| Nicky did a great job helping us list our property in the Fayetteville area. The listing looked great with professional photos and 3 D views. She always returned my calls promptly and had answers for my questions in a timely manner. We ended up getting a great price for my home, thanks to her research and recommendations of what to list it for. I would definitely use her again if I was in the market to buy or sell a property. Thank you Nicky Dean! |

| We recently had the pleasure of working with Nicky Dean to sell our house, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Communication with Nicky was always prompt and clear, making us feel confident and well-informed every step of the way. Her professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. We received four offers on the very first day, with several buyers offering more than the asking price! Her keen eye for detail and deep knowledge of the market were instrumental in achieving such outstanding results. We highly recommend Nicky Dean to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Her exceptional service, dedication, and expertise make her an outstanding realtor. Thank you, Nicky, for making our home-selling experience smooth and successful and VERY FAST! |

| Nicky is a super responsive realtor who provides an excellent customer experience. She recently sold my house (in 16 hours :) and helped me efficiently navigate all the steps required to sell my home. Would ask her to be my realtor again the next time I'm entering the NW Arkansas housing market. |

| My experience working with Nicky has been incredible! I knew from the beginning I had picked an excellent partner to help me find my home in NWA!! She is kind, truly cared about her clients, extremely knowledgeable of all things NWA Real Estate, and an excellent communicator. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in finding my new home here in NWA. I relocated from Texas to NWA and my home buying journey has been a long one, she was SO patient with me and truly cared that I found the right home for me, no matter how long it took! (and it took many trips :) !!) We finally found THE house and she made special trips over there for me during the home buying process to ensure I was getting everything I needed. She went to great lengths to make sure I closed on the house when I needed to. I could not have done this without Nicky and I will forever be grateful to her in all she did to help me find and buy my dream home in Bella Vista, Arkansas!! Thank you for everything Nicky! You are simply THE BEST!!! |

| Nicky was amazing to work with during the entire process. Before working with her my husband and I were considering selling the house ourselves, and we are so glad that we didn't. From the first conversation we had with Nicky we felt very informed and at ease with the whole process of listing our house. She had our house listed quickly, and it sold on the first day it was on the market for an amazing offer. She was very knowledgeable with the local market and she understood the process of selling the house like the back of her hand. Nicky was wonderful to work with during the whole process, and she made selling our house one of the easiest things we have ever down. It amazed me how expertly she handled everything, and we felt that we were in good hands during the entire process. I would absolutely recommend Nicky, to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. I would recommend her to my own friends and family. There's not another realtor like her. |

| We would highly recommend Nicky. We recently sold our first home with Nicky, and she made the process so clear and easy. She has set our expectations for home sales very high. Nicky’s knowledge of and network in the NWA market, particularly in Hyde Park, are invaluable. We listed our house, had 5 showings, and received a full price offer the same day. My husband and I had a lot of questions about the selling process and the offer on our house and Nicky was always available to provide answers and guidance. We encountered some unique circumstances during the home selling process and Nicky navigated these with ease building our trust along the way. If you want the best, there is no other option than Nicky. |

| Nicky is a pro when it comes to real estate in NWA! She is the best realtor to have because she actually listens to her clients and searches endlessly for what they want. I was out of town moving to NWA and nicky did it all for me which included buying the house for me sight unseen. I trusted her that much! |

| I knew putting the job of selling our home, and under the circumstances of relocating our family out of state so doing a lot of this remotely, I had to have the best of the best. Nicky is a true professional and expert at what she does. She sold our home in 2 weeks, kept us in the loop on every single detail up until the house closing, and did so with the up most honesty, integrity, and professionalism. My husband and I feel so grateful that we choose Nicky. She is #1 for a reason and gives her clients her everything at every step of the process. Thank you Nicky Dou!! |

| We used Nicky to help us sell our house. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the local real estate market. Our house was on the market in the $400,000-$500,000 range in the Northwest Arkansas area. She handled high maintenance buyers with ease! Skilled negotiator with her clients best interests in mind. We would use again and would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. |

| We used Nicky as our selling and buying agent. She sold our house in 13 days and we had a showing almost every one of those days...and sometimes twice in one day. She is a very clear communicator and I have and will continue to refer friends to her! |

| This year we decided to downsize and we used Nicky Dou to both sell our home and purchase a new home. Nicky was such a pleasure and so amazing to work with! We listed our home and within 30 days it was sold thanks to her impressive market knowledge and ability to professionally market our home! We couldn't be more happy with the results and would highly recommend Jerry or Nicky to anyone considering selling or buying a home. |

| My husband and I had the unique opportunity to work with Nicky Dou. I, myself, have been a licensed realtor in Indiana and had high expectations when it came to purchasing our home. My husband accepted a career opportunity in Bentonville. I started by researching qualified agents and feel so thankful that I found Nicky. She exceeded all our expectations and we could not have had a better experience. Nicky, is not only super knowledgeable about the area, but truly listened to us and set up additional showings on the spur of them moment. We were able to write an offer on our home during our first house hunting trip. From my experience as a realtor, I can honestly say, this is not the normal house hunting experience, especially when moving across the country. Once we purchased our home, Nicky continued to provide excellent customer service. She made herself available to meet with contractors at the house while we were still in Indiana. Nicky gave us several recommendations of contractors who turned out to be just what we were looking for. Our entire experience of working with Nicky could not have been better. |

| "Nicky was beyond magnificent during the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one. Her staging photos made our old home appear to be showcase quality and her website traffic and promotion quickly drove prospective buyers to our door. We had a full asking price offer in only 8 days! While looking for our new home she led us to homes she knew would fit our style. There were even a few times we called her about a home and she said "You know...after know what I know about your likes and dislikes you guys won't like this particular home." Nicky made herself available to us at all times via text and email and went above and beyond the normal tasks during the closing phase on our new home. I have praised her on all of my social media accounts and will drive every last person to her I can. She is truly a "five star" realtor and, in my opinion, the best in northwest Arkansas." |

| Nicky is one of the top Realtors in NWA for a reason! She works very hard for her clients both as a buyers agent and as a sellers agent. She has a solid grasp on the value of technology and social media in today's market, and is likely one of the most visible realtors in NWA on the web. She is very personable and highly professional. I enjoy working with her and her clients very much. I highly recommend Nicky Dou! |

She approaches her job like the best software sales people I deal with. She knows the subject matter, understands the market, and knows how to negotiate. |

| We can't imagine having a better experience with a realtor! Nicky was professional, friendly, courteous, fun, realistic, and very helpful! Our experience with her was very pleasant and positive. We have appreciated her help from the beginning, and she has continued to help us in many ways, even after the closing. It's not surprising to us that she is one of the highest-ranked realtors in Northwest Arkansas |
