"Amazingly professional, kind, upfront and honest. Delivers on her word. She also has a great sense of humor. I recommend highly!"
★★★★★
"I would highly recommend Nicole and her team. As a first-time home buyer, I had several questions during each stage of the process. Beginning with our initial phone conversation, Nicole ushered me through the home-buying journey with ease.
Nicole is highly responsive, which is something I expected coming from a fast-paced industry. She is available at all hours of the day by phone and text, which is critical in a market that moves quickly. Nicole is also very good with technology - something I can especially appreciate as a younger home buyer."
★★★★★
"What I valued most about Nicole is that she kept me honest and was never pushy. Nicole was also an effective liaison between me, the sellers, sellers’ agent, attorneys, and other third parties. She prioritized my concerns and fought for me as a buyer. Most notably, she was able to negotiate an attractive price for me (below ask, which is rare in this market). She successfully fought to incorporate additional seller concessions into the contract which I hadn’t considered, including repair work to the unit prior to my ownership. It was during the negotiating stage where Nicole’s experience really shined through.
On a personal level, Nicole is down-to-earth, energetic, and fun to work with. She has a unique gift in that she can connect with people of all different backgrounds. I look forward to working with Nicole and her team again when it comes time for my next home purchase."
★★★★★
"Nicole has been so impressive. She has been extremely successful achieving all goals promptly and with excellent financial results. She is very professional, responsible and available. And, a genuine pleasure to work with. I have recommended her to many friends and family members. She is the first person to think of for real estate."
★★★★★
"Nicole was OUTSTANDING and instrumental in helping my wife and I in purchasing our dream apartment. She is professional, organized, patient and very knowledgeable. Nicole was very responsive to all our needs and was a smart negotiator. She made us feel like her priority throughout the transaction and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Everyone involved loved Nicole! I highly recommend her without hesitation!"
★★★★★
"Nicole went out of her way to make sure my family’s home was truly idyllic. She listened to our requests in earnest and moved rapidly to help us secure that one special place. We are so grateful for the joy that our new home brings everyday - thank you Nicole!"
★★★★★
"Nicole Hay is the best of the best! She was instrumental in both helping us sell our apartment and purchase our next apartment and dream home. She possesses all the best qualities that you could hope for in a broker. We were fortunate to have her by our side!"
★★★★★
"Nicole is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, organized, and detail-oriented professional with outstanding people skills. We had the pleasure of working with Nicole recently on the purchase of our new home. She was mindful of our interests and needs and our price range. We quickly found the home of our dreams and Nicole guided us through the cumbersome offer to agreement negotiations and co-op application. I was amazed by how quickly she got answers to our questions. Nicole was also able to suggest an appropriate mortgage broker and an attorney. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Nicole Hay to you."
★★★★★
"Just wanted to leave a long overdue recommendation for Nicole "NY Power Broker". Nicole helped us find our dream apartment back in February. Being 1st time buyers in the New York market, Nicole helped us navigate unfamiliar territory and very thoughtfully showed us places that fit our needs. She is so perceptive that she managed to find us the perfect place within a handful of views which saved us a lot of time. Despite multiple offers already in on the apartment we wanted, Nicole refused to let us act on emotion alone and avoided a bidding war. She thoughtfully strategized a negotiation approach with us and was able to secure the apartment for us still under asking price. Beyond the sale alone she truly delivered a holistic advisory role when it came to finding and buying our home, from recommending lawyers and removalists, to walking us line by line through our board package to ensure we were accepted. Finally, she is always calm and positive and truly a pleasure to work with. She made what could have been an extremely stressful process feel easy. Her generosity and little personal touches were the cherry on the top. Can't recommend her enough to buy or sell your home, she is a consummate professional and at the top of her game."
