Furthermore, as a Certified Real Estate Negotiator, Nick uses proven strategies to secure the best possible outcome for every purchase.

What to Expect as a Buyer
Working with Nick follows a clear, four-stage process. First, Nick establishes your budget and target criteria. Next, he identifies properties that match your goals, including off-market opportunities. Then, he negotiates aggressively on your behalf. Finally, he manages every detail through close.
Looking to Move Up?
Most move-up buyers share the same core concerns. First, they want to understand their affordability options, specifically how their existing equity translates into purchasing power for their next home. Additionally, timing strategy is critical; knowing whether to sell first or buy first can mean the difference between a smooth transition and a stressful one.
Nick also provides bridge loan guidance for buyers who need to move before their current home sells. Subsequently, you’re never forced into a rushed decision or an unfavorable sale. Finally, his deep knowledge of Foothill Communities means he can make specific neighborhood recommendations based on your lifestyle, school preferences, and budget (not just what’s available on the MLS).
The result is a clear, confident move-up strategy tailored specifically to your situation.

We’ve used Nick for three real estate transactions. Here’s why we recommend Nick:
--As a buyer’s agent, Nick listened into our needs/wants and showed us a house we initially dismissed based... read more on the online listing. Nick encouraged us to see it anyway, and wow, it ended up being perfect for us. He then negotiated a purchase price far below asking and much lower than we expected.
--As a seller’s agent, Nick was a tremendous resource, consulting on which projects/repairs we needed — and those we didn’t — prior to listing. We utilized his contacts for projects and repairs, and the work was done well and priced competitively.
--Nick’s photographer/videographer is fantastic. He’ll get the best out of your home.
--Although Nick is a busy agent, he responds quickly to texts and emails. Nick is a true professional; he takes care of his responsibilities and then some. We highly recommend.
