Testimonials

 

Real feedback from buyers and sellers Nicole Schell has worked with across Waterloo Region, Guelph, and the surrounding area. Every testimonial below comes directly from a past client.

 
“As the executor of an estate, it was important to me that the home sold quickly while also achieving the best possible price. From the very beginning, Nicole developed a clear strategy and guided me through every step of the process, from preparing the home for the market to negotiating the sale. The results exceeded my expectations. The home sold in just two days, received multiple offers, and ultimately sold for more than $100,000 over the asking price. Nicole's knowledge, communication, and strategic approach gave me complete confidence during what could have been a very stressful time. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and results-driven Realtor.”

“When we decided to sell our home, the house directly next door came on the market around the same time. Nicole explained that presentation, pricing, and timing would be important in making our home stand out to buyers. She developed a strong marketing plan and made sure our home was positioned well from the start. Our home sold while the very similar property next door remained on the market, even though it was listed at a lower price. Nicole's strategy and market knowledge made all the difference. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would gladly recommend her.”

—

“As repeat clients, we didn't hesitate to call Nicole when it was time to sell one of our investment properties. Our goal was to have the property sold before it sat vacant after the tenant moved out. Nicole listened to what we wanted to achieve and came up with a clear strategy to make it happen. The results were excellent. The property sold in just nine days for above the asking price, and the entire process went smoothly from start to finish. Nicole kept us informed throughout and made sure everything stayed on track. We have been very pleased with the results once again and would not hesitate to recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, strategic, and results-driven Realtor.”

“We were looking for a smaller home for retirement and knew condo living would suit our lifestyle, but we weren't sure whether an apartment condo or townhouse condo would be the right fit. Nicole helped us work through the options and understand the differences so we could make the right decision with confidence. She guided us through the entire buying process, kept us informed, and made sure we understood what mattered at each step. When we found the right home, Nicole carefully reviewed the pricing and market data with us and helped us determine a strategy we felt confident in. We always felt that her advice was based on what was best for us, never simply on getting the deal done. Her experience and negotiation made a real difference. We secured the home we wanted at a price we felt very comfortable with, and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome.”

—

“Before listing our home, we had one clear goal. We didn't want it sitting on the market for months, but we also didn't want to price it so low that we left money on the table. Nicole took the time to understand our situation and came up with a strategy that made complete sense. The results spoke for themselves. Our home sold within two and a half weeks for a price that met our expectations and was well supported by the market. Throughout the process, Nicole explained every step, kept us informed, and gave us confidence that we were making the right decisions. She provided clear, honest guidance from day one and told us exactly what we needed to hear, not just what we wanted to hear. If you're looking for a Realtor who combines a clear strategy with excellent communication and strong results, we would highly recommend Nicole.”

“I met Nicole at one of her listings, and I immediately knew she was the agent I could work with. My requirements were very specific, and it took a little while before the right house came along. I highly appreciated Nicole's patience throughout the search. When the right house did come by, we found ourselves in a multiple-offer situation, and it was key for me not to lose this one. Nicole presented a strategy, guided us through the offer process, and we won the bid. The house is now mine. Winning the bid was one thing, but there were several other factors that had to be dealt with. Nicole and her team made sure that the whole process went smoothly, issues were resolved quickly. She even arranged for a window to get repaired. She makes things easy! In conclusion, I am delighted with my purchase. Nicole and her team made the entire process feel effortless, and I can't thank her enough for being my agent.”

“A family friend, who engaged the services of Nicole Schell to sell her home, gave me a glowing review of the experience. This strong endorsement led to a discussion with Nicole about selling my late father-in-law's home. From the outset, Nicole demonstrated her experience with estate sales, including a clear understanding of how they differ from a typical real estate transaction. She quickly integrated what was important to me, offering a plan and strategy that led to an excellent outcome. Nicole radiates kindness and caring and yet also draws on her competitive negotiating and technical skills to achieve the best result for the client. She is a pleasure to work with, and I am happy to add my excellent experience to the ones that came before me. Thanks again, Mike!”

“When we decided to sell our house as part of our move to downsize, we knew it could be an overwhelming and stressful process, especially given the market conditions. Nicole guided us through the entire process from beginning to end with patience and confidence. She helped us understand each step, provided clear direction, and made sure we always felt informed, even when things became more complex closer to closing. What really stood out was how approachable and responsive she was throughout. Even during the more stressful moments, we felt supported and like we had someone experienced in our corner. We would highly recommend Nicole.”

She really took the time to understand what we were looking for and guided us through each step with patience and care.

We're very happy with the outcome and grateful to have had her by our side.”

“Nicole Schell has been my realtor and friend for the past 15 years. She helped me purchase my very first home, followed by the home of my dreams and since then has helped me navigate two more homes, following where my life journey has taken me. During this time, she successfully sold 2 of my houses while putting proper value on my homes and back in my pocket. She cares deeply for her clients and truly listens to your needs and wants as a buyer and seller. I would highly recommend using Nicole as your Realtor and can assure you that you will be making the best decision for yourself and/or your family! Sincerely, Angela”

“I can't thank Nicole enough for her help in selling my townhouse. From the start, Nicole was friendly and professional. This was my first time selling a house and Nicole provided easy to follow and easy to understand guidance throughout the entire process from the start to finish. I can honestly say that her professionalism and commitment to working with me earned my full confidence and trust in her. Despite the difficult market, Nicole took the lead to help find the most suitable buyer, which made it nearly hands-free and stress-free process for me. If I had to go through another sale / purchase process, I would look to Nicole without a second thought. I also wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nicole to anyone else looking for a realtor! Thank you, Jae”

“We had such a positive experience working with Nicole during our home search! From the very first viewing in January to finally getting the keys to our new home in Norwich on August 6, 2025, she guided us with patience, professionalism, and dedication. We visited many homes together, often mixed with fun coffee, which made the whole journey both productive and enjoyable. Even when we changed our search strategy, Nicole quickly adapted and supported us every step of the way. In the end, we found the perfect home, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner in this process. Highly recommended!”

—

“As first-time home buyers we couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Nicole to help us purchase our first home. From our first viewing we knew that she was committed to finding us listings that were tailored exactly to what we were looking for, and felt that all her care and attention was dedicated to helping us in our search for our forever home! Now sitting here in our new living room and all settled in, we are so thankful for Nicole who went above and beyond in taking care of us as we wrestled with different listings and were able to narrow down our search criteria to help find the perfect home for us. Every step of the way, she provided us with her endless expertise and advice to make sure we were as informed as possible moving throughout the process - she worked tirelessly helping us with bidding, contracts, and backing us from search to purchase. Couldn't be more grateful to have had Nicole help us find our first home!!”

“We recently had the pleasure of trusting the sale of our most prized and significant investment, our home, to Nicole Schell. We met Nicole at an open house over three years ago and since then several members of our family have used her services. We recently listed and sold our home in Guelph just as the market was starting to level off. We were definitely worried about how it might turn out, but within a month Nicole helped us sell our house for a price we were happy with, allowing us to purchase our new home in Waterloo. The purchase of the house in Waterloo came close to the wire, but even though all three of us were in different places, we were able to make a successful offer and now we're in our forever home. We choose to work with Nicole because she is professional, punctual, supportive, understanding and always available. She gives us input, but ultimately leaves the decision making to us while checking in to ensure we're happy with our decisions. Real estate is more than a financial transaction and Nicole understands that and ensures you are supported with each and every step. She even helped us manage our cat during open houses!! We would recommend Nicole if you are looking for a successful, positive experience!”

“Nicole is a friendly, respectful professional who goes above and beyond for her clients. It took a few years for the right place to come along, but when we had a home to sell, Nicole was our real estate agent of choice. She provided useful suggestions prior to listing and helped the process go smoothly and swiftly. Thank you Nicole!”

“Over the past few years, Nicole managed several real estate transactions for us. We leaned on her knowledge and recommendations.

“We are extremely pleased with Nicole Schell's service and expertise for the recent sale of our house in Cambridge, Ontario. Nicole is very amicable, easy-going, responsive, organized, approachable and amazingly efficient in helping things run smoothly behind the scenes. During the initial meetings, Nicole explained everything clearly and made a number of suggestions which made a real difference in the results. We sold our house for almost $60,000 over asking and if not for her skillful negotiations, this would never have been the outcome. The extra cash helped us to buy a gorgeous house in an elite area of Maple Ridge, British Columbia. We are extremely grateful for her professionalism and dedication and we highly recommend her without hesitation. Please feel free to contact us personally in regard to the reference we have provided for Nicole Schell.”

“I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to Nicole, for representing myself in the sale of my home. It was not just a home, but my life for the last sixteen years, which abruptly transitioned into a new life. Nicole understood my circumstances, listened to what I would like to achieve during the sale process and post sale. Nicole took time to thoroughly explain matters in a professional manner. Even in the ever escalating world of real estate bid wars, Nicole was rational, professional, honest and sincere in her manner and demeanour with myself and other real estate agents. She even helped with moving furniture! My transition has gone smoothly, and I have settled nicely in my new environment. Nicole and I have kept in touch and will continue to do so. My highest recommendation is to have Nicole as your real estate agent, but also as a friend that is true to your relationship. She does both extremely well.”

—

“I have known Nicole for the last 5 years. She was instrumental in the successful sale of my house and the purchase of my new home. Her experience, honesty and knowledge of the Waterloo area enabled her to guide me into a family friendly environment conducive for my son. She keeps me apprised of the market situation and community information. She is the best agent I've ever worked with!! Thanks Nicole!”

“I strongly recommend Nicole to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Working with Nicole was fabulous. She is a proactive, knowledgeable, professional who ensured everything was executed perfectly. Nicole had exceptional advice on showing our home and a fantastic strategy that ended in multiple bids and a selling price 25% above asking within days of listing. She was with us whenever we needed her, every step of the way. Thank you for your professionalism, dedication and perseverance in helping us make this stressful transaction an easy and pleasurable experience.”

“About three and half years ago Nicole assisted us in finding and purchasing an apartment. We really appreciated her advice and care throughout the purchase process. Based on the good experience, we decided to consult Nicole again last year; this time to sell our apartment, which she did this Spring. We received the same excellent service and care and Nicole worked hard for us. Again, we were very pleased with the process and the result. We and Nicole are not just agent and buyer/seller anymore. We are friends forever. Well done Nicole.”

—

“Last year, my wife and I relocated to Ontario for work and Nicole was recommended to us by a friend. I cannot thank Nicole enough for her truly exceptional level of service. Her attention to detail, her knowledge of the market and her ability to listen and to defend our interests allowed us to settle in comfortably in Kitchener, Ontario. Needless to say, we decided to work again with Nicole when we decided to sell our current property and buy a new one. Nicole offers you all her time and always has your interest at heart!”

—

“When I wanted to sell my house, I didn't choose a realtor who has a picture on a bus. I chose Nicole because I knew Nicole has a proven track record in selling homes. I knew I needed the house to be sold quickly, and for the best price. She negotiated an excellent price even during a market downtown because she understands real estate and the local market thoroughly. What I didn't know was how deep her connections are in the community; she has a wonderful business database. Need a painter? Here are the choices. Need plumbing repairs, or a lawyer? She's got the people. Nicole was committed to getting every service the house needed–right away—which was extremely valuable to me. She also kept in close touch with me before, during, and even after the sale. I highly recommend Nicole for her strong track record, for her connections within the community, and for her professionalism.”

—

“When you're selling your home, attention to detail during the entire process from start to finish is a must. We listed our home with Nicole knowing her expertise and passion for her real estate profession. Nicole was very thorough and exploratory when listing our home. She examined all the attributes our home had to offer and she understands the market in the KW area extremely well. Furthermore, Nicole communicated with us consistently with instantaneous feedback after showings. Nicole's exceptional efforts resulted in our home selling within 2 days for full list price. That's excellence in real estate and we'd recommend Nicole as your representative for anyone seeking a truly exceptional home sale experience!”

—

—

“The process was difficult at times, but I want to commend not only on your professionalism, but also your calming personality which certainly helped us during this transition. We have learnt a lot during this process. One thing is that there are unethical agents out there, but thankfully you are one of the good ones. We would also like to say that you responded very quickly whenever we had concerns, and that was a comfort to us. Your follow ups were always prompt, and you made yourself accessible whenever we needed. Your advice was always in our best interest and you did not subject us to any undue pressure. We were like to thank you again for your assistance, and would definitely recommend your services to anyone who needs it.”

She was so helpful in assessing my needs and showing me only the places that would be suitable to me. I felt like she really understood what I wanted and didn't just take me to any old place that was in my price range. She listened to what type of neighbourhood I desired and searched high and low to help! We had great conversations about all the requirements that I had to meet, and the documentation required. I always felt like I was well prepared for each step of the buying journey. I highly recommend Nicole. Not only is she a great agent but a wonderful person through and through!”
