People say you shouldn't mix family or friends with business, but I'm so glad I didn't listen to them. What better person to invest such trust and confidence in, such a monumental sale, than my lifelong friend? Nichole and I were born only days apart to parents who had been friends for many years prior. Selling your childhood home triangulating between my brother and sister-in-law in the Pacific NW, Nichole in San Marino, and my wife and me in Maryland, not long after the death of our mother is an emotional roller coaster, fraught with landmines of every kind to be sure. Nichole cleared them well before we were about to step on one and led us through the unfamiliar San Gabriel Valley real estate terrain with an abundance of TLC and so much patience that it was not only a painless process, but actually culminated in a beautiful capstone. She helped me get the closure I needed by arranging for a champagne hand-off and 1.5 hour house tour complete with snapshots arm in arm with the new owners exchanging hugs and contact info as we parted. I could not have asked for more. I cannot recommend Nichole highly enough to sellers who want top dollar and a realtor with astute sale-prep, staging eye, landscaping design prowess and savvy negotiating chops. Do not hesitate to engage Nichole Dunville as your real estate agent; you will be sorely impressed.
