"My fiancé and I met Nicole at a housewarming that she threw for a friend who was also one of Nicole’s clients. We didn’t think we’d be ready to buy a house anytime soon, but we reached out to Nicole 6 months later to see what we’d need to know once we were ready. Just 3 months later, we’re in our own beautiful NOVA townhome, all thanks to Nicole!

Nicole was a teacher, an advocate, and THE ideal guide throughout this entire process. She has a great team and network, and if you’re looking for a home in Northern VA, she is a sure-shot way to join the satisfied homebuyers club!"

"Nicole proved to be an experienced, trustworthy guide and advocate throughout my rather lengthy homebuying search and purchase. As a first-time home-buyer, I was utterly clueless about the home hunt and attainment process, but I had a pretty clear idea of my needs and wants for that home. Nicole stayed in close contact with me throughout the months of our quest, and in a tough sellers’ market, when traditional methods were not fruitful, she went the extra out-of-the box mile to try creative strategies. When an opportunity to buy MY DREAM townhouse in MY DREAM neighborhood presented itself, I was impressed by the tactical negotiating techniques she used to get the price where I needed it to be. She has so many reliable connections as well! With her recommendations my mortgage loan process, title settlements, Home Inspection, etc, etc, went so smoothly.

Nicole and I made a great team. Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions a person ever has the privilege to make in life. My decision changed my life for the better, and Nicole was the perfect person to support me over that threshold.

"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!

"I am dreadfully derelict in writing this review, which in no way reflects on the amazing job Nicole did in helping my husband and me find and purchase our first home. She was recommended to us by good friends after our initial realtor refused to explain key points of the process and continuously pushed for us to purchase above our price range. Nicole took the time to answer all our questions, work with us to determine a reasonable timeline, help us identify what we wanted and needed in a house, and reassure us when things seemed overwhelming. She was highly responsive throughout the process and was an excellent advocate in negotiations. Best of all, she clearly listened and provided invaluable advice and direction in the quest to find “our house.” I was thrilled then, and I’m still in love with the place almost two years into homeownership. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking to purchase a home in the northern Virginia area, and will not hesitate to call should I find myself in the need of future realtor services."

"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 was absolutely amazing every step of the way with selling my townhouse. Her knowledge and professionalism through the entire process helped keep everything running as smooth as possible, as well as keeping me calm and informed through some hectic times! I can’t recommend her enough!"

"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 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."

"Nicole Duffey has been a blessing to work with. She helped me move from being a hesitant shopper to a much more knowledgeable homeowner. Every step of the process, I have been able to call on her expertise. Her passion for the job has been evident from Day 1, and I can’t imagine working with anyone else in the future if/when I decide to sell. I can’t say enough about the care and support Nicole provided me. No question was too small or too big; if she didn’t know the answer herself, she knew who to ask! If you’re in the market to buy or sell in Northern Virginia, don’t hesitate to let Nicole be your guide."

"I was in a tough situation as a renter, and Nicole treated me with respect and dignity as she gave me the information I needed to find a new rental in a tough market. My life situation has since changed, and I hope to be able to purchase a small home in 2-3 years. If it’s in Virginia, I know who I will go to for this service!"

"My husband and I were first time home buyers with a strict budget, so we needed a realtor with lots of knowledge, patience, and expertise - and that’s what we got with Nicole! She walked us through each stage of the home buying process with ease. We bought our home in the midst of the pandemic and were continually impressed with Nicole’s emphasis on our health and safety during the process. We just closed on our new home last week, and we are thrilled with how smoothly everything went. Highly recommend!"

"If you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy realtor who will have your best interests at heart, you should work with Nicole Duffey. She is knowledgeable, patient, and up front with all expectations. She responds quickly to texts, emails, and calls and goes the extra mile to make sure you are taken care of. Our working relationship with Nicole started with an introductory call which included a Q&A to get to know each other and a review of each step in the home-buying process so that we were clear on what we would do next. This was much appreciated because we always knew what was coming and did not ever feel blindsided or surprised during our home buying process. Our situation was somewhat challenging because we were living in Maryland and looking to move to Northern Virginia so viewing houses was not always something we could do spur of the moment. Nicole helped us find our house by scouting houses for us in advance and texting us pictures and feedback so that we could decide whether or not we wanted to make the drive to see the house. Furthermore, we had some pretty specific needs for our home - some which contradicted each other (for example, the need for privacy vs. the need to be in a neighborhood that was somewhat walk-able with sidewalks and street lights). Nicole admitted she was up for the challenge and she did not disappoint. With her guidance and optimism, we were able to find a house that checked almost every box. Nicole is a capable and confident professional and took all of our questions and angsty moments in stride, walking us through different scenarios and answering even the silliest of questions. This was by far the most significant purchase of our lives, and we found the experience was smooth and enjoyable with no major issues. This is no doubt due to all of the hard work Nicole put into making sure we were well informed and comfortable with our decision."

"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."

"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."

"Nicole is a highly responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful agent. She will work with you to nail down exactly what you want; guide you through any difficulties that arise; and fiercely advocate for your best interests during the process. Nicole will help you define what you want; and then work tirelessly to make sure you get what you want."

"Nicole was the perfect realtor for us. She helped us find a fantastic home as first-time homebuyers in an incredibly competitive market and was supportive every step of the way. We had lots of questions and she was always patient and willing to take the time to make sure we were comfortable with every situation. We had a Zoom session early on to make sure we were a good fit and to educate us on the complexity of buying a home. Most realtors we met felt very predatory, and we knew that Nicole would truly work hard for us and do all that she could to help us find a home. Nicole never comprised on our wishlist and advocated for us at every turn. She was always honest with us and provided levity when we were stressed. Nicole was quick to respond and extremely clear in all our communication. In addition, Nicole is just a fun, friendly person who is a joy to be around. I really cannot recommend Nicole enough!"

"Nicole was professional, approachable, highly available, and wonderfully respectful all throughout our home buying process. She answered questions clearly and often with an enjoyable flair. If anyone can break down the home buying process in a way that can make it less stressful and more encouraging - even in a crazy market as ours - it is her."

"Nicole was the second realtor I contacted at the behest of my best friend. When I spoke with her I had zero idea what I was doing as a first time (wannabe) homeowner and I was doing everything backwards. When she took over and saw my very specific needs she was as open and up front about how the search would take a while, and with the housing market the way it was at the time, competitive as all get out. Despite some very sad setbacks due to the market being so competitive, Nicole did everything in her power to find us the perfect house. She walked us through every step of the process, was always quick to respond to any questions, didn’t get annoyed when we’d walk in a house and go NOPE, and when we found our home, she fought to help us get it. And we did!! She goes above and beyond in every way, and she’s very open about the process. I recommend her to ANYONE buying or selling in northern Virginia, she can’t be beat in her dedication."

"Just bought a condo in Ballston on a very short timeline caused by an unexpected divorce. Nicole did everything possible to get me in the right home quickly, including saving me from myself when I tried to take some poor choices. Caring, responsive, and professional...Nicole helped me keep my mortgage broker on track for closing, and helped me work with contractors to get my new condo quickly painted. Great experience overall, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor in NoVA / DMV areas"

"Nicole did an amazing job in the challenging Northern Virginia market at finding the right house for us. She’s amazing at understanding the market and providing honest feedback about the challenges and opportunities that fit within our schedule. Her contacts within the industry are useful, providing my assurance that my house was exactly what I needed for the level of effort I was willing to put in."
