Nicole helped us find our new home! We are doing a complicated, international move, and we expected that finding the right place from overseas would be difficult and stressful, but Nicole went over and above for us. With her superb knowledge of the market, she helped us set realistic expectations, and she had recommendations for lenders. She knew the red flags in an otherwise good-looking listing, which saved us precious time. She arranged a marathon viewing of upwards of 20 properties during our visit to the DMV area. We are very happy to have worked with her and will recommend her to anyone we know in the area looking to buy or sell. - Kimberly Lyon

I was referred to Nicole by an old friend who thought I might need her expertise. I took a while to reach out as I had lived in the DMV many years ago and thought I could find a suitable place on my own. Instead I was inundated with too much info from the wretched internet listings. I rather cynically finally reached out to Nicole. The speed and attention to detail with which she handled my requests was astounding. She met me and took me to see various listings in an area I had never thought of- but which ticked off everything I needed. She even thought of things I didn’t realize I would need, like proximity to certain stores, restaurants, the metro, gyms. Funnily enough I fell in love with the first place she showed me. She still showed me all the other places, and then diligently helped me through the application process, which made more difficult because I had lived abroad for so long and no longer had much “history”. She is an expert. She knows her stuff, takes obstacles in stride and never loses her cool. I moved into my new home smoothly and in record time. I cannot recommend Nicole highly enough. If you’re looking for a realtor who listens well to your needs, takes quick action and problem solves so that you can be happy wherever you choose to live, give Nicole a call. - Leah Bryant

If you're in need of a communicative, patient, knowledgeable, personable and dependable realtor, look no further, Nicole Shirley is the perfect realtor for you! From the first time my husband and I talked to Nicole, there was an instant connection. She asked us about the kind of house we were interested in purchasing and had us prioritize our top five needs. From that first meeting, we could instantly tell she had our best interests at heart and was 100% committed to helping us find what we wanted. As first time home buyers, she literally held our hand through the entire process. She answered all of our novice questions and constantly made sure we were all on the same page, which is very important when making such a large purchase. All in all, our home purchasing experience was far from stressful and for that alone, we will forever be grateful and will definitely work with her again when the need arises. 😊 - Tamar D.

Nicole was great. She was very attentive and responsive (even while she was on vacation). She listened to what I wanted and found homes that fit my check list. She answered every question I had and was very knowledgeable of what was going on in the market. For being a first time buyer and being really young Nicole helped guide through the crazy world of real estate. I would definitely use her again. - Ami Bockarie

Nicole is AMAZING!!! I needed assistance finding a rental site unseen in a short timeframe. She sent listings constantly and offered to view them with me over video call while I was overseas. I put my trust in her and she helped me to find the perfect place for my family and I. She’s extremely knowledgeable about the area and she provided sound advice. House hunting can be so stressful but my experience was not stressful at all because I had Nicole guiding me every step of the way. - Tiffany Thompson

My wife and I were looking for our first home Nicole was recommended to us by a close personal friend of ours. She was very professional and helpful through the entire process. She communicated all details for properties we visited very quickly and was very knowledgeable. She walked us through the process from beginning to end. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home. Nicole was instrumental in helping me purchase my first home. She helped me to research and navigate the new construction process and provided me with guidance around key steps to take to ensure that I was protected throughout. Would highly recommend working with Nicole! - Gilbert Johnson

★★★★★
Nicole helped my wife and I with our search for a home and transition to the Annapolis area and we could not be happier! Her professional courtesy, knowledge, and timeliness made the stressful search for a home easy. She made herself available and guided us through the process while helping us stay in line with our stated wants and needs - which was important with such a big life decision that can become emotional. This was important and her impartiality really helped us feel like we were being guided through the process by someone who had our best interests at heart. Once we found “the one” we never had to wait for anything and her consistent communication helped guide us through the process smoothly. Nicole was a constant presence and helped us feel at ease during what would’ve been an otherwise stressful time. I will definitely be requesting her services for any future purchases in Maryland! - Anonymous
