What people are saying about working with Nicolas

"Nos amis nous ont recommandé de contacter Nicolas pour l'acquisition de notre 1ère maison à Ottawa. Quel excellent conseil! Dès notre 1ère rencontre, Nicolas a été très à l'écoute de nos besoins et de nos craintes. Il a su nous rassurer et nous assister dans cet achat si important qu'est une maison. Bien plus qu'un simple agent immobilier bilingue, il pense à tout et nous a guidés pas à pas à chaque étape du processus de sélection, visites et achat avec un professionalisme hors pair et une humanité exceptionnelle. Nous avons une chance incroyable de pouvoir dorénavant compter Nick dans notre entourage. Un énorme merci pour tout Nick, le Stéphane Plaza canadien." "Our friends recommended that we contact Nicolas for our first home purchase in Ottawa. What great advice! From our first time meeting Nicolas, he has listened to our needs and our worries. He was able to reassure us and assist us in this important purchase. Much more than a bilingual real estate agent, he thought of everything and guided us through each step of the home-buying process with professionalism and exceptional humanity. We are incredibly lucky to be able to welcome Nick to our entourage. A big thanks for everything Nick, the Canadian Stephane Plaza. "

Virginie & Sylvain

"Excellent communicator, and listens attentively to his clients to find out what they need. Works hard and recently helped us buy in Ottawa. Highly recommended."

George & Renata

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Nick to find us a rental. I initially reached out to Nick months ago when we started thinking about the move. Even though we were months away from even looking at houses, Nick was responsive, took the time to get to know us and our situation, and began sending properties for us to get a better idea of the market and what to expect. When I reached back out to Nick a few weeks ago to start looking for houses, we couldn't have been more pleased- Nick is so warm, friendly, and approachable. He made sure we were comfortable and informed at every step, and was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly professional and personable at every turn. Nick was never pushy, and it's clear that Nick treats his clients like family- we always felt like our needs and our comfort were his top priority. He responded to every question we had in record time, and was able to secure us the perfect rental! Nick is the kind of realtor you can only dream of- we're so happy we had the privilege to work with him, and we're so excited to work with him again in the future!"

Rebecca & Mitchell

"My friend and I were looking for a new home to rent in Ottawa and had searched for quite some time. Nicolas fell in our laps, so to speak, and offered to help us. He took the time to get to know us and determined what we liked. He offered some great insight and got us well prepared with all the required documents prior to applying. We enjoyed his realistic "NO B.S" approach and his warm and friendly personality. He was a great communicator and was always available if we had questions. He was able to negotiate an ideal price for our budget which we appreciated. We look forward to working with him again in the future. :)"

Michelle & Maddison

"We were so fortunate to have found Nicolas Blackburn when we planned to move to the Ottawa area. As our Realtor, he helped us find the right house in the right neighbourhood for the right price. He was patient as we traveled from the west end to the east end of the city to look at homes. In short, he was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Nicolas was that he was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than he was on closing a deal. We would recommend him to anyone."

Linda & Roman

"I have enjoyed working with Nicolas Blackburn. His experience with the real estate market coupled with a tenacious work ethic were key to closing the sale of my condo. I was introduced to Nicolas by a friend and neighbour. I strongly endorse Nicolas for those who are considering either the purchase or sale of real estate."

Dave G.

"Where do I start? Nick was recommended to us by a close friend and I cannot express how right they were. From day 1, Nick was there to guide us through buying a home for the first time. During the whole experience, it was a very transparent discussions with much of a “big brother” feel to it. No pressure, no sales tactics, just honesty and transparency. Being first time homebuyers, it’s a very overwhelming experience, so having someone like Nick who is there at any time to answer any questions (lord knows we asked a lot of questions). He’s extremely knowledgeable and guided us during the visits and pointed out to things that we should look out for. He wasn’t shy of telling us to pass on a house or point out the issues, he really just wants what’s best for his clients. I cannot recommend Nick enough. For anything real estate related, Nick is your man! Thanks again for everything, we didn’t think we could have gotten such a beautiful house. You made our dream a reality!"

Danielle & Mathieu

"As first-time homebuyers who just purchased their first home, we were incredibly fortunate to have had Nicolas in our corner. Nick is such an approachable and accessible realtor and is very knowledgeable about the housing market. His confident yet calm demeanour helped keep us hopeful and assured throughout the entire house hunting and purchasing process. While we were viewing homes he also pointed out several things to look out for that we wouldn't have known about. Nick's negotiation skills were also extremely crucial in the last few minutes leading up to our offer being accepted. We would most definitely recommend Nick to any of our friends and family looking to buy or sell!"

Rebecca & Theo

"Can't say enough about Nicolas, he is a caring and great agent who will go that extra mile for you. From the first time we met I felt comfortable with him. He kept in touch with us at least 3 times a week maybe more. Moving is such an emotional time and he was so understanding, we appreciated that so much. Thank you so much Nicolas for making our move possible, hope to have you visit, bye for now your friend forever."

Linda & Yves

"Nick was highly recommended to us by our neighbour and he did not disappoint! He did an amazing job helping us sell our first home. Nick went out of his way to work with our busy schedule, and was always very prepared. We loved how he guided us through the process and was always happy to answer our questions. We can’t say enough great things about him, and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to sell."

Breanna & Pierre

"House hunting can be quite stressful especially when moving provinces. However, thanks to a very special real estate agent, Nick Blackburn, this stress was reduced to a minimum. Nick is knowledgeable, hardworking, personable and very patient. Over the course of two weekends we visited 40 properties, one of which we made an offer on. Not only did we succeed in getting the property, we got it substantially under the asking price, thanks to Nick. In today's real estate market this was quite an achievement. I highly recommend Nick if you are seeking a great real estate agent. Thank you Nick from the both of us."

Fé & Austin

"A good man! Nicolas Blackburn is passionate and enthusiastic. I always felt that my questions and needs were his first priority, he always answered me immediately at any hours of the day. He also really cared that my spouse and I were making the correct choices and were happy with the result. I highly recommend Nick as a Real Estate Agent."

Maya & Tate

"Nick is a great Realtor and a gem of a person. He possesses great empathy which is hard to find these days. Not to mention his exceptional expertise in the craft of buying, selling and leasing real estate. We are thankful that we know him and can call him without any hesitation for our real estate needs. I have no reservation in recommending Nick to anyone I know. He is a clear choice for anyone looking to seriously buy/sell real estate."

Harjot & Ravneet

"As first time home buyers, my partner and I were really happy with Nicolas Blackburn's services. From the beginning, we could tell that he had our best interest at heart. While working with him, we felt as if we could give him all our trust with finding us a lovely home. And we were right! We were extremely satisfied with all of his guidance, initiative and help throughout the whole process. We highly recommend him as your Realtor, whether you are buying or selling for the first time, or even if you are an experienced buyer or seller looking for a Realtor upgrade! He is an awesome and honest guy! 11/10"
