Last year, during a very tricky market, we were simultaneously selling our Swansboro home and buying a home in Greenville. Here is what makes Steve a cut WAY above the rest: 1) Honesty/integrity- he wasn’t just trying to quickly sell us a home. Rather, he was always looking out for us to make sure we got the right home at the right price. 2) Communication- if you text or call Steve, he will always get right back to you if he can’t take your call. I don’t think we ever waited more than an hour to hear back from him, and most times, it was immediate. 3) Coaching (for lack of a better term)- Steve coaches you through the entire home buying process. Buying and selling a house can be overwhelming, but Steve is so helpful in moving his clients from a state of overwhelm to an attitude of, “I can do this!” I have known a lot of real estate agents over the years, and I can honestly say, there is simply no one better in this industry than Steve Nilsen! If you are buying or selling a home in eastern North Carolina, look no further!

Steve is an essential part of my team. He’s guided me through many transactions over the past six years. There’s no one I would trust more to advise me in purchasing or selling real estate. He is a very knowledgeable, no pressure advisor.

Stephen helped sell my property quicker than anticipated; it was in a more rural area and there were three tenants to coordinate with but he was very communicative and helpful

We were extremely happy with our service by Steve. We had a very tough sale based upon our home's unique remote location and no similar homes like ours nearby. Steve presented a creative strategy and approach in having our home marketed and exposed to potential buyers. Him and his team took excellent care of us as if we were family! They made sure all visitors respected our property while on the market whether they were buyers, agents, service people or other professionals. He ensure we received all offers and provided we placed consultation along the way. We really enjoyed our representation and would definitely use Steve again in the future. Thank you again Steve for an excellent job well done. Much love and appreciation. ~The Trent's / Corey's

Steve and Ashley were wonderful right from the initial meeting. Very down to earth and relatable. They took the time to listen and understand everything that was going on with selling our family home. Steve went above and beyond when unforeseen circumstances happened. Estates can be messy, but he guided my family and helped us make the right decisions. The home sold quickly and smoothly and he was always there to answer any crazy questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend the Nilsen team for selling a home. They'll be right with you all the way! Thank you both so much!

Having Ashley to help me as a first time homebuyer was a God send. She explained every step of the process and she was always quick to respond to any questions I had. She was very responsive and flexible in home showings.

These two are such a dynamic team full of any and all information you need for purchasing a home or an investment. They are so familiar with the area and can provide guidance in so many areas. They are so responsive and seems like they are always available. If you are looking to buy or sell Ashly and Steve are who you need.

Ashley was knowledgeable and personable throughout our first home buying experience. She was quick to respond and we always felt that she was working to benefit us. We would definitely recommend her to our friends and family! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and purchase of our first home.

Stephen Nilsen helped my son and me through the very long and stressful process of selling our home. He was professional and patient and led me through each step. I highly recommend him as a realtor.

Stephen was top notch. We went through hell and back with the buyer of our house and he helped every step of the way. He was patient and understanding and jumped through every obstacle along the way. I look forward to being able to recommend him any chance I get.

Stephen did an outstanding job with the sale of our condo. We moved out, and he did the rest with us remotely. His assistance in setting the price was spot on. His negotiation and recommendations during the sale process were again right on target. He kept us informed and communicated regularly. Thanks Stephen.. we highly recommend Stephen Nilsen.

Mr. Nilsen provided exceptional service, pointed out little details for my unexperienced eye, explained how certain building techniques were implemented and how some of the paperwork is handled. All the questions were fully answered in the timely fashion. Mr. Nilsen, has great soft skills, always courteous to us as buyers and to clients as sellers. Our communication was always welcomed and in the very friendly manner, without any pressure, and we has objective analysis on each property that we reviewed. I am looking forward to ask Mr. Nilsen for his professional service on our next purchase.
