We loved working with Nicky!! My husband and I had a tricky situationaEUR|we made an offer on a house the first weekend we started looking and we got it. Be careful what you wish for. We then had to quickly prep our current home in an effort to get it on the market ASAP. Nicky McDonnell was a Godsend for both transactions. We were in a bidding war for the first home and she kept us calm and reasonable through that painful process. Nickys sense of what todays buyer is looking for helped us plan some strategic renovations before we were ready to put our house on the market. Her network of contractors made it possible to get everything completed and staged in a month. Which is a monumental task. We had a contract on our old home the first weekend in went on, which was incidentally, was the same weekend we closed and moved into our new home. We had one serious contingency for the house we were selling and once again, Nickys network provided just the right contractor to clear the contingency prior to the 30 day close. Not an easy task! She deftly worked with our other contractors to help clear all of the contingencies requested from a nervous first time buyer and for that we are eternally thankful. You cannot work with a savvier and level-headed realtor than Nicky McDonnell. Oh, and did we mention? A darn nice, down to earth person as well.

Nicky went above and beyond from the first moment we reached out about a very spontaneous, pandemic-inspired, competitive transaction. She referred us to a wonderful person for pre-approval, she helped us see the home before the open house, and she suggested a pre-inspection (which we had never heard of) that definitely seemed to be a deciding factor in our favor. Nicky then sold our house shortly afterward, with no fuss or stress, and multiple offers. Buying and selling homes is supposed to be stressful, but not with Nicky as your agent! Everything was smooth sailing, she knows the market, and is widely respected by buyers, sellers and others in the business as classy, fair, honest and charming. You will be lucky and relieved to have her in your corner. We certainly were.

Nicky has lived in Northern VA for a number of years and has an outstanding knowledge of neighborhoods from the best school districts to local amenities to property value. We purchased a home through her - then rented it with her expertise and have now sold the home with Nicky as our agent throughout. We currently line in AZ and Nicky did the walk through with our renters for the move out - hired a top notch contractor to paint and make repairs to ready the house for sale - helped negotiate pricing with contractor - reviewed work of a siding contractor and checked on and handled follow up on a number of closing details. Nicky is a top notch professional who also cares a great deal about her clients- she is honest - has high standards/ethics and does not just go the extra mile but well beyond. You cant go wrong with Nicky - the wrong thing to do would be to go with someone else as she is the best.

Nicky guided us through two transactions in 2019 -- the sale of our beloved home of 15 years and the purchase of a new home on a smaller scale that better suited our needs. She saw to it that the home was staged beautifully and got us a fantastic offer even before the open house. That was where fun began -- the inspection turned up issues no one could see but that had to be remedied, and she was at her best during this difficult period, providing the perfect blend of "let's just get it done" determination and sympathetic handholding. She helped us keep it all in perspective, think creatively, and get to closing without missing a beat. Then she made sure we found the perfect home for our new needs and matched us up with a lender who could find the funding for a self-employed person. I recommended Nicky to two friends who had a similarly outstanding experience in selling their homes, and I would not hesitate to recommend her again. She's a great realtor who can assemble the team you need when you're selling and who will take time to really understand what you want when you're buying. Smart, savvy and dedicated to an excellent customer experience and helping you realize your goals -- that's Nicky in a nutshell.

We were so lucky to have worked with Nicky during the purchase of our first home. Her experience and expertise were invaluable as we went through the home-buying process. She understood our needs and objectives and was quick to provide creative suggestions and solutions. Her knowledge of the area was great - she was able to inform us on everything from building structures to flood zones to great local pools. Nicky was a great advocate at the bargaining table, listening to us as we identified our approach and worked to get us the best deal. She truly had our interests at heart and worked hard to get us the best deal. She was prompt to respond to our many, many questions and helped explain the intricacies of the process to us in a very accessible manner.Once we were under contract, she quickly pulled together all the necessary steps to complete the transaction. Her knowledge of inspectors, contractors, lenders and all other specialists was wonderful. Everyone she suggested working with proved to be exceptional as well. Her comprehensive list of recommendations even included suggestions for the best pizza delivery for our moving day! We truly could not have done this without her. Nicky will be our first call for all future real estate endeavors.
