REVIEWS
- Nick did an awesome job in helping us find and purchase our condo. He listened to our wants and identified options and in the end we found a good fit for our needs for a vacation home Since we are far from Holland Nick set up a couple video tours to reduce travel. Thanks Nick for all the hard work and insight. We are very excited about our new home!Gordon L
- Nick was awesome to work with! I just went through the process of purchasing my first home and Nick couldn’t have made it any easier. He is super knowledgeable about the industry and the area. He answered all my questions and made sure to point out things I may not be thinking of since it was my first time going through the process. He was attentive, super responsive, easy to talk to, and truly cares about finding his clients a home they’ll love! I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future and would definitely recommend him as an agent!Emily Rzeszutko
- Nick was amazing to work with! This was my first time buying a house. Nick was very patient and took the time to walk me through everything and address all my questions. He was always quick to respond. He was clearly knowledgeable about the area and was great at pointing out and educating me on issues to watch for as we walked through houses. I absolutely recommend Nick to anyone buying or selling a home, and look forward to working with him again in the future!Kayla Kocal
