We entered a very difficult housing market in the Santa Barbara, Goleta area in late 2021. Nicole was our real estate agent from the beginning to the end until we bought a home. Simply put, we have had a fantastic time with Nicole. Thanks to her expert knowledge of the area, the school systems and the market, we successfully bought a dream house by Spring 2022, only a few months after we entered the market. Nicole goes above and beyond in her professionalism. Having moved to the Santa Barbara area only recently, we did not have an in-depth knowledge of the neighborhoods. Nicole's deep understanding of the market as well as all the neighborhoods of Santa Barbara/Goleta area were exceptionally helpful. On occasion, Nicole had access to properties before others, giving us a competitive advantage. Nicole being a well-known and well-connected personality, we would often meet a friend of hers or two during open-houses who would give us the scoop about a neighborhood. With Nicole, we always had access to some important detail we might have missed otherwise. During planning, offers and escrow, Nicole has shown incredible professionalism, always on time and always collegial to everyone involved in the process. We appreciated Nicole's systematic evaluations which also helped tremendously during our appraisal in a rapidly evolving market. We sincerely believe Nicole's involvement was a critical factor that worked in our favor in a competitive market. Above all, Nicole made the process fun and friendly. We were never stressed and always enjoyed the ride with her. Nicole never pressured us even on the tiniest decision, she let us figure out everything ourselves while managing to give her best possible advice on just about anything. We extend Nicole our strongest possible recommendation. You will have a great experience with her.
