Ratings & Reviews
Being a first time home buyer, my husband and I were pretty picky and looked at houses for over a year. Nicole and was very responsive, attentive, and patient with us. Nicole went above and beyond what I expected in a real estate agent. I highly recommend Nicole Norwalk to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Nicole was more than helpful at every part of the selling process. She gave sound advice, was always available and definitely an industry expert. I recommend her without reservation. Nicole also helped me purchase a home in the past. I was more than happy with that service as well
As a first time homebuyer, Nicole made it very simple and easy for us! She walked up through every step, and was super quick to respond to any questions we did have. Most importantly I felt like I could trust Nicole, coming for someone who didn't think they needed a real estate agent, I now am going to recommend her to anyone who is looking. She has the experience and knowledge, but above all, Nicole is honest and really cared about what was best for us and we couldn't have done it without her.
Nicole helped us sell our Uptown condo. Her market analysis determined our condo was worth significantly more than I estimated. She recommended and helped us with several economical improvements to enhance the value. She brought her own items to improve the presentation and even helped move stuff to the basement in preparation for our open house!
Within a week of listing we had multiple offers at or above our listing price and successfully closed as scheduled.
Nicole helped my wife and I by a condo in Old Town last Spring, while we were living abroad In London. She was able to schedule 10+ showing over 2 days when we were visiting Chicago in March. She was invaluable in helping us narrow it down to a couple final contenders and set up 2nd and 3rd showings over the next 2 days. She also assisted us in getting responses from the sellers realtor, who was not always very responsive. Overall Nicole was able to show us 10+ homes and assist us in making an offer on the home we live in now over a 4 days period, a Herculean task which would not have been possible without her assistance. Nicole continued to be very helpful and responsive during the closing period when my wife and I returned to London. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a realtor in the Chicago area.
All I can say is WOW! We were very impressed with Nicole’s professionalism, personal attention, and marketing strategies. Nicole is a first class, high caliber, real estate professional. We received her personal attention almost on a daily basis. She was always available for questions, and made us feel like we were her only client. She is gifted, talented and knows the market. Our home in Bucktown sold within 12 days and all the details were taken care of by Nicole. We were totally impressed and would recommend Nicole to anyone who wants to sell their home quickly and not leave money on the table.
've used Nicole now to buy 2 homes and sell one! She is awesome hardworking and very professional! The perfect person to get the job done quickly and for the best price!!
We absolutely loved working with Nicole!
She sold our house within days and for more money than we asked. She is very professional, easy to work with, knowledgeable and hands on. She did superb work in staging our house, which definitely played a huge role in selling it so quickly.
She navigated us through the whole process flawlessly and answered any questions we had along the way.
We can’t say enough positive words about our experience working with her and will definitely recommend her to all of our friends and family.Show less
I really enjoyed working with Nicole. She was very knowledgeable and did her work to come up with a fair market value of the property. She was very professional and very responsive to my emails, phone calls and text messages considering I was working with her from Phoenix and the property was in Chicago. She also had recommendations on moving companies, remodeling companies, attorneys and title companies, which I also had quick responses from and very professional. I highly Nicole as your real estate professional.
Nicole helped me to buy my first property. She was very patient and helped walk me through all the steps that were involved. This transaction was also a short sale, so it was even more complicated for a first time buyer. Nicole got me a great deal and I was very satisfied with her responsiveness, negotiation skills, and professionalism.
Nicole was extremely helpful and insightful throughout the entire home-buying process. We were new to Chicago when beginning our condo hunt, making it imperative that my agent had a deep knowledge of the Chicagoland real estate market and strong familiarity with the offerings of its various neighborhoods. Nicole not only possessed that knowledge but was tremendously patient with us as I must have toured over 40 different units and switched back and forth between different neighborhoods; her enthusiasm never wavered and she eventually helped us find the perfect unit. She was always accommodating to my busy schedule and made herself available regardless of the day or time. Even after purchasing, Nicole has continued to serve as a resource for any issues or concerns regarding homeownership.This mirrors the experience I had during our search as she consistently went beyond what her responsibilities should have entailed. I could not be happier with or more strongly recommend Nicole.
Nicole assited us with selling our condo and purchasing our first family home in the suburbs. Throughout the selling and buying process, we encountered a couple major "bumps" along road, which resulted in an extremely stressful experience for us. Nicole was always up for the challenge and never gave up, even when situations seemed hopeless! She handled the difficult buyers, the difficult sellers and was always by our side. We appreciated her honesty, persistence and passion.
Nicole was fantastic to work with in helping my wife and I find the perfect condo for us in Chicago-Uptown. She listened to what we were looking for, but also provided valuable insight to make sure that we would end up in a home that would fit us perfectly. She was a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend her enough.
We're repeat customers! Nicole is always awesome to work with. She's extremely responsive and had great suggestions for selling our home. Throughout the negotiations and closing Nicole is there quickly handling any issues (which we have quite a lot!!!). Love, Love, Love her!!!
Nicole is truly amazing. She went above and beyond helping me even being all the way in Florida. Her personal video to me, her very detailed emails, and truly defines what it means to be a trusted advisor. Nicole brings back hope in the world there are still good people with clients being the primary focus. I would not use anyone else in Chicago and she has earned a raving fan!!
Nicole provided an excellent resource of expertise in the selling of our home. She was extremely valuable with her approach at all aspects of marketing, open house viewings as well as negotiations. I highly recommend Nicole for your next listing.
I highly recommend Nicole Norwalk. Importantly, she *likes people*, and you'll like working with her -- as well as profiting from her professional knowledge of Chicago real estate and the current market. She's effective in solving buyers and sellers problems from looking/listing to beyond closing. Because she took the time to educate us, we were confident handling offers and the deals she helped us negotiate.
Nicole is the third realtor i had come across to deal with. Indeed the other two were good or rather excellent. But then how to describe Nicole--EXCEPTIONAL I suppose.
I am a retired person moved into USA about two years back. Decided to invest into property to generate some income for my living. On some recommendations I contacted Nicole and gave her my requirements. Unlike most other agents, she did not start auto mailing me scores of properties with a wide range of price some rent able some not.
Instead she short listed some which fitted my requirement and reviewed them personally before mailing them to me, saving me frequent long drives.We only made one trip to view the properties.Out of her experience she was able to observe even the most minute pluses and minuses of every condo, keeping in mind the hoa and taxes, which made it easy for us to choose the right property. She negotiated a great deal and we rented it in only 15 days, making an 8% return. Wowww. Thank you Nicole
Nicole was my agent for a recent home purchase. She was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. I asked to see a lot of properties on short notice, and she made it happen without any issues. I have a specific taste in homes, and she was amazing at narrowing down a city worth of properties to a manageable list of perfect homes.
Nicole is the best! Couldn’t ask for a better realtor, for both the sale of our house on a very short time schedule and finding us a new place!
Nicole is just Fabulous! She is detailed, patient, persistent, and knows the world of real estate...plus her sense of style and staging goes a long way! Nicole takes ample time to make sure the sale is done, and her sense of humor helps in every situation. Love working with her!
Nicole is a Rockstar realtor and that is exactly how I would recommend her to my friends and family! If you need to buy a home and get it done, choose Nicole! She helped us purchase our home when we were upsizing. I was in the market during a tough time with less inventory due to the things I was specifically looking for. Nicole took the time to understand our needs, and was ready to set up showings on such short notice! What I liked about Nicole is that I always got key information about homes that only expert agents can gather from knowing the market and talking to seller's agents. This ensured that I never had a bid that was not accepted. Nicole was great at negotiating the best terms and always looked out for our best interest.
Post-purchase, she also provided great advice on listing our previous house for rent, which helped a lot! Overall, Nicole made our purchase process very smooth in a tough market, and I would definitely recommend her! I'm very happy I got to work with her.
My wife and I interviewed a lot of realtors, including discount brokers, before listing with Nicole. Every realtor had something different to say on what to do and how to sell our home, but what stood out most about Nicole was her aggressiveness. We wanted a go-getter, someone who was not going to sit around and wait; a person hungry for the listing who would stage it well and aggressively market it--Nicole was our answer. She was patient with us and understood our concerns, unlike the 2-3% brokers, and she always responded right away. As 1st time sellers of 20 years, it was difficult to let go. Nicole understood our seller’s remorse by making our transition less complicated and more enjoyable. She has years of experience, a knack for speaking with people, and negotiates good deals. She worked extremely hard to stage it and sold it in 3 weeks in a soft market. She's impressive, street-smart, and enlightened us by proving why she deserved 6% - we would definitely hire her again!
Nicole would be hired for me for any property sale. She sold already my two houses. The last house in Wilmette, IL was completely staged by her - she worked long hours to prepare everything perfectly. Her marketing skills got me the right potential buyers. You can completely rely on her professionalism in selling or purchasing your dream house.
I admired her negotiation expertise :-).
I highly recommend her as Real Estate Agent.
Nicole is a professional in all aspects. From walking us through the home selling process, to staging our home, to always answering any and all of our questions, she is truly a fantastic realtor to work with. Her expertise in negotiating and her attention to detail gave us peace of mind that our home would sell in a timely manner (which it did). We look forward to working with Nicole in the future!
