					Bought a Single Family home in 2025 in New paltz, NY. Nikki is the sole reason for us moving into our dream home. My husband and I stumbled into the house buying process without knowing what we were doing. Nikki held our hands from start to finish. She was always available for questions, was quick to show us new homes. When it came down to buying Nikki knows how to negotiate. In a sellers market, against multiple bids we got the house of our dreams all thanks to Nikki’s expertise in her field. She is not only a good connection to have & a great realtor but a lovely, approachable person. She bent over backwards for us and I couldn’t recommend her enough.

					Bought and sold a Multiple Occupancy home in 2021 in Kingston, NY. Nicky found our dream home. We were very specific in what we were looking for, and she, tirelessly, enthusiastically, and judiciously walked us through only relevant homes, discussing the positives as well as the negatives and what would be involved to make it perfect. Her understanding of local laws, permitting, and building systems was invaluable. Her frank honesty earned our trust and helped us navigate important considerations we would have never imagined. She is a consummate professional, keeping the ball moving, especially during closing. Buying a home is an emotional endeavor in many ways, and Nicky's positivity and good humor carried us through the process and set the stage for how we now, 4 years later, are loving our home. We keep going back to her for our sales and buying needs and recommend her without reservation.

					Bought and sold a Multiple Occupancy home in 2025 in Kingston, NY. Nicki was helpful from the first meeting, letting me know how to prepare the property for market, what needed updating or repair.She was clear and supportive. Her read on the market was brilliant and I moved with her suggestions, expertise and strategy. She made it easeful and upbeat. Once we put the house on the market, Nicki was communicative about the showings and stayed steady. After she brought the offers and we accepted one, Nicki was on every detail and exchange to get us to a timely closing. Truly, I would not consider anyone else to work with, Nicki is bright and makes the experience positive!

					Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2025 in High falls, NY. Nickie is the absolute best. We have worked with her buying two homes and selling one. Everything single time she steps up and goes the extra mile for her clients. I've never seen her not come through in a sale - I truly think she has some magic power to get her clients exactly what they need. I cannot recommend Nickie enough, she will find you your dream home and make it a reality. Thank you Nickie!

					Bought a Single Family home in 2024 in Poughkeepsie, NY. Nickie was spectacular.  Showed us many houses and never got impatient with our questions and concerns.  Was happy to take suggestions of houses from us and also offered some on her own after doing research of what we were looking for.  She was always on time and negotiated on our behalf through the whole process.  Was so comforting to know we were in good hands with a professional.

					Bought a Single Family home in 2023 in Kingston, NY. Nicola really cares about her clients and wants them to find their next Home.  She knows a lot about the area, neighborhoods, and houses themselves as she has remodeled a few herself.  It was my first time purchasing a home, and Nicola helped explain anything I had a question about (which was quite a bit!).  I had a great team overall, and am grateful that it was she who helped orchestrate it all.  She is honest, transparent, caring, and smart.  I am proud to call her my realtor, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.

					Highly likely to recommend Nickie is an incredible realtor! She has an immediate go-getter attitude that gave us confidence through the whole buying process. We weren’t taken seriously by four other agents until we found Nickie. I chatted with her on the phone about our situation and what we were looking for, and instead of writing us off as a waste of time, she immediately came up with a game plan. She was so validating and helpful! When we found a house we couldn’t live without, Nickie got to work right away. She’s strategic, diligent, and she was incredibly knowledgeable every step of the way. We just closed on a beautiful old house! Nickie is by far the best realtor I’ve worked with, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

					Highly likely to recommend Nicola is one of the best realtors I have worked with.  She goes out of her way to understand your requirements, educate you on the market and continue to keep you updated as you go through your search.  I worked with Nicola on a purchase in the Hudson Valley and she showed me electronically multiple properties and then we visited the ones we felt fit our needs.  The one we ultimately purchased was the first property we saw but due to intense competition we decided not to proceed.  She kept a very close eye on the sale process and after it fell through twice she alerted me to the opportunity.  She helped me determine a fair price to pay and not only have a purchased an amazing property, I also own the home at the right price.  Nicola was amazing to deal with from the first meeting through to the closing process.  Top real estate broker with deep knowledge of the region she covers - best in class!

					Highly likely to recommend We literally don't think we could have found a better realtor than Nicola. We had never purchased a house before and she walked us through every step of the way, and provided unique and critical insight into every element of the buying process. She has a background in construction so every house we visited she could talk about in a very precise way, understanding what was going to need to be done to the house to move in. When it came time to buy the house, she knew exactly how to negotiate to get the price that we wanted. Truly incredible. I just had a 25 minute conversation with her, and we bought the house last week. She is always there when you need her. Highest recommendation

					Highly likely to recommend Nickie is the best! She knows what to look for when checking out houses and will point out structural, drainage, and environmental concerns to help you decide whether a house is right for you. She answered our calls at all hours and was always available, even for dumb questions we should have know the answers to. Our first mortgage was declined after making an offer and she rallied a new bank behind us to get a new application approved in half the time. We found a great house and she worked well with the seller to get the right price and concessions. She is SUPER friendly and will treat you well. Can't imagine a better person to work with!

					Highly likely to recommend Nicki is a fantastic person and simply phenomenal at her job. My partner and I were as green as could be to the Upstate NY area, and especially to buying a home here. But throughout the whole process — from our first phone call to putting in the offer to closing on the home — Nicki always put our best interests first. Her expertise was literally the key in getting us the home we wanted and she cared about our home buying process like it was her own, which means a lot when you are investing a lot of time, money, and energy into it. She is as honest, hard-working, and down to earth as they come. We are so happy to have met her and worked with her.

					Highly likely to recommend Dustin went above and beyond to make our home buying process smooth and easy. We choose to pursue new construction which we knew could be daunting, but Dustin continuously went above and beyond for us. Throughout the 8-month period it took to sign the contract, build the house and then finally close, Dustin was always just a phone call away. I can't even begin to count how many last-minute, panicked phone calls I made to Dustin, and every time he would quickly find a solution or make calls to ensure we got exactly what we needed. We can't say enough good things about Dustin and recommend him to anyone who is looking to work with someone who will really go to bat for you.

					Highly likely to recommend Nickie was terrific right from the start. She always found time to talk to me, answer my questions and I don't think I ever waited more than a couple of days to get together with her to see houses. She sent me an informative flow chart to guide me through the complicated NYS buying process, and  even pointed out a bad foundation on a house I was considering. She helped  me look for three months, and I said no to a lot of houses. Despite knowing that at my price point, she was never going to make much money from a  sale, through it all, she was positive, encouraging, kind, honest and delightful. I can't recommend her highly enough.

					Highly likely to recommend Nicola Friedman has been an absolute pleasure to work with, she is forthright, honest, efficient, responds to requests for information, and has contacts that are reliable. I have made investments over a few decades and in several states,  she is by far one of the best realtors that I have had the good fortune of working with. We found the right property for our price range, in a community that we want to live in. She works hard for you but with ease, thereby making a the process less stressful, brings constructive ideas, and sees closure to a serious investment.

He was very patient throughout the long process of me finding a home all the while being optimistic about the outcome.  He was the best to communicate with, he took all Calls, text and emails at all times of the day and night.  I always felt throughout my home buying process that I had a giant on my team with Dustin being my agent.  I would surely work with him again in a heart beat.

					Highly likely to recommend Dustin was recently the agent for my parents while they were in the process of buying their first home. I can proudly say that my parents were successfully able to close on their first home and it was because of Dustin that this was possible. He was truly a godsend during what could have been a very difficult and scary process. He was so approachable and always available.  I cannot tell you how many times my family and I called/texted him during this process and he was there to walk us through each step. Everyone needs a Dustin in their life when it comes to buying or selling their home! You can truly tell that he takes his job seriously. He was never pushy, was always honest and sincere with us whenever we had any questions or concerns. I cannot say enough good things about the guy! I truly don’t know what we would do without him.   It is because of him that my parents are able to enjoy the home they had their eyes set on. I cannot recommend Dustin enough!

Time and days of the week don't matter to Nickie, if there's something for you to see, she's there. Being a first time homeowner, Nickie held my hand the entire time, walked me through every process, answered all my questions, and worked day and night to negotiate on my behalf! I feel fortunate to have had such a knowledgeable, patient and kind person by my side.
