Nikki Shorts

My husband and I had a wonderful and successful experience with Nikki Shorts at Grate Real Estate! We moved to Long Beach from Glendale, CA. Nikki exceeded our expectations and was careful to address and skillfully deliver our “must-haves” regarding property type, location, amenities, and community. Her focus and depth of knowledge of the city of Long Beach and surrounding neighborhoods was expansive. She was aware of local school district information and access to residential resources. We felt safe, secure, and comforted by her warm and welcoming personality. Nikki Shorts is a top tier real estate expert. In total, we toured 26 properties and ended up “winning” the one we wanted most! She strategically scheduled multiple showings and kept a clean and easy to navigate list of properties with pros, cons, and other important information including home stats, HOA dues, and parking spaces available. We were introduced to Nikki by a friend and we couldn’t be happier with the relationship and results she produced. Nikki communicates with homeowners, sellers, buyers, and property managers with integrity and professionalism. She was on time, focused, and truly dedicated to helping us discover our happiness in a new home. Her negotiation skills and real estate technical field knowledge was extensive. She “held our hand” through the emotional processes of purchasing a new home (our 1st together!). Through it all, she never grew impatient or indifferent. We appreciate Nikki Short’s hard work and dedication so much!

If you need a trustworthy realtor, Nikki Shorts is your person! Nikki made the home-buying experience enjoyable! She was available 24/7 during the process to answer all of my questions. Nikki did her research & negotiated a fair price for my home. She patiently listened to my needs and helped me find the house of my dreams. I highly recommend Nikki Shorts, she has a wealth of knowledge & experience.

Nikki has helped us navigate both selling our home and looking to purchase our next home in the crazy LA housing market. She has been with us through all the ups and downs and unknowns that can be a part of selling/buying process and has kept our nerves steady and our many questions answered. She is incredibly hard-working, savvy, skilled, personable, calm, strategic and dynamic with all sorts of people. She has helped us troubleshoot problems and come up with solutions and has worked hard to advocate for our values and needs along the way. Nikki is incredibly effective and efficient at all that she tackles and we have been lucky to work with her. Our family couldn't recommend Nikki enough for anyone looking to buy or sell in the LA area or beyond.

We met Nikki at a listing she was helping somebody else with, and we fell in love with her easy demeanor and her calming nature with our family. She immediately sought to understand what the needs for our family were before we even talked about her representing the sale of our house. Things just got better from there. Throughout the whole process, Nikki was transparent and communicative. She would take the time to come to our home and explain every decision we were making and what the pros and cons were. She was available all hours of the day, and responded quickly. As our needs and emotions changed, so did her approach. She has an artist's sensitivity and a businesswoman's mind. She is aggressive when she needs to be but always represented our best interests. In short, Nikki creates a bespoke Real Estate experience that made us feel like she understood that it wasn't just a house we were selling, but a home and experience. You cannot go wrong by using Nikki.

Nikki did an amazing job! She was with us every step of the way to explain and help us through the process. In no time at all, we had offers way above our asking price. She gets my highest recommendation!

My experience with Nikki as my realtor was outstanding. As a first time home buyer I required more hand holding than most. Nikki helped me understand every step in the process and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I had my share of questions and Nikki's ability to research and explain things made the process much easier for me. She was able to narrow our search based on feedback, and i felt like she understood what i was looking for. With Nikki as my advocate, I was a more confident buyer. She impressed my family and I so much that any real estate transactions we conduct in the future will be through her. Hands down.
