- We had the best experience using Nicky to sell and buy our homes. I've had 8 real estate transactions and this is the first time I can say a realtor expertly negotiated the sale of our home, with multiple offers, from $15K below ask to $36K ABOVE ask. Nicky did a great job of communicating and following up on the status and open areas. Not only that, but she spent 10+ hours with me in the trenches getting my house ready for sale. And I don't mean staging, she was shop vacuuming my garage!! I repeatedly told her to go home, that I would get it done in time, and she said, "this is what I do for my clients". We looked at many houses to buy and couldn't find exactly what we wanted. Nicky reached out to her industry contacts with what we were looking for and found us an amazing home off market! We were spared the bidding war that our buyers had and we will be forever grateful for Nicky finding us our true dream home.Aileen R
- Throughout our search, we knew we could count on Nicky to provide terrific advice and counsel. We truly appreciated her professionalism, positive outlook, and creativity. If you want a true pro who will help in every way possible to find you the home that’s right for you, you can do no better than to partner with Nicky Johnson.Siobhan
- Great experience buying a home with Nicky. She was helpful and communicative and always willing to go above and beyond. She had good knowledge of the areas which was helpful to find my home. I strongly recommend her.Dougskap
- With the professional and competent services of Nicky Johnson, we just bought our first property in over 25 years! I have to say that it was such an easy and pleasurable experience due to Nicky’s experience and skills in quickly helping us define exactly what we were looking for and narrowing the search to appropriate properties. Nicky is knowledgeable about the San Diego area and provided many insights into neighborhoods and properties, leading us to making informed decisions. She answered every inquiry promptly and was very flexible in scheduling viewings quickly to accommodate this hot market. She has many contacts in the profession and could always find out answers for us, or steer us to other experts in the field. Personable and genuinely interested in helping us find just the right place, my husband and I felt that she had our best interests at heart, rather than making a quick sale. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicky to all my friends as an agent with integrity and expertise.Property Manager/Owner
- We have just completed the sale of our Orange County California rental property to my tenant. We’ve experienced two previous escrows in our lifetimes: our personal residence 52 years ago and this rental property 41 years ago. Nicky Johnson handled the transaction but only after my husband and I fired the listing agent who had opened escrow and drawn up documents reflecting many mistakes including the wrong names for the seller and a selling price missing the last three zeros (000). The selling price of a property with comparable sales of over $800,000 was less than $1,000. Our daughter suggested we use Nicky Johnson, a San Diego realtor and friend. Nicky is truly a knowledgeable, experienced realtor and patient teacher. I questioned everything. She would promptly respond making legalize simple English. When I learned that agreeing to the selling price was not the end of negotiations, Nicky was there with “this is something you have to do” or “no way, I suggest this or that”. Her patience is beyond incredible. We continued step by step always aware the next document received from the buyers might not be good news but always confident we would get through it. Selling or buying a property is a process of attaining a goal requiring knowledge and experience. Nicky Johnson is the realtor we will recommend to anyone looking to attain this goal. Jackie FDan S
- Nicky was a pleasure to work with and an awesome realtor! We were first-time home buyers and she explained everything thoroughly and made sure we were comfortable with every decision we made throughout the process. She was always available for help and questions when we needed it. She was very knowledgeable about every step of the home buying process which allowed us to feel very confident with every step forward we took. We are so thankful for all her hard work and help. Thank you Nicky!Elyssa S
- Nicky is the best! I chose a pretty tricky house to purchase in a pretty market. Nicky made the whole process go so smoothly. I couldn’t more highly recommend her - and have already sent her number to everyone I know who may be in the market. She’s awesome :)Emily T
- Nicky Johnson is a true real estate professional and I feel lucky to have had her sell my home. Nicky made herself available from the time the home was being prepared for sale until the close of escrow and beyond! She coordinated all of the various professionals involved and always accommodated my busy work schedule. Overall, Nicky helped the process go very smoothly (even when we hit a couple unexpected bumps). She works diligently to ensure her clients are well represented, have the information they need to make informed decisions, and receive the best service every step of the way. We got top dollar and $100,000.00 over asking price. You can't go wrong with Nicky Johnson on your team!Elisa
- I found myself with the responsibility of selling a home for an aging family member. Knowing nothing about real estate, I needed an expert. Nicky Johnson was an amazing help! With her real estate experience, she was able to take the reigns and manage every aspect of the sale. She patiently guided me through all the paperwork and was able to answer any question I had along the way. She had the connections to get the job done and was able to close the deal quickly and above the asking price! Such a great person and real estate agent!Julie K
- Nicky is the hardest working Real Estate Agent in North County !! Not only does she communicate and negotiate well - her follow up is excellent. Nicky consistently goes above and beyond to help with repairs and getting our condo ready for showings. She markets across the industry and used her contacts to find interested buyers ! Highly Recommend Nicky Johnson.Glenn R
- Nicky was an outstanding partner and friend to work with during the process of buying our first home. She educated us on the process, different neighborhoods, and the market. Nicky is a joy to look at houses with and was never pushy - she was truly invested in helping us find the best fit for us. She went above and beyond to help us navigate a very trying and challenging buying process. She is highly communicative, well connected, and never made us feel like we had a dumb question or suggestion. I recommend working with Nicky, 10/10 experience. She will go the extra mile for you.Alyssa H
- Nicky did a fantastic job getting us into our dream home. I have known Nicky for a long time and she is personable, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares about her clients. She is also determined and 100% present with you throughout the home purchasing process. In 24 hours we viewed a property, placed an offer, offer was accepted, and escrow was opened - it was incredible. As a first time homebuyer, Nicky was with me every step of the way and she often reached out just to say hi and see if there was anything she could help with, which meant the world to me. Nicky really cares about her clients and she goes that extra mile to make sure her clients are above and beyond satisfied. Beyond the home purchasing process, Nicky helped me find an insurance agent that would cover CA home insurance (as it's hard to find these days!) and also connected me with another one of her clients that was selling a beautiful couch, which we bought and Nicky was there with us as we picked up the couch too. She did a flawless job getting me into the home with the overall purchasing process, but also was there for things beyond just the purchase - I feel so lucky. I think the world of Nicky and she is such a go-getter and a wonderful, loving person. You will love working with Nicky!Julia W
- Awesome. Nicky was with us every step of the way. With her help, we were able to put the house on the market less than 10 days after our tenant vacated the property. In those 10 days, she was at the house directing all the trades that needed to work quickly to get the house ready for sale. She made great recommendations on the things we needed to change to make the house sell for top dollar, including changing the light fixtures and door handles. She went way above and beyond what I expected my realtor would do. Hire her!Magdaleine E
- Nicky did an excellent from the start of the process all the way through. Answering questions, providing guidance, finding tenants. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my homeClay B
- From the first meeting we knew that Nicky was going to be great, but she was beyond great! Why, because she was personally invested from day one through closing. Our home needed a lot of updates, and she handled every detail with a focus on what we would need to complete to have a clean inspection. Nicky had a ‘vision’ for the place and set about transitioning the place into a showcase on a shoestring budget. Nicky conveyed her ‘vision’ to the staging company and the transformation was stunning! I don’t know if it was the fresh baked cookies during the open house or her excellent marketing, but we had offers in no time. We sailed through inspection and closing without any drama and attribute that to Nicky as well. There are a lot of realtors out there, you owe it to yourself to choose one that you are going to enjoy working with, one who is going to be with you every step of the way, and one that will get top dollar for your home. Go with Nicky!Vhofstetter

- Nicky did an amazing job helping us buy our first home! She was on top of every aspect of the home buying process from setting up showings, to navigating an ultra-competitive market, to making sure escrow went smoothly. We could not have imagined the process being any more straightforward, and that was 100% thanks to Nicky and her expertise. As first-time home buyers, we weren't really sure what to expect but Nicky was always available for any questions to make sure we felt comfortable and confident with our purchase. We would absolutely recommend Nicky to anyone who is looking to take the stress out of the home buying process!Seanleyshon H
- Nicky did a great job helping us purchase our house. We live out of state and she was very communicative. She promptly answered calls and emails, keeping us informed about every development. This is the second time we've worked with Nicky and highly recommend.Laura W
- Nicky was the ONLY choice for us when we were ready to sell. Before listing, she helped navigate clean-up and repairs to get our house in shape while we were on a planned vacation. When we came back all the work was done and ready for the market. She is very professional, knowlegeable about the market and enjoyable (FUN) to work with. She also helped to make all the inspections and the closing process go smoothly. We needed to rent back due to medical issues and she helped in getting the buyer to work it into the offer. Throughout the process she answered our questions, was empathetic, and very professional. We would certainly recommend her if you are selling a home.Perrygglou
- SUPERLATIVE EXCELLENCE! Working with Nicky has truly been an outstanding experience. From the moment we first connected, Nicky’s professionalism, expertise, and commitment to excellence were immediately evident. Nicky listens to understand, she truly cares as a fiduciary and had my back 100% of the way with a sense of ease and attention to detail. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about their clients the way Nicky does and has the expertise to handle the planning and execution of such a holistic purchase as a home. For context, I am a wealth management advisor, and am incredibly impressed with Nicky's guidance and professionalism. Nicky went above and beyond to ensure that my home-buying experience was seamless and stress-free. Her deep understanding of the market, attention to detail, and unmatched negotiating skills made all the difference. Every step of the way, Nicky was there to offer guidance, answer milions of my questions, and provide invaluable advice. She took the time to really listen to my needs and made sure that every property we viewed was a perfect fit for my lifestyle and budget. Importantly, she took care of every aspect of my home purchase and ownership A-Z, and coordinated with all other professionals involved. White glove, Rolls-Royce service and excellence. What really stood out to us was Nicky’s genuine dedication to making sure we found the right home, not just any home. She never rushed me into making decisions, always putting my best interests first. Her honesty, transparency, and clear communication made me feel completely at ease and created an environment of success. Nicky's approach is not only professional but incredibly personable! She truly cares about people and puts her clients first. You will be a priority and that is nice and rare! Thanks to Nicky, I were able to secure our dream home without any stress or second-guessing. I have already recommended several friends and colleagues and she has accomplished the same success for them. Some were struggling with other agents in a 'tough market' and those worries and problems were gone as they engaged Nicky. If you’re looking for an exceptional real estate agent who is reliable, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to her clients, look no further than Nicky Johnson. She is simply the best in the business, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!Vladimir K
