"Nicole Cox was referred to us as a real estate agent by a local contractor that we knew. We were very impressed with her and the suggestions she gave us in preparing our house for sale was very helpful. After several meetings with her, we established the selling price and gave her the keys. The next day, she called us and told us she had a firm offer for the asking price to the first prospective buyer. We accepted the offer. Nicole was especially helpful and knowledgeable about the online documents and signing details that were necessary as we were not able to sign and review them locally. Our relationship with Nicole and her excellent performance as our representative made selling our home in Palm Springs possible with minimum difficulty."
