Niki and Skylar both made selling my home one of the easiest experiences that I have had as homeowner. They were attentive to details, kept me informed and had the best negotiating skills that made the whole transaction move smoothly from start to finish. The genuine concern, the down home personalities and the fun way that made every conversation feel as if I had known them for years. It was a comfortable feeling. I highly recommend Niki and Skylar whether you are buying or selling. They are the best in my opinion.

Niki and Skyler communicated a marketing plan from the beginning and stuck with it. There were no dead periods during the marketing and activity was consistent. They recommended staging the house and we believe that was important to generate interest and activity early in the listing. Once we had interested buyers, they were diligent and effective in moving things along. Likewise, once under contract, all details were managed well through closing.

Niki and Skylar have complimentary communication styles of being able to manage the legal aspects of buying a house. They have a professional and personal way of engaging with individual needs. The negotiations were seamless. They have market knowledge of what a buyer should be aware of in North Carolina. All of their strengths made for a pleasurable environment to purchase a new house in a new state.

Niki Long took all of 3 days to find a buyer for my house and help me close the deal. I met her - liked her - signed with her and 2 weeks later the deal was done and the funds were in my account. It couldn't have gone better for me.

Here are some key points about Niki because I can't describe how amazing of a job she did quickly. She's very knowledgeable in her line of work and it shows clearly when you work with her. She would always help you find an answer to any question. Niki is reliable and will be there for you throughout this whole confusing process. She was always on time and was ready to help with whatever was needed. I have never worked with anyone who got back to me as quickly and consistently as Niki. I was able to move at my own pace and I never felt like I had to wait on her for anything. Most importantly Niki was kind. With all of the paperwork and numbers she made it all feel less overwhelming. Niki would tell you how things worked in a way that felt "human". When I was ready to start looking for a house I had no idea on where to begin. I was referred to Niki by a close family friend, and that was the best decision I could have made. Niki is made this intimidating process so simple and really went above and beyond! For all of the many questions I had, Niki would respond quickly and if she could not answer it herself, she would be sure find someone who could help. Niki was on top of everything making sure that everything was smooth and efficient. I could go on about how thankful I am for Niki's help. So if you're looking for someone to help you find your home, i couldn't recommend anyone more than Niki Long.

This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of working with Niki, and I truly can’t recommend her highly enough! Both experiences have been exceptional, and it’s easy to see why I chose to work with her again. Niki is a true 5-star agent who makes the entire process seamless, stress-free, and even enjoyable. Her extensive market knowledge, keen attention to detail, and clear communication kept me informed and confident every step of the way. What truly sets Niki apart is her unwavering dedication to understanding her clients’ needs and exceeding expectations. She’s consistently responsive, patient, and offers thoughtful guidance tailored to my goals. Her professionalism is unmatched, and her warm, personable nature makes working with her an absolute joy. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, I can’t recommend Niki enough. Working with her is a decision you’ll be glad you made!

We chose Niki as our realtor for our move to Hickory as she was extremely helpful to our son when he purchased his first home. She did not disappoint! Our move took longer that we anticipated - she stayed in contact with us without being a nuisance. During the sales process, she always went the extra mile for us. Without her assistance, we would have had to make extra trips from Virginia to North Carolina. I would recommend Nikki to anyone purchasing a home. Her knowledge of the market and North Carolina laws were invaluable to us.

I had the pleasure of working with Niki Long during my recent home buying process. I can confidently say that her professionalism and dedication made the experience smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, Niki went above and beyond for my family. One aspect that truly sets Niki apart is their extensive knowledge of the real estate market. She was able to provide valuable insights and guidance on the home we were interested in. As well as property values, and the neighborhood, ensuring I made informed decisions at every step of the way. What impressed me most about Niki was her proactive approach. She was always one step ahead working with the seller agent and lender, anticipating potential obstacles and finding creative solutions to overcome them swiftly. Niki's attention to detail and thoroughness gave me a sense of confidence and peace of mind, knowing that no stone was left unturned throughout our time working together. Niki was an excellent communicator. She responded to my questions or concerns quickly and kept me informed throughout the process. Her friendly and approachable demeanor made it easy to discuss my concerns and preferences. Additionally, Niki possesses a vast network of professionals in the real estate industry, including mortgage brokers, home inspectors, and contractors. Their connections proved invaluable, as they recommended trustworthy experts who provided top-notch services. This network helped streamline the entire buying process and saved me valuable time and effort. Niki was exceptional when we reached the offer stage. She navigated the negotiations quickly ensuring that my best interests were protected while maintaining a respectful and professional relationship with the seller's agent. Thanks to her expertise, I secured a lovely home at a great price. Altogether I wholeheartedly recommend Niki for all your real estate needs.

Niki called me the day my house went back on the market. After being listed for 6 months with no action. Then the next thing I know, she is at my door in person to check on me and the house. At that point I knew she was the agent for me. Niki scheduled an appointment with my wife Toni and myself. We sat down and worked on a game plan. And she had our house sold in 12 days. She is one incredible person, which makes her an awesome agent. I would recommend her to help sell your home or buy your next home. Thank you again Niki.

Niki is very knowledgeable and knows her stuff and the market. She got our house sold in 12 days after our previous realtor let it sit on the market for 6 months. If you do what she asks then she's a realtor above all realtors. We would definitely use her again if we have the chance. We also tell everyone if they ever need a realtor that Niki is your girl.

Having Niki as a realtor was the best decision we made! She was able to get us top dollar in this fluctuating market and hedge our expectations with reality. We knew we wanted a quick sell and her knowledge of the market had our home listed for less than a week to get the amount we wanted. Niki was extremely helpful and friendly throughout the entire process including taking the time to help stage the home for pictures and holding my hand when delays began towards closing. Overall it was a whirlwind experience and Niki was right beside me the entire way giving encouragement, support and recognition of the huge undertaking of selling my home.

We recently relocated to Hickory NC and feel so lucky to have found Niki! Even with the market being so competitive, she made our home buying experience wonderful + fought for us to get the best deal we could. She was very proactive with scheduling inspections and tradesmen to give us estimates for repairs. Even after we closed, she has been available for any questions or concerns.

Niki did an amazing job helping us find and close on our first home, we looked at a couple houses together until we found a home that was worth putting an offer on. Immediately after she got in contact with the seller's agent and found out more about the home. Our offer got accepted the next day. Throughout our viewing she was honest on the potential of a home and pointed out possible issues to ensure we understood what we could run into down the road. Her communication was always quick when it came to our questions and updated as needed. Highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who will walk you through the steps of buying or possibly selling if that is your situation. We do believe we got our money’s worth through her negotiation before our closing and even on our close date. Niki was present from the beginning to the day of our closing. Even after she was done representing us she would check-in to see how we were getting settled in.

Both my wife and I had a very positive experience with Niki! Like most couples we had different views and values. Niki understood the differences and worked with us both to not only represent the potential properties in the different ways but find potential ones to fit our diverse needs. The end to end experience was great as Niki was informative and quickly found answers and information not readily available. The relationship never ended with the transaction and we continue to enjoy the firendship!

Nicki helped us sell our home and now it was time to buy and she was the first person we called. Niki’s knowledge and expertise in all areas of purchasing a home was invaluable. She was extremely patience and flexible when it came to showings. When we finally found “the one” she had it closed in a month (just like when she sold our home!) Whenever issues came up, we made one phone call to Niki and she resolved them immediately. We know she did a lot behind the scenes (with the lender, seller, lawyer, etc.) to make this whole transaction happen and we will be forever grateful to her for doing that for us. Plus, she made the whole experience so much fun with a lot of laughs along the way. We have found a lifelong friend and agent in Niki. We highly recommend her and if we ever move again she will be the first person we call.

Niki was amazing. We were looking for a place to rent before we put our house up for sale and we were not having any luck. We talked with Niki and knew right away we wanted her to be our agent. She was so knowledgeable and confident, not to mention fun. We told her about the difficulty finding a rental and in no time she found us one. She gave us great suggestions for staging the house we were selling and even helped us to do it. The house barely listed for a week when it sold and she had it closed in a month. Niki’s knowledge and expertise in all areas of selling a home was invaluable. Plus, she made the whole experience so much fun. We highly recommend her and when it comes to buying again she will be the first person we call.

Niki was amazing! She sold our home in about a week and had our new home closed in about a month. Her knowledge and keen eye about all aspects of the house -structure, different systems, aesthetics, etc. - was priceless. She worked diligently with inspectors, lender and lawyer to make sure we closed as soon as possible. She quickly took care of any issues that arose and made the whole process a lot of fun. We will definitely use Niki for any future real estate purchases.

Nicki, was and is a blessing to us. She helped us sale our home in Bethlehem and after our decision to come back to North Carolina she was the only realtor we would consider working with to help us find a new home. She was so thoughtful and considerate of our situation. She really went to work for us and after SEVERAL, SEVERAL house viewings and several calls she never gave up and she located us the perfect home and we would use her again if needed. She is a blessing and so easy to work with.
