As a first time home buyer I had zero clue what I was getting myself into or even where to begin. I am so lucky that Nicolette was referred to me. Nicolette was kind and patient and always available for my many questions and concerns as we moved through the process. I really appreciated that it never felt like she was trying to push anything on me and she really took time to make sure I understood and felt comfortable for every phase along the way. While she is super friendly and easy to work with she also was not afraid to fight for me when needed. I respect and value her knowledge and expertise and will continue to highly recommend her!

Nicolette was referred to me for my first time home buying experience. I really appreciated that she was not pushy and never got discouraged with my pickiness. It took a few months to find the right place and it to all worked out. She was there every step of the way answering random questions or concerns and always available. She also is extremely valuable in looking at homes with her background in construction. She would be the first one to point out flaws or things we should be worried about which I really respected. She also would know how to fix or who could fix something. I appreciated the fact that should would call out flaws in homes we toured because you could tell she wasn’t just trying to push a sale. I had a great experience utilizing her and would absolutely recommend or utilize her again in the future for my real estate needs.

Nikki represented us with the selling of our home and purchasing of a new home. In this challenging market, with high interest rates, Nikki was able to get us multiple offers on our home in a timely fashion. She’s knowledgeable and friendly yet knows when to be firm to get her clients the most she can. She has no problem fighting for her clients best interest while still being respectful and reasonable. Over the years Nikki has represented us with the selling of 2 homes and purchasing of 3 homes. There is no one else we would ever consider to use or recommend to our family and friends.

Nikki Rice is a fantastic relator. She went above and beyond to get my house sold as quickly as possible. She's extremely knowledgeable of the area having grown up in Bend, and was a joy to work with. While I was in the hospital she did an exceptional job to get the price I was asking. Excellent job by Nikki!!!

We worked with Nicolette to sell our house. We were finishing up some renovations and she made sure that everything that could be done in advance of listing was. That made the whole process smooth and less stressful. Because we were totally prepared in advance, we were able to finish our work and have an open house that same weekend. We went from listing to closed in less than 30 days.

We have worked with Nicolette for two purchases and can't say enough about the exceptional service provided by her, especially during our recent investment property purchase. From start to finish, she demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and a steadfast commitment to protecting our interests as buyers. Nicolette took the time to understand our investment goals and tailored identifying potential properties that aligned with our criteria, finding us a fantastic property that checked all the boxes. Furthermore, she demonstrated unwavering integrity when dealing with a listing agent who exhibited questionable ethics. Nikki remained vigilant in protecting our interests, ensuring that all transactions were conducted ethically and transparently. Her dedication to upholding the highest standards of professionalism was truly commendable and provided us with peace of mind throughout the entire process. Nikki was super responsive and always available to answer our questions. We wholeheartedly recommend Nicolette to anyone in search of a dedicated, knowledgeable, and ethical realtor who goes above and beyond for their clients. Thank you, Nikki, for your outstanding service!

I wish to express our profound satisfaction with the exceptional service provided by Nicolette. As a native of Bend, her extensive knowledge of the town's development and geographical nuances greatly enriched our home-buying experience. Nicolette demonstrated a meticulous understanding of our preferences and individual needs, exhibiting a rare blend of professionalism and personal consideration.Her background in construction, coupled with years of industry experience, uniquely positioned her to identify potential concerns and cost implications, offering invaluable insights throughout the process. Nicolette consistently went above and beyond to facilitate property viewings, accommodating last-minute requests with a composed and affable demeanor.Navigating the complexities of purchasing our first home was further complicated by personal challenges. During a family trauma coinciding with the closing process, Nicolette exhibited exceptional compassion and support. Without solicitation, she assumed responsibility for liaising with builders, overseeing home inspections, and managing additional stressors, thereby alleviating our burdens significantly.In light of our extraordinary experience, Nicolette has undoubtedly earned our trust and confidence. Should the occasion arise to sell our home, she remains our unequivocal choice as a realtor.

My boyfriend and I were looking to move to Sisters Oregon and were in need of a reliable, punctual, and communicative agent. Nicolette is a long-time friend and I couldn't recommend her enough! She helped my family immensely with over 10 real estate transactions and we will continue to lean on her when the time comes. She truly took her time to understand our needs and tirelessly searched for our perfect home. Since we lived in Portland at the time, she would visit any house we were interested in and send us videos of the properties while pointing out our personal "red flags". Purchasing a home can be a very stressful process but with Nicolette's expertise, guidance, and poise, she made the transition easy for us. If you are looking for a new agent, please give her a call. I'm sure you will be convinced in the first 5 minutes of talking with her. Thank you again, Nikki!!! We love our home in Sisters. <3

Nicolette was the seller's agent for my late parents' home sale in Bend. She is an outstanding agent and an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only was she spot on in knowing the market and helping us to cost-effectively prepare, accurately price, and optimally showcase the house for sale—she provided a valuable roster of tradespeople for the cleaning, staging, and yard work—and (because we were out of state) personally made sure the work was done correctly and on time. Nicolette went the extra mile for us consistently, and her local knowledge and experience in the building trades is a major plus. In addition, her tact and diplomacy in dealing with multiple parties throughout a complex estate-related transaction was superb. There were multiple competing interests, personalities and lawyers (just to mention the seller's side of the transaction!) and Nicolette managed them skillfully and cheerfully—consistently communicating effectively with the parties and always following through. From start to finish Nicolette demonstrated tenacity, ingenuity, flexibility, reliability and a willingness to go above and beyond. Her quick responses, positive attitude, professionalism, and ability to work with other agents and the multiple lawyers involved turned what could have been a disastrous home selling experience into a very positive one. In addition to her professional qualifications and knowledge, I greatly value her candor and common sense. I have dealt with many agents over the years (and was one)—Nicolette is exceptional. Whether buying or selling, I highly recommend Nicolette Rice.
