Buying our first home was so intimidating, and we are so grateful we met Nicole! After meeting a few agents through some open houses, we knew Nicole was our person when it came time to start the home buying process. She is professional, knowledgeable, honest, and so kind. The process felt daunting at first, but we always felt comfortable with Nicole. She was so helpful, always available (day or night!) and was so patient with all the millions of questions we had. She really does get the best for her clients, and we have been floored with the experience from day 1. With our quick close, she was able to get all of our inspections in less than 24 hours. Incredible! We love our new home -- but will miss working with her! Can't recommend enough. read more

I would pick Nicole for my real estate journey every time! I was hesitant to get started on this process since I had never bought a home before, but Nicole made it really easy with her knowledge of the area we were searching, and her expertise in the buying process. Any time I had a question she responded quickly and was available for phone calls. She not only helped me search but gave advice when asked. She made me feel confident in my choices. She is there to help support your goal, be it an investment property, or forever home. She also spoke up when she knew what needed to be done during negotiations. I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm so grateful to have found her! read more

Nicole is a true professional and such a delight to work with. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free and I felt confident leaving everything in her capable hands. Not only did she fulfill what was necessary, but she also went above and beyond what was expected. She will give her professional suggestions when asked, and will never pressure you into making decisions you do not want. She is extremely knowledgeable and it shows in how efficient and effective she works. Whenever I needed to hire anyone to work on my house, she always had recommendations at hand. I was satisfied with every contractor I used based on her recommendations. She also made sure that I was always informed of the next step of the process and what was needed from me. If I had any questions or requests, Nicole was always available to communicate with me in a timely manner. She was very honest and respectful throughout all our interactions. I appreciate and am more than happy to have had Nicole representing as my sellers agent and would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

Nicole is one of the BEST if not THE BEST Real Estate Agent there is. She is deeply passionate about what she does and goes way above and beyond what is expected. Such a warm and genuine person! Our home buying journey started in October 2019 when we met Nicole for the first time. I and my wife have put off moving for about 15 years for all sorts of reasons. But, we know that the main reason was we were afraid that we couldn't find the right real estate agent to help us fulfill our "wish-list" in a home... the "dream house" we have thought for so long. In that first meeting, she took to heart our "wish-list" and showed us the plan to make this "dream" a reality. And so it began... tirelessly showing us houses after houses, sending letters, adjusting with our schedule, while getting our then house in the market. Then March 19, 2020 happened - the day of the mandatory statewide stay at home order- the Open House scheduled on that Sunday became a virtual open house. The first time ever and we got three offers above the asking price! Thank goodness we already found our "dream house" which was off market - thanks to Nicole's steady and earnest efforts. With COVID ranging on, family tragedies and hardships, we finally closed on THE house on June 2020 and sold our house on September. The process was one for the books, indeed! If not for Nicole, we would not have pulled through. Her patience, constant encouragement, positivity, even-keeled approach to problem solving and availability to all our questions made all the difference. So, do we recommend Nicole Lynn Niquette ? A more than a million times "YES!" She is what we needed in a real estate agent and MORE. We couldn't be more happier. Thank you, Nicole Lynn Niquette, for all that you do! read more

Nicole Niquette - Compass - Our former home! - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

My family and me were very fortunate to have our paths crossed with Nicole. Introduced by friends who worked with her to buy their own house, we found Nicole very approachable and amicable. When we decided to buy a house we reached out to her and thanks to her positive service attitude, business knowledge, outstanding network in the house buying environment (finance, inspections) we were able to secure a home. We will recommend Nicole every time! read more

Nicole helped us buy our first home :) She is very responsive, honest, and straightforward. She entertained and answered all our questions no matter how big or silly and made the first time home buying process as easy can as could be, especially during a pandemic. Her positivity, guidance and calmness make Nicole very easy to work with. Hope to work with her again in the future! read more

I'm going to try and say this without relying on a lot of hyperbole and exclamation marks. That's gonna be hard to do, by the way. I've worked with Nicole for over 4 years now. When my job relocated me, I hired her to find a tenant and help advise me on becoming a landlord. She was incredible. She found me an A-List tenant and often helped with handling items I couldn't (because I moved out of town). The time came for me to sell the place, and Nicole was my first - and only - choice to handle the situation. I couldn't make a lot of trips back to take care of things - not to mention I didn't need to because I had Nicole on my team. When COVID-19 shut down everything, I was near panic with what I would do and how long it would be before we could start listing and showing it - and even how would we do that, given the communicable issues of the disease. Nicole helped me keep my cool. She knew what she was doing. And when the state declared Real Estate an essential business, Nicole sprang into action. She's an out-of-box thinker, and she came up with a marketing strategy that literally blew me away. She had a film crew that made a virtual tour, she set up private viewings and provided masks, disinfectants, etc. When I hit some hurdles which should've required me to be on the premises, she took care of it ALL. Nicole is a consummate professional, she knows Real Estate, she's a total people person, and she just absolutely handled everything. And my property? We had a cash offer within days of Real Estate market opening back up. D-A-Y-S. I was blown away with delight. Like I said, Nicole is absolutely the kindest, energetic, and sharpest Real Estate agent I've ever had the pleasure to work with. She's my first call on anything Real Estate. read more

Nicole was so great from start to finish (and even now-afterwards-she answers my questions). I was very anxious about renting my home and she took me through the process at the pace I wanted. She made it very easy by securing a photographer and creating an amazing video of my property. She arranged and managed all of the showings and I didn't have to lift a finger. Within 5 days of listing, my house was rented for 18 months at full asking price! Oh, and did I mention that she did this ALL while 8.5 months pregnant? Super rockstar read more

Nicole was honestly the best agent that we could have asked for. Buying a home is a daunting process, especially when you don't live the in the city that you are moving to. Nicole was able to set up all the viewing appointments for the short time we had to look and worked magic to get us into homes that weren't available for viewings. When we did not find the perfect house while we were in LA she began the touring homes for us and found the perfect spot. She managed all of the inspections and worked closely with the sellers, mortgage and escrow companies so when we had times where there is a bump in the road she always had a solution ready and waiting for us that worked for everyone involved. She is kind easy to talk to and you can tell that everyone likes working with her! If you are looking for a honest, quick to respond and all around lovely agent look no further!! read more

Nicole was a consummate professional in the process of selling our home. She developed a marketing strategy that sold our house in the first weekend for way over asking. The team that Nicole had around her gave us the utmost confidence that our sale was in good hands. We recommend her wholeheartedly. read more

We can't say enough good things about Nicole! We started looking for agents in January 2022. We reached out to her based on the other reviews we had read, saying that she goes above and beyond to help her clients. We interviewed several other agents, but she was the only one who gave us a positive outlook on today's market. Other agents told us to set our sights lower. Nicole was realistic about the challenges, but was optimistic that we could find what we were looking for in one of our South Bay dream areas. The way things are today, you really need that optimism to keep you going! Nicole is great at explaining the house hunt and home buying process (first time buyers here!). We were especially thankful for her expertise during our escrow. She walked us through all our questions during the paperwork and helped us feel confident that we were understanding every step. We had a 20 day escrow, and it was so helpful having Nicole's connections to inspectors who had a quick turn around and were reliable. Being able to make the quick escrow happen set us apart from other offers. We closed on our house beginning of March 2022. We highly recommend Nicole, especially in this competitive market! read more

Had an amazing experience purchasing my first home with Nicole! She was the BEST! Some context- I spent the first few weeks of my home search also looking for a good realtor. Spoke with probably half a dozen and none seemed like a good fit. As soon as I met Nicole I knew she was a professional. When you're dealing with the best in the industry you can just tell! I agreed to work with her exclusively and she did not disappoint. Exceeded expectations for sure. She really wanted to find out what I wanted in a home. And she had me booked for appointment after appointment matching my criteria until we found something I loved. No rushing, no pressure. Was very thorough throughout the whole buying process, made sure I understood all the steps and whatever was next. Would highly recommend for an overall great first time home buying experience! read more

Uninvited visits, knocks on the door, ringing doorbells...couldn't be more annoying... Waking up babies, and dogs, and interrupting people who work from home... no thanks! I totally get that businesses need to drum up new customers but it's just wrong to enter the closed gate of a private home in a community that doesn't allow solicitation, unannounced, and disturb the residents. I put five stars because Nicole was polite and means well and I completely respect the hustle and I might even call her when I want to buy/sell a property. But for the love of Pete and all that Is holy, please do not stroll up to my home and wake my dog or sick kids up! Geez. read more

Nicole is an absolute dream agent to work with. She assisted me in both the purchase of my new home and setting up my former home as a rental. In each step of the process she continued to impress me with her professionalism, response time and support to eliminate the stress. When I say she's professional, she's ON IT! She's extremely organized, comes prepared and makes you feel like you're the only client she's working with. I felt extremely taken care of with her level of service, communication and care. I always felt like Nicole had my best interest in mind, as she continued to be my biggest advocate without the pressure to buy. She always wanted what was best for me and didn't pressure me to make an offer or move forward in each step unless I felt comfortable. It's clear that she enjoys educating her clients at each step, as she made sure my questions were answered and I felt good about everything. Her positive attitude is unmatched and has a can-do attitude about every problem big or small. Nicole has a big heart and loves what she does and it shows in the way she works with her clients. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Nicole went above and beyond in every aspect to help me find and close on my home. She is amazing!

My wife and I were getting pretty discouraged by the difficult rental market on the westside until we somehow found the incredible Nicole. She was super knowledgeable, friendly, and unrelenting in her efforts to help us find what we were looking for. And sure enough, we were able to find the PERFECT place. We are so happy with our new condo and we could not have done this without Nicole. I highly recommend her for all of your real estate needs. Professional, friendly, and gets results. read more

Nicole was AMAZING! She was so professional, on top of every detail, available For any and everything, and guided us through it ALL! She made the house hunting process easy and pulled us through a difficult escrow all while remaining positive, upbeat, and calm through the whole ordeal (which is exactly what I needed)! Her thoughtful details and finishing touches were the icing on the cake!! This would NOT have happened with out her! I cannot recommend Nicole enough 1000/10!! Thank you, Nicole! read more

Nicole was an instant partner in our search and expedited finding us a home as we were relocating to LA from SF. She went above and beyond to get in front of the market. It was Nicole's swift style, precision in knowing what we were looking for and measured offer approach that got our offer accepted without a bidding war and just being on the market for 12 hours. She even went to the house viewing on her birthday and sent videos. To top it off, she managed our inspections on our behalf and was so sweet to leave us our house literally wrapped in a bow. I will not work with another agent ever again. read more

Nicole is a dream realtor. Why? She listened carefully, targeted premarket deals, hustled hard, and only showed us houses that met our must-haves, under our price ceiling. She saved us a ton of wasted time and wasted trips compared to other realtors we have worked with. There was no sorting through tens of listings each week. Nicole distilled our desires and honed in on the one or two places she knew we would love. After every visit, she would ask pertinent questions so that the next place we checked out would suit us even better. This process constantly improved our search. In less than two months from our first conversation to MOVE-IN (!), she found us the perfect home, in our preferred area, for a price we couldn't believe. Nicole has an energy and persistence few others can match. No wonder she sold 30 HOMES last year. Nicole is a friendly power seller! Can't wait to work with her again. read more

Nicole is an amazing realtor, and we would highly recommend her to all our friends who are looking to purchase or sell a home! It's hard to believe that our first meeting to discuss home buying was only 2 months ago. At that time, we really didn't know what to expect. As first-time home buyers we were cautious of the current market and didn't have high expectations. Nicole asked us to set a goal for when we would like to be in our new home, and we decided that 6 months sounded like a realistic and yet optimistic goal. We never imagined that we would be *closing* on our first home within 2 months of that meeting! Nicole has been our coach, cheerleader, counselor, and friend through this stressful and exciting process. We appreciate her work ethic, hustle, communication, and positive approach. She was always available to us and often worked late in the evening to ensure that offers and other paperwork were completed in a very timely manner. She wouldn't hesitate to drive from the South Bay to Long Beach any day of the week for open house viewings. We're confident that the reason we closed so quickly was largely due to her tenacity, communication with the other parties involved (realtor, lender, broker), and her personal approach. She is extremely professional and goes above and beyond for her clients. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience; we will be reaching out to Nicole when we're ready for our next move! - Patricia and Chris read more

Nicole was an incredible agent to work with. We were really particular about what we were looking for & she hustled to try to find us our dream home. She made herself available, was a great communicator, and was really resourceful. She knows the South Bay Area & is a great partner to lean on with strong attention to detail. She's not pushy & takes feedback seriously. We highly recommend working with Nicole to find your next new home! read more

Nicole is a great agent! She is very kind, patient, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. My husband and I were introduced to Nicole by a mutual friend. We were clueless about the home buying process, but Nicole helped break down every process for us. From the loan process, offer process, escrow, home inspections, and HOA. She also connected us with an electrician, flooring company, and closet company. We successfully were able to purchase our first condo in Sherman Oaks. She was always on top of Everything. We also appreciated that she was easy to get a hold of and responded quickly to all our questions. We couldn't have done this without all her help. We strongly recommend Nicole as your real estate agent! read more

We had the best experience buying our first house with Nicole. She was always ready to help us and whenever we asked her to see a new listed house she would do whatever it took to get us an appointment on the same week. She was always on time and very patient. She understood our needs as a family and our concerns, and since the beginning of the process (it took us 5 months to find a house) she took us seriously. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is considering on buying a house and I certainly will contact her the next time we want to sell/buy a house. read more

Nicole was AMAZING to work with! We are first time home buyers and Nicole help guide us through the process and was always quick to respond. She outlined the process for us and always there to answer questions no matter how big or small. She made the buying process not so daunting and really pushed to get us into our AMAZING house. I feel so fortunate and lucky to have been able to been referred to her and would recommend her to ANYONE! She would go to houses that me or my husband were not able to attend and always was flexible to our schedule! read more

Nicole helped me and my husband find a rental property and she was amazing to work with! She was extremely responsive to us all the time and great about following up with us and/or listing agents we were communicating with. There was not a lot available in the rental market we were looking in and she went above and beyond by reaching out to other contacts to find additional options. I always felt like a priority to her. You can tell she loves what does and loves to help people. Highly recommend to anyone! read more

Grateful is what comes to mind when I think of Nicole Niquette, the realtor I used when searching for and ultimately purchasing my home. When I first thought I wanted to purchase a home, it was years ago. I was referred to Nicole, and with her team they immediately took action to get everything in place even before physically viewing any properties. At that time, when actually taking the steps towards my goal, I personally became apprehensive and didn't feel ready. I decided to back off before becoming too invested in the process, and not to waste everyone's time. This next part is really amazing to me. Nicole graciously stepped back with kindness, no pushiness or infliction of shame, and absolutely no judgements. I decided to move to a different apartment and believed I could be happy simply renting. After years of living apartment life with ear plugs and continual large rent raises, I hit a mortgage-level monthly rent payment and began casually looking. Amazingly, a beautiful condo that was only listed on the market for a few days was found. In less than 24 hours, Nicole was able to get a walk through. Apprehensive again about a mortgage payment and monthly outgoing expenses, Nicole knew exactly what to offer, and then what to counter-offer. It was in her hands. Needless to say, I'm here in my beautiful new home, paying $14 less than the rent I was paying. That's so funny to me... Fourteen dollars! I'm so grateful. Thank you Nicole! read more

We could not have purchased our dream home without Nicole. We entered into this process with zero experience and knew we needed someone who would be flexible, knowledgeable, and supportive to us through the process. Nicole exceeded our expectations. We purchased in the mountains and there were so many unexpected circumstances that popped up during our search. Nicole was calm yet proactive, she communicated everything to us through the process and presented us with options for each situation. She navigated uncharted territory with confidence and helped us get to a point where we felt comfortable moving forward. Once escrow began Nicole jumped into action. She had everything scheduled, all communication between lender and the escrow company ready to go in a couple days and helped us to close on time even with shorter contingency periods. See, look at me using cool real estate words! She taught us SO much. If you want someone who will fight for you, communicate well, and listen to all your needs, even if they seem crazy, Nicole is the agent you want to work with. Thank you Nicole for such an amazing experience, we couldn't have done it without you! read more

We ended up searching for our home during COVID when inventory was low and prices were sky rocketing. We were also very indecisive in our search area. Nicole was wonderful throughout the process, helping us remain positive and confident, despite the stressful market and always maximizing our time together when looking at listings. She was so accommodating when we changed our minds about our search area because she was clearly willing to help us find the best situation and home for our family. I would highly recommend Nicole as a Real Estate agent. She is friendly, respectful, hardworking, and strategic and most importantly, she will not stop until you find what you are looking for. read more

Had an Ideal experience working with Nicole. She got us everything we wanted and more! Made the entire process so easy for us! Her level of energy, professionalism, and attention to detail, is unmatched. read more

This is my second time working with Nicole, this time as the seller. The sale was executed perfectly. The preparation for open house was great, including staging and cleaning. The open houses brought a ton of potential buyers from which we had multiple offers on the first day and ultimately had a contract signed in 3 days and closed in 14 days. Unheard of! Nicole is truly making her mark in SoCal real estate. read more

Nicole was a fantastic real estate agent and always so quick to respond! Highly recommend working with her!!

My husband and I love Nicole! She sold and bought for us in Hermosa Beach. In terms of selling, she is very proactive about creating a market when there seems to be none. While other properties were moving slowly, she generated excitement for our condo that we got four bids with two above asking within 10 days of listing. She consults with many professionals to package the property correctly. Then in terms of buying, HB is finicky as some houses are hot while others stay in the market forever. We saw a house we wanted and everyone else wanted - it just had one weekend showing and already set a deadline on Monday evening. We bid and were selected despite the fact that we were outbid by three over asking all cash offers. Nicole helped that happen... she is so professional and always on top of it. In terms of what it is like to work with her, she is available to answer questions all the time - her type A, go getter self is the kind of person anyone will want for a realtor! read more

Echo the 5-star sentiments of those who have already posted reviews, I'm not at all surprised at their experiences. Only worked with Nicole for a short time but my fiancée and I were enormously impressed with her enthusiasm, thoroughness and follow up. Nicole's very professional and kind demeanor with her refreshingly committed hustle and enthusiasm was noticed immediately. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent. read more

Let me start off with saying Nicole is amazing. Her personality coupled with her strong real estate acumen and detail made her an angel-sent for me. She was able to accomplish in 3 weeks what my old agent could do in 3 months. And she did it with a smile despite how hectic things got. She will be my "go to" from now on. read more

Nicole was terrific in helping me secure my first California property -- not to mention helping do so while I was still out of state. Her responsiveness was tremendous, she visited properties on my behalf and was more than willing to share details about different neighborhoods I would not have known myself as an out-of-state client relocating to the area. I look forward to working with her again. read more

I hired Nicole to sell my mother's house in West Los Angeles, CA. Nicole is amazing. I live in another state, and Nicole handled the entire process, taking care of every little detail, and made it very easy and simple for me. The house had tenants, and she was incredibly thoughtful and helpful, communicating with them and with me to coordinate the preparation of the home and the open houses. The tenants even made a point of complimenting her to me! Nicole clearly has a lot of experience, knew just how to price and show the house to attract as many offers as possible. Even though Winter is not the best time to sell a property, we had 10 offers within days after the first open house and were in escrow within the week, for more than our asking price! Nicole's experience, enthusiasm and professionalism made it all happen. I could not recommend her more highly. read more

Overall really good experience with Nicole and would highly recommend her. We have worked with several other agents but what makes her stand out is how she cares for her clients and is willing to go above and beyond to make the home buying process the smoothest possible. She was always patient even though we were picky and never pressured us. We were doing a 1031 exchange and she walked us through everything from the search process all the way through to getting us in touch with the right people for the 1031 exchange and even finding us wonderful tenants for the unit. Additionally, she goes beyond her job description with providing exceptional services even after the sale. She does not come across as just trying to get the sale and her cut, but also genuinely cares about her clients even post sale. read more

I'm a first time home buyer and my budget was on the smaller side, so in my search for a new realtor, I was worried about finding someone who would work hard for a smaller sale. But Nicole was amazing to work with and made me feel like I was her top priority... She's smart, personable, friendly, and responsive... even when I would text her at 10 pm or 7 am, she would get back to me right away. She impressed me right from the beginning with her creative methods to finding the home I wanted. When we found a condo I wasn't crazy about in a development I loved, she came up with the idea of approaching the owners of other condos in the complex to see if they were interested in selling. I loved that kind of "out of the box" thinking and her go-getter attitude. From past experiences in searching for a home I've learned how important it is to choose your realtor carefully... they can make or break the sale. Nicole is a strong partner to have on your side and I'm grateful I found her... she helped me find the perfect place in record time, helped walk me through the negotiations and even got me some money back from the sellers during escrow. I enjoyed working with her and love my new house. Highly recommend her! read more

Nicole is an incredible realtor! We just bought our first house in this insanely competitive market and I am SO thankful we had Nicole throughout this process. She's incredibly knowledgeable about the home buying process and mortgage industry, was a pro at hitting the right dollar amount for our offer, and was very patient with the never ending questions we had as first time home buyers. Our wish list seemed to be above our budget, but Nicole was able to find us our dream house that checked every single box we had and then some, in the exact neighborhood we wanted and well in our price range. Beyond that, Nicole is so sweet and thoughtful and put a ton of time into building a relationship with us and tailoring the experience to our needs. We've spread the word to our friends and will absolutely use Nicole for any future real estate needs we have. read more

Where do I start to sing Nicole's praises?! My husband, Eric, and I began our Playa Vista home search from knowledge learned on HGTV and Zillow. We thought we could navigate real estate on our own. When we met Nicole on a whim attending one of her open houses, we immediately meshed and inquired about Nicole's services shortly thereafter. We'd met with plenty of other real estate agents, but none made us feel like a team like Nicole did. People say they care, but Nicole showed it. She encouraged us when we felt defeated, and she fought for us to get the best representation as a buyer. Nicole's team is very informed about the neighborhoods, and she helped us negotiate a great price on our home! All the while, Nicole was patient and kind, and Eric and I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. I highly recommend Nicole as she's communicative and accessible. Whether it was email, phone, or text, she would get an answer to us lightning fast (which we learned was extremely valuable seeing how fast properties move). On top of being an amazing agent, she went above and beyond for us once we closed on our home. Unfortunately, we had a scheduling conflict and a very tight window from moving from our former residence to the new home. Nicole didn't bat an eye when she organized our move-in. I'm so thankful that we walked into that open house, as we gained a new friend! If you're looking for real estate, please see Nicole Niquette! read more
