Nicole Machado

"I was a first-time buyer with limited knowledge of real estate looking for a serious bargain in San Francisco. Nicole saw me coming and took me from point A to Z almost flawlessly. She took my confused, obfuscated concept of what I thought I was looking for and steered me through properties that matched my needs, against the odds, considering the limited volume of homes for sale in SF. We went through around twenty homes over two months. Each one we visited she would pepper me we questions and about half way through I relived she was profiling my responses to help her tailor the next option closer to my desires. Nicole's insight of the dynamics in home-purchasing kept me intimately and honestly informed steering me clear of several bad options and ultimately making me aware of the best deal possible. Each time I was indecisive about whether or not to walk away, her council was spot on. Nicole educated me thoroughly on everything from financing to determining value and, when she realized I was entering into a TIC, her knowledge was priceless in protecting my interests and maintaining a clear focus through what is a fairly complex process. Having Nicole on my side, looking out for me through the mountains of paperwork, inspections and loan process gave me mountains of comfort. I remember how uncomfortable my TIC partners seemed. They were a little unnerved at how comfortable I was and I attribute this directly to how empowered I was by "team" feeling I consistently felt when dealing with Nicole. Overall I am totally satisfied with Nicole's performance. The deal she helped me broker was the perfect fit for me. So perfect in fact that I plan to buy with her again in three years because the deal was so sweet! Thanks Nicole!!! ~Ethan T."
