CLIENT REVIEWS

What matters most is what our clients have to say

Dear Nick, I just wrote the final disbursement check for the Estate. I don’t believe it would have happened without you. Words really cannot express how grateful we are that you stuck with us all that time and fought for us – a voice of optimism and reason and steadiness. “Thank you” is not adequate – but I do thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Acquiring a home can be challenging and requires real estate brokerage expertise to insure hard-earned dollars are put to best use through careful market evaluation and negotiation. For me and my wife, Georgene, Nick Pallis provided just this expertise. Nick’s years of experience in the brokerage industry and instinctive nature took advantage of opportune timing in assisting us with a phenomenal buy. Nick’s tenacious and proactive approach ensured that we not only stayed on track, but also helped source multiple lenders and hit a tight closing date – all without a hitch. With a command for real estate intelligence and client advocacy, we highly recommended Nick Pallis.

I have worked with many Realtors over the past few years and have never been more satisfied than with my experience with Nick Pallis! His expertise and guidance lead me through an arduous process that resulted in the sale of a difficult parcel. I also came to know Nick on a personal level and found his high integrity and values developed my complete confidence and trust in him. I would highly recommend Nick to represent any of your real estate needs.

We were happy to submit the review below, with an all 5-star rating for Nick. This guy is the best of the best… We were relocating from CA to WA and met Nick through a friend. In short order, we determined this is exactly who we should be working with. Nick was knowledgeable, professional, experienced, and well principled. Shortly after a few phone conversations, we realized we’re likely dealing with the areas finest RE professional. Nick showed patience and prowess throughout the entire end to end process. Given the nature of the market, he educated us on exactly what to expect and it all came to pass. He said there would potentially be deals lost due to all cash bidders and multiple offer scenarios and to be mentally and financially prepared for what could come. This transparency and candidness put us in a better position to win the home we’ve been waiting for. After finally closing we can happily say Nick exceeded our expectations – by a BIG MARGIN! Thank you Nick, you are a real pro and we will recommend you to every person in the area looking to transact some type of real estate business. You are the best! Truly, the best.

So far I have sold three properties with Nick and will definitely use him for the next. Enough said. He keeps abreast of every aspect of the transaction, great negotiator and communicates with his clients extremely well. A+++++

Nick, I am stunned. This is something that Phil and I had been trying to achieve for years. Thank you for all your hard work and patience.

Best real estate agent in the Northwest! Great to have worked with Nick when purchasing my new home. They say patience is a virtue. Turns out I bought the first property we looked at, but that didn’t stop Nick from showing me all of my options within my budget. I was potentially interested in purchasing a single-family home. At my request we looked at condos, town homes and single family properties because I had been out of the local market for a while. After patiently showing me everything that met my needs, I decided on the place he first selected for me. Does he know me better than I know myself? Needless to say, I’m very happy with my purchase and very grateful for the help negotiating a deal that I was very happy about. He stuck with me for the whole process. Thanks Nick!

When we finally decided to sell our property we interviewed several brokers to find one who could help us navigate the complexities of today’s real estate market. Nick stood out among them all not only for his charisma and personality but also for his depth of knowledge and his ability to communicate. He researched our property and met with city planners to maximize the possibilities of the property and then presented to potential builders/buyers. His plan worked well for us. Nick was with us every step of the way, speaking with us several times a day throughout the negotiating process. We realized a better outcome from the property than we expected thanks to Nick.

Incredible experience with Nick! He went above and beyond to sell our home within 6 days and get us our dream home in a difficult situation! Would not hesitate to refer Nick to anyone. No one could have done better!

Stop searching. Forget anyone else. Nick Pallis is the realtor you want. The person you want on your side. I cannot recommend working with Nick enough and would be excited for the opportunity to work with him again in the future. To write a review about Nick Pallis is to not only write about a diligent professional of the highest order, but also to write about a truly wonderful person with integrity and intelligence so rare in these times. The full review: We met four years ago after the death of my father left me with his share of an undeveloped piece of property. This property wasn’t just undeveloped, it was completely raw land covered in trees, slope and erosion issues, bound by strict county zoning and regulations. The only reason I inherited it was that it was seemingly valueless and more work than it was worth to sell. It was almost donated just to unload the property tax burden. Selling this piece of land was no easy task. Sorry. It was easy for me and my family, not for Nick. From the beginning and with every step on the way to a very very successful conclusion, Nick thoughtfully considered my family’s situation and how best to do right by us. Whether it was patiently explaining each step of the process and our options BEFORE it was time to act, allowing us to make informed decisions or being thoughtful enough to initiate contact with us to give us status updates about various pieces of the puzzle coming together. There were even times every so often, when something was taking awhile to get through the city or county woodwork, he would call just to check in with us and say there was still no news but whatever it is we were waiting on was still on track! Amazing!!! We never wondered what was going on. Never felt abandoned during a long and arduous process. Never were on our own. Nick was always there. Tirelessly leading the charge. Selling this black sheep of a property. Before we could even have an idea what we could get out of this property let alone put it on the market, Nick had to plan and execute a strategy of discovery and development that maximized every dollar we spent. He not only organized a team of specialists to perform geotech surveys, soil samples, drainage analysis, clear up three generations of family title work etc but also correctly built all this into foundation of data to support his sales strategy. A strategy even more successful due to his continually up to date knowledge of the real estate, regulatory and political arenas. Thus, after all of his work and that of the professionals he brought in to move the project forward, we were more than prepared the day a buyer approached us… approached us out of the blue before we had the property on the open market. Nick provided the buyer with our portfolio of data about the property and they were amazed. The completeness of our data was above and beyond their expectations. An all cash offer well above anyone’s hopes and without contingencies came the next day. 30 days later the deal was done. So while this was a dramatic and wildly successful sale, it was almost sad. The process was long and involved, and definitely had it’s ups and downs over the years. Through it all Nick was there and grew into a part of our family. He was with me as I switched careers, went through school again and have launched off on new ventures. He will always be a very positive part of those memories and an inspirational role model how to conduct professional business. If you are still reading, give Nick a call and then be prepared to write your own glowing review.

Nick’s representation in the listing of my home and purchase of another was beyond my expectations and prior experiences regarding the buying and selling of a home. He was recommended to me by a business associate and now I understand why.

Nick did a great job in all aspect of the process. He stayed on top of communication with all the parties involved during the negotiation process and offered great recommendations – He went above and beyond in his market analysis for similar properties, which helped us make a firm decision. Nick is very professional and a wonderful person to work with. Thank you so much, Nick!!! We love our new home!

We worked with Nick for 2 years after meeting him at an open house. He knew that we were not going to buy a home or sell our current home immediately, but he was still very much willing to work with us to hone in on the kind of home and property we were looking for. Nick took my wife and me to many different properties over those two years. This enabled us to become realistic about the market, our geographic parameters, and the kinds of prices associated with what we wanted. It truly helped us better imagine the kind of home and property we were looking for. Nick was also very candid about the quality of the construction of the homes we saw. Through all of this he was communicative, friendly, and proactive. We ended up with a home that was, in many ways, more than we imagined, and we sold our former home quickly and at a good price. We highly recommend Nick.

I have dealt with Nick in the buying or selling of 4 properties. I have always been very impressed with his knowledge, responsiveness, compassion, and ethics. I feel that his hard work ended in the best and fairest outcomes of each transaction with minimal time and complications, even when my expectations were considered challenging. Thanks Nick.

Nick was very professional! His advice was always on target and helped me to make good decisions. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I was especially appreciative of his knowledge of the market and the complexities of the sales process. His dedication to doing an excellent job was evident in everything he undertook! As an out of state seller, Nick handled all things that I couldn’t do long distance. He took care of my property as if it was his own. It was comforting to know Nick was there and would handle anything that needed to be done. He was perfect!
