Home in Gloucester, Ottawa | Sep 2025
I have been working with Nicole Velthuis for the last 5 months. My experience with Nicole has been excellent, to say the least. Nicole is extremely knowledgeable in her field, detail orientated, and easy to work with. I've worked with many real estate agents in the past, but none have been as professional as Nicole is. Furthermore, Nicole Covers the entire Greater Ottawa Region; many real estate agents in and around the Greater Ottawa Region do not service the whole area. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Nicole. If you are looking for a well rounded professional real estate agent with tons of experience, giving Nicole a call is well worth your time. - Ronald Gonzalez
