About Nicole Duffey

Gaming & Theatre Nerd, Busy Mom, Elder Millennial, Professional Real Estate Advisor

Once upon a time I earned a master’s degree in theatre and my early career was spent working for arts organizations and not for profit groups as a coordinator and administrator. Professionally, I have always found myself (and enjoyed) being the person who figures out something complicated and then explains it to everyone else. I excel at managing complex logistics that involve following policy, law, and navigating the emotions and decisions of trying to get something accomplished with a group of humans.

As a full time Realtor since 2014, I’ve helped hundreds of people figure this stuff out and I am honored by each person who reaches out to me to discuss their real estate needs. Every person’s situation is unique and I’m the sort of agent who takes the time to get to know you and what really matters for your situation - allowing us to find the right path forward for YOU!

I love having a professional life that truly makes a difference in the lives of others.

"Nicole is an incredible human being! My Partner and I were first-time homebuyers with a VA loan. We had no idea what we were doing! Nicole was professional and helped us truly understand the fine points of home-ownership."

"My husband and I first met Nicole a few years ago at a bridal/wedding expo. At the time, we weren’t looking for a house, but kept Nicole’s information for future use. Fast forward to 2017, we began our hunt to start our first home buying experience. Luckily, Nicole was available to help us. We knew that with her can-do attitude and professionalism, she would help us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. And she did! Nicole worked to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible; explaining every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. The best part about working with Nicole was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. We couldn’t have had our first house without her expertise. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a home in the Northern VA area!

"Nicole is a flawless and consummate professional. Thanks to her attention to detail, organization, and expert knowledge of the Fairfax housing market, our house sold in under 48 hours and above the list price. Nicole is incredibly easy to work with: she brought in a professional stager and a long list of excellent home-improvement professionals to help us put our best foot forward. She even recommended staying at a local AirBnB during the showing so our cats (and us!) would be comfortable. It was no accident that our house sold so quickly and the closing was hassle-free. As the old saying goes: she made it look easy. Thank you, Nicole. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy in this area."

"Nicole came highly recommended by a coworker who had used her to buy a house in the Manassas area. Before we decided on Nicole, we talked to a couple other realtors to make sure we made the right decision. Although we knew the city where we wanted to buy our first home, some of those realtors tried to steer us to other areas while others wanted to show us properties right away, even though we made it clear where we wanted to buy and that we wanted to understand the buying process first. Nicole stood out of the bunch. She didn’t push her way of doing things – she listened and adapted herself to us. When we first met her, she was on time and came prepared with material to share – about who she was, her experience, and how she worked. She took the time to give us a crash course on home buying because we wanted to know! She was articulate, her knowledge was evident and she was clearly a people-person – all which put us at ease. It was these first impressions that made us decide on Nicole – punctual, pleasant, and happy to hold our hand so to speak throughout the process. Once she started taking us around to look at houses, our experience with her only continued to exceed our expectations. She remained patient and understanding as we asked a million questions and she provided thorough answers to our satisfaction. If ever she didn’t know something – which was rare – she would research it and get back to us. She remained punctual and was very responsive to our emails and texts. Her reliability, honesty, and knowledge made it easy for us to decide on the lender, the home inspector, the title company, and the other people involved in the home buying process. We shopped around for these services but ended up going with her recommendations and they did not disappoint. The other parties involved were as competent as Nicole and got the job done. They were dependable and timely. The process was so smooth that we didn’t realize how much they all do behind the scenes for us. I would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking to buy. Whenever we sell, I would absolutely trust her to execute the same level of great work that she did for us now."

"Nicole’s modus operandi is different from any realtor I’ve ever met. She was comfortable to interact with, honest, frank, caring, and totally in our corner every step of the way. She took the time to figure out what kind of home would suit our needs and why, and then she tirelessly did the work to find us exactly what we wanted. She has been a dream to work with from a contracting standpoint as well. She’s highly responsive, answers any and all questions with a smile, and engenders absolute trust. If you are looking for or need to sell a home in Northern Virginia, I highly recommend Nicole."
