Niki Dransfeldt | Broker

Hey guys! Niki here and I'd like to help you buy or sell your home. Listen, I'm not super salesey (is that even a word? lol) so you won't find me being pushy or trying to get you to settle on a house so I can move on to the next client. It does me no good to pressure you into buying something you will regret. I like my clients to take their time, view as many homes as they feel necessary until we find 'the one.' I'm patient, offer advice and guide you through the sometimes over whelming experience of buying a home. As a bonus, I'm pretty fun to hang out with and since you spend a lot of time with your buyer’s agent, this is a good thing! :D Oh, you're selling? I got you! I'm a huge fan of social media and excellent photography. Your home puts its first foot forward on the internet. This is where 90% of people find homes to view. So, if your home isn't at the top of its game when it pops up online, you're in trouble. You only get one chance to make that first impression and I'm the agent who will help you put your homes BEST foot forward and get it sold for top dollar as soon as possible. Call me, text me, DM me, I'm always available to chat anytime!
