Nico expertly guided us through a challenging first-time home-buying market over the last nearly 3 years. With so many changes and uncertainty in our lives, he stuck with us viewing many homes, discussing at length what we wanted and needed, and helping us purchase our first home! We are so thankful for his support during the many open houses and back and forth with listings from the South Bay to Santa Cruz County.
During the home-buying process, he attended to so many details we didn't even know we needed to consider and made prompt connections with local experts for second opinions and quick work based on our circumstances of a few days' timeline between closing and moving into our new home. We are so grateful for Nico's expertise and commitment to getting the deal closed with our best interest and complete input 100% of the way. Without Nico's calmness, daily check-ins, flexibility, and honesty, we probably wouldn't have made it through the closing process with our sanity still in tact.
He really held our hand throughout the process, and shared what he would do and how we might consider some additional factors in our analysis in making such a big choice. We loved celebrating such a beautiful life milestone with Nico and had many laughs along the way. We highly recommend him to anyone.

We were looking for a rental property for a 1031 exchange. Nico was very professional, patient and helpful. He understood what we were looking for and the short time frame we had to find a property and then close on it. Due to the crazy housing market and our initial decision to look in two different locations about 100 miles apart he provided lots of information from local realtors, checked with city and county planning departments for rental rules on the many properties we asked him to review for us.
His attention to detail was excellent as was his follow through. He made the craziness of a low inventory market seem easy to navigate.
He understood the challenges and opportunities from an investor’s perspective in a very competitive and fast market. He was right on top of any new listings and got us in to see them ASAP.
He showed us existing rental houses and duplexes in several market places and everything else we asked him to show us. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Santa Cruz County and Monterey County areas having been raised in these areas.
He found the right property for us and he continued to assist us through the final inspections and renter search.
We highly recommend Nico whether you are buying or selling to first-time buyers as well as to seasoned investors.

Talk about patience, gusto and pertinacity...

For an entire year, Nico helped me search for the perfect home for my daughter and I. He not only answered all of my many questions and concerns throughout our year long house hunting journey, but he also really listened to what it was I was looking for and what things were really important to us in a home. I never felt rushed or pressured to settle with just any property. When I finally found “the one,” Nico got down to business, going above and beyond to make sure we sealed the deal.
Nico is incredibly kind, honest, straightforward, knowledgeable and passionate about his job as a real estate agent; it’s clear he loves what he does and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell! (I also plan on working with him again in the future!) Thank you for everything Nico!
