We worked with Nick for several years in preparation for selling our house. He was very patient with us, and stuck it out until we were finally ready. Once we listed the house - his advice and experience got us way more for our home than we ever thought! And after the sale, Sage was a pleasure to work with on all the other details!! We haven't popped to the top on the bottle of Champagne yet - but we will some day! Thanks so much!

Report
Nick and his team absolutely knocked it out of the park with both our purchase and sale! Nick provided great insight into the market, as well as different strategies to deal with the difficult market, not to mention very strong referrals for other professionals to help bring our purchase together. On the sales side, Nick and his team analyzed our home and made specific and insightful recommendations to maximize the closing sale price. I cannot understate how strong Nick's negotiating skills are, and it showed in both our purchase and sale transactions. This team has what it takes to get your real

Report
We worked with Nick for almost 9 months to find a home in Minneapolis for the summer months and since we live in Florida, most of our interaction was remote and when we were on location, tightly coordinated. Nick was extremely knowledgeable in terms of the economic factors affecting the real estate market and worked tirelessly to hone in on the perfect home to meet our needs. He was extremely responsive and represented us flawlessly in negotiations. We are very happy with our new home and would highly recommend Nick!
