Client perspectives

Trusted through every transition.

Nicole and Brittany did a fantastic job helping us sell our duplex in Capistrano Beach and buy our new home in San Clemente. We've bought and sold many homes in the past and most have been frustrating at some point. Nicole and Brittany were the epitome of organized and communicated clearly each step of the way. Every transaction can be stressful but it makes it easier when you have someone on your side that is experienced and stays on top of each part of the deal.

Chris Long

Capistrano Beach Seller & San Clemente Home Buyer

There are events in life that demand putting pen to paper and this experience is one of those times. Here's my story: In this modern day, the internet is an amazing tool so my husband and I thought to hold an open house just as a test to see if we could attract any buyers. We posted the date on a neighborhood webpage on Facebook and waited. What a mistake that was! No buyers, just AGENTS galore, it was horrible! We already had an agent in mind so went ahead and handed the job to her. After 3+ months of open houses, showings, etc., we gave up and took the property off of the market but then...a bit of sunshine appeared before us in the form of Nicole Cinquini. Not full bore Sun In Your Face but a beautiful sunrise coming from over the ocean, she was captivating. From the moment our "real estate dance" began, she was tactful, creative and expressed that she will do whatever it takes to get the job done and she was not kidding. In the end, our house did sell but had it not been for Nicole's unwavering determination to achieve her commitment to us, I believe we'd still be on the market. Let's forget about the business side of this experience but address the authentic, trustworthy, kind, funny, honest, compassionate, credible, loyal, open, great communicator and genuineness of Nicole herself. Trust me, you can't go wrong by vesting in this agent, she'll astound you at every turn.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Nicole on the purchase of our new home in San Clemente. After showing us the two properties we had initially requested to see, she directed us the perfect home that we were really looking for. She had a solid understanding of our needs and took us straight to the home that we've been wanting to find. Her no-pressure approach made her a pleasure to work with. She is personable and professional, 100% class act and delivered everything that she promised. The entire transaction was smooth and we highly recommend her. Thanks Nicole!

San Juan Capistrano Home Buyer

Nicole sold my home in 4 days. That's right! How did she do it when two other homes in my complex are still on the market? Well, let me tell you. She has the expert teams working for her that helped me get my home staged for that "Model Home" look. She had a professional photographer take amazing pictures of my home. When I showed these pictures to family and friends they could not believe that was my home. She presented my home to buyers with professional brochures. She had a broker open house announcing my home to the broker market. Then she held a two day open house. She took the time to meet with my neighbors, giving them a two hour time frame to view my home, knowing that neighbors love to see open houses, and act like buyers. She priced my home correctly, knowing the market, and knowing what we could get for our home. She worked with the brokers in the area, obtained backup offers in the event the first offer fell through, but it sold and we closed in 40 days.

Nicole is the one to make your dreams come true. Twice now, she has helped me purchase my dream home(s)! My first realtor said I had missed the market and she wouldn’t help me anymore. Less than two months later, Nicole helped me buy my first townhome and now seven years later, my first real single story home! She has a way of negotiating so both sides win and feel like they are winning by entering into the deal. A true kind and genuine spirit, she is highly intelligent and one of the most skillful negotiators I have met - and this is coming from a CPA/MBA. Don’t waste time and lose out by working with anyone else! Nicole is the only realtor I hope to ever work with! Can’t recommend her highly enough!!!!!
