TESTIMONIALS
I’ve bought and sold a lot of homes and have had some good and some bad experiences. must say that my experience with Nicole was the best I’ve had to date. She worked her butt off on behalf of my family and that alone meant the world to us. never for a minute felt like I was a transaction for her, but someone she cared about. She took the time to get to know my family and understand our very specific needs. Then did her best to find us a home and rationalize things with me on which home to buy and offer to make, etc.”
Tom Nolan, Chief Marketing & Revenue Officer at Kendra Scott
Nicole is simply one of the best there is in Austin, Texas! Her attitude, tenacity, and endless efforts put her consistently in the Elite 25. She knows nearly everyone here in town and does a great job with each new project. She has represented me on acquisitions and sales. Nicole will get the job done in ANY market cycle.”
Blake Houston, President at Blake Houston Homes, LLC
highly recommend Nicole! We sold a lovely home through Nicole’s expert advice, patience, and persistence. She brought good advice gained through extensive experience in the high-end market of central Austin. Hard working, pleasant and thorough. A joy to work with.”
