My husband and I were referred to Nicky through one of our colleagues and worked with her to purchase a single family home in Falls Church. We had a tight timeframe and Nicky was able to deliver! We had our first call with her in early March on the day that we reached out, started seeing houses right away, and were able to close on our home in late April. This wouldnt have been possible without her connections, clear communication, and expertise. Nicky got us into multiple houses before they went live on the MLS (including the one that we purchased) and helped us to explore different neighborhoods including Alexandria, Vienna, McLean and Falls Church. Ultimately, she was the one that found our house and worked with us to get a pre-offer inspection the day after we saw it and to quickly submit an offer. We always communicated directly with her, and she was extremely responsive even when we made the decision to write at 10pm on a Sunday! Nicky navigated a challenging negotiation and closing, including a fast close and 6 week seller rent back, with grace and professionalism. She recommended a lender who was not only able to offer us the most competitive rate, but also helped us to close in 3 weeks with a jumbo mortgage. Furthermore, when the dishwasher needed repair before our final walkthrough and ultimately stopped working during the rent back, she went above and beyond to make sure that we got the replacement that we wanted at no cost to us. Overall, we were very impressed by our interactions with Nicky and would highly recommend her to others. She clearly knows the market and has abundant experience, but what sets her apart is her honesty, integrity and the ease of working with her!

We are fortunate to have met and worked with Nicky since 2012, when she helped us navigate the process of buying our family home while completing an overseas work assignment in preparation of returning to Virginia. Overcoming the challenge of time zones and distance, Nicky maintained timely and responsive communication especially with the sheer number of questions we always had. She was very thorough and provided us with a wide range of home listings to review, helped us learn about neighborhoods, school districts, commute patterns and many other factors that affected the local housing market and our housing search. Her insight was of tremendous help in narrowing our field of consideration, making what can be a stressful and difficult process of home buying more manageable once we arrived back in Virginia. Once we arrived in Virginia, she took us to a various listings we knew we really liked from having seen online and the perfect home had just become available, which we immediately fell in love with and started the process for the paperwork. She also helped us connect with a lender who worked well with us on financing once we found our perfect home. Since that time, we have continued to work with Nicky to rent out our home when job assignments have again taken us out of the area. As in our original home buying experience, Nicky has provided great advice navigating the rental process and worked closely with us to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible until we found the right family to rent out our home. Our experience with Nicky have found her to be very knowledgeable, reliable and a professional agent. Throughout the years weve had a great experience working with Nicky, weve benefited greatly from our relationship with her, and were lucky to have met her. On top of that, Nicky is just a wonderful person, always sharing great perspective on things, were very much looking forward to working with her in the future.

Her guidance on minor renovations and staging was instrumental in securing the best possible price. Her dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail truly set her apart. We wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking for a top-notch realtor.
