"Nico was a please to work with! Living out of town during the entire purchasing process, he was able to accommodate me and make the transaction as smooth and seamless as possible. In addition, he was extremely responsive, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional, which gave me comfort in purchasing a home virtually. I highly recommend using him to purchase your home, and know I will definitely be using him in the future as well!" - Peter

"My partner and I purchased our first home in January with the help of Nico. When we first started our home search we had no idea where to begin. Nico quickly caught us up to speed and made sure we felt confident navigating Durham’s housing market.
Nico’s knowledge and patience was constant from start to finish. During showings, he was a wealth of information and made sure to investigate each house thoroughly (even crawl spaces after heavy rain!). His insight was extremely valuable to us first-time home buyers. We felt incredibly supported and advocated for throughout the Due Diligence period and negotiation process.
Nico was quick to respond and a great communicator which was especially helpful as only one of us could be present in Durham for the duration of our search. He made sure we both felt informed and aware throughout our process.
Though the home buying process can be stressful, Nico made the experience as stress-free as possible. As others have mentioned in their reviews he is hard-working, knowledgeable and an all-around pleasure to work with.
Whether local or relocating to the area we highly recommend partnering with Nico for your next, or first, home search!" - Sophie

This was our third home buying experience, first with Red Collective & Nico, and it was far and away the best experience so far. We have a trickier situation due to our business, but Nico connected us with an awesome lender and also helped us each step of the way, keeping us informed and aware of new tasks or information that surfaced. We closed with minimal effort two weeks before my due date and right in the middle of a kitchen renovation in our primary residence. Everything was seamless and stress-free, which makes us want to buy more priorities with him right away!!" - Katie

"My wife and I were lucky enough to be paired with Nico Crecco for our first home buying experience. Nico truly blew our expectations out of the water. He is knowledgeable, hard-working, responsive, patient, and just the right amount of scrappy to get us a perfect home in this competitive and fast-paced market. We spent a lot of time with him during our home search, and we enjoyed it all! He made sure everything went seamlessly and truly did go above and beyond every step of the way. I cannot recommend him highly enough." - Emily

"Being first time homeowners, the idea of starting a search for a new home was daunting, especially in this crazy market. From our first introduction call with Nico Crecco we knew we were in incredible hands. He walked us through the entire process with such patience, professionalism, and clear expertise. What we thought would be an overwhelming process became an exciting search for our first home all due to Nico’s guidance. Every email with a question that popped into our head went answered immediately and with such a detailed explanation. Although I knew he had other clients, by the level of service we received, I truly felt like we were his only clients. If you want someone who will make you their top priority and guide you through the entire process as an obvious industry expert, I cannot recommend this incredible realtor highly enough! Thank you Nico for finding us our perfect first home, we are so grateful!" - Laura

Nico was the absolute best to work with, I would recommend him to anyone I know. We were looking for nearly two years and he was so patient and never once made me feel pressured with a house that was not the right fit. He is extremely thorough and knowledgeable and we would have never made it through our short closing process if it weren't for him. All around wonderful person as well! - Lauren
Growing up in a developer’s household, Nico developed an appreciation for homes, architecture, and design from an early age. That foundation, combined with his deep connection to Raleigh, has shaped the way he approaches real estate today. As a local who is actively involved in the community, Nico knows Raleigh not simply as a market, but as a collection of distinct neighborhoods, streets, and communities—each with its own character, history, and sense of place.
Nico is the founder and owner of & Company, a real estate business built on three core pillars: relationships, integrity, and design. These principles guide every aspect of his business, from the way he communicates with clients to the way he prepares and presents a home for market. He believes great real estate is never simply transactional. It is built on trust, thoughtful guidance, and relationships that continue well beyond the closing table.
His background in residential design gives Nico a distinct ability to see a home’s potential and understand the details that make a property stand out. Paired with his real estate experience, strong negotiation skills, and solution-driven approach, he brings both strategy and creativity to every client relationship. For sellers, that means thoughtful preparation, strategic positioning, and a design-forward approach to creating a compelling market presence. For buyers, it means having an advocate who understands not only value, but also the lifestyle, character, and long-term potential of a home and its neighborhood.
As someone deeply connected to Raleigh, Nico brings an especially personal understanding of the city’s neighborhoods. From established communities with historic character to the areas shaping Raleigh’s next chapter, he understands what makes each neighborhood unique and how those nuances influence the experience of living there. His local perspective allows him to help clients look beyond a property itself and find the community that truly fits the way they want to live.
At the heart of & Company is the belief that luxury is not defined by a price point—it is defined by the level of service, care, and attention a client receives. Transparency, creativity, responsiveness, and an unwavering commitment to doing what is right are central to Nico’s approach. Every detail matters, and every client deserves an experience that feels as considered as the home they are buying or selling.
When he isn’t working with clients, Nico can usually be found exploring Raleigh’s neighborhoods and architecture, discovering a great antique-store find, playing tennis, or trying the newest restaurant in town with friends and family.
