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. We would hands-down recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in and around Nanaimo - it’s like having a top-notch real estate professional and a close friend in your corner at the same time. - Matthew Phillips

Nicole was very understanding and involved in the purchase of my home. As a first time home buyer she helped me through the whole process and answered all my questions. - Kaitlin Whittall

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 couldn't have gotten through the last few months without her. I needed to sell in a short amount of time. She sold my home faster than expected. I would ask for her services again in a heart beat. - Esther Phelan

Very professional and thorough. Everything done in a timely manner. She provided all necessary information to comfortably close the deal. Although we weren't able to be at the location we were satisfied with her descriptions of the house. - Oliver Plett

Nicole was so easy to work with, I instantly felt comfortable with her. Being new to the area, she was very knowledgeable about the schools and the community. She found us our forever home and we are very happy to have met her. - Margaret Plett

Nicole was so wonderful to work with - knowledgeable, flexible, and incredibly patient. We moved to the Nanaimo area from out of province and she helped us understand the neighbourhoods and market, and supported us every step of our house hunt. We never felt pressured even as we changed our mind a half dozen times about what we wanted! We ended up buying during the Covid pandemic and Nicole was so helpful in making a move in a difficult time a lot less stressful. - Cong

Outstanding experience with Nicole from our first viewing through to taking possession of our well negotiated home. Her exceptional attention to detail, local knowledge and friendly professionalism was a great asset to our home search. She was there through the whole process always going above and beyond to keep us comfortable during a complicated out of country finance and purchase. We highly recommend Nicole Hindman! - Craig and Nicole

I was instantly comfortable with Nicole from the moment I met her for coffee a few weeks ago. What I thought would be a stressful process (buying my first home) was not at all and it's because of her approach to it. I had a great time learning from her and looking at houses together. I truly felt like she was really looking out for me during the entire process and I know that I will be going to her for any real estate activity that comes up in my future. I appreciates you, Nicole! - Katrina Marquez

Nicole is keen, patient, and knowledge. She is an excellent negotiator. My home sold the same day she listed it for over asking and she helped me get my new home at the price I wanted. I highly recommend her. - Lindsay

I chose Nicole based on her photo. She found me my dream condo ....... 3rd property showing. Nicole is relaxed, straightforward, and professional. I am recommending her to all my friends and aquaintances!!! - Carolyn
