Client Success Story

Zuser20151017231813639 Buyer/Seller

“Nick has been my realtor (and now friend) through three complete transactions. He represented me when I bought a home in the Riviera district of Southwest San Clemente, and again when I sold that home. And he found my present home in Southeast San Clemente before it even went on the market! His local knowledge is second to none, he never uses any k … ind of pressure tactics, and is friendly and reasonable to work with. I have bought and sold nine homes in my life, and have had some unpleasant realtor experiences - it was such a refreshing experience to meet and work with Nick. I very highly recommend him” Read More ▾

Nik Mock Buyer

“ABOVE AND BEYOND: Nick is an outstanding agent to work with. He is a skilled listener and negotiator, with very in-depth knowledge of the San Clemente housing market. My wife and I were looking for a diamond in the rough property near the beach in SW San Clemente to ultimately transform into our dream home. To say that Nick delivered that goal is a … n understatement. He skillfully facilitated a quick and smooth transaction while negotiating terms that both parties were completely satisfied with. His dogged persistence, calm demeanor and willingness to do whatever it takes, made it a nearly stress-free transaction. So much so that we were able to enjoy our honeymoon vacation while the home was in escrow. Without a doubt, we would recommend his services! 5 STA” Read More ▾
