★★★★★
"Nigel is beyond five star in his field and we would highly recommend him, whether this is the first or the fifth home you are buying. His wealth of knowledge and sound advice, paired with a pleasant and never ruffled demeanor, are what allowed us to navigate a competitive market to move into our dream home. He made himself available, on a next day request, to have a private showing of the house we wanted. He recommended we employ an escalation clause, as a strategy, so that we would not overpay, but would be more attractive than competing offers. His suggestion worked and we were under contract for our new home in less than two days from the first walk through. We are thrilled with our purchase! Nigel then helped us prepare our home for sale by bringing in teams to paint, stage, move out and store extra furniture, and declutter. In less than ten days, our home was ready for market. We signed with Compass to show our home as a "private exclusive" listing before opening to the public. Nigel created buzz by using social media to post "coming soon" pictures. He also personally walked our neighborhood, inviting neighbors to an open house, in order to have them alert their friends and family about a home soon to be on the market. Nigel was readily available to answer any questions we had throughout the process from home inspection to paperwork to staging to sale. We followed all of Nigel and the stager's recommendations to get the home ready for listing. We had multiple showings and offers right away, and did not even need to post on the public MLS. Our house sold for $110,000 over asking the very first day! We cannot thank Nigel enough for all he did for our family to make both buying and selling homes, in less than two weeks, seamless and stress free. "

★★★★★
"Our experience with Nigel and his team was absolutely wonderful! Our house in Fishtown sold quickly and for more then we expected. He was always helpful and calmed my nerves when I needed it! He helped us get multiple offers on our home and made sure we got the best deal! Nigel and his team ensured we had a smooth easy closing as well. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Nigel Richards!" -Gina
