Thanks again. I wanted to take a few minutes and tell you how fortunate we feel to have a Realtor like you. I have 4 other friends who are in the process of closing on their homes. They are coming in with horror stories and their agents sound completely awful. I mean truly, their stories made me keep thinking how lucky we are! I think they wait for me to tell my horror stories but I have to go into details about how much you have done for us and how smooth our processes have been both times... not one glitch came up (or if it did, you handled it for us so it was basically stress free.) I made sure to give them your information for the next time!!! You are unique in this day and age and we really appreciate how good you are! It is also nice to see you have not changed or sacrificed your work ethics, thoughtfulness as an individual, etc. as the market has gotten so competitive and down right brutal! We really appreciate it! You also have wonderful staff working for you, AND not to mention all the people you refer us to (accountants, movers, mortgage companies) etc. have all been magnificent also! I just thought you'd want to know this! :o) Have a great day and keep us posted on the arrival of your new baby girl!!! We hope everything goes well. Katrina, Carlos, and Dominick
Dave Nichols assisted us with both the sale of our existing home and the purchase of our new home. We were referred to him by a friend and he impressed us from the very beginning. He returned that first phone call promptly, answered our initial questions clearly and set up a face-to-face meeting quickly. From start to finish, Dave always made us feel like we were at the top of his to-do list. As sellers, we were thrilled to receive 13 offers on our home, all within 5 days of putting it on the market. One offer stood out because it was a whopping $100,000 over our asking price. To say we were eager accept is an understatement. Fortunately for us, Dave patiently reined us in and explained how it was really a "bogus" offer, and that accepting it would eventually result in a lost sale because the house would never appraise for the inflated amount. Even worse, by the time it all played out, the other 12 offers would be long gone and we would end up starting over and wasting months of our valuable time. With Dave´s guidance, we accepted a genuine offer, still with a nice, fat escalation clause and sold our home for the highest price ever paid in our neighborhood. Our closing went off on schedule, without a hitch, making it possible for us to avoid getting an expensive "bridge" loan. Dave did everything we hired him to do and so much more. As buyers, we were overjoyed that the seller accepted our first offer, without any escalation clause, even though there were other offers. Dave Nichols made it happen because he skillfully made our case to the sellers´ agent, explaining how our offer was really superior, and that the other offers were not as attractive as they appeared because of contingencies and other factors. We bought and sold in an insane real estate market. Dave Nichols deftly navigated us through complicated situations and truly exceeded all of our expectations. Knowledge and experience do pay off. Dave´s paid off for us! Thanks Dave, for everything. Peter and Jennie Schmidt
In the past 7 years, I have purchased four homes. David Nichols was with me every step of the way. He worked with me through my divorce. His business ethic is outstanding and his honesty is without question. He took the time to learn my taste and my preferences. He advised me to do things that were in my best interest, even if he was short at the end. He put the interest of my family first, and he was not afraid or hesitant to say when I was about to make an unwise move. He treated me with dignity and respect. He listened to me. I have referred several co-workers to him, and they were not disappointed. I would very highly recommend The David Nichols Group. My confidence in him is demonstrated by the amount to times we have worked together. And I would not hesitate to use him again. By the way, I am a Black, female, single parent. That shouldn't´t make a difference in this day and age. But, frankly it did. And David Nichols rose to the challenge. I have one more move in me, and I plan to ask for his help B. Haley
David Nichols offers real estate services that are second to none. I wouldn't even think about using any other Realtor to conduct real estate business in the Washington Metropolitan Area. I value David's opinion above all others in buying, selling or renting a property. When I go into any real estate transaction, I feel that I have insight, experience and professionalism that far exceeds that of other Realtors. David believes in going the extra mile when it comes to delivering service to his clients. I have found that David and his associates are always available to me when I need them. I have done multiple transactions with David and will continue to be a loyal client. I consider him a close friend, as well as a valuable business resource.
