Highly recommend choosing Nik as your realtor! We worked with Nik to sell and buy simultaneously--a stressful situation in theory, but one that ended up working out almost perfectly! Nik used to live in the same community where I was selling. I chose him for that familiarity, and I'm glad that I did! Nik knows the market incredibly well, and he was able to balance his knowledge of real estate with what we wanted in a new home. He was always honest and frank--I felt confident that he was looking out for our best interests and not just a quick sale. He made sure we considered the long term picture and future sell-ability of our investment, and he was also able to make suggestions and even ballpark price estimates for the repairs and upgrades we would need to make in the houses we were considering. All of this was incredibly helpful in understanding the true potential (and cost!) of one house over the other. He was very accessible, just a text message away, and willing to work his schedule to get us into showings at the last minute--so important in this seller's market! After about 2 months working with Nik, we sold our condo within two days (and with multiple offers) and successfully had our offer accepted on our fantastic new house!
