Nicole is the ultimate professional. She is prompt, aggressive, and extremely straight forward. What makes her stand out is that she also takes the time to truly understand what her client is looking for, does thorough research, and sends homes she truly believes are a fit. Just an absolute pleasure to work with!
Nicole not only provided us with targeted listings for homes in the Auburn and surrounding communities, she also provided us with her own longtime resident insights, introduced us to local residents, and researched for answers to any questions we had. Since we were buying an acreage after living in suburbia for most of our lives, there was much to learn. Nicole shared details from her own acreage ownership experience and even got us access to tour homes that were already in escrow to help us to learn about comparable homes in the area and educate us to set expectations and.or tradeoffs to expect with various aspects of each of these complex properties (i.e. city water vs well, health of trees on the property, value and/or risks of non-house items such as fences, driveways, outbuildings, etc). Nicole provides help researching home inspectors, pest inspectors, someone to inspect and certify the pool, septic, and other aspects of the property, found out who provided Internet (a challenge in rural areas) and even did some research on property insurance providers (again, a challenge in rural areas). During the negotiations and escrow period, Nicole acted almost as our lawyer advising on which inspections are critical and working with us to interpret them. We actually canceled one escrow that we all agreed turned out not to be as good a deal as originally anticipated. Nicole earned trust by advising us to walk away from this risky deal even though it resulted in lost commission and more work for her. The house we eventually purchased was much better for our needs and, once again, Nicole was fully on our side in ensuring the repairs were completed/confirmed and that we received full credit for items not fixed.
Nicole was wonderful to work with. She helped me sell my house and purchase my dream home. She was very professional and so understanding when I got stressed out. She was so accommodating working around my schedule. She is so kind, after I moved she went by the old house to collect the mail and deliver it to me. I highly recommend her if you are buying or selling a home.
Nicole was absolutely wonderful. We met her at a house she was showing. It wasn’t the house for us but we had found the perfect realtor for us. From the moment we met her she was warm and inviting, very professional, and answered all of our questions. She was so accomodating to our schedules and was always just a text away if we had any questions. She treated us like one of her friends and not just a client. Honestly can’t say enough good things about our experience with her.
Nicole helped us market and sell a home in Grass Valley that my family had inherited. None of us lived in the vicinity of Auburn/Grass Valley and had no knowledge of the market. The home was in a state of disrepair, and Nicole went beyond the call of duty and masterminded the transformation of the home from start to finish, enabling the property to be put on the market during the summer months, which was our goal. She took care of recommending and scheduling junk haulers, painters, roof contractors, deck contractors, carpet installers, stagers and all necessary inspections, and arranged for a seamless escrow. She and Laurie Whitton together helped strategize how best to respond to the several offers that were made on the property. She was cheerful, responsive and a great communicator. A delight to work with, I would recommend her highly!
Amazing buying experience. We had a knowledgable advocate in our corner making sure the entire negotiation and buying experience - and close process was flawless. Nicole is an energetic, highly professional agent - with extraordinary area knowledge & communication skills. Highest marks and would fully expect to work with her again when that next chapter comes around.
Nicole was wonderful to work with! She was a professional throughout the whole process of buying our first home. She was very detailed, organized, and walked us through the process step by step. She was mindful of deadlines, due dates, etc. She found us our home the first weekend we went looking - she heard what we wanted, executed the search accordingly, and was able to find us the perfect home quickly and efficiently. Through her creative process of writing up our offer, she was able to make our offer look attractive amongst numerous buyers. We have continued to stay in communication post-sale, and she continues to be a great help with questions we have had after move-in. We could not have done it without her!
We're from the Bay Area and were looking to move into Auburn. Just as a point of reference, I have bought and sold 5 houses in the Mtn View/Cupertino/Los Gatos area. Most have gone smoothly, but I've dealt with a few transactions as a buyer that were nightmares. I'm very happy to say that this transaction was wonderful. n nWe met Nicole at an open house and were immediately impressed. She was very responsive when we contacted her a few weeks later. She immediately set up an online portal of houses that met our criteria. Since we weren't local, we relied on her to check out the houses of interest and report back. n nWe did set up a few days of house viewings over several months. It was great having a local expert to discuss things like septic systems, wells, propane, and Cal Fire for us Bay Area folk that don't deal with such things. n nEventually we found our new home. Nicole handled the offer and escrow with ease. I was especially impressed by how picky she was during the home inspection - just what you want in a buyer's agent! She made sure that all of our concerns were taken care. We weren't able to be in Auburn for the final inspection, so we did it with Nicole over Facetime – gotta love technology. Our new home and neighborhood are awesome. n nI am recommending Nicole to my sister who is also thinking of moving to the area. I would recommend her to you too!
I have bought and sold a few homes in my live, but I have never encountered such a professional and personable individual as Nicole Spencer. She is very knowledgeable and up to date on all the processes associated with real estate. Nicole assisted my wife and I with the sale of a home in Roseville and the purchase of a new one in Auburn. She was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. Nicole was really organized and structured in everything that she did for us. She ensured we understood the steps associated with each transactions. I would highly recommend her as your agent. Nicole is a very sincere individual that really cares about her clients. We have only known her a few months, but we already consider her a friend and not just our agent.
