McColly Real Estate
“Dan Nolan was great. He was very honest and up front from the beginning. We were very pleased with his expertise in real estate. He got us more money than we expected in the sale and what other realtors expected to get. The house was sold within 3 weeks from listing and we were not expecting to show it for two more weeks. Glad we did—we entered into a sales contract in week 3. Very happy with results and would definitely use Dan Nolan again.”

“I am a 55 year old business man that has purchased a number of primary and secondary residences. Of all of the realtors, Nicole was clearly the best. She was knowledgable and super responsive at all hours. In fact, I am not sure if she sleeps. Nicole helped me identify the exact right condo based on a number of requirements and then helped me to move quickly to lock it down. I would definitely work with Nicole again.”
