Nicole advocated for our family every step of the way, offering thoughtful guidance and impeccable foresight that helped us feel prepared for whatever came next.

Nicole was undeniably outstanding throughout the entire process. She's diligent, detailed, hard working, responsive and above all, extremely understanding.

My wife and I couldn't be happier with our choice to work with Nicole! 5 stars!!

"Nicole really helped us in making the process of staging and selling our house as painless and easy as possible. We took her advice on making minor updates to our kitchen as well as staging the overall house and received a ton of positive reviews from neighbors and friends that saw the end result. It was well worth trusting her vision and feedback on what buyers valued most in homes at our price point. With 3 young kids it was certainly a challenge for us to prepare and keep the house clean for the open house and other showings. Nicole went out of her way to help us with this process between helping us find storage solutions for some of our furniture and last minute walk-throughs to pick-up kids' toys. Last of all and maybe most importantly, Nicole was a trusted advisor and voice of reason as we went through the home selling process. She anticipated when we needed a text to remind us not to stress or proactively share updates from a showing to let us know how it was going. We felt really good about the end result and would recommend Nicole to anyone in the area who is considering selling their house. "-The Collins Family11 William Street Darien CT, 06820

Nicole Blackman is a true professional Real Estate Agent. Nicole guided me through a long distance move from South Carolina to Connecticut. After reviewing numerous apartment complexes that Nicole sent me, I came across exactly what I was looking for and Nicole took it from there. Step by step she handled everything with daily communication between the apartment leasing office and me. It took a lot of work on her part to complete the transaction. She made it so easy working from a distance. In addition, Nicole has an award-winning personality. She is someone who is kind and caring, with a beautiful smile, and she makes you feel good to be around while helping you find a new residence. You know everything will turn out perfect by having Nicole Blackman as your Realtor. I would recommend Nicole to whomever is looking for a place to live. She will help you make your dreams come true.

My fiancé and I recently enlisted Nicole's services to find our first apartment together. Operating on a tight budget, a small window of time and very specific location requirements Nicole was able to find us a wide array of rental options both within our price range and location. She was extremely responsive to all of our needs, always getting feedback about what we liked and what we did not like about the apartments we viewed. She knew the area extremely well and was able to provide information about any neighborhood we were looking in. We were both moving to CT from two different states. Nicole was extremely efficient in showing us as many places as she could while tightrope walking our schedules. We absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a place to live, and we will certainly be using her again if the need arises
