Testimonials
“Nicole is caring. She highly creative in marketing your property to the best of her ability.”
“Nicole is a lovely person who dealt with an extremely difficult situation on my end with care and great patience. As both my parents have serious health & cognitive issues with their advanced age, it was necessary for me to acquire LPOA in order to proceed with the sale of my parent’s lake house. I was under great stress, and Nicole thankfully has a warm human nature - there were some testy moments, and they were handled well. Had I remained in NH on a more permanent basis, I could certainly see myself continuing a friendly relationship with her.”
