What clients say
The expertise we really needed
Dave assigned one of his most experience realtors, Melissa Meier, to be our primary agent. Melissa was fantastic to work… with and extremely thorough. She gave us the attention we required to feel fully supported in our search and the expertise we really needed to make intelligent decisions. We were very specific about what we were looking for and not willing to pay over market value, so it took about a month, but her patience, support, and attention to detail made the process really enjoyable. In the end, we found the perfect home! Read more “The expertise we really needed”
On the same page
Dave sat down with my husband and me before we went out and looked at anything and sort of went… through the steps of looking for a house and what to expect. Dave was good. He went through everything from deciding which area to search in, to the closing and what to expect through each of those different phases. They were really great communicators. Before we put in any offers or went back in forth with offers Dave would go and call us or text us and go over exactly what we were comfortable with and what he was planning on saying. We were all on the same page every step of the way. They were so accommodating we were actually living out of town trying to look for a home so we could only come up on the weekends. I mean I don’t know what their schedule is but it seemed like they dropped everything in their schedule just to accommodate our crazy timeline. Read more “On the same page”
They responded within a few minutes
Well, we got great results. Dave sat down with us, and he kind of went over where he realistically thought… we could get our place sold for and told us we would be working not just with him, but with his team. His team was great about getting back to us any time we had a question. I mean, they responded within a few minutes. They were always available, and we wound up selling our place for actually a little bit above we thought we’d get —so Dave did a good job for us. We went through the whole process of staging. They actually showed up and they gave us a lot of really great suggestions about what they thought we needed to do to make our place look more sellable. You know, that was the one thing the buyer said to us was he thought our place looked really neat and clean. Read more “They responded within a few minutes”
Better price than I was expecting
It was outstanding. I had my place on the market the year prior with another agent and didn’t have much… success. Dave came in and kind of went through everything and really just went to work. I didn’t have it on the market that long and I actually got a little better price than I was expecting. Everything was pretty seamless they made it pretty easy on me. Selling a house can be kind of stressful and when you’re trying to buy another one and they were great can’t say enough about them. I’m not much for surveys or anything like that’s kind of the only reason I’m doing it now because they did such a good job. They were just professional, organized. They made things as low stress as they possibly could. The other thing that I appreciated was Dave’s candor and honesty, however you want to say it. He was just kind of like, “Look, this is the market, this is what I think it’s worth.” And I think in those situations it may not be what a buyer or seller wants to hear but it’s what they need to hear.

Almost stress-free
I got excellent results from start to finish. The whole team kept me informed, addressed my concerns, and really took… the burden off of me. My house sold very quickly, got the price I needed. It was almost stress-free. After the closing, there was a check that was due to me from the people who bought my home for some furniture that they purchased off of me. It was a personal check that was put in the mail. The Nimick Team actually made multiple phone calls to the post office, which happened to delay the delivery by some mistake. Dave’s team kept on it, kept me informed of what they were doing to find the check and, eventually, hand-delivered it to my building where I live. Read more “Almost stress-free”
Our first major home
Dave helped my wife and me purchase our first major home. I would refer Dave to other home buyers. I… think he’s professional and really strong in a negotiation. His team is also friendly and helpful.” Read more “Our first major home”
Fantastic
I wasn’t sure when I wanted to sell what I thought it would be worth. He laid out a very… detailed analysis of the houses around me, how quickly they were selling, where he’d feel comfortable you know based on the market. And he walked me through why he was doing what he was doing as he was doing it. I would highly recommend working with them partially because they teach you how to sell versus just telling you how to sell so it was very valuable for me. Dave was fantastic; I think that Sheila really, of all the members of the team that helped me, went above and beyond. This was my first time selling ever. She never made me feel like I was a burden, or was asking stupid questions. I mean, she really sealed the deal for me on recommending them to other people. She was fantastic. Read more “Fantastic”
Pleasure to work with
The whole Nimick Team is a pleasure to work with! Thank you for selling my condo! Dave shared his insights… of the market with me each week. This helped me make educated decisions on the price of my property. The updates also helped me compare my property with others in my neighborhood that are currently on the market or have recently sold. Dave’s team member, Sheila, is also great! Read more “Pleasure to work with”
I felt comfortable
I got great results. I listed my place and within two weeks I had a full price offer. The property… which I was selling was actually a rental property, occupied by tenants. So they just did a really good job kind of working with them, as far as the showing, doing the inspection, scheduling, and working with them to where they felt comfortable and where I felt comfortable as well. Read more “I felt comfortable”
We’re really happy
Long story short, the results have been fantastic every step of the way. We’re really happy. We have a place… that we’re excited about and cannot wait to really make it our home. My boyfriend and I kind of fell into The Nimick Team. We were looking at houses very randomly, very early on in the process and I found a place and I guess The Nimick Team was actually the selling agent on the place so that’s kind of how we fell into them. Everybody on The Nimick Team is just top of the line so we consider ourselves immensely lucky. Melissa constantly amazed us with her knowledge and insight that she had when we were looking at places and beyond that, she is just immensely patient with use. I feel like we looked at tons of places with her. She was never too busy to show us places or talk about places and that was really something that we enjoyed. And it was a really great experience working with her. Sheila who is also on The Nimick Team was fantastic as well. She was just so on top of everything and incredibly quick to reply. She always made me feel very comfortable that everything was under control. At the end of the day, we realized by the end that Dave is top of the line and his team, The Nimick Team, is top of the line. They have all kinds of people around to help keep that reputation. I can’t say enough nice things that everyone was just incredible to work with and I can’t wait to refer them out to friends or family who are looking for a place in Chicago.

We really appreciated that
They were really professional. They were really responsive anytime we emailed them or called them. We had a crappy closing… situation where the keys got lost in transit. Someone had to come back down to the Chicago office from the suburbs to give us the keys. Anyway, it took like over an hour for them to get here. So we were sitting in the lobby, totally did not expect or need anyone to stay with us for the duration of that hour. Sheila stayed in the lobby with us, was super friendly, waited 100% there until the keys were in our hands, even though she was absolutely not required to do that. We really appreciated that. Read more “We really appreciated that”
No surprises
They were pretty detailed, pretty thorough. Every meeting I had with Dave lasted quite a while to make sure, and… he kept coming over just to check on me, so there were no surprises. Their communication level is excellent from phone calls, in person meetings and text, and email. They ask what form of communication you want and show one way or another they were going to make sure I got the feedback I needed. I would recommend that team without question. They’re really good and really thorough. They took care of me. I have no complaints. Read more “No surprises”
Outside the box
The results were outstanding. We were able to sell our home before we even went on the market. Dave and… his team had outside the box ideas. For example, on how to stage the home and get ready for the walkthrough, and certain touchups that would be needed. Additionally, he was also able to get the word spread before we did go on the market, [using] contacts that he had. So we were able, actually, to get a lot done for a cheap amount of money and with a nice result. Read more “Outside the box”
Negotiated late into the night on our behalf
They explained current market trends what would happen each step of the way. They responded really quickly if I had… a question and we just felt really well prepared for everything. They were very professional I’d say in the evaluations of the neighborhoods and properties that we were reviewing. They explained the pros and cons of offers in an easily understood manner and often negotiated late into the night on our behalf because we had some timelines that we were up against. As they got communication from the other agent, they responded to us very quickly to let us know what was going on. I would say it was very professional and I would describe it as excellent service. We were very satisfied. I definitely recommend Dave and the team to any of my friends or family. We really enjoyed working with everyone, from buying to selling. Read more “Negotiated late into the night on our behalf”
A resource
Dave was really helpful. The whole team was very helpful. So it was nice to have them as a resource… there for all of our questions and all of the bumps and everything that could possibly go along the way. Read more “A resource”
Tons of insight to share
As first-time home buyers, we quickly realized that we needed a realtor who could compensate for our total lack of… familiarity with the home-buying process. A friend who works in real estate in Michigan referred us to Chicago-based Dave Nimick. Dave came over to our apartment with two team members and we immediately clicked. He clearly knew the Chicago market and had tons of insight to share that we had never even considered. Read more “Tons of insight to share”
Held our hand through the finish line
The search process was just the beginning though. Once we were under contract, we started the long and at times… stressful closing process. One of the best things about Dave’s team is Sheila Mason, who took over as our main point of contact after our offer was accepted and she basically held our hand through the finish line. Sheila focuses on the operations side of the business and is very knowledgeable about the closing process. I really don’t know what we would have done without Sheila organizing and simplifying the process for us. She is super friendly, responsive, and thorough from beginning to end. Thank you for all of your help Dave, Melissa, and Sheila! Read more “Held our hand through the finish line”
Kept us on track
It was our first time going through the entire process. They were really helpful, kept us on track, just explained… everything thoroughly so we were never unsure about things. One of the times that Melissa took us around to look at homes it was freezing cold. One of the lockboxes was frozen so she couldn’t get it open for us to look at this one condo. She literally stayed out there for like 10 minutes with no gloves on trying to unthaw the box. She just wanted to everything she could for us. Read more “Kept us on track”
Incredibly responsive
Dave Nimick and his team of associates are highly knowledgable, incredibly responsive, and do a terrific job of explaining each… step of both the buying and selling process. Dave made us feel comfortable during our complicated transaction, as we bought and sold simultaneously. He was informative, without ever talking down to us, and laid out all our options without ever pressuring us to take a certain direction. We were highly pleased by all the professionals he recommended — from the painter to the mortgage broker. As an example of his dedication, he remained in constant contact during his vacation in California to keep us updated about the (successful!) offer we made on our new home! We highly recommend Dave and the Nimick Team. Read more “Incredibly responsive”
Smooth process
I’ve actually worked with The Nimick Team a few times on a couple of different properties over the last couple… of years. It’s always been a really good experience —very easy, very smooth. They kind of anticipate my questions. They have very quick response time if I do have a question or concern. It’s kind of a swift process on their end. They have everything kind of pulled together and makes it easy for a buyer or seller. I wasn’t able to make the day and time of the closing. But I had an extra set of keys, so Sheila from Dave Nimick’s team came over and grabbed the keys so the closing would be a smooth process. Read more “Smooth process”
Well prepared
I think they did a good job of preparing me for the transaction. Dave did a really good job of… anticipating what my net proceeds would be based on on the sale of the house. I think he did a really good job there. I think I was well prepared. The overall level of service was excellent. I thought that the team aspect of having Dave doing a lot of the data analysis and being my contact on the selling end, and Megan as a buying realtor, she was outstanding. The attorney that they recommended to me was outstanding. The inspector Gregg was also great. So I liked Sheila doing a lot of the leg work on all ends. I just felt like that was a really nice unexpected aspect of working with them if you really do have a team working together. Read more “Well prepared”
Gets the results you want
I highly recommend David for any residential real estate needs. He is extremely knowledgeable and confident within the industry. His… professionalism was displayed in how he conducts his business. He portrays that he is working for you the client. He continued to ensure I was aware of any developments on the sale of my property. In addition to being accessible, he clearly enjoys what he is doing. He will be my first call for any future needs within the Chicagoland area. David is a true professional who gets the results you want! Read more “Gets the results you want”
Communication was a big key factor
The end result was that I sold my condo. I had tried to sell it a few times and never… had any success. This time I think the market was a little bit better, but I also think that just by getting it set to the right price point was very helpful and they were helpful in doing that. I think communication was a big key factor. They really did a good job of just keeping me informed. They were really helpful, going out of their way. Like at one point, I was leaving for my honeymoon, my renter was moving out, and I was going to have showings. And I wasn’t going to be there to make sure that [the renter’s] move out process went well. They actually went to the condo after he moved out to make sure that things were still presentable. So that was very helpful and again just the communication was great. Read more “Communication was a big key factor”
Excellent with communication
I thought they prepared us very well. At our initial sit down, they sort of mapped out the way that… the process works, in the abstract. So the steps we could expect to go through and the rough timeline, once we put offers in and they were accepted. I thought that they were excellent with communication. Meghan was in constant touch with us. She was the agent that we primarily dealt with. Everything turned out right for us. They did a great job getting us into a position where, one, we were able to find the place that ultimately did work for us. Two, we were able to learn on our own, and with their help, that the places that weren’t right for us. I think we saved ourselves a lot of trouble and a lot of heartache because the team as a whole, including all of the people that they bring into the process like the inspector Gregg Dimpfl, were so excellent. We were able to get an idea of when a place was more trouble than it was worth, so that ultimately resulted in us getting the place we wanted at the right price.
