Nicola S.

We were first time homebuyers. Didn't really understand much of the process before we got started. Found a home we were interested in and let Nicola know. She got an appointment for the house we were interested in. It was the first house we saw and were informed they were going to choose a winning offer the next day. So with Nicola's help we got an offer in right away the next day and started the whole process. Nicola and Gabby are great at explaining what is happening and providing information which was great for us as first time homebuyers. The rough parts of the process were out of Nicola's hands and more on the many other parts of the home buying process but she did her best to smooth things out for us when she could. Long story short, we got the house. We got what we wanted and things worked out.

As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I knew this would be one of the biggest financial decisions of our lives. Naturally, we had many questions and wanted to ensure we were working with someone experienced, knowledgeable, and well-connected in the real estate world. That’s when we found Nicola and her team—and we couldn’t have made a better choice! From day one, Nicola was incredibly patient, guiding us step by step through the entire process. Her strong relationships with real estate agents, inspection companies, termite specialists, etc. made everything run much more smoothly. Her negotiation skills are phenomenal—we didn’t give her much room to work with, yet she still made it happen! When we encountered a hurdle with termite clearance, Nicola and her team (huge shoutout to Gabriela!) handled it quickly and efficiently. Like any major purchase, buying a home comes with its fair share of stress, but Nicola knew exactly how to ease our worries and keep us on track. We started searching in October, found our perfect home in December, and officially closed in January—all thanks to Nicola’s dedication and expertise. If you’re looking for a skilled, well-connected, and truly dedicated real estate team, look no further than Nicola. She made our home-buying journey an incredible experience, and we are beyond grateful!

Nicola Speranta is a consummate professional, an exceptional negotiator, and an expert strategist, but above all, she is client-focused. Throughout the process of selling and purchasing a home, she became not just my realtor, but also my friend. Last year, after an unexpected termination of employment, I faced the difficult decision to sell my home of 37 years in Arcadia. I was fortunate to have Nicola at my side for this task. From our first meeting, Nicola and her excellent assistant, Gabriela, won my trust. They understood how emotional and challenging it was to sell my home. Nicola didn't push; she listened to my needs, and because she heard, I was able to follow her recommendations without hesitation. Selling my home was arguably one of the most important decisions of my life, so I cannot emphasize enough how crucial trust is in this process. In one of the toughest real estate markets during the summer of 2024, Nicola sold my home for $120K over list price after just two weekends of open houses. Nicola and the entire Speranta Group team transformed my home into a highly desirable real estate gem! Equally important, as my buying agent, Nicola skillfully negotiated the purchase of my current home in one of Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods. Nicola Speranta is my "forever" realtor!
