Highly recommend Scot Nicol! He is exceptional and truly skilled at serving all home buying and selling needs. We are so glad that Scot served as both our listing and buying agent. He navigated us seamlessly through the entire process. Like many busy working parents of school aged children, we needed someone who could work around our schedules and available evenings & weekends, responsive by text or email, etc. He was all those things and more... he made it easy while patiently answering and anticipating any questions we had.
Scot also helped to line up professional services needed along the

I have nothing but great things to say about Scot! He helped my husband and I sell our first home in Hawthorne and buy our dream home in El Segundo - and got us the best price possible for both! He is an excellent negotiator and we always trusted his opinion on what to do. He was never pushy, but also very honest. His exact words were that he wanted to make sure we bought a home that we would be able to enjoy for years and years to come and not one that we would have to sell in 3-5 years, just so he could get the business again. On top of that, he is extremely knowledgable on the South Bay area

I can not recommend Scot Nicol enough when looking for a realtor to help you through the buying and/or selling process. Scot worked with us for months on a remodel. His advice and encouragement was essential to the success of the sale of our home. The staging, photos and video of our home were remarkable. The online presence helped us to secure a great deal for a home we put blood, sweat and (some) tears into. Without Scot and his team working all angles of the sale we would not have been able to sell our house in such a timely fashion or at the price we did!

Sometimes, when you are contemplating selling your home, it may create a state of excitement or for some, anxiety to approach a new chapter or era for yourself (and family) or both! It is never easy to move, and yet with Scot Nicol and his team, they put my mind at ease with not only their professionalism, but more importantly with Scot's sense of being able to relate. He was always available, approachable and above all, always had options to present. "WE" made the decisions together as a team and the entire process was appreciated and smooth...really smooth. We have since used Nicol Real Estate

Scot sold our townhome and found our dream home, simultaneously, amid a pandemic, and none of that would have happened without him. When he sold our townhouse before we found the next home, he negotiated terms into the deal, including an optional rent back if we needed it, to make sure we'd have ample buffer time to find and close on the new house. When we had nerves, he calmed them. And he never once asked or tried to convince us to do things differently, to drop the sale price, to come up with more money for purchase, to make more showings available when we were uncomfortable doing so re

We used Scot to sell our home in Hawthorne and purchase a new home in El Segundo this year. He is extremely knowledgeable, has great judgement, is trustworthy, hard working, honest and communicative. What's more, I've really come to appreciate his taste and opinions and know he will always be looking out for my/our best interest in any dealings and negotations. Highly recommend you use Scot for your next real estate transaction!
