    Sean and Ashley were amazing! We wanted a quick turn around and they made it possible to get our house ready and up on the market in 3 weeks! Ashley’s expertise in staging and decorating and Sean’s market expertise created a sale in 1 day. We are more than pleased!
  • bryan.shiflett

    Sean was both amazing and instrumental in the sale of our Tumble Creek home. As a member of the Tumble Creek community, Sean has first hand knowledge of the local market. By pricing the house correctly and staging it beautifully, Sean got us multiple offers including a full price offer faster than I could have imagined. His communication and professionalism was outstanding through the whole process. I would highly recommend Sean to anyone looking to sell. Sean and the team work hard and deliver results. Thanks Sean!!!

    Sean and his team did an outstanding job, selling my home. After the initial meeting, they got my property ready to be put on the market within about two weeks. Thanks to the very organizational skills of Ashley Steven’s, who lead the project of hiring workmen and a stager to present my home in beautiful condition and thanks to the effort, the Professionalism of the entire team, my home got an offer on the first day it was listed.

    Sean and his team did an awesome job for us. They worked very hard to help us get our home ready and staged for showing. They held several open house weekends and helped us negotiate our sale. Overall a great experience!

    We can't say enough wonderful things about Sean, Ashley and the entire Nielson team! We elected to work with Sean and his team this time because of our previous experience with selling a house in Newcastle (several years ago). That house was sold within days of being on the market after Sean worked his magic to upgrade and fully prepare it for showing. This time, Sean again helped us with the entire process of evaluating, prepping and marketing our home. Each step he guided us on was thorough, thoughtful and effective. He and Ashley went above and beyond our expectations in crafting a plan to fully refresh, market and quickly sell our home. Ashley not only created a new design for our kitchen, bathrooms and the entire house, she also managed and skillfully oversaw the entire project from the beginning till the end - very efficiently! The house looked amazing after all the preparations and was sold within days. At the same time, Sean helped us find and buy our dream house in Kirkland. Once again, his negotiating skills were supreme. We are very thankful for having an opportunity to work with and get to know more Sean and the entire team. We highly recommend Sean Nielson to anyone buying or selling a home! They are the best!!!!
  • marcia bienn

    Sean's services were truly extraordinary on every level. He completely helped us start to finish with the entire process of selling our home and purchasing the next one. We selected to work with Sean because of his expertise, knowledge of the market and ability to instill confidence that he understood the current real estate and economic trends. He was extremely empathetic regarding our particular situation as retired community members and went above and beyond expectations to make us comfortable every step of the way! Sean and Ashley's design expertise were partiularly impressive and helped to entice buyers as they enhanced the ambiance and character of the home. They personally attended every showing and open house. He also worked closely with the listing agent on the purchase of our next home and made the process run smoothly and effeciently! I would highly recommend Sean's services to anyone selling or purchasing a home! We were beyond thrilled with his unique and extraordinary skill as a real estate agent and his kindness, thoughtfullness and humanity towards people in general!!

    Sean and his team ROCKED the entire process! I learned of Sean and The Nielsen Group through his philanthropic work with a local youth and high school athletic program. I reached out to him and we met on a Thursday. We outlined our goals, intentions, and our ambitious timeline and Sean and his team delivered! Within one week, the team staged, prepped, and listed our home. (They did an incredible job!) We received multiple offers and reached mutual acceptance within 8 days of our very first meeting and closed seamlessly two weeks later with all of our goals, intentions, and timelines exceeded! Sean was knowledgeable, responsive, and committed to helping us navigate the process exactly as we’d envisioned it in our perfect scenario. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the experience with the Nielsen Group was!
  • stephaniessherman1

    Sean was amazing to work with while selling our townhouse. From our first meeting where we discussed what upgrades we could do to make our home more sellable, to the closing date where he was with us while we brought the last belongings out of our home. The amount of extra customer service was fantastic and so helpful. Also, Ashley was above and beyond amazing helping us with the upgrades (working with the contractors, etc.) and staging our home. Overall, the Nielsen group is something I have never even seen or even heard of in terms of service. AND our home sold in 2 days!
  • scvcc324

    Sean did an excellent job helping us sell our home. He brought in a buyer who hadn't considered our area. He pointed out the quality build of the home and beauty of the area along with helping those buyers feel comfortable that changes they'd like to make could be accommodated. He and his team were also very helpful getting the home ready to sell and offering marketing that went beyond our area. Overall I would recommend Sean and his team.
  • dietzclan

    Sean was great to work with, knowledgeable and very professional. He took care of everything in regards to staging and selling our condo. It went live on Thursday and we accepted an offer on Sunday. He made it very easy!
  • zuser20150817175107454

    Sean and his team were great to work with! Super responsive and helpful throughout the whole home buying process! Sean is extremely knowledgeable in the area and great to work with!
  • abroederdorf

    This was our second time working with Sean and his team, and as always, they were wonderful. It was a challenging market but they helped us navigate through the options to figure out what was best for us, and really helped on the negotiation. The team is very responsive and kept in good communication with our broker and the selling agent throughout the process. In addition to their expertise in all things real estate, Sean and his team are wonderful people who you want to spend time with. From playing with our toddler during showings to getting our toddler a welcome to the new house tool kit for "helping" with house projects, they really support the whole family through what can be a stressful process.
  • alimigliore1221

    Sean and Ashley were professional and knowledgeable at every turn. They got us the best price possible and it is thanks to them that we were so happy after the sale of our home. They took excellent care of us, were great and prompt with their communication and are the best in Newcastle.
  • stason1124

    Sean and Ashley were fantastic to work with. We were stressed about moving out of state, and had a very small window to get everything done. Sean and Ashley went out of their way to make sure things went as smoothly as possible. They offered to help us pack and move things, took things to the dump, and just listened offered some reassurance when I needed it. They are professional and proactive, and communicated openly and honestly with us. They have so much experience and knowledge and we could not have been in better hands.
  • bretwhite

    Through conversation, Sean knew that my wife and I were interested in selling our home during the winter, a time that is not a typical listing season. Sean was more than happy to take on the challenge and quickly formulated a plan. To gain the necessary traffic, Sean and Ashley went above and beyond to stage and market the house to a target group of buyers that ultimately brought in more than we were expecting. Ashleys eye for furnishings and finishes made our home stand out and highlighted the desired features in our home. Sean's understanding of the buyer and how to pull a buyer in from a competitive market by using a very creative marketing campaign, identified several buyers that quickly ended in a strong offer. I would recommend Sean and Ashely to anyone that is looking for a great and successful selling experience.

    We conducted extensive interviews with four agents before selecting Sean to sell our home in Newcastle. Sean far and away stood out among the four. He spent over two hours with us understanding our accelerated relocation timeline while providing different strategies on how to best market and sell our home. Throughout the pre-sale process, Sean and his team of Ashley and Mari were professional and supportive. Everything from the quick pre-listing home improvements to staging our home to the professional photos to the online marketing to the paper used in the listing brochures were of the highest quality. Within a two weeks of interviewing Sean, our home was pending above our asking price. Sean even helped us on the other side of our relocation by introducing us to a superb buyer’s agent. Within 96 hours of meeting our new agent, we were in escrow on our new home. Having relocated multiple times throughout our lives, our experience with Sean and his team without a doubt has been one of the best. We highly recommend the Sean Nielson Real Estate Team to handle your real estate needs.
  • pmcmahon12

    I recommend using Sean and Ashley as RE professionals who truly go the extra mile, and then some, to ensure your transaction gets done with thorough competence and to your full satisfaction. They’re there for you even after the transaction is closed.
  • rudyblues1

    We recently concluded our sale of our Newcastle home with Sean and his partner Ashley. Together Sean and Ashley are an outstanding team who have deep knowledge of the local area and understand what it takes to sell quickly at full market value. This team made solid interior design recommendations as well as provided help from their team of professionals to complete them. I recommend Sean's team for anyone buying or selling in this area of Washington as his deep market understanding and negotiation skills are excellent.
