My wife just purchased our first home with the help of Nicola Speranta and her team. We had the best experience so I wanted to take some time write up a review. My mom was actually the person to find Nicola. She and my wife were out looking at homes for fun and happened to hear a New Zealand accent. My mom being from Australia was interested in… finding out who this person was so she introduced herself and ended leaving with Nicola’s business card. A month or so later, we were speaking and she implored me follow up with Nicola and see if she could help us on our first home buying journey

DONT WORK WITH Christine Edwards Arcaris!! I would like to utilize this platform to share my experience with one of this company's realtors, Christine Edwards Arcaris. As a first home buyer and interested in a house in the Monrovia area, I decided to go with the seller's realtor so I could get some inside information and compete, provide a strong… application, and get the house that I wanted.

This person (Christine Edwards Arcaris) asked me for three (3) documents: a pre-approval letter, a proof of funds (downpayment), and a letter to the seller. The same day I received an email from Christine

Nicola and her incredible team were just what we needed to finally buy our first home. They have a great system and she has lots of experience. Nicola knows how to be there for you as buyers and to work for you… when it is truly needed during the tiresome escrow process. They even sent sweet treats to help us celebrate our closing which was much appreciated as we were a little ragged there at the end of our first escrow experience. We really appreciate her honesty, patience, and kindness. We would definitely work with her and her team again. Thank you all for doing everything you could to

My fianc and I were first time home buyers and we feel so blessed to have been connected to Nicola. She was an amazing steward through the home buying process! She answered all of our questions and did a great job explaining the process to us. She did not pressure us, and helped us see the positives and negatives of each property we saw. Her light spirit kept the process fun. Additionally, we followed her advise on lenders, and were able to close in 20 days (which is so fast!). Her assistant Staysi was also incredibly helpful, kind, and super responsive. I would highly recommend Nicola and her

This was my second time working with Nicola, first time was a buy transaction for my Pasadena condo, this time was a sale of the same property. I am very happy and satisfied to have had the opportunity to work with Nicola and Staysi for my real estate needs. As this was my first time selling a property, I interviewed several agents to collect information and educate myself as well as understand different approaches for marketing, staging, and pricing. Nicola came to my home with a detailed presentation, including marketing approach, comp data, pricing strategy/reasoning, and a detailed plan of
