  • Nick helped me buy a home

      Nick is hands down the best realtor I've experienced. My wife and I worked with Nick on the search and purchase of a new home in San Mateo. He is extremely knowledgeable, courteous, patient, and just a great person. He really listened to what was important to us, provided great perspective, and always had our best interest in mind. He expertly navigated a successful preemptive offer and some of the COVID delays through the closing process. During the closing process he helped to connect us to reputable contractors for work we wanted to do was always available to meet us at the house to get estimates. It was above and beyond what we would expect. We had such a great experience that we are now working with Nick to sell our apartment in SF. My wife and I very much appreciate him and certainly recommend Nick to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home. My 2-year old would too as she always loved taking a trip to see Nick.

    • Nick helped me buy a home

        Working with Nick has been a pleasure, and we can't thank him enough for helping us find our dream home. My husband and I had been searching for a home for close to a year, from San Francisco to all the way down south in Sunnyvale. We had been outbid several times, and finally narrowed down our search to the Peninsula area. We knew then that we had to change agents and find someone who's familiar with the area, and that's when we connected with Nick. From the very beginning Nick was very easy to communicate with, and took the time to understand our requirements and budget. He's very knowledgeable about the neighborhood (Peninsula) and market trends, and could always answer our questions or provide invaluable insights. He's also well connected with other agents in the area, which is a plus. When it came to making an offer, Nick was always honest and open about what a competitive bid would be. However he never pressured us into something we weren't comfortable with, and always made sure we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision. When we finally won the bid for our home and moved in, Nick was kind enough to check in with us periodically to make sure everything was going well and that we weren't having any issues with the house. Needless to say if you're in the market for a house in the Peninsula, definitely get in touch with Nick!

      • Nick helped me buy a home

          My wife and I had been searching for a home on and off for a few years using a handful of different agents. We were put in touch with Nick and he clearly stood out from the other agents we had worked with as knowledgeable, trustworthy, and caring. He helped us narrow down our search, taught us a lot about the home buying process as first time home buyers and helped us through buying a wonderful townhouse, which was only our second home we put a bid on. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nick to anyone else and we're planning on getting back in touch with him if we're ever back in the market in the future.

        • Nick helped me buy a home

            The level of stress when buying a house in the Bay Area goes without saying, I had prepared myself and my family for a long arduous process. However, having Nick as our realtor made this entire experience relaxed, efficient and ( I can't believe I am saying this) fun! Nick is extremely knowledgable, he genuinely tried to get to know our families and our needs, he opened our eyes to things we had no idea we needed to consider when buying a home and he stayed focused, patient and light-hearted along the way. He continued to check on us even after we moved into our new place. I can't thank Nick enough and just to echo all the other reviews here - We did consider ourselves lucky to have Nick on your side!

          • Nick helped me buy a home

              Nick provided amazing client service during our hunting experience, and he continues to help us, even weeks after we closed escrow! He is quick to respond to emails, even after hours and on weekends, and diligently answers all our questions. He provides great insights about the real estate market and each house we visited. He points out pros and cons of each house and neighborhood. He is honest and straightforward. When you find THE house, Nick is a great negotiator and gets the deal done! I greatly appreciate how Nick stayed calm through the whole process, even when issues came up. Finally, Nick is well connected to contractors for home repairs. We would use Nick again if we went house hunting again. I highly recommend him to everyone looking to buy a house in northern CA.

            • Nick helped me buy a home

                Nick has been a tremendous help for our home searching journey. He is very knowledgeable about the local market (esp the peninsula), is very responsive and is very well-connected. Nick is also very open and honest, and has provided a lot of great help at the critical final steps - making our offer, nailing down the condo and closing the transaction. We are grateful for his service and would definitely recommend him to friends who are interested in buying a property on the peninsula.

              • Nick helped me buy a home

                  We moved to the San Francisco Bay Area for my wife's work. Being new to the Bay Area we were unfamiliar with the housing market and were out bid on three houses and were coming up on the end of our temporary housing period. We found a house in Montara and wanted to make an offer but due to a unique for sale by owner situation, our original realtor said he couldn't represent us. We contacted the relocation company and they assigned Nick Delis to handle the purchase. Nick handled a difficult seller and we were fortunate to be able to live in a home with an amazing ocean view. Three years later we were moving again for my wife's work and contacted Nick to sell our Montara Home. Nick gave us advice on what we needed to change in order to get the best return on investment and spent a minimum amount of money on painting, landscaping and staging. Nick's laid back demeanor put us at ease during this stressful time. He handled the contractors as well as all the other details and hiccups that occurred with the house sale. He kept us well informed during this period and gave us sound advice regarding the sale leaving all final decisions to us. He never once hesitated to put our interests first and, as a result, we sold our house at well above our expected sale price. It was only because of Nick's kindness and generosity that we were able to purchase a home in the Bay Area in the first place. Nick is an amazing realtor and, more importantly, a man of the highest character. If we find ourselves back in the Bay Area we hope we are fortunate enough to be able to work with Nick again. From the wife: I agree with everything my husband said. Let's face it, you never get a seamless process with home buying and selling especially when relocating for a new job but with Nick in your corner you come pretty close. Nick's involvement in buying and selling our home enabled me to focus on the challenges of joining a new company.

                • Nick helped me buy a home

                    Prior to working with Nick we had a different agent that we struggled with for months. Once we changed agents to Nick, we were able to buy a house with just 2 offers (we made 10 with the previous agent). Nick took his time to learn what we were looking for and help us find some good houses even in this tight market. Where Nick really shone though was his connections and knowing how to bid. He helped us write competitive offers and then also knew many selling agents and was therefore able to help us get the information we needed to make strong offers. He even helped us negotiate a lower price after out bid. Basically Nick is the best!

                  • Nick listed and sold my home

                      Our family re-located from the East Coast in 2014 and bought our first ever property with Nick. This past Spring we sold that property, and bought our new home in San Mateo, all through Nick. He is amazing and goes way beyond being just a realtor - he is a true friend and always has the needs of his clients as his utmost priority. From working around the clock, giving great advice without being pushy and having an amazing knowledge of the market, we couldn't have asked for a better, more trustworthy person to look out for us and deliver us our dream home - twice!

                    • Nick helped me buy a home

                        We were very lucky to have met Nick. Nick helped us find a home in the tough peninsula housing market. We looked for 5 months. Half way through we wanted to give up and settle for any home but Nick was insistent on not giving up on what we truly wanted and kept us in check. Thank goodness we listened to him because now we have found a home we are really happy with. We have no regrets!!! My husband and I talk about how we are so glad we are where we are now. Even after we moved in we had some issues with the carpeting. We called Nick and he even reached out to the seller's agent and for her involved to get the problem resolved until we were satisfied. We truly are so thankful! We still keep in touch now. We reach out to him with problems and he still helps us find a solution and it's been over a year since we have moved in! We wanted a really who would find us a home as if they were looking for their own and that's what Nick did!

                      • Nick Delis was a pure pleasure to work with in finding our new home in Palo Alto. He brought great insights into the market, understood our personal preferences and showed extraordinary patience during our selection process. Nick was there for us every step of the way in a highly complex market.

                        - Ed H.
                      • We were extremely fortunate to work with Nick Delis in this very challenging peninsula housing market. We moved to the Bay Area from another country and being new to the area, Nick showed us numerous properties in Millbrae, Burlingame, Hillsborough, San Mateo, San Carlos, Palo Alto while we were trying to determine the best location for our family. Nick has extensive experience in the real estate business spanning the entire peninsula. He was courteous and friendly and also assertive by contacting property agents/owners to obtain information on our behalf. We felt that he was our partner, helping us analyze the pros and cons of each property/location, often with an enormous amount of patience. We had searched for houses with Nick for almost one year before finally purchasing our home. We really appreciated that he never got frustrated with the fact that we were so picky and indecisive. In addition, we were very lucky with his expertise when negotiating the offer on our home. We couldn't be more pleased with his high professionalism and level of service. Even the title agent complemented us while closing on the house for having such a great agent.

                      • Nick Delis was the secret to our success in finding and purchasing our home on the Peninsula! We were so lucky to have found him and recommend him *without reservation* to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. Our family recently relocated from the East Coast and we were coordinating selling our house on the East Coast, house-hunting on the West Coast, starting new jobs, and getting our kids settled into new schools. Nick helped ease our stressful transition by making sure we were well-prepared for the competitive and dynamic Bay Area real estate market. He sensed our level of intensity in finding the right home and responded by steering us in the right direction and always representing our best interests with his excellent judgment and intuition. He is a kind and caring individual and is so dedicated to his clients - you will find that he works at all hours and is very responsive, all while having a positive outlook and focus on client service. Nick goes above and beyond, and has even helped us after closing to arrange estimates and work that we are planning to do on our new home. We could not have asked for more!

                      • I was impressed starting with my first conversation with Nick. Before my relocation, he had been assigned to me by my company - the only other experience I had with an assigned realtor was absolutely underwhelming, but with Nick I felt like we had hand-picked him to match our personalities and our needs. He spent an hour on the phone with me to explain the local market, optimal timing, and although I was eager to get started months before it would have made sense to do so, he offered to take us around on neighborhood tours. Being a longtime resident of the Bay Area, he was able to quickly hone down on areas that met our needs and wants. We didn't waste time on homes that would have been aesthetic choices that didn't meet our other needs, nor on areas that we fell in love with but that would have required unmanageable commutes for our lifestyle. We were (and are) disturbed by the standard of bidding wars for this area, and Nick was able to circumvent this process through a good relationship with the listing agent for the home we eventually bought. Lastly, I casually referred to him as "Uncle Nick" to our child who accompanied us on tours - this just speaks to how much we like him as a person and not just as a realtor. If you are in the market, it's worth it to take a few minutes and reach out to Nick and see if you feel as well-matched as all of the reviewers on this site do.

                      • I would like to acknowledge Nick Delis for all his extraordinary efforts and assistance in purchasing a home in San Mateo County. I currently reside on the east coast and was looking to purchase a second home, close to where my daughter was residing. I only had a two week window to secure a deal. Nick was invaluable in providing outstanding guidance and counsel in this search. His knowledge and understanding of the area and market were spot on. In addition Nick was always cognizant and respectful of our requirements and would never recommend any property that had undesirable characteristics(near power lines/stations, highways, etc). As you know the market in this area is very aggressive and fast paced. We identified a lovely home that was priced right at the upper limit of our budget. Nick was aware that this property was very desirable and reasonably priced for the area and that we had to move quickly or loose the opportunity. Nick drafted a proposal to the sellers that was accepted and we purchased the home. In addition, given we are not from the area, Nick has been very gracious to assist us with recommendations for landscaping services, sprinkler repair, masonry contractors etc, a year after the sale. In my mind that tells you a lot about the character and integrity of this individual

                        - Judy L.
                      • Getting to know Nick Delis has been such a pleasure when we were trying to find our way in the most perplexing housing market in the Bay Area. We felt very fortunate to have Nick as our agent and confidant. We were relocating to the Bay area and were faced with numerous challenges as the first time buyer in the Peninsula area, Nick quickly became our source of relief. Nick knew the market inside out, was very resourceful and very patient with us. Nick always went the extra miles, was very proactive and assertive, and was always available and responsive. Nick brainstormed and helped us adjust our criteria between what ultimately mattered and where we needed to compromise. With Nick's intuition and deep insight of the current market, we were finally able to purchase a house to call it home, and we couldn't have been happier with the neighborhood we landed based on Nick's guidance and direction. We highly recommend Nick to everyone looking for a place to call home in the Bay area.

                        - Keyhan and Susan
                      • My wife and I had the opportunity to work with Nick on our relocation from Southern California to the Bay Area. Although this was not our first relocation, it was our first time being exposed to the market in the Bay Area. Nick is clearly an expert on the Peninsula's real estate market. He knows the key players, understands the approach to pricing, has a keen eye for properties that truly fit his client's needs, and is lights out when it comes to making an offer and negotiating.In addition to the above, Nick knows how to make a stressful process much less stressful. Let's be honest, purchasing a house in the Bay Area sucks. Nick understands the process and the stress that goes with it and does a great job of coaching you through it. He let's you voice your opinion and he shares his thoughts, but ultimately it is your call. Nick is also very patient and willing to do the work you need to make an informed decision. He is there with you for every step of the process and is always willing to pull the disclosures, etc that you need when you are deciding when to make an offer. And finally, what I was impressed with was Nick's approach to the offer and the negotiations. He is a stud when it comes to this. He does a great job of active listening, which allows him to pick up on the small nuances needed to improve an offer. The proof is in the pudding here: many of my friends put 10-20 offers on homes before they were able to lock something down. With Nick's help, we found our dream home within 3 offers.If you don't want to lose your shit in an overly competitive market, I would recommend Nick Delis.

                        - Tim T.
                      • If you are looking to buy a home on the Peninsula, Nick is your guy! He helped my husband and I find the perfect home for our family and young kids. He helped us understand the crazy real estate market up here which is unlike any other in the nation. He is also very patient and willing to answer any and all of your questions and help you make an informed decision about where you are putting offers. Overall, if you want to get into your dream home in this market, Nick is the best!

                        - Kathryne T.
                      • When my wife and I relocated from Southern California to the Bay Area, we selected Nick Delis based on his many years of experience and him being a Peninsula native. I cannot say enough good things about Nick from his personality, professionalism, responsiveness, and in-depth knowledge of the region. He was the right agent for us as we had some specific needs while looking at various homes in an aggressive market with low inventory.In a hot market, sometimes buyers need to consider non-traditional homes from fixer-uppers to complete tear downs. Nick was with us the entire way and was very supportive and accommodating in helping us evaluate diverse options with his detailed insight. His responsiveness also impressed us. All the expertise in the world does nothing for you if you find a deal in a hot market and can't jump on it. Nick's responsiveness helped us get our bid in as well as being able to evaluate deals off market.If you are in the market for a home in the Bay Area, you need as many cards stacked in your favor, and having Nick's knowledge and regional expertise on your side can be a big plus. Nick was our partner in our home buying experience and he was great in helping us get the right home in the right location. He is smart, organized, reliable, experienced, and well connected. We have very high expectations and Nick delivered. Thank you Nick!

                        - Henry M.
                      • I Live in San Mateo and have worked with Nick to sell and purchase homes from the month of May to July of 2017. A true testament to Nick's work ethic and dedication to his clients is his willingness to reply to my phone calls and e-mails eight weeks after the purchase went through. Nick was always very informative and detailed with his responses to questions. Nick got us a good and fair price for the sale of our condo and helped to close a deal on another house with six prospective buyers. Before the purchase Nick went through the details of the home inspection and disclosures with us point by point and then helped to provide contact information for companies and contractors who could help us fix any problems we came across.Nick gave great advice throughout the selling and buying process and communicated efficiently and effectively. Purchasing in San Mateo can be very stressful due to the limited supply, but Nick helped guide and motivate us until we found our amazing house. I highly recommend Nick to any prospective sellers or buyers in the San Francisco Bay Area.

                        - Grant and Laura
                      • Nick was absolutely awesome and a pleasure to work with! He represented us as buyers in a recent transaction on the Peninsula, and was instrumental in making sure our offer was well represented. We had a super tight turn around on our offer (literally 2 hours due to a preemptive offer being put in); Nick's clear communication and rapid response is why we were able to secure the property. We also sincerely appreciated the time he spent educating us about the areas that were in our price range which really helped us narrow our search.Can't say enough good things about working with him - and to boot, he is actually a really fun person drive around with while you are looking at places. 5+ stars!

                        - Allison and Stephen
                      • We've had the pleasure of working with Nick since we moved to the Bay area from the East Coast back in 2013. We've had our share of agents when we were looking for our first home and when we got connected with Nick, we were able to make an instant connection. Since then, Nick was able to guide us through purchasing our first home in Burlingame, and fast forward, selling that house to purchase our next home for our growing family. Nick's strengths are his ability to connect with you on a personal level, being a family man himself. He often puts himself in your shoes as a home buyer and speaks to what makes sense for himself as a non-agent. He's shared many atimes things he's learned along the way as not only an agent but also a current home buyer with a growing family. Also, he knows the area very well. We've bounced around many different pockets of the Peninsula areas and Nick was able to deliver insights to help us guide our decision on where to land. He uses a data driven approach, coupled with a realistic buyer/seller eye in this market. And as many others have mentioned, he's super responsive. There have been countless times I've been on the phone with Nick at 10pm to talk through our strategy, our options, next steps, and even throughout the offer/bidding process (as a seller and buyer). Nick does not drop the ball when it comes to making sure you're in good hands. In this highly competitive market, there are agents by the dozens, trying to make a name for themselves. Nick is simply an honest, fair, good guy who truly does put your interests in front. I can say Nick is not only our realtor, but also a good friend now who is always dependable. Can't recommend him highly enough!!

                        - Jeff and Nayoung
                      • Our family moved from out of town and Nick was our savior. He quickly understood our needs and style of house we were looking for and proactively set up showings to match our busy schedule. In addition, he was an invaluable asset to have on your side during the negotiation and closing process. Closed quickly, which was a tremendous relief to the entire family. He is on time, very responsive and goes out of his way to accommodate your needs. We continue to be close to Nick and will definitely use him going forward when the need arises.

                        - Zafar and Reema
                      • We worked with Nick for about 6 months and found him to be extremely knowledgeable, responsive and straight forward. We was very patient, taking time to show us a number of houses and each time he noted what we liked and disliked so he could fine tune his search for us. We ultimately found the perfect house for us.

                        - Ron and Rhonda
                      • Nick Delis was an unknown entity to me and wife prior to moving in the Bay area last summer. He became family is perhaps the most concise way one can frame the relationship which developed over the next few months. Nick's key strength is his keen sense of value judgment within the context of a property purchase rather than as an advocate for or against a potential prospect. Also, despite the intense competition in the area, he never seems to push a client towards a decision by inducing an element of fear into the equation, which given the market dynamics one would be very susceptible to. All of this makes him stand apart from most other relators we have had dealings with in the past. And these key traits, among others, ought to make him the realtor of choice for those seeking sound investment advise rather than mere recommendation in acquiring property in the Bay area.

                        - Ashish and Gloria
                      • All the other reviews are spot-on. Consider yourself extremely fortunate if you have Nick on your house hunting team. Without him, I would not have the pleasure of sitting in my dream house typing this review. Nick will be the mentor, advocate, liason, and facilitator you require for a successful home purchase in this crazy housing market. Do yourself a favor and call Nick. Of the hundred or so agents I met at open houses during my experience, I only met two other agents I could even somewhat compare to Nicks professionalism and expertise.

                        - Ross C.
                      • Being native to the area, he was able to provide a good overview across all the different cities and neighborhoods along the peninsula. He has also been in the real estate business for a long time and has seen the different cycles of the business in the Bay Area.We were impressed by Nick's expertise, passion, professionalism, responsiveness and client focus. He was very thoughtful in helping us in our decision process, very resourceful in understanding the disclosure packages (Nick took the time to review all disclosures together with us) and he gave us sound advice when preparing an offer. He presented all our offers in person to the buyers agent.Nick was also extremely flexible when working with us, as both my husband and I had very busy work travel schedules, but we managed to communicate and prepare offers while being in multiple timezones!Even now, after closing our house, Nick remains a trusted partner.We highly recommend Nick to everyone looking to find a home on the peninsula!

                      • Nick is amazing. We are absolutely thrilled with our home and loved working him as our agent. He has a broad range of great relationships with other agents, he helped us navigate and understand complex disclosures, and he has a strong list of recommendations for any work that you might want to do (he's just completing his own home reno). Nick also went above and beyond helping us with our search in my final weeks of pregnancy and after our son was born- flagging, summarizing, and prioritizing homes based on our tastes and criteria. And he's funny. Great person to spend your time with and genuinely kind. I would recommend him to family, friends, and colleagues. Side note- he was recommended to us twice; once by a work colleague and again from our agent in the city (from another firm) when we decided to start looking in the peninsula.

                      • It is not often these days that someone goes above and beyond our expectations, but Nick Delis is one of those people. Selling a home can be a nightmare, but Nick's knowledge, patience and professionalism made it effortless. He kept us informed each step of the way and his efforts payed off. The house sold above asking price in a very short time. We would not hesitate to work with Nick again, and give him our highest recommendation.

                      • I really appreciated Nick's enthusiasm and positive attitude. I am new to the area, relocated from the Midwest, and Nick provided a thorough overview of the various neighborhoods on the peninsula and is well connected. Nick listened and understood what I was looking for and found the perfect home before it went on the market Nick also ensured the closing process went smoothly and interacted with other parties so I could focus on my work. I'd highly recommend Nick!!

                      • Nick is a terrific Realtor! My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home in San Mateo or Santa Clara county. In 2011, he helped us become first-time homeowners - a beautiful, cozy 1080 sq. ft. rancher in Pacifica. We really appreciated Nick's easy-going yet confident style during the process. He was a voice of calm during the emotional roller coaster of looking for and buying a house. My wife and I both work full-time and, at the time, our older son was just a two-year old, so we also really appreciated how accommodating Nick was with our schedules. I still vividly remember, signing our contract well after business hours in his office with our son in tow. Then in 2017, he guided us through the selling of that house ( for nearly 2X what we paid for it! ) and the purchase of a larger house in Pacifica. I assumed the process would be much easier the second time around but, in fact, it was way more complicated! Nick kept us on track through the whole process, reassuring us along the way but also helping us anticipate any potential issues. He is always super responsive and makes you feel like you're his only client when I know he's working with many families at the same time. He's also a loyal advocate. There are a lot of vendors you have to work with (inspectors, landscapers, staging companies, seller's/buyer's agents) and whenever something was amiss, Nick would waste no time in getting at the source of the problem and making things right. It was such a stress-reliever to know he had our backs. And another important quality in Nick is that he always lets you make the decision that's right for you. He's super knowledgeable and provides a lot of information to help you make an informed decision but never pushes his opinion on you. Even though we don't intend to move for a long while, Nick is still always willing to help. Just this past week, we contacted him to get his take on an estimate for some electrical work that had been mentioned in the home's disclosure form which we were finally getting around to. Nick responded in less than 24 hrs. with a lot of great advice and was even willing to schedule an appointment for us to meet with one of his go-to home inspectors. How awesome is that?!If you're like me, you read Yelp reviews with a skeptical eye, especially the ones that are over-the-top positive. But I'm honestly a real person who really worked with Nick and without hesitation recommend him to you. Thanks Nick!

                      • Nick provided amazing client service during our hunting experience, and he continues to help us, even weeks after we closed escrow! He is quick to respond to emails, even after hours and on weekends, and diligently answers all our questions. He provides great insights about the real estate market and each house we visited. He points out pros and cons of each house and neighborhood. He is honest and straightforward. When you find THE house, Nick is a great negotiator and gets the deal done! I greatly appreciate how Nick stayed calm through the whole process, even when issues came up. Finally, Nick is well connected to contractors for home repairs. We would use Nick again if we went house hunting again. I highly recommend him to everyone looking to buy a house in northern CA.

                      • Nick is a personable, professional and knowledgeable realtor with his finger on the pulse for the Bay Area.Nothing but good things to say and happy to have listed with him and with Compass. He is connected with a great network of professionals ranging from staging, cleaning, inspecting, moving, title companies, financing etc. A marketing guru to match the right buyers and sellers without pressure.

                        - Larry and Lisa
                      • I think it's a telling sign that when you visit open houses, almost all the realtors know Nick Delis and have nothing but good things to say about him. We worked with Nick for our house search, and he guided us through the complexities and subtleties of Bay Area housing. Nick is someone who will accompany your search as if he is the one buying, as he puts himself in your shoes and considers things that you should consider and sometimes forget. For example, he would point out things like gas station proximity and what that would mean for soil safety - things we did not know about. Nick never pushes you to make a decision. In fact, as a buyer, Nick trusts you to make your own decisions at your own pace, and at a price that you are comfortable with. Nick is extremely responsive, often responding within minutes. This made it much easier to deal with the fast paced market here. Lastly, Nick followed up long after our purchase, to offer his help and advice as we settled in. We were very lucky to have worked with Nick and highly recommend him to any future homebuyers!

                      • Nick helped my wife and I find and purchase our first home this past September. My wife and I met Nick through the Landed Program; a downpayment support program for purchasing a home. We appreciated his knowledge of the area, easy going demeanor, and communication. Without Nick guiding us through the process of finding and purchasing a home, its highly unlikely that my wife and I would be homeowners today.

                        - Temo B.
                      • Nick helped me buy my first house and helped me all along to get just the right house I wanted. He was trustworthy and helpful. We looked for the ideal home for more than 6 months and finally landed on the perfect house for me. He has also stayed in touch since I moved in and has helped me whenever I hit a roadblock being a new home owner.

                      • Nick is an expert when it comes to home-buying on the Peninsula. He understood our needs and wants and showed us houses that fit within those parameters. We felt that he really listened to us and the time and effort he spent working with us paid off very quickly! We had an offer accepted within just a few weeks of working with Nick. Once the offer was accepted, he helped through the closing process and even after we closed, he took the time to answer all of our "first-time home buyer" questions and helped us with referrals for all sorts of household needs. We would work with Nick again in a heartbeat and are so grateful we were able to work with him.

                        - Leah and Robert
                      • Working with Nick has been a pleasure, and we can't thank him enough for helping us find our dream home. My husband and I had been searching for a home for close to a year, from San Francisco to all the way down south in Sunnyvale. We had been outbid several times, and finally narrowed down our search to the Peninsula area. We knew then that we had to change agents and find someone who's familiar with the area, and that's when we connected with Nick.From the very beginning Nick was very easy to communicate with, and took the time to understand our requirements and budget. He's very knowledgeable about the neighborhood (Peninsula) and market trends, and could always answer our questions or provide invaluable insights. He's also well connected with other agents in the area, which is a plus. When it came to making an offer, Nick was always honest and open about what a competitive bid would be. However he never pressured us into something we weren't comfortable with, and always made sure we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision.When we finally won the bid for our home and moved in, Nick was kind enough to check in with us periodically to make sure everything was going well and that we weren't having any issues with the house. Needless to say if you're in the market for a house in the Peninsula, definitely get in touch with Nick!

                      • My wife and I had been searching for a home on and off for a few years using a handful of different agents. We were put in touch with Nick and he clearly stood out from the other agents we had worked with as knowledgeable, trustworthy, and caring.He helped us narrow down our search, taught us a lot about the home buying process as first time home buyers and helped us through buying a wonderful townhouse, which was only our second home we put a bid on.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nick to anyone else and we're planning on getting back in touch with him if we're ever back in the market in the future.

                        - Rudy and Zoey
                      • The level of stress when buying a house in the Bay Area goes without saying, I had prepared myself and my family for a long arduous process. However, having Nick as our realtor made this entire experience relaxed, efficient and ( I can't believe I am saying this) fun! Nick is extremely knowledgable, he genuinely tried to get to know our families and our needs, he opened our eyes to things we had no idea we needed to consider when buying a home and he stayed focused, patient and light-hearted along the way. He continued to check on us even after we moved into our new place. I can't thank Nick enough and just to echo all the other reviews here - We did consider ourselves lucky to have Nick on your side!

                        - Joey and Juliana
                      • Nick is very straightforward and competent. He calls it as it is, but might not be exactly what you want to hear.In addition. He is very used to working with corporate, tech and non folks. He explains next steps and is excellent in following up. He also works with and manages a stager that develops a specific design that promotes interest to a variety of buyers. He is so personable that it seems like almost anyone could have the pleasure to work with him.

                      • As first-time homebuyers, the prospect of navigating the home-buying process was daunting, and trying to do so in the peninsula housing market even more so. Thankfully, Nick helped guide us through the entire process. It was clear that he had a lot of knowledge of and experience with the local market, and that he was personally invested in getting us into a place that we would be happy with and that would be a good value. A father himself, he was also great with our 9-year old son, who was not at all thrilled to be dragged to open houses every weekend. We contacted Nick at odd hours, in the evenings, on the weekends, and he was always very responsive and made time for all our questions. When we expressed interest in properties he thought were not a good value, he told us so. He always provided us with information and gave us his realistic assessment and then allowed us to make the decision about whether to move forward or not. Even when the turnaround time for submitting offers was really tight, he got them done quickly. He got our third offer accepted in an extremely competitive market.It is so important to work with a real-estate agent you can trust because you rely on them for their knowledge of the market, their ability to put together a compelling offer, and so many other things. We are thankful to have had such a knowledgeable guide who put our interests and needs first and helped find us a great place to call home.

                      • We found our home with Nick's help. It was only our first weekend looking for a house when we met Nick at his open house. The home was beautiful and crowded with people everywhere. We talked to Nick and told him we were interested but that we also just started looking. He offered to show us the house again during a weeknight, so we can take a better look. The second viewing helped us tremendously. We knew then we definitely wanted to place a bid on the house. Throughout the process, Nick was professional, personable, responsive, patient and knowledgeable. He gave us sound advice, and worked tirelessly to make sure things happened. He is well connected and hooked us up with the perfect lender. Nick really cares about his customers. He is genuine and the best agent anyone could ever have!

                      • We were very lucky to have met Nick. Nick helped us find a home in the tough peninsula housing market. We looked for 5 months. Half way through we wanted to give up and settle for any home but Nick was insistent on not giving up on what we truly wanted and kept us in check. Thank goodness we listened to him because now we have found a home we are really happy with. We have no regrets!!! My husband and I talk about how we are so glad we are where we are now. Even after we moved in we had some issues with the carpeting. We called Nick and he even reached out to the seller's agent and for her involved to get the problem resolved until we were satisfied. We truly are so thankful! We still keep in touch now. We reach out to him with problems and he still helps us find a solution and it's been over a year since we have moved in! We wanted a really who would find us a home as if they were looking for their own and that's what Nick did!

                        - Nina P.
                      • Prior to working with Nick we had a different agent that we struggled with for months. Once we changed agents to Nick, we were able to buy a house with just 2 offers (we made 10 with the previous agent). Nick took his time to learn what we were looking for and help us find some good houses even in this tight market. Where Nick really shone though was his connections and knowing how to bid. He helped us write competitive offers and then also knew many selling agents and was therefore able to help us get the information we needed to make strong offers. He even helped us negotiate a lower price after out bid. Basically Nick is the best!

                        - Ted and Alexa
                      • Nick has been a tremendous help for our home searching journey. He is very knowledgeable about the local market (esp the peninsular), is very responsive and is very well-connected. Nick is also very open and honest, and has provided a lot of great help at the critical final steps - making our offer, nailing down the condo and closing the transaction. We are grateful for his service and would def recommend him to friends who are interested in buying a property on the peninsula.

                      • I had the extreme good fortune to work with Nick Delis for my recent purchase of a new home in San Jose. From the very first phone call to the end of the process, Nick was available, professional, present, encouraging, and supportive. I knew I had the right agent when, in a moment of my own anxiety and panic, Nick told me, "If there's any stressing out to be done in this process, that's my job, not yours." I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. Nick also made invaluable suggestions for vendors once I had closed on the property, and he continues to stay in touch to see how things are going as I move in and get settled. I most enthusiastically recommend Nick to anyone entering this housing market. You won't find a better guide, mentor, or support to accompany you through the process. He's the best!
