A (seller’s) good real estate agent will find you a buyer. An outstanding agent will advise on the most cost effective pre-listing improvements, recommend competent tradesmen/handymen to effect repairs, intimately know the market from a pricing standpoint, time the listing date precisely, professionally host an open house, sort through the resulting multiple offers and select the buyer most likely to close escrow, negotiate as though it was her money, have access to a top-notch escrow agent, attend to the hundred and one details between contract and closing, and express a warm “thank you” thereafter. My wife and I had the pleasure to work with one such individual—Nicole Fruin. A genuine professional, Nicole has our utmost recommendation.

Nicole was knowledgeable, personable and responsive from day one. My husband and I were looking to buy our first home in California and we needed an agent who knew the area and would provide the right kind of support. Nicole communicated clearly and often, showed us properties fresh on the marketand offered clear, sound advice when needed. We found an amazing property and home in the area we wanted at the price we wanted. I would highly recommend Nicole as a buyers agent!

Nicole's dedication to her clients is incomparable. Can't say enough wonderful things about her. She helped us sell our lovely home and got us numerous offers above the asking price. You'll hit the realtor jackpot if you hire her.

Nicole worked with our buyer's agent when we were looking for a new home, and I could not have been more pleased with Nicole's responsiveness, patience, communication, and overall attention to detail. The home buying process can be a stressful one, but Nicole was a great resource at alleviatingmany potential stressors from setting up inspections, communicating with the seller's agent, and coordinating documents. She was with us from the minute we said "help us find a home" to the moment we had keys in hand - and after.

We carefully evaluated the options on who to work with in a home search. As part of that research, we discovered the delightful Nicole Fruin. We were immediately impressed with her knowledge of the local area. From our first meeting I knew we made the right choice in working with Nicole. She had a keen sense of what we were looking for and diligently worked to show possible options. She provided us with the comps, relevant neighborhood info, and a search plan that we could put into action. There are a lot of key characteristics the make Nicole’s work stand out including: a passion for real estate, knowledge of both the neighborhood, market conditions, experience working with listings in our range, and her professionalism. Importantly, once we entered escrow, Nicole was extremely helpful in navigating the inspection details. Thank you, Nicole for a job well done!

Working with Nicole helped make our first home purchase in Sherman Oaks Hills as delightful a process as you could have. My wife and I first met Nicole during an open house, and of the dozen or so agents we met at other open houses, she was the most proactive to help us. She emailed us a followup, explained her process, and invited us to meet her. We toured multiple neighborhoods, as she pointed out the plus/minuses of each unique sub sub market and the preferable areas we should focus on. Just two months later, after tireless effort, we moved into a dream house and Nicole was there every step of the way through inspections, escrow, insurance, and so much more. We would highly recommend her for her local knowledge, process expertise, responsiveness, and negotiation skills. 5 Stars for Nicole!

We worked with Nicole for over a year to find our home in Sherman Oaks. Nicole was optimistic throughout the process and continually searched and searched until we found our perfect home. She spent a lot of up-front time viewing houses in advance to make the process more efficient for us. Shewas continually on top of things throughout all of the negotiations, inspections, move-in and even after the home purchase, I continue to keep in touch with Nicole to get suggestions for insurance, contractors, etc.... I would welcome the opportunity to work with Nicole in the future!

Nicole made our first home buying experience incredibly easy - which is a lot to say for how incredibly confusing and stressful the process is. THANK YOU, NICOLE!!!

Nicole handled the sale of our house when we relocated to the east coast. She handled everything with her knowledge and efficiency right up until the closing. No attitude, just genuine care for us as clients. We highly recommend her to handle you sale and search for your new home.
