My wife and I relocated to the triangle area from New York. We took a short-term apartment lease and we started house hunting immediately. We initially attempted to purchase without an agent. We quickly realized that we were't prepared to navigate the buyer process without help.
We came across Nicole's agency based on recommendations on reddit. After a few text messages, we ended up meeting Nicole at a local Starbucks to shoot the breeze and discuss our criteria.
Nicole was very accommodating in helping search for the right home. We spent several weekends running around looking at houses. Nicole was knowledgeable and accommodating. If she wasn't available, then her colleague, Justin Burleson would work with us in her absence. Nicole was very responsive. She always returned our text messages and picked up our phone calls immediately.
Nicole was very proactive in helping us get the information that we needed to make an informed decision. She would pull plot information from the town for any property that we were interested in. There were a few cases where she spoke with her friends in legal over easements, property lines, etc.
There were a few poorly maintained houses in our preferred areas. Nicole helped us sift through the bad ones. On several walkthroughs she suggested that we walk away and move onto the next. This showed us that Nicole was more interested in a happy client than a quick sale.
After a month or so of searching, we finally found a house that met our criteria. It was only on the market for a day before we made our offer. Nicole was great at negotiation. We ended up getting the house under asking price, and under the appraisal value.
I would highly recommend Nicole and her team. She was fun, energetic, and pleasant to deal with. She helped us find the right house at the right price in the right area. I used her preferred lender and her legal people, They were also a breeze to work with. This was a great experience and my wife and I thank Nicole for her time and effort. She went above and beyond in helping us find our first home. read more
