Nestor Icaza

Nestor was truly a pleasure to work with. He was very patient with our long process of finding our dream home. He was always prompt and available as well as very professional. Nestor helped us both buy and sell our homes and was very thourough with all of the required paperwork. I would recommend Nestor to anyone buying or selling a home. He is both gracious and generous and always makes you feel good about the transaction. He’s not pushy and won’t steer you the wrong way. Nestor was also very helpful in connecting us to professionals who were able to address needed repairs in our old home as well as professionals needed to remodel our new home. This networking was invaluable and was key in receiving a desirable offer. The process of buying and selling a home during COVID-19 was complex; however, Nestor made it very easy and put us at ease.

As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions about the home buying process and weren't sure what to expect from a realtor. Nestor easily exceeded all of our expectations by guiding us seamlessly through what can be a stressful process. He was extremely patient and helpful, and never pressured or rushed us. At the same time, he was clearly very knowledgeable about the Peninsula and SF real estate markets and shared many insights about homes and neighborhoods that we otherwise would not have known. He was very hardworking and made himself available to take our questions and offer advice at all hours. With his help, we found a home that we love, and we wouldn't hesitate to work with him again!

Nestor helped me find my first home. :) Around this time last year; I was actively searching for a condo for months and grew frustrated with the options I was left with - extremely high prices for small subpar condos and studios. That's the Bay Area for you! I was up against a very competitive market, but all it takes is a phenomenal real estate agent to help you find what you want and can afford. Nestor was the perfect realtor. He carefully listened to my needs and quickly executed, exceeding my expectations! The day after I spoke to him about my search, I get a call from him informing me that he's found the perfect condo for me, and it's off-market. I was shocked to learn that he found a condo within a day, given I've been searching for months! With his help, I got pre-approved right away, the contract sealed by the end of the week, and I closed soon after. We moved quickly, but that is how I got my condo. Nestor quickly identified a great and unique opportunity that he knew we could not pass up. I was grateful to have him by my side; otherwise, I would not have found my dream condo. Overall I had a positive experience from beginning to end with Nestor. He was very informative (walked me through the full process and contracts) and attentive from the start. He went above and beyond on many occasions to ensure everything went smoothly. If you want a realtor who's smart, has the right connections, the grit to get the job done, and the gut to help you make the right decisions - contact Nestor to help you find your new home!

Nestor made the home buying experience on the peninsula a walk in the park. When I first approached Nestor, I was daunted by the thought of purchasing my first home, but Nestor outlined the process, setup an easy to follow to-do list and spent additional time to walk me through any questions I had. Nestor was very accessible through e-mail, phone and text and responded immediately. When I had questions, Nestor demonstrated his professionalism and in-depth knowledge to ensure all my questions were answered in a timely manner. Nestor was very involved and paid careful attention to what I was looking for in a home to ensure that the home aligned with my expectations. When the time came for visiting properties, Nestor setup appointments that worked with my busy schedule and ensured the visits went smoothly. Nestor also provided an honest perspective as to the pros and cons of the properties we viewed as well as potentials concerns that I would have never thought of. This was very important as I didn’t feel he was trying to make a quick sale but rather help find the perfect home for me while establishing real expectations of the various locations. Overall, I would highly recommend working with Nestor as he has mastered the process and will provide valuable insight along the way that I wouldn’t want to risk with another realtor. Starting the home-buying process was a scary step, but Nestor made it easy and helped put me in the home I had always wanted. Nestor was there with me every step of the way throughout the process and I wouldn't recommend any other realtor when going through this process.
