BUYERS GUIDE

70 Charlton Street #10F

"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."

"In selling our condo we found Nicole Hay a step above other real estate agents in NYC. Nicole was always prompt and prepared. She listened and offered honest advice. The unique technology used by Nicole and her team to find the right buyers for our property was a plus. Her photos and description captured the unique quality of our home and her organized showings resulted in multiple offers from qualified buyers in just a few weeks. Nicole was able to negotiate an acceptable offer where two previous agents could not. Her level of service made the difference.

In addition, Nicole went out of her way to connect us to Oz Moving Movers to ease our concerns of our moving back to West coast. We would definitely use Nicole again for future real estate opportunities."

"Nicole is wonderful. As first time home buyers, Nicole first got to know my wife and I and listened to us well to help us identify our needs. We had a lot of questions coming into NYC from out of state. Nicole worked tirelessly with us to help evaluate several places and ultimately discover our perfect home on the Upper West Side. We’re grateful to her and to Michael for being thoughtful and skilled partners through the home buying process. Cheers, and thank you again, Nicole."

"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."

"Nicole was fantastic during my apartment purchase process. She was knowledgeable and kept me and the process organized and efficient. As a first-time apartment buyer, I never had to worry about something going wrong or being late. She also supported a strategic bidding strategy and their advice proved to be very valuable."

"As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and was really unsure of how to navigate the process - and I am so glad I found Nicole! She was professional, responsive, listed to what my needs and wants were and helped me find my beautiful condo. She was an absolute delight to work with and I would absolutely recommend her as a great realtor to work with."
