Testimonials

“Outstanding agents. So grateful for Laurie and Nicole’s professionalism and customer service. Thank you!” ~Mary H.

It’s been a while since Nicole closed our second real estate transaction together, but I’m still astounded by the level of professional service she and her team delivered. Nicole navigated us through a challenging situation with a property whose condition threatened closing. She brought in the right people to ensure everything that was promised in our contract happened correctly, completely, and on time, leaving us with a happy buyer. Nicole and her team offer the right combination of personal integrity, experience in the market, and willingness to go the extra mile (or two!) that result in my highest personal recommendation.” ~Colin H.

“I am a Realtor in the GTA and recently co-operating with Nicole on our family home in the KW area. Her familiarity with the Tri-City area is remarkable. I enjoy working with her as her honesty and integrity exceeds professional standards. Nicole was extremely helpful and guided us in every step of the way with the purchase of our new home in KW. I look forward to working with her on future deals. TEN STARS!” ~Paula Stamp

“Nicole Brand recently handled the sale of our home as well as the purchase of our new one. We met Nicole many years ago at an open house and she seemed to be very professional and personable. Since then, she has handled multiple transactions for our family members. She is simply the best. She is there every step of the way. Her assistant Linda was very helpful and always available to answer our concerns. Nicole hired the most amazing stagers who were very thorough. Nicole made it clear that we do what we’re comfortable with. The photographers and videographers she hired did a great job as well. Nicole is very “hands on” and even helped with moving a very heavy cabinet. It’s very stressful selling a house that was home for 22 years but Nicole eased our every concern. She sold our house in one week and in our opinion there’s nobody else that can handle the local realty market like Nicole Brand.” ~ Regina & Garry Snow

“Nicole has been an exceptional realtor who made our home buying experience a breeze. Throughout the entire process, she was a guiding light, patiently explaining each step and ensuring we understood the nuances of the real estate journey. What truly set Nicole apart was her willingness to go above and beyond. Even after we settled into our new home, she continued to offer her support and advice, showcasing her commitment to her clients beyond the transaction.  We must also extend our gratitude to Linda, Nicole’s assistant, whose timely responses and ongoing support enhanced our experience. Nicole and Linda make an incredible team. We will highly recommend Nicole and Linda to our friends seeking real estate services in and around Kitchener. Their expertise and commitment are truly commendable.” ~ Kevin Warner 

“I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Nicole on multiple occasions, including the sale of a residential property and the leasing of a commercial space. Nicole is truly exceptional as a realtor. She invests the time to truly grasp your unique requirements and exhibits a remarkable dedication to realizing your specific objectives. What truly sets her apart is her patient approach; she never hurries any transaction and stands in stark contrast to some agents who might come across as overly assertive. Nicole’s unwavering support is a constant. Punctuality is her virtue, and her candid insights come forth whenever sought. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly endorse her services.” ~Nash C.

Nicole is the perfect choice if you’re looking to list or purchase a home. She worked diligently with our extremely tight deadline to purchase a new home, sell our existing home and sell our rental property all within 35 days with no delays.  She  worked with different vendors to ensure that our house was well staged to list on the market. With her expertise, we sold both of our properties within our very tight deadline. Additionally, she worked directly with our lawyer and mortgage broker to keep us well informed, ensure that all of our questions were answered and there were no delays.   She surely took the stress out of the process. She went over and above to make certain that we were selling our houses at the best price and additionally went to to hand deliver paperwork for the purchase of our new property within the builder’s timeline. With her extensive knowledge of the current market and the builder, we were able to secure the new property at a very reasonable price. Overall her dedication to her clients is far beyond anything that both myself and my husband have experienced and she continues to follow up to ensure that we are happy with our new purchase.  ~Amanda K.

Nicole was recommended to me through a friend. I could not have been happier that she was. This woman is simply awesome. She is very personable and is willing to help with everything and anything. Nicole went above and beyond at every turn of my journey of selling my home. She literally helped me with EVERYTHING. By everything, I mean things that I never expected or could have anticipated her help with. She is very giving and does everything to help you get the most benefit out of the sale of your home. I could not believe the things this Agent did for me. Simply Amazing! I don’t have the words to really describe how great Nicole and her team are. I would reach out to her anytime I was buying or selling a home. After finding her, I would never use anyone else. Trust me you will not regret ever, having Nicole on your side for the sale or purchase of a home. Really and truly I cannot say enough! I love her and her team and will be forever grateful of everything she did for me. CALL HER!!!! She is the best!! ~ Sherry Wilson

“Nicole was referred to us by an out of town Realtor.   Bob and I received relevant and accurate information for pricing, timing and showing our home in the best light.  She provided  a stager as part of the listing, a referral for temporary  storage at favorable rates and other services we may need.  At all times she was personable, knowledgeable,  professional and accommodating.  Once the listing went live, we received multiple offers and the home was sold in a week and a half. Even after the agreement was signed and up to the closing, Nicole went  beyond the norm to assist  us and provide  extra touches   Nicole was a great choice for us and we are sure that she would be a great choice for you.   Should the opportunity arise, there is no doubt that we would contact Nicole again.” ~ Jennie Ziegler

Nicole was amazing in helping me find my first home. I was so overwhelmed and she made the process so easy and smooth.   She really takes the time to get to know her clients and understood exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone needing an agent. ~Angie Simpson

We were working with another agent when we were looking for a home. After giving him what we wanted in a home, he kept showing us houses that were not for us and would never step foot in! Luckily, we met Nicole, she knew exactly what we were looking for and it did not take us long to purchase our first house. As first time buyers and being from out of town, Nicole helped us every step of the way. She even recommended lawyers, inspectors etc. which made the whole process perfect. I would highly recommend Nicole!“~ Ness Jackson

My wife and I moved to Canada in 2016. Real estate was very hard to understand. We thank Nicole and her team to “hold our hands” and show that it was possible to buy a property. She helped us on every step of the process. Visiting houses, listening to what we wish for and explaining every detail of buying it. Without Nicole and her team I am sure that buying a house would be much more complicated. Thank you Nicole for all, and for sure we are sharing your contact with all our friends. (One of our requests was a backyard with beautiful trees.)“~ Bruno C. Sibella

“Five (5) Stars is not enough to rate Unique Brand. I’d say infinity…times two.” ~ Stefan Baker

I had a great experience dealing with Nicole. She was amazing and on top of the ball every step of the way! Nicole was so helpful getting me and my wife into our first home. She always provided listings that suited our needs and gave her input  and advice on everything we were unsure of. I am so happy I found Nicole and would not hesitate to work with her again. I would highly recommend Nicole to everyone and anyone looking to buy or sell their home.~ Shawn Jackson

Nicole was absolutely terrific at helping us find our dream home. She never lost hope that we would eventually find it in a tough housing market. She also helped us maximize the selling price of our existing home. We couldn’t haven’t done it without her support and expertise. Hands down she is the best agent I’ve ever worked with. ~ Jack Drennan

You made buying a home so easy by always being at the end of a phone if I ever needed anything or had any questions.  It’s a sense of comfort that is nice to have with such a huge purchase.  You were always SO friendly and easy to talk to, yet professional at the same time, which goes a long way.  I am very happy with my purchase and I will ALWAYS recommend you to anyone I know in the future. ~ Konrad Ochman

The first time we met Nicole was at an Open House and we knew very quickly that we wanted to work with her.  She was genuinely interested in our family and our needs. I always felt as though Nicole had our best interests at heart and would work around our busy schedules to go out and see homes and to show our home.  I have a home daycare so it was imperative that showings were after a certain time and she was more than willing to accommodate that for us.  Nicole was never pushy or presumptuous in any situation.  It is obvious to me that she takes great pride in caring for her clients as family.  Nicole will be our agent for life and we recommend her to anyone! ~ Andrea & Josh Laver

Nicole helped us buy our first home.  Upon meeting for the first time, Nicole made us feel at ease about some of the complications that can come with obtaining your first home.  Nicole always worked around our schedule, and was always willing to meet wherever was most convenient for us.  Her expertise is dealing with all the required paperwork made the entire process so easy for us.  The end result of working with Nicole was we got exactly what we wanted out of our home and she even got us a beautiful house warming gift!  Thank-you for everything Nicole!” ~ Lindsay and Matt Winter

As an ex-realtor, my expectations are quite high. Nicole was very approachable and professional, she listened to what we wanted and went out of her way to get it for us. When we listed our home we were pleased with the high volume of showings her marketing skills drew to our open house. With high traffic comes successful profits. We were more than pleased with the final outcome which occurred just a few short days later. House sold, on to buy our new home. She listened to what we wanted, where we wanted it and how much we were willing to pay. She truly valued our time, not once did she suggest we compromise. No wasted trips to home we had no interest in, no far out locations and no homes out of our price range. The third home she showed us was just perfect and we knew it immediately! It has been a few months now since we have moved in, no surprises! We could not be happier with our choices, the first of which was picking the RIGHT REALTOR! Thanks again Nicole!” ~ Shelley Porter

Choosing Nicole as our Realtor was the first right step to sell our house and buy a new one. She is a very dedicated, responsible and friendly professional.  Nicole was always there for all of our needs.  Thanks Nicole!!!  ~ Fernanda & Fabio Borges

Kelly and I truly enjoyed working with Nicole!  Nicole was very friendly and helpful.  She completed everything we needed and so much more!  She made the experience very easy for us and found us a home we absolutely love!  If any of our friends or family move to this area I will definitely recommend Nicole! ~ Mike and Kelly Etsell

Nicole’s integrity, attention to detail and approachable personality ensures that her clients will receive the best possible service available.  I would highly recommend her to anyone with the utmost confidence in her abilities to get the job done. ~ Nat Mirotta, Broker of Record Remax Twin City Cambridge

Being a first time home buyer can be very intimidating and overwhelming.  After having an awful experience with an inconsiderate and pushy agent, I was turned off the housing market.  Once I began working with Nicole, she gained my trust immediately.  We looked through every in-law suite on the market.  Nicole is genuine, kind and reassured me that buying a home was my decision.  She is so knowledgeable and took the time to weigh the pros and cons of each property with me.  She’s always just a text or a phone call away.  Nicole found me my dream home before it even went on the market.  She was patient and supportive through the entire process.  Thanks to Nicole I’ve got my very first home-and it’s perfect!” ~ C. Ross

“We’ve been working with Nicole and her team providing marketing for several years. Nicole is incredibly organized and treats her clients with respect. Recently Nicole helped a member of our team purchase a home and her patience and guidance through the process was admirable and appreciated.” ~ See Your House Now (Kyle Christie)

From the time we met Nicole, she made us feel important.  Remembering our names as well as our children.  She was willing to show as many houses as we wanted to see right away.  Nicole is a very honest, personal and reputable sales rep.  She has advised us not to put in offers on houses she didn’t feel met our needs.  Nicole has proven to be available to attend to our needs readily and immediately.  I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone that we know.  Even after closing on the transaction, Nicole has continued to check on how things were going and staying in touch.  She has been patient with all the different directions we have headed. Nicole doesn’t just stop with the transaction itself but has also recommended multiple other contacts that we required to help make everything as smooth as possible.  Nicole, I thank you for your excellent service. ~ Sly and Cynthia Yap

“RIGHT FROM THE START WE KNEW WE HAD MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.

Our home sale was a very big deal for us, as we had lived in our home for 26 years and raised our family there. Now that we were “empty nesters” and the real estate market was prime for selling, we decided to take the plunge and put our house on the market. Nicole was recommended to us by a friend who was in the same life phase as us and so we took his advice and called her. Right from the start we knew we had made the right decision. Nicole was very thorough about details but also compassionate and cared about how we were feeling about our sale and move from our family home.  I met Nicole and the person who was to “stage” our home one morning before it hit the market.  I was taken back a bit by the advice of the stager to basically get rid of most of our furniture and paint the entire first floor.  Nicole recognized that I was concerned and took the time to take me aside and say “we will just do whatever you feel comfortable with”.  She was very caring and helped with all the details of moving furniture and painting. She definitely knew what it would take to get top dollar for our home, and all the effort paid off. She was available to talk to any time we needed her and was very skilled during the offer process which only took a couple of hours one evening. We would recommend her highly.  She was not only an excellent agent, she has become a friend and keeps in touch with us regularly.” ~ Sandy & Reg Peters

“SUPER STAR! Working with Nicole has been an absolute pleasure. She has gone above and beyond to make the sale of our home a positive one. She referred us to an amazing team in Ottawa to find our new home AND she really stayed on top of how they were taking care of us. Nicole, truly is a professional and an expert in her field. She is someone you can trust to have your best interests at heart. I cannot recommend Nicole enough, she is a super star.” ~ Teresa Slack

“Best realtor ever .. very sweet and hardworking.” ~ Maria Trigueros

When we first discussed selling our home, I immediately thought of Nicole Brand. I have known Nicole for many, many years and I am aware of her excellent work ethic, honesty and of course, her amazing personality. I had a month old baby at the time of listing, but there was very little inconvenience upon showings as Nicole did her utmost to group them together as much as possible and to conduct them at times that would be amenable to me and my baby’s schedule. The house sold very quickly, undeniably because of Nicole’s efforts, and the transaction was smooth and without incident. Selling a home is a very stressful endeavor, and I think that it’s incredibly important that owners have trust in their Real Estate Agents. I found this trust in Nicole and I highly recommend her as a Real Estate Agent – she is so good at her job!” ~ Rebecca Brain

Are you looking for a real estate agent? If your answer is yes, Nicole Brand is the agent to call at (519) 573 1703. Right from day 1, we realized we made a right decision. Nicole is just the best of the best in Cambridge.” ~ Yves and Nadine Njike

From the time we bought our new home to the time we sold our old one Nicole was very professional, kind and generous. She called on a daily basis to see if there was anything we needed during our busy process.  Nicole was always available to help.  She even helped us with the staging. Nicole is very calm and confident under pressure and made very sure we got the best price for our house. Thank you Nicole x.” ~ Lenka & Ewen Kirk

“When looking for a home in the Cambridge area, my husband and I met Nicole at an open house for a property that we were interested in. Although the first property we looked at was not what we chose, we had the opportunity of meeting Nicole. Nicole was incredibly helpful in our search to find our new home. Nicole followed up on everything that she said she would, and she supported us every step of the way. We ended up listing our old home with Nicole and purchasing our new home with Nicole as well. Nicole was incredible, she went above and beyond! We could not have asked for a better real estate agent, we feel so lucky to have met her! Nicole helped us with everything: searching, checking out homes, being with us during the home inspection process and recommending an incredibly knowledgeable home inspector, staging our home to sell and bringing in her own items to help us get the look we wanted,  & helping us to get our home ready to sell by hanging art and changing cabinet hardware, and all of this was included in Nicole’s service. Nicole helped provide us with information and help in understanding our options as we were considering renting our previous home rather than selling, she also provided step by step information on what to expect regarding lawyers and insurance which I found incredibly helpful as a first time home buyer. Nicole was able to provide recommendations for each area that we needed to deal with: mortgage broker, lawyers, home insurance, etc. and we had an incredible experience with each service Nicole recommended. Nicole never pushed her agenda; she followed our lead and helped us with what we needed. Nicole’s services were so fulsome; she arranged for a stager to come into the home we were selling and they gave us endless amounts of excellent advice, and we had an expert photographer come in who took incredible photos that we were so proud of.  We have since recommended Nicole to others and our family who listed with her as well, were so happy with their experience too. Nicole is extremely knowledgeable about the housing market and we could fully trust her in this process. We did very well on the sale of our home, as we followed Nicole’s recommendations. Thank you Nicole for everything, you are the world’s best real estate agent!” ~ Ems Victoria

“***** (5 Stars)” ~ Ryan Cavill

Nicole was absolutely pivotal in the search for our home. Every step in the process was exceptionally thorough and detailed, every question was answered in a timely manner and the experience as a whole was flawless! We could not have asked for a better Agent to help us in finding and purchasing our first home. We would gladly recommend Nicole for anyone in the market for a new home. Thank you so much!” ~ Dennis Dixon

Nicole is a real pleasure to deal with & she has a calm demeanor and a kind personality. She is a consummate professional and very knowledgeable. Nicole represented us through the sale of our Kitchener home. It was clear during our assessment that Nicole had done her research and was well-versed in all of the comparables.  She presented her sales strategy succinctly and gave us a range of values that we could expect from our sale (which we were very happy with). Nicole’s calmness is an attribute that is strategically useful when it comes to maximizing value from multiple offers. When it came time to seal-the-deal, Nicole advocated hard for us & she is very confident! We are thrilled with how everything turned out and we got more for the sale of our house then we were expecting (in excess of the initial range we were presented with). Nicole is an excellent and fast communicator and a very kind, genuine, and hard-working person. I have and will continue to heartily recommend dealing with Nicole Brand!” ~ Ryan and Laura Marek

“Five stars is not enough to describe how incredible was our experience. Nicole is amazing, she helped us to find our home even when people said it was impossible due to the crazy market. She was always positive and kept showing us all the great possibilities. We are so thankful to have Nicole Brand as our realtor.” ~ Izabel Sibella

“Extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for your help with properties in Waterloo during a very challenging and urgent house hunt. Just wonderful! :)” ~ James Bona

“You have far exceeded my expectations! For being a first-time home buyer myself, I have to say you have made the transition process very easy. There was not a time when I had any doubts or reservations when I was in the process of buying my first home, you have made it so easy for me. You have far exceeded my expectations of a real estate agent. You went above and beyond when trying to coordinate my home inspection and mortgage set up all while I was out of the country. Even when I closed my house, you continue to make yourself available to me offering any type of assistance and maintenance with my house. If I haven’t said it before, thank you for all that you have done for me in this chapter of my life.”  ~ Amy Fischer

Steven and I retired in early 2016 and moved from York Region to Woodstock, ON. With interest rates so low we decided to invest in a rental property. Not knowing the real estate market in the Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo area we needed a well-informed agent. Nicole Brand was highly recommended to us by family that had sold and purchased homes recently with her expertise. Nicole always returned our calls/emails promptly, met us on time and was extremely knowledgeable. With her calm business approach we have purchased and renovated our new condo. Nicole was not only the perfect agent but was able to recommend a great painter. Since we were under personal time constraints, Nicole also found us new tenants, vetted them and took care of all rental paperwork. She also took pictures for future advertising. Steven and I are very appreciative of Nicole’s hard work, honesty and help. We certainly recommend Nicole to anyone needing a real estate agent.” ~ Nora and Steven Marek

Looking for a topnotch real estate agent? You just found one! With Nicole we always felt as if we were being heard and that we were partners in the process. She encouraged us to ask questions and to express any concerns, no matter how trivial they seemed.  We watched Nicole in action as within a few days of listing it, our home became the focus of a bidding frenzy. It was then that we knew for certain that we had chosen the best agent possible to represent us. Her calmness, integrity, and professionalism resulted in a selling price that we hadn’t even imagined. Put your trust in Nicole and the Brand Team and you’ll be grateful that you did. And probably you will be recommending her to your friends as we have done many times since Nicole has sold our home. ~Marlene and Roger Ubelacker
