What People Are Saying
Nick is a very reliable realtor who'll work within your budget while being realistic. He's knowledgeable, responsive, and a good negotiator. Also very personable and easy to talk to. A great option if you're looking into a fixer upper or an investment home as he has a lot of experience with those kinds of properties. He worked with me all the way through the buying process and was an excellent guide for a first time home buyer.
This man right here is a legend. Nothing but class from him. Gotta be the coolest realtor in Rochester! We bought through a private sale, and not knowing much about the process he provided useful knowledge to my fiance and I. It comforted us knowing that we had a professional and class act individual on our side. Thank you Nick for everything!
I cannot recommend Nick highly enough! Before we linked up, I was actually pretty nervous about buying property... so much so, I wasn't really sleeping at night. Then, I linked up with Nick and I was finally able to relax. He made the whole process crystal clear and really simple to understand. Even though I'm sure he had plenty of other clients, he made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. He went above and beyond to answer all of my calls whenever I had questions about anything (no matter how stupid they may have seemed! lol). Best agent, hands down!
Nicholas was the best realtor we could ask for when buying our first home. He was knowledgeable when it came to any questions we had, he told us exactly how the process was going to go, and he always let us know when we reached a new step. It was nice to tell him the type of home my family was looking for and have him truly understand what we meant. He showed us multiple properties that checked off all the boxes until we found the right one. Once we did he was very aware of the market and surrounding properties, he helped us have confidence in our offer price so we could buy the place we wanted. We’re so thankful we chose him to help us through this journey.
My experience with Nick as my realtor was a breath of fresh air! He made a stressful process so seamless. From the beginning, Nick took the time & had a conversation as to what the process will look like. He provided clear communication, support and provided updates as to what was happening in real time with the sale- I was never left in the dark! I highly recommend Nick as your realtor if you would like an above and beyond experience from beginning to end. Thank you Nick-for everything!
Nick was an absolute pleasure to work with. I am so grateful for all the hard work and effort he put in helping us find the perfect home! He was on top of every detail, from the initial home search to the final closing. Nick is a caring realtor who was very attentive to my needs. He was patient, kind, and always answered my many questions!! Thanks again for a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend him!!!
