Nicholas Blackshaw

★★★★★
"Nick was amazingly responsive knowledgeable through every step of the process. From the date we first contacted him, we had an -person meeting the next day, dozens of potential homes the following day we saw ~15 homes within the next week. Nick's former experience in building renovations was invaluable to point out both deal-breaking defects minor issues that can be easily replaced (along with cost estimates). During the purchase process, he guided us as first-time buyers with many direct connections for , legal, home-inspection, title companies, was always very available to be there guide the process. After the purchase, Nick gave contacts to trusted contractors for minor renovations (wood floor refinishing, painting) that were able to quickly cost-effectively get our home ready for us." - Kyle

"Nick helped us with finding a new home in Arlington Heights. We had a very precise vision list of needs wants although that narrowed options down considerable he never let us feel like he was rushing us or convincing us to change our expectations. During our search we highly appreciated his insights with regards to how much alterations / remodels / changes to aspects of houses would cost including timelines. This helped us tremendously in assessing whether a house would be a good fit or not. We almost closed on one house which ended up not passing inspection like we had hoped again, he made sure to convey that he would fully support us going to searching. He reached out to his wide network to get further expert opinions on the matter shared them with us which was very helpful appreciated. Once we found the house we ended up buying, he managed negotiations smoothly. He made suggestions & recommendations but also followed our lead when we wanted to push further. During after closing we once again benefitted from his large network to get recommendations for broker, inspector, painter plumber the ones we enlisted help from didn't disappoint. During this whole time Nick was very responsive communicated via messages, email or phone calls. He made himself available for appointments there was never a moment where we felt like we weren't high on his priority list. "

We were impressed with his negotiating skills when buying, but even more so when Nick our separate properties for us before we merged (he got us both top dollar the neighborhood both of our condos for us with excellent timing). We trust Nick, recommend him highly."
