Read what clients are saying about Nicole Gentry, Associate Broker

From Sellers:

"Nicole is so warm and kind. She was there every step of the way with advice and good support through all of our questions and concerns. She is a strong negotiator and very strait forward. She was excellent representation for us in a stressful and exciting process!”

"If I could give Nicole 10 stars, I would. She's knowledgeable, professional, friendly and easy to work with. She gives her clients 150% and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of real estate services (buying or selling)."

“Nicole listed and sold our house in 67 days. She was right on with her pricing
strategy. She was valuable in sharing her staging ideas, very hard working and
committed. Once a buyer came by she was honorable in negotiating while not letting
the buyer rest. She was like a pit bull during the closing process. She even hand-buffed
the hardwood floors in her high heels before an open house! We are happy
with her service and would recommend Nicole.”

“Nicole was everything we wanted and needed in a realtor. She is an excellent
marketer of homes, with amazing energy and enthusiasm she explored every avenue
to find the right buyer for our house. Best of all, although she is a busy top
producing realtor, the attention and effort she gave us made us feel that we were
her first priority.”

"Nicole did a great job with our home sale. She pays attention to detail and
understands the market, Our home was priced right and sold in five days."

“One of the things I appreciated about Nicole is energy and positive attitude which
was evident from our first meeting. She listened to our needs and took great pains
to please us. When offered constructive advice, she came back with a plan of action.
She was a pleasure to deal with and would recommend her without reservation to
anyone buying or selling. The best compliment we can offer is we would exclusively
use her again.”

“Nicole and her husband (Ron) could not have been more pleasant with the sale of our condo. Traverse City is a very seasonal real estate market and being out of state made us
realize that the selling season is very compressed. Our buyer's got a good home and
we did not have to hold onto the unit very long. We are absolutely satisfied
with Nicole and how she handled our sale.”

“Nicole was speedy and efficient during the sale of my home and the purchase of my
new one. It almost moved too fast since my house was on the market for one week
and sold to the first people who looked at it! Nicole set the right asking price to
make the house sell! She worked with the other realtor for the home that I
purchased and I was in my new house in record time!! I highly recommend Nicole
for any real estate activities that you need!!”

From Buyers:

“Nicole went above and beyond what any realtor should! She had to deal with a lot
of adversities dealing with a divorced couple and she handled them with care and
desire. She never lost hope of our house selling. I would recommend her to anyone
looking to sell a house!! Thank you Nicole for all your hard work Nicole is simply
terrific. Incredibly hard working, responsive, and professional. And she is a really
nice person. When we asked questions, Nicole got us answers immediately. That
included measuring some things herself and calling contractors to get us an idea of
what we might be looking at if we chose to make renovations after the purchase.
She was more concerned about us and doing the right things than just getting the
deal done, which is exactly why the deal got done.”

"Nicole was great to work with. She was very prompt at showing me all the houses I wanted to see. She also found other houses to show me. Nicole referred me to a mortgage company that was able to pre-qualify me immediately so that I did not miss out on the home that I wanted and am now living in. I  have referred her to two of my friends that are looking into buying. I would highly recommend her."

“Nicole accurately describes herself as a "pit bull with manners". Not only is she
incredibly supportive and fun to work with, but she works hard for you. Really
hard. I cold-called her in the morning about a specific house, we saw the house that
same day, and submitted an offer by the next morning. The offer was accepted
within a few days. Like I said, she works hard. Aside from her work ethic, Nicole is
a blast! She is funny, warm, and professional. Her demeanor made the seller-buyer
relationship easy and respectful. The entire process was a breeze and I attribute
much of that to Nicole's abilities and passion for her job. I have already
recommended her to several individuals and will continue to do so, whether buying/
selling/first-timers/experienced.”

“I contacted other realtors without a call back. I heard back from Nicole in less
than 24 hours. Through out the entire purchase process she was quickly responsive.
I wouldn't hesitate to use her again!”

“The ultimate professional! She spent many hours showing me several available
houses, after she had spent many hours doing the research and giving me all the
specific information on each house. Extremely hard working and insightful lady
with a very warm, caring, personality. Spending many hours with her was very easy
and comfortable and we shared many laughs. She readily understands what a client
wants and together we found the perfect house. I VERY HIGHLY recommend her.
Anyone looking for a house should DEFINITELY contact Nicole--it will be the best
move you make.”

“We were very pleased to work with our realtor Nicole Gentry. We lived over 2
hours away from Traverse City and had limited time to tour houses. Nicole was
easy to talk with and quickly responded to our emails, phone calls and texts. She
provided excellent information about year-round road conditions and traffic
patterns in the Traverse City area to help us determine the optimal location for
commutes to Traverse City and to work. She emailed us accurate home listings, so
we could evaluate them before selecting houses for a home tour. We are pleased with
our new home and would work with Nicole again.”

“Nicole & Ron, I don’t think we told you how much we appreciate all you’ve done to
help us get our dream home. You fought the battles and came out with all the gold.
I don’t think anyone else would have fought so hard or made the sacrifices you
made. Thank you just doesn’t express how grateful we are.”

“Only met briefly and Nicole helped us with one property in our search for a
summer home in Traverse City. She was very responsive, listened to our questions
and comments about our family and life style, and was very good at answering all
questions and following up promptly. While we had to temporarily discontinue our
search, I am confident in Nicole's abilities and will engage her when we begin our
search again.”

"Nicole is the first Realtor we've experienced that listened to us! She was very
thorough and loved when we asked 10 questions at once about the homes we toured,
she found out the answers that day without us having to remind her. Wonderful
customer experience!”

“Nicole helped my wife and me get the house of our dreams. She was very diligent
and never gave up despite the difficulties this property posed. I can't say enough
good things about Nicole or her Husband Ron. I am very happy to have met both of
them and would definitely recommend them in the future.”

“I highly recommend Nicole. She is an exceptional, ultimate professional. She is
extremely hard working and insightful with a very warm, caring personality. She
readily understands what a client wants and works tirelessly to find the perfect
home. Our search for the perfect home began in June 2015 and ended with closing
in November 2015. Every phone call, e-mail, and question was immediately
addressed. She was very tuned into me, what I wanted, and what I didn't
understand. She patiently helped and guided me through the entire purchase and
closing processes. Meeting and working with Nicole was the best and most
rewarding experience. I will be forever grateful. Her energy, enthusiasm, integrity,
commitment to her client, and passion for her job is amazing. She is a very positive,
caring woman. Thank you Nicole for everything you have done for and with me.”

“My home-buying experience was unique in that my search was a long distance one,
Florida to Michigan. I contacted Nicole about half-way through my process of
viewing homes on the MLS, and was increasingly aware that I needed the help of a good agent in order to zero in on the perfect home. She immediately went to work to find properties she thought I may be interested in, and then helped me arrange times for my relatives in the area to see them. This was not an easy task, as she needed to work with third parties and their schedules, but she moved forward and previewed the homes for me to eliminate those she knew I would not be interested in. If patience is a virtue, Nicole is blessed with it and many other virtues! She is a very positive, caring person who remembers the little things her client needs and cannot abide. She was always available by phone and email. When it became necessary for me to travel on a limited schedule to see the homes for myself and make a decision, Nicole lined up appointments on a single day,
leaving the next day free for us. We saw many properties that I initially liked online,
but seeing in person proved invaluable, and I didn't feel any of them would work.
So, not giving up, Nicole knew of neighborhoods where new homes were being built
and we looked at the ones nearing completion. Nicole sensed that nothing was
clicking with me, however, and she recommended that I consider the homes I was
drawn to in an area farther from town. We took the short drive there the next
morning, and I was so glad I did because this is where I found my next home! We
had time that day to make the offer and get the ball rolling so I returned home,
confidant that I made the right decision. Do not hesitate to hire Nicole Gentry as
your agent. She will guide you through the process, whether you are buying or
selling a home, and make everything as seamless as possible.”

“Nicole was exceptional in helping my fiancé and me find and purchase our home.
We were first-time home buyers, and the process was very overwhelming to us.
Nicole thoroughly explained and guided us home. She even set us up with a mortgage
lender, as the one we were working with previously was unable to help in our
situation. I highly recommend Nicole, she went above and beyond to get us into our
home and we are so grateful for her help and service.”

“Nicole has more energy to help with your real estate needs than any five real estate
agents combined. Within a week she was able to find a lot in Suttons Bay, Michigan
for us to build on with very specific land requirements. She is responsive and very
courteous to work with. I would highly recommend her to family, friends and
others.”

“It was a pleasure working with Nicole. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. Her
professionalism made the process easy for us. Every phone call or question we had
was immediately addressed. We would highly recommend Nicole for any real estate
needs.”

“Nicole was great help during our real estate purchase. She is very knowledgeable
about the areas. In addition, her personal assistance and timely response made the
experience enjoyable for us. I would highly recommend her to my close friends.”

“Nicole was great in dedicating her time to answering our questions and helping us
to navigate the waters of real estate. We would recommend her for anyone who is
looking in the area for a home.”

"Nicole was fantastic to work with!! She assisted in helping us locate a new office space to lease on very short notice. She was knowledgeable, friendly and honest with her thoughts and insights on the various locations that we looked at for possible lease. She negotiated a more than fair lease  agreement with the landlord that was in our best interest. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell, purchase or lease any real estate."
