getting on the market could not have been smoother for us. We left town right after signing up with Nicole and she took care of everything. The home went on the market just after thanksgiving and Nicole presented us with three solid offers one week later. The lowest offer was at our listing price. We ended up accepting an offer at $1,150k! Through the process Nicole was helpful, cheerful, professional and even fun to work with. What an amazing experience! read more

Nicole has been wonderful to work with. She listens, is very positive and proactive, and is very professional and unflappable when working with other agents. She knows the South Bay very well, and advised on locations. She monitors her feed regularly, and proactively sends ideas and suggestions and makes sure to stay in communication. read more

My wife Irene and I began passively looking for a house and reached out to Nicole to help us. Right away she jumped into action and started finding houses that matched our asks for us to view/visit. At no time did we feel any pressure to have to buy or settle. We understood the market was tough and couldn't find the right one. It was then we decided to take a break from looking. However, Nicole never stopped looking for us. When the right opportunity for the house of our dreams became available, Nicole made sure to bring it to us. The house is perfect for our family of six. We can't be any happier. Not only did she help us through the finding and buying process she introduced us to a wonderful Mortgage broker. Once the deal was closed, she was not done from there. She lined up all the contractors acting as a project manager to get the jobs done, that the house needed. We are extremely grateful to have had Nicole help us out and be with us through this process and 100% recommend her for any of your real estate needs. read more

Love love love Nicole Gurries as our real estate agent! Always attentive to our needs, patiently answered all our questions, and explained every step of the process along the way! She was right on top of everything throughout the whole process and was sure to look out for what she knew was important to us as her buyers. We purchased in an area that was off the beaten path and she went the extra mile to do her research, making sure to show us the properties that would suit us best. Nicole Gurries is a realtor who will go the extra mile for you and sincerely cares about her clients. Thank you Nicole! read more

Nicole Gurries  - Compass - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Jose, California

Nicole is great! She had our house sold before we even put it on the market. She already had someone lined up interested in a house like ours and so we had a buyer without all the hassles of staging the home, open houses, etc. During the whole process Nicole was very communicative, responsive, cheerful, empathetic, and owned every step of the process. Nicole got all the inspections lined up, worked with the title company to make sure the sale of our home closed in time for all the funds to be available for the new house we were closing escrow on the next day, and even got workers out to the house to fix things. Nicole and Compass offered many services that would have been great to take advantage of had we needed them. I would highly recommend Nicole for your realtor needs. read more

Nicole Gurries  - Compass - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Jose, California

Nicole helped us buy our first California house. Through all the ups and downs, she was there for us, giving us great advice and honest feedback. While we lived there, she was our go-to "first call" whenever we wanted to find an electrician, or another contractor to help us update the place. We valued her help so much, we asked her to help us sell that house a few years later. She was fabulous! The staging made our home look incredible for the listing photos, and made it so popular, we had more people wanting to view it than time slots in the day. We ended up with more than 20 offers, and wound up getting much more than our asking price. Nicole is our favorite realtor of all time, not just because she's so good at her job, but because she's such a good person. We love Nicole! read more

A little over two weeks ago, I was lost. My father died at the end of last April and I was left with an almost paid for house that isn't in the greatest cosmetic shape. I knew I had to sell, but I didn't know where to start...hell, I didn't know how to start. So, I googled "real estate agents near me" and that's when things started coming together. I called Nicole Gurries and, even though she was handling some personal business, she answered my call. I explained my situation and she set up a meeting for us 2 days away. However, she started working for me within hours of that first call! She did tons of research on my house, the neighborhood, similar recent home sales...just really thorough. At our in person meeting I told her I had a plan, and that plan had a number, and that number was $---- (I'm not giving actual numbers because it feels, what, inappropriate? Plus, money isn't exactly the point here, which coming from me is really saying something!). She assured me that number wasn't going to be a problem...and I believed her! She was easy to believe because she was telling the truth. Nicole is decent, and she's got the goods...she knows what she's doing! I hired her on February 3rd and by February 13th my house was sold!! So, when all was said and done, the number I ended up with was $200,000.00 more than what I told her I needed...HELL YEAH!!! Escrow closes in a little over 2 weeks (and I have no worries that the sale won't go through since Nicole had every buyer contingency removed in the offer I accepted) and I'm looking forward to what's in store for the future. What a surprising turn of events in such a short time! Oh, and fyi, Nicole even bought me all my packing equipment like, boxes (3 sizes), tape, bubble wrap...even a special couch protector since I explained that, while I LOVE my wonderful boyfriend and my 3 fur babies to death, I love my couch more! I do, but if you saw it, you'd get it... it's toile! Nicole went out of her way to guide me through a process I had to go through but had no idea how to, or if I even could. She did all the heavy lifting! The only bad thing is, now, how am I going to manage without her?! Don't hesitate to hire her. You'll thank me if you do... read more

We were both sellers & Buyers. Nicole made us feel as ease with everything. Kept in touch every step of the way,from staging our home and getting it ready to sell to finding contractors for our new house. My family and I really appreciate all the dedication she put into us and her job, I would recommend her in a heart beat. She really goes above & beyond and makes you feel like you are the only one looking for a house or selling a house. She is truly Amazing!!! read more

Nicole is great! We worked with her on closing two homes and in two different markets. She was very communicative, proactive, and creative in helping close our transaction. She is also very good person for any seller to brainstorm on constraints, scenarios, and how to think about closing. In addition, she is also resourceful in providing great recommendations to make the place great place for living. I would go with Nicole anytime, for her professionalism and can do attitude. read more

Nicole was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G from start to finish. We decided to sell our home in Pittsburg and asked her to help us. She suggested that if we update the home, we would be able to sell quicker and for more. We had already purchased our new home and had plans to move out of state, so we agreed to hand the keys over to Nicole to work her magic. Nicole came in the day after we moved out, and her team got right to work. Within three weeks, she had sheetrock repair done, roof repairs done, the entire inside of the home painted, all new carpet put in and even planted some ferns in the entryway herself! She also assisted us with a good deal of junk removal/hauling, and completely demo-ed/remodeled one of the bathrooms. At first, we felt nervous about this whole process, but Nicole assured us at each step, shared photos and provided lots of updates. The schedule moved right along the timeline she had promised us, and she had the home staged and on the market right on-time. Not only did she do a phenomenal job at helping us with updating the house (we wanted to move back in after she was done!), she also did a phenomenal job at representing our home during the sale and negotiation process. We received a total of 19 offers which was quite overwhelming, but she organized them all visually and broke down the terms of each one to make them easier to compare. She helped recommend which Buyers would have the least likelihood of falling through while getting the highest possible price. She even negotiated up the chosen offer, and the final offer was much more than we were expecting - $48K more than our neighbors who had just sold the same exact floor plan!!! Our home closed in 21 days and we couldn't be happier! Nicole made the process so easy and we are so pleased we used her. read more

Thank you, Nicole!!! Earlier this year, I decided to put my property up for sale knowing that the real estate market was going soft. I was not in a hurry to sell, but obviously wanted to maximize the resale value as much as possible. Nicole provided a number of suggestions to quickly increase the value and attractiveness of the home, brought in professional designers and photographers to make the place look great, and worked with me in ensuring that we were bringing in the best potential buyers possible. I am extremely pleased to have selected Nicole as my listing agent. She was very thorough, always on schedule, kept me informed and included me in every decision along the way. She never pushed me into making uneducated decisions and allowed me to set the tempo for the sale process. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone who wants to work with an intelligent and motivated agent. The fact that she is always smiling, patient and willing to help puts her way over the top! Cheers Nicole! read more

Nicole has been amazing! We are first time home buyers and she guided us through the whole process and helped us close on our very first offer, getting us a great deal. Nicole was constantly on top of every single detail, constantly calling lenders, sellers agents and the escrow company making sure everything was on track. They accepted our offer within hours and we closed in 15 days!! But not just that: Nicole had a ton of suggestions for our new home, and went above and beyond finding us contractors, calling to schedule a necessary fumigation, and even forwarding us ideas for window treatments! Along the way she was patient, thoughtful and respectful of our time. We are probably not buying another house for a while now, but if you are, don't hesitate to consider Nicole as your realtor! read more

"Nicole Gurries is our lucky charm!!!! We got one of the best deal in the neighborhood and had a great experience with Nicole. With skilled negotiation, she got the seller to accept terms we felt comfortable with - in a seller's market. The level of professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to every detail we received made all of the difference for us. Even after closing Nicole helped us to settle down in our new home by hauling away the unwanted things, getting quotes from the contractors, etc. Nicole is very capable, competent and patient, we recommend her highly and would encourage you to consider her as your Realtor." read more

Nicole is amazing!!! We worked together at Facebook and she represented everything a great recruiter should be: excellent follow-up, negotiation skills, naturally inquisitive, perseverance/grit, customer service, honesty, transparency, and guidance. Her skills translated very well as a real estate agent. I reached out to Nicole knowing that we would be in great hands. We were looking to buy our second home, and wanted to purchase in Livermore. The experience was so much better than my first home. I still remember her asking me how much info I wanted to know throughout the process even if I purchased a home before. Nicole was knowledgeable and gave me enough info in every step. She made sure that all appointments/appraisals were done in a timely manner as well as making sure to give regular updates of where we were within the negotiations and closing stages. Nicole also went above and beyond by providing utility companies, contractors for plumbing, landscaping, and electrical as well as recommendations on local hotspots. Nicole is a remarkable real estate agent, and you won't be disappointed working with her. I highly recommend Nicole. read more

Nicole is a Realtor par excellence! We have worked with a couple of realtors in the past and have never experienced the level of service, responsiveness and attention that we have received from Nicole. She is extremely patient and considerate and we could not have landed our home without her help and support! We are eternally grateful to her and will recommend her to all our friends and family. read more

Nicole is a fantastic agent and knows exactly what it takes to help her clients succeed in a challenging market. We had a financed offer and were competing against cash buyers. Her market knowledge and negotiating skills were crucial to our successful purchase. I will recommend Nicole to friends/family/coworkers without any reservation! read more

Nicole and I worked together on an investment house and she was a blast to work with! She was always available, brought in other experts if she didn't know something, was on top of the game, thanks to her suggestions we were able to outbid others by a small margin and finally after inspections ended up paying similar to the highest bid. She also clearly called out the additional work that needs to be done and put us in touch with the right people through her amazing set of contacts. Overall, i would absolutely work with her again and leverage her expertise and energy in any real estate deals and highly highly recommend her. read more

I sold my home in Blossom Valley, San Jose back in April. It was an emotional time being that my last child was leaving for college and I found myself with 15 +years of memories and items that were hard to part with. Nicole held my hand and walked me through the process of selling my home. She listened and gave me the space, time and help I needed to downsize and de-clutter. Nicole had experienced trades persons to help with some aesthetic repairs that were needed and also volunteered her own time to help move things out of the garage. She's professional and experienced and had my best interest at heart. We had the opportunity to accept an offer even before we had it opened for viewing (coming soon sign outside) and decided it wasn't in my best interest and then sold it 4 days later for higher amount. She's a strategic negotiator and very thorough and detailed. When dealing with real estate contracts you must cross every T and dot every I. I would highly recommend Nicole Gurries if you're interested in selling or buying your new home. read more
