TESTIMONIALS

Cynthia D. - July 2022

My fiancé and I were super nervous to start the process of buying out very first house but choosing Monique as our realtor was the best decision we ever made! Throughout the entire time, she was knowledgeable, caring, informative, and she always looked out for our best interests. She taught us so much along the way and made sure we were confident in every decision and offer we made. Buying in this market was not for the faint of heart but somehow Monique made it fun and now we have the house of our dreams. Monique communicated with us really well and always made sure that we were in the know, which we really appreciated. We would definitely recommend having Monique as your realtor, at the end of the process it’s an amazing feeling to look back and really know that she supported us all the way!

Upon a strong recommendation, I contacted Monique Nickels for the sale of my home. I had taken a job in another city and needed someone I could trust to handle all the details. After our initial (remote) meetings I was satisfied that Monique was capable, experienced, and most importantly, that she truly understood my concerns and goals for the sale. Upon completing contract formalities, Monique set about setting up services that I needed: movers, junk removal, cleaners, painters, house staging and inspectors. She used her network of contacts to find local contractors, met with them personally at my house (remember: I am in another city), and provided me multiple quotes for each service. We reviewed the quotes on the phone together, and her feedback on the quotes & contractors was invaluable (lowest price is not always the best deal). As with most things, there were issues that came up while preparing the house for listing. This is where Monique’s strengths and experience really started to show. We had a series of discussions on what should be done to maximize my return on any repair investments. In the end, her guidance on additional improvements to maximize market value proved to be spot-on. Again, her network was invaluable, and she set about getting quotes for landscaping and other improvements, and reviewed them with me for approvals. My house sold in February 2020, and I am writing this review a year later. Monique recently called to ask if I needed any closing paperwork copies for filing taxes. This is representative of the level of detail, service, and professionalism Monique has displayed throughout all of my dealings with her. In short, with no exaggeration, Monique is the best realtor I have ever worked with, period. When a friend needed to sell his house, of course I recommended her. Afterward, he was just as impressed as I was. I hope you find this review helpful. Selecting a competent realtor you trust will be one of the most important decisions you'll ever make.

I have known Monique for awhile. I was looking for houses years ago. When it came time to sell my parents house I could think of no one better. She is patient and kind and helped me through the whole process which was very hard since loosing my father. She was so kind. I would recommend her to anyone.

Response from Monique 02/10/21:

Thank you Tim. I am so glad I could be of assistance to you and your family.

I purchased a Redlands home and sold another home with the help of Monique Nickels; I would not have been able to make the new home purchase without her hard work! I highly recommend Monique to anyone looking for a home or anyone selling a home. She is well-informed, trustworthy, and, without doubt, the best realtor I have ever known (I have been through several transactions)...

Christine C. - 2020

Monique is a professional through and through, and has the patience of a saint. She showed me houses for over 3 years and waited until we found the perfect house at the perfect time (after the passing of my husband). She handled both the selling and purchasing of my properties. Monique juggled difficult buyers with grace and timelines that should have been impossible with ease. She continues to answer my phone calls about new home warranties and issues without complaint and is always gracious no mater the question. I wholeheartedly recommend Monique Nickels and her team with any and all of your real estate needs, she is a ROCK STAR like no other!!

Monique is super professional, honest, trustworthy and will help you all the way! She protects her clients and makes sure they get the best deal. She is very patient and responsive, and makes sure you are a priority all the time even on weekends and holidays. Monique has worked with me over a year just to find exactly what I am looking for, I would not been able to purchase a house without her help. She will not only help in purchasing the house, but also with all the other hurdles that come along the way due to her extensive knowledge and connections, making home buying way less stressful! I highly recommend Monique to anyone looking for an honest and trustworthy realtor with extensive knowledge and professionalism!

I am embarrassed it's taken me so long to write this, but I am finally taking the time to sit down and write about what a wonderful realtor and overall person that Monique is. She helped my husband and I sell our condo a couple years ago before we relocated to the bay area. The process was seamless and we were so honored to have met her. She was kind, attentive, and honest throughout the entire process. After 2 years, we wanted to move back to Redlands but I was very pregnant, which made trips down to SoCal to look at houses a little more cumbersome. Monique helped take so much stress out of the whole process. We found our dream home and put an offer in before even seeing it in person. We trusted her completely and she went above and beyond taking detailed videos of our house. It felt like we were really there! 4 months later and we couldn't be happier with our home with our new little family. Monique is the best of the best and I doubt you could find anyone else that even comes close to her.

Monique is amazing to work with. After the passing of my husband, I considered a move. I was not sure if I was going to bring my mom with me, therefore getting a larger place with in-law quarters or a place for just myself and 3 young sons. She made contacts and showed me every house I wanted to view and several she found for me. She toured my current home so we could be ready to sell at a moment's notice. Monique is very professional and never rushed me or complained about my indecisiveness. She showed me home after home over a period of just under a year. After deciding to stay put (for now) she was loving, understanding and respectful of my decision. She continues to check on me and keep me updated on several of the houses that caught my eye. I whole heartedly recommend Monique for all of your real estate needs, she is someone I want "in my corner" when the time to move comes to fruition.

The first time I met Monique, I could tell right away that I was going to like her. I was totally right. She's so nice, yet is always professional. She listened to and remembered everything my husband and I had to say, and was great at helping us to refine our house hunt little by little until we found houses we liked. She was honest with us and did not let us make mistakes on our first time buying a home. She NEVER made us feel pressured. In fact, I would put pressure on myself and she would talk me down. On our last day searching, we both woke up feeling that we were going to find "the one" and we actually found 2 that my husband and I had trouble picking between! We found the perfect starter home for our growing family, even though I took her a bit out of her usual geographical zone! She can do anything! I look forward to doing business with Monique again in the future!

Monique's ability to help me navigate my home buying process was exceptional. I relocated back here to Southern California after living 30 years in New England and in a very short time - Monique found my home. Her professional approach - research, local knowledge, trustworthiness, and very important for me, was her ability to listen in meeting my home buying needs. Simply put, having Monique as my agent made for a very smooth home buying experience.
