Nicole is an amazing realtor, and I cannot describe my experience enough. I found her on google, and from the first phone call she was very supportive and thoughtful. Just to highlight a few bullet points about her, she is very knowledgeable about the industry, her focus is to find you the best match, she does not push or rush you, she lists all of the pros and cons of an option in detail, and she goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. If you like to find your dream home, look no further for a realtor. Highly recommend her. - Sina

When it came time to sell my house, both my original realtor and another realtor I'd chosen as "back up" had retired!! And there are SO MANY realtors in the mid-Island region!!!! I went searching on Google and picked Nicole based solely on her reviews. I had chosen one other person to speak to as well but after meeting with Nicole the first time, I didn't even bother reaching out to the other realtor. Her demeanor had already convinced me to go with her. And the reviews did NOT lie. If her other clients are anything like me, 5 stars are not enough to encompass the service she provided! She was the perfect mix of friendly yet assertive that one must find in a realtor. Not assertive enough to stray into "ahole" territory, but not friendly enough that you end up with concerns as to whether they'll be truly invested in protecting your interest in the deal. I'd say that she dealt effortlessly with a complication that came up post-signing of the realtor contract, but that would not honor the work she put into dealing with it. She just made it LOOK effortless, and never made me feel like either it or I were a problem. Excellent communication, blunt without being rude, honestly I could go on and on - but I'd just be repeating myself using different words - she was excellence personified, from start to end. If she's still around when it comes time to purchase again, you bet I'll be calling her again in a heartbeat. - Betty B

We have purchased 6 homes and sold 7, trust us when we say Nicole IS the best! We have dealt with several realtors and we have found Nicole to be the most laid back and friendly, confident in how to sell your home, in her market evaluation, what you need to show well, quick to respond to a question, clear to communicate with etc. I feel bad for not giving the marketing a 5 star but we didn’t get to see our home listed on any websites just a coming soon post on her page as our home sold fast in the hot market. But she did put together a beautiful post featuring our home and the photos were stellar! Nicole met the cleaner to give access for a move out clean, and our compost bin wasn’t emptied by the city due to a misunderstanding. We were moving out of province, so travelling that day. Nicole notified us and although it was stressful for everyone given the situation and timing, she helped us sort it out and emptied the bin for us! That was HUGE considering the day it was for us and we know it affected her day also but she didn’t make a big deal about it. We were so thankful for her help and attitude. It’s those things that set her apart for sure. Thanks Nicole for making the LAST sale for us the most pleasant! - Mark & Crystal D

We engaged Nicole on a matter that absolutely needed her expertise (no way could this be a for sale by owner, although I think few are).

I cannot speak highly enough of the service she provided. - Rose

I would highly recommend hiring Nicole for all your selling and purchasing needs. - Catherine Dickie

Nicole ensured we were successful with our move from out of province to Nanaimo, BC. Even before we had met in person, Nicole had spent time with us to go through conditions in the local market, the BC buying process and our requirements in our next property. Nicole's extensive local knowledge meant that when we arrived in person, she had already lined up several properties to view and was soon quickly aware of our style and what we did and didn't like in a property Throughout the whole process, Nicole was quick to follow up, easy to reach and regularly checked-in even after we had closed and moved-in. Great service and no hesitation recommending Nicole to anyone wishing to buy or sell - Stuart Cutler

We moved to Vancouver Island from out of province last summer, and we were looking to buy a house somewhere between Qualicum Beach and Ladysmith. Fortunately for us, we found Nicole Hindman’s name online. Nicole was upbeat and confident that we could find a house in the rapidly changing housing market even though we were becoming discouraged. Nicole’s is very knowledgeable in the real estate market as well as professional. Whenever we requested a viewing, Nicole was immediately on the job to get us a viewing appointment and often arranged for a longer viewing time than was the standard. She also pointed out any issues or problems with the house that she noticed so that we could make an informed decision. Nicole’s positive attitude made house viewing an enjoyable experience. Not only did we buy a house with Nicole as our realtor, we also found a home. - Cathy Crouse

Nicole was a pleasure to deal with. She is very knowledgeable of the Nanaimo market where I was looking. She took the time to explain things on our first phone call as I was a first time home buyer. Nicole is professional, acts fast and a good communicator. I will use her again in the future and highly recommend! Thanks Nicole! - Josh

Nicole was such a wonderful agent to have worked with during our first time buying a house. From the beginning she was personable, professional, and very knowledgeable about the area; such an easy person to work with- easy to relate to, confide in, and trust that she will do everything in her power to work on your behalf. And fun to meet up to see houses and chat with too! We are so very grateful to Nicole and so happy to be in the house we now own. - Liz Gibson

We had a limited amount of time in which to find and purchase a property that would meet our specific requirements as we were planning a move from Ontario. We had been in contact with Nicole prior to our trip, and she was able to research and eliminate a number of properties prior to our arrival which helped us to avoid listings with serious potential issues. From purchase to closing Nicole was an asset and made the entire process easier. Local knowledge is key and without doubt, Nicole will help you find your new home. - Michael Agnes

Nicole with simply the Best. She goes way above and beyond any expectations from an agent. Her professionalism save us lots of money. Not only did I have a good agent I now have a great friend. - Russel

As a first-time home buyer and someone who was unfamiliar with the area I was moving to, I needed the help and guidance of a great Realtor. Someone who could make sure that I was making the right choice; someone who I could trust. That is EXACTLY what I got by working with Nicole. My house search took place in unprecedented times and Nicole navigated me through it like a champ. She really went to the extra effort to ensure that I was viewing homes promptly and safely, despite travel challenges throughout our province. Nicole is incredibly knowledgeable and was willing to talk me through all of the ins and outs of purchasing property. I never felt like any of my questions were stupid. (And believe me, I had plenty). Nicole was communicative, patient and simply a delight to work with. I would passionately recommend her to anyone considering a real estate adventure of their own; I know that I’ll forever be grateful that I found her. - Emily Caulfield

I was a first time home buyer and Nicole was very helpful. She was always available to answer any questions I had and to book me showings. I bought a condo through her. She was very knowledgeable about strata matters and worked to answer any questions about the strata that I had promptly, even if she did not immediately know the answers herself. She is very personable and I would highly recommend her! - Cecilia

Nicole did a great job of selling our lot which was a lovely property but with a niche aspect so that the set of potential buyers was not huge. Nicole is smart, motivated, dynamic, well connected and honest. I recommend her highly. - Wayne Spencer

You can definitely trust Nicole to find you the perfect place. I needed help finding a place for my mom to live, and not only did she show us multiple listings, she was on top of it always, she was responsive, and she was amazing to work with. Nicole is an agent that truly cares. If you need to find a place I would definitely recommend using her. Thank you Nicole! - Christine Anderson

We simply cannot day enough about Nicole. From the beginning of our search through closing and support afterwards, she has been our biggest asset, champion, and source of information in settling into our new home and community. She is prompt, thorough, kind and honest, and did not hesitate to answer any of our questions.

Nicole was recommended to me by a mutual friend. I was not expecting someone like her! Nicole is easy going, friendly, very knowledgeable, funny and she calmed me when my father passed.

I would ask for her services again in a heart beat. - Esther Phelan
