When my elderly grandmother was ready to sell, Nicola came highly recommended by a close friend who had used her to both sell and purchase her home. My friend had nothing but wonderful things to say about this woman and quickly after meeting Nicola, I understood why. She is friendly, funny, charismatic, and down to earth, and within minutes of the meeting, it was evident she knows the real estate business like the back of her hand. Her experience in the business and warm demeanor immediately put me and my grandmother at ease as she talked us through the process of what to expect. She recognized my grandmother, with limited income, could not afford to remodel and she made genius recommendations to get her "Lived-in" home, in tip-top condition to sell.

When my elderly grandmother was ready to sell, Nicola came highly recommended by a close friend who had used her to both sell and purchase her home. My friend had nothing but wonderful things to say about this woman and quickly after meeting Nicola, I understood why.

Her experience in the business and warm demeanor immediately put me and my grandmother at ease as she talked us through the process of what to expect. She recognized my grandmother, with limited income, could not afford to remodel and she made genius recommendations to get her "Lived-in" home, in tip-top condition to sell. Nicola was very in the know about the most up-to-date paint colors and transformed the 50-year-old home into a beautiful modern space with minimal out-of-pocket costs. Nicola works with what I would compare to a "Dream team" of professionals who quickly execute and bring her visions to life. Her painters, photographer, marketing team, assistants, etc. Are just as amazing as she is and together they seamlessly worked magic. With Nicola's suggestions, the home sold in less than 7 days with more than 40 offers on the table. We were shocked! Incredibly, Nicola was able to sell my grandmother's house for over $100k from the asking price! She worked tirelessly to keep us in the know, explaining when and how the home would be listed, what to expect from open houses, details of offers and counter offers, etc. She was always available to speak to us, any time of day or night, and was dedicated from start to finish. If you are in a position to sell your home, Nicola is who you want in your corner. Her knowledge and tactics are unparalleled and we would have never received the offer we did without her. She is a professional through and through and we are forever grateful for the wonderful experience she provided.
We started our search for a new home at the beginning of the pandemic. Inventory was low and prices kept climbing. Nicola was very patient with us, and never complained even though she had to come to all the appointments in person as there were no open houses. We were definitely not the easiest family, dragging our two-year-old twins behind us to the viewings. She was very encouraging on a journey that at times felt hopeless. It took us over a year to find our dream home. We had lost five bid wars by then, but we ended up with a house that topped all the previous ones, and of which we can say that it has everything we were dreaming about. We could only win the bidding war because of Nicola's very strategic and clever offering strategies. She is very experienced and has a good intuition when it comes to putting an offer.

As first-time home buyers, my wife and I weren’t sure what to expect during the process other than a daunting heap of paperwork and potential “cat herding” between the buying agent, the selling agent, the mortgage broker, and everyone in between. We were pleasantly surprised that our initial expectations couldn’t have been further from the truth after meeting Nicola and her A-team. Regardless of the request, Nicola seemed to have a person fit to address it in a timely and professional manner. We felt protected and well-armed from the open house through the close of escrow in the hands of the Speranta group, knowing that Nicola’s wealth of knowledge would land us a beautiful home for a fair offer. Certainly, Nicola had many other clients throughout the process, but somehow she made us feel as if we were her only ones and was able to provide us with any support we needed at seemingly any d…

Certainly, Nicola had many other clients throughout the process, but somehow she made us feel as if we were her only ones and was able to provide us with any support we needed at seemingly any day or time. Even after the closing of escrow, Nicola was able to put us in touch with various contractors who could easily handle any task we requested. Nicola made us feel like friends in addition to her clients, and we will absolutely be returning to her for any of our real estate needs. Without any reservations, we highly recommend Nicola and the Speranta group for your home buying or selling needs.
There are so many words to describe Nicola. Where do I start? Professional, knowledgeable, hard-working, punctual, funny, smart, and most importantly she is just an awesome person to be around. She lights up any room she's in and I just absolutely adore her. We approached Nicola in May 2021 to help us get out of an awful home buying experience in 2020 during covid-19. We had only lived in our current home for 10 months but we wanted out and Nicola understood and made it all happen in 2 months! We received an amazing offer on our old home and Nicola put us in our dream home in just one shot which was extremely difficult to do. You hear of all the nightmares where potential home buyers have to put in multiple offers and get turned down time and time again only to leave the market in frustration. Nicola told us exactly what to do to win our dream home and we are living in it now. Don't wast…

Nicola is the cream of the crop! She was knowledgeable, energetic, patient, focused, and clearly in a league of her own. We had very specific requirements and she was considerate of each of them; handicap-friendly, single-story home with mother-in-law quarters, good school district for kids, turn-key in the decent area to accommodate our growing family, within our budget. Nicola immediately began working to make our dream a reality. She quickly booked appointments to view properties and made herself available for us, sometimes on last-minute notice. She was very candid when it came to recognizing the pros and cons of different homes and her level of honesty was invaluable in our decision-making process. Nicola is a skilled communicator and got us the upper hand in this competitive housing market. (We won 2/2 of the homes we bid on!) Thanks to Nicola, we closed escrow in under 30 days and…

Nicola and Gabriela are a great team who provide excellent professional services to get top dollar for your home. They presented a detailed analysis of the property, which included current comps in the area and targeted data to determine the sale price. Nicola worked with the Speranta group concierge to provide a line of credit which allowed repair expenses to be deferred to closing. This was a blessing since resources were very slim at the time and relieved a lot of stress during this process. You never know what will happens once the house goes on the market but Nicola and Gabriela were able to address all situations as they came up and kept the schedule on track. In the end, the house sold for over the asking price, we had a lot of challenges which were all overcome and the new buyers are settled in with the house they wanted. I highly recommend Nicola to sell your property.
