Nicole Hindman

October, 2023 I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole Hindman to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home who wants a stress-free real estate selling or buying experience. Her extensive pre-listing research and knowledge of the real estate market resulted in a swift sale of our home, securing an offer within a week, thanks to her professionalism and confident negotiation skills. Nicole Hindman is an exceptional real estate agent, combining dedication, compassion, and skill. Despite my health challenges and stress before and while we listed our home, Nicole exhibited remarkable understanding, empathy, and kindness throughout the selling process. Nicole also extended the same level of care to a friend I referred to her, quickly establishing trust and instilling confidence, so I know people I refer in the future are in good hands. - Celeste Bonnet

Nicole helped us purchase our first home. She put up with us for two years! She is an extremely knowledgeable and honest realtor, and a great person altogether. She always pointed out things that needed to be fixed in the houses we looked at. Thanks to her we were able to buy a great house for our family in a neighborhood of our preference. I definitely recommend reaching out to Nicole for all your real estate needs! - Dilara Turabova

Nicole was truly amazing to work with. We were faced with a challenging market period with lots of obstacles and a short window of time. Nicole only thrived amongst the craziness. She went above and beyond in so many ways, exceeding our expectations. Nicole not only invested her time and expertise but also demonstrated that she truly cares about her clients. We highly recommend using her for your next real-estate transaction as Nicole is a true professional. - Lee Boyd

This was our first time purchasing a home. We were extremely nervous going through the process but the constant and open communication Nicole had with us made this process a lot easier. She is very professional and always available. She responded to us quickly whether it was 7 in the morning or 11 at night. She always put us at ease and kept us informed on what was happening and prepared us for the next steps to come. I highly recommend her to everybody and if you’re a first time buyer or seller she’s the realtor you want. Thanks for everything Nicole! You made this process easy and always kept our stress level down with your quick responses whenever we needed you. We love our place and thank you for working so hard to get it for us! - Tim

Nicole is the ultimate professional at her craft! She gave me stellar advice about postponing the sale of my property until spring. It was only on the market seven hours, when I received and accepted a full asking price offer. I still am in awe that it’s done and done! I would recommend this Rock Star to anyone and everyone. - Pam Wilson

Nicole was amazing to deal with! She had great communication, was professional, personable and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond for us. I would highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs! - Jaclyn Valderrama

Nicole is an excellent realtor. She is knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful in walking you thru the process of buying a home. I was more than happy with the end result and most of that was due to her hard work. - James Life

Nicole was amazing! She sold our house and we bought our land through her as well. Both transactions were perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She will look after you from start to finish. - Mike Wonnacott

Great service, prompt responses and very knowledgeable. She was very professional and knows her stuff. I would recommend her and use her services again! Nicole is an excellent realtor. When I had questions about stratas she found the answers and had quick responses with the information. - Tammy Kellendonk

Excellent experience, Nicole is the definition of above and beyond. She took care of so many issues that arose during the process and got me a lot more than I expected to get! - Tristan Smith-klooster

My partner and I had a fantastic experience working with Nicole to purchase our first home. We worked with Nicole for close to one year to find the perfect home; she took us to see homes in and around the Nanaimo area and was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the process. She had good insights into potential home issues and ideas about home improvements, and was always very positive (encouraging us that we would find our home eventually, even though the market is tough for first-time homebuyers). Nicole is down-to-earth and professional, and was always very responsive to phone/text/email inquiries. We highly recommend Nicole if you are looking to purchase a home in Nanaimo! - Alix Shield

Nicole is the best! Professional, energetic and hard working. Her knowledge and insight helped me find and secure my new home. I highly recommend Nicole as a real estate advocate and local tour guide, lol. Thanks again, Nicole! - Diane Chisholm

Absolute best real estate agent we have ever worked with. She is very thorough, and answered all my questions about all the neighborhoods we were researching. In all our years of buying/selling places, this is the first time I ever had complete trust that the realtor was looking out for OUR best interests. - Margaret Martin

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

Nicole helped our search from abroad for months due to COVID travel restrictions. She provided great insight and advice for us to purchase a beautiful home in a difficult sellers market. We highly recommend her. - Brian Joseph MacDonald

Nicole is a wonderful realtor. She is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to find us a a home in a crazy market! She was always quick to respond to any questions we had. We highly recommend her. - Trinity

Great knowledge of construction and areas and what's in them. Nicole is a. positive person and  it was a positive transaction.  closed in a proper fashion with no issues - Leland Nelson

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). Nicole's expertise on a very delicate set of facts, including a property with a complicated physical state, was outstanding. She repeatedly went above any call of duty. I cannot speak highly enough of the service she provided. - Rose

Nicole helped us throughout the purchase and was friendly, honest and well informed. Her walk through remotely with is was thorough and helped us buy our new home with confidence. - James Baker

Nicole was wonderful to work with. She listened to my needs, was quick to respond to my questions, and was very compassionate during a very stressful time. Her positivity and dedication to finding me the perfect home kept me calm and focused. She was able to guide me through the process every step of the way. 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 had an excellent experience with Nicole. She went above and beyond for us, before, during and after the sale of the house. Highly recommend her and we will use her again 100% - Samantha Angus

Nicole did an amazing job selling our home. 10/10. Super personal and really cared about us as clients. She always went the extra mile, and we would completely recommend her. - Ryan Morgan

Amazing - Nicole went above and beyond in all aspects thank you thank you thank you! Would recommend to anyone in the Nanaimo area without a doubt. Kind and knowledgeable. We had the difficult task of selling our late father’s home, she was very accommodating to us as we live out of province. She made the process easy with less than a 24 hour turnaround! - Rhéa

Nicole was very helpful, nothing was too much trouble, we viewed a few properties but like they say you have to kiss a few frogs to find a prince. Very happy with our purchase. - John Duff

I had an awesome experience working with Nicole Hindman. She is an awesome realtor who gives her time and energy to her clients. She is personable, understanding and gives her clients all her attention and is very truthful. She wants what is best for her clients and works hard to make it happen. Would definitely recommend Nicole. - Shiva

I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking to sell their home. She made the process easy for me as the seller, and went above and beyond typical realtor responsibilities to maximize my net return. I’ve sold many homes in my life, and she is the best realtor I’ve ever had. - Scott Samoleski

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
