Herbie went far above and beyond at each step, from our initial meeting in August, to walking out of closing in February. He did the little things and the big things, and things he did not need to do. If I were to rate him out of 5 stars, I give him 6. I cannot recommend him strongly enough! I am highly impressed, and feel very lucky to have had him walk me through what could have been a very stressful time. Thank you so much, Herbie!

We’ve been working with Herbie for the past 3-4 years trying to find the perfect lot for our family and business — and he has been nothing short of amazing! Herbie was always quick to respond, patient, and incredibly dedicated through the entire process. Even when I sent him the same properties multiple times or changed my mind, he never made me feel like I was wasting his time. He always went above and beyond to help us understand our options and make the right choice. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients really stand out. We finally found the perfect spot, and it’s all thanks to Herbie’s hard work, knowledge and persistence. I can’t recommend him enough!

Herbie is an excellent person! Personal and professional, always willing to help with more than just the real estate transaction. He has clear and continuous communications and willing to meet in person when desired. Great negotiator between both parties. He keeps the selling process simple with very little effort from the selling party. The Nivala Team continues to support local community with sponsorships. Highly recommended!

Working with Bijay made the stressful process of buying a home so much easier. He is incredibly dedicated, often meeting us for late-night showings without a second thought. He was always available when we had questions, but the real standout quality was his loyalty. He stood his ground with the seller to make sure our concerns were heard and resolved. He’s not just looking to close a deal; he’s looking out for his clients. We are so grateful for his help!

Paul was amazing! He led us through the entire process of buying a home from start to finish. We looked at a lot of houses with Paul over the summer and he was always available to show us what we wanted to look at and when it worked for us. When we did find “the one”, he navigated us the entire offer process with ease. Paul is easy to communicate with, knowledgeable when it comes to the housing market and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure you are in the home you are meant to have!

From the very beginning, Julie was an exceptional agent to work with. We first met her at an open house in Lakeville, and right away we felt comfortable with her approach. She listened closely to what we were looking for—both the must‑haves and the nice‑to‑haves—and she quickly understood the type of home and layout that would best suit our needs. Her ability to match us with the right floor plan made the entire search and building process feel more focused and less overwhelming. Throughout the build, Julie offered thoughtful guidance based on her experience. She pointed out things that would be more cost‑effective or practical to include during construction rather than waiting to do later. Her advice saved us both time and money, and it helped us make decisions we feel truly confident about. One of the qualities we appreciated most about Julie was her quiet, professional, and calming demeanor. She never made us feel rushed or pressured. Instead, she made us feel heard, valued, and supported at every step. We always felt she was advocating for us and looking out for our best interest, from the first showing to the final details of the purchase. Julie was wonderful to work with, and we are grateful for everything she did to help us find and build our new home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to her clients.
