Greg and Gracie take a personal interest in helping you find the right home for you an your family. They are the very best people to go to if you are interested in living in Terra Lago and they are also helpful for other locations outside of Indio too. They are very responsive to both text and phone questions. Can't give them enough thanks and praise. Check them out for yourself.

We began working with Gracie via email and she continued to send us houses that she felt met our profile. By the time we drove out to the desert to look at the homes Gracie had lined up for us on an organized list; we knew we would recognize the house that was meant to be for us; and that is what happened. The first house we saw was also the last one we looked at twice and we had made our choice.
While in escrow Gracie provided us with a list of vendors that we needed to redecorate our new home. She made the entire process very easy for us. We were happy with all vendors that Gracie recommended

Gracie and Greg are a great team, helping us not only find a beautiful house to purchase but also finding us a tenant until we move in. We highly recommend them!

I have used Nilson Realty to purchase two homes, as my rental agent, and most recently to sell a home. From the very beginning I have liked that Gracie replies promptly, and is honest and direct. I require a lot of information and ask many questions, and both Gracie and Greg have shown great patience with me. My home sold in November in two weeks on the market with two excellent offers, and I received what I had hoped. I could not have asked for more. I highly recommend Nilson Realty! It is such a pleasure to deal with nice people like Gracie and Greg.

Gracie and Greg helped my husband and I find our new CA. home. We moved cross country from New York and had many concerns because of the distance and not being able to be on site. Gracie helped hire painters, cleaning services and much more until we moved in. We could not have had an easier transition because of their thoughtful and organized service.We highly recommend Nilson Realty!

They sent us listings weekly. We told him what we were looking for and they took us right to it. They never pushed. Invited us to dinner and sent us a gift when we closed. It was a great experience... I recommend Nilson Realty
