About
Excellent Service & Superior Marketing = The Realtor Kimya Way

I am a real estate enthusiast! In addition to being a Realtor® and local homeowner, I’m also a real estate investor, landlord, and renovation project manager. As an agent, I bring the benefit of my buying, selling, and renovating expertise to aid my clients in finding their perfect home.

As your real estate professional, I am committed to making the buying, selling, or renting process smooth and transparent. It’s my job to find the answers to all of your questions, including the ones you didn’t know you had. Excellent customer service is at the core of everything I do. I’m excited to help buyers, sellers, and renters navigate the market and make their dreams a reality.

I have completed over $5 million in transactions in the last year and was recognized as a NJ Circle of Excellence Bronze Agent in 2022. Additionally, I received the Weichert Realtors 2021 Pride Award, was a member of the 2021 Weichert Realtors Million Dollar Club, and was honored as the Top Producer & Top Listing Agent at Weichert Realtors Upper Montclair in October 2022.

I highly recommend Kimya! She is resourceful, pleasant and always focused on creating solutions. She supported my family with selling a home we had for almost 30 years and she handled all communication and negotiations with patience. She was incredible from start to finish, and I am so happy that she served as my realtor. Thank you, Kimya!

Kimya Nilsen's approach to selling our home was thoughtful and strategic. She took into account our goals and personal circumstances when mapping out a sales strategy. She worked with us to position and market the sale of our home in order to maximize interest. Her guidance on pricing, staging, and market timing resulted in multiple offers and a smooth, quick closing. Kimya is social media savvy and has a strong network of professional referrals to assist clients through the moving/selling process. Kimya's communication was consistent and transparent and she was always available to assist us throughout the process. We strongly recommend Kimya Nilsen for your real estate needs!

We honestly couldn’t have done this without Kimya.

If you’re looking for a realtor who is smart, strategic, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares—Kimya Nilsen is it. From day one, she brought a level of professionalism and thoughtfulness that made us feel completely supported. She’s not just good at what she does—she’s exceptional.

What really stood out was her data-driven approach. Kimya came prepared with real numbers, clear insights on the market, and a strategy that helped us stay competitive without getting swept up in the chaos. Every move we made felt calculated and smart because she was always ten steps ahead.

Kimya kept us updated constantly, answered every question (even the ones we asked twice), and never left us guessing. We always felt in the loop, which made a huge difference during a process that can often feel overwhelming.

But what really made the experience special was her personal touch. Kimya took the time to really understand what mattered to us. She cared about our priorities, our timeline, and even the emotional rollercoaster of it all. She’s warm, intuitive, and just has this amazing way of making you feel like her only client.

Also? She’s tough. In a market where homes disappear in days and bidding wars are the norm, Kimya never backed down. She advocated fiercely for us, negotiated like a pro, and stayed calm and focused through every twist and turn.

Thanks to Kimya, we’re now in a home we absolutely love. We’re beyond grateful—and we’d recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

Kimya was exceptional in providing assistance for us to find a suitable home in W Orange. She was always available to answer our many questions by phone, text and email since our search for a new home involved relocating from Ohio to New Jersey. Kimya is very knowledgeable about the markets in which we were interested and helped us every step of the way. She was personable and patient too as we tried to understand the differences between buying in N. Jersey versus the Ohio real estate market.

I'm so grateful for Kimya Nilsen's expertise and professionalism! After a disappointing experience with another Realtor, a trusted friend highly recommended Kimya. She stepped in and delivered exceptional results, finding the ideal tenant for my rental property within just a few weeks. She had a clear plan, communicated effectively, and her team took great photos. She went above and beyond to ensure a smooth process and supported me through the lease agreement. I highly recommend Kimya - she's a true professional who truly cares about her clients.
