Nicky is the best! I chose a pretty tricky house to purchase in a pretty market. Nicky made the whole process go so smoothly. I couldn’t more highly recommend her - and have already sent her number to everyone I know who may be in the market. She’s awesome :)
We have just completed the sale of our Orange County California rental property to my tenant. We’ve experienced two previous escrows in our lifetimes: our personal residence 52 years ago and this rental property 41 years ago. Nicky Johnson handled the transaction but only after my husband and I fired the listing agent who had opened escrow and drawn up documents reflecting many mistakes including the wrong names for the seller and a selling price missing the last three zeros (000). The selling price of a property with comparable sales of over $800,000 was less than $1,000. Our daughter suggested we use Nicky Johnson, a San Diego realtor and friend. Nicky is truly a knowledgeable, experienced realtor and patient teacher. I questioned everything. She would promptly respond making legalize simple English. When I learned that agreeing to the selling price was not the end of negotiations, Nicky was there with “this is something you have to do” or “no way, I suggest this or that”. Her patience is beyond incredible. We continued step by step always aware the next document received from the buyers might not be good news but always confident we would get through it. Selling or buying a property is a process of attaining a goal requiring knowledge and experience. Nicky Johnson is the realtor we will recommend to anyone looking to attain this goal. Jackie F
The sale of my home was challenging from the start and took several months. It would not have happened without Nicky. She was supportive, professional, patient and very good at her job, a great combination.
Nicky sold my home very quickly. We got multiple bids after the 1st weekend with two of them above asking price. Unfortunately, the first buyers changed their mind but Nicky went to work and quickly found another buyer with nearly identical terms. The inspections and closing went quite smoothly and we closed on schedule. I also needed to get an extended rent-back after close since the construction of my new home would not be completed until later in the year. She was instrumental in getting the buyers to include that in their offer.
"Nicky sold our house at top dollar, really quickly, and managed the whole process for us so it was easy from day one to close! My husband and I are both busy professionals and selling our home was daunting. Nicky reviewed not only the comps but shared some local knowledge of the market that was spot on. She gave us ideas on how to get top dollar for our home, taking the lead suggesting and managing economical and beautiful upgrades throughout our pre-sale spruce up. In addition to smart upgrades, she also staged our house so it showed beautifully. (We actually wanted to move back in after she was done.) Perhaps most importantly, Nicky managed the pricing and offers skillfully, and negotiating a great price that we believe was top of the market. Nicky is extremely trustworthy and brought a high level of integrity throughout the process. Overall, HIGHLY recommend Nicky as a top realtor in North County!"
