Real Estate Done Differently | Boutique Service, Big Results 

"Wow! How refreshing to work with a true professional! Selling raw land is not always an easy thing to do. Especially one that you are particularly attached to and in the middle of a pandemic! Nicole's marketing plan drew attention from potential buyers locally as well as those who were drawn to the area specifically to consider this piece of land on which to build their dreams. Communication was better than I have experienced with previous realtors. She was there every step of the way to ensure that everything concerning the transaction went smoothly. Regardless of whether you are buying or selling your home, land or ranch, I highly recommend Nicole Goostree!"

"Nicole is great! She was very patient, answered all of our many questions, and ultimately helped us quickly close on a very unique property. She knows all the towns in Calaveras, and also connected us to other resources we needed after closing. She was attentive, responded quickly, and really easy to work with. We feel like we lucked out with her and couldn't be happier!"

"Nicole was our agent for a home that we recently purchased in Arnold and we can't speak more highly of our experience with her. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process and was also very responsive and went above and beyond on several occasions. Would highly recommend her!"

  -Nathan L. , Client

"Nicole was the selling agent for a property that my husband and I recently purchased in Calaveras County. We found her to be incredibly responsive to our questions and amenable and fair with regard to our requests. Her communications with our buying agent were consistently prompt. Overall, Nicole enabled everything about the transaction to proceed as smoothly as possible from her end. Clearly, she's a professional through and through. Whether you're looking to buy or to sell, I would highly recommend Nicole."

  -Stacia V., Client

"Nicole was a buying agent for me in the Calaveras region. Nicole was fantastic to work with, on top of everything, will definitely be using her services again in the future."

  -R. B., Client

"We loved working with Nicole! She is personable and very professional, she knew exactly what we were looking for and stayed in touch. We would most definitely work with her again!"

"Wow. We searched through 100s of realtors, talked with many, and finally found Nicole to represent us as buyers. We had a MARVELOUS experience working with her. Here is what sets Nicole apart: 1) Nicole does not have "commission breath" like other realtors. She is genuinely interested in being ultra helpful and not pushy -- all while being EXTREMELY efficient, dependable, and friendly! 2) Nicole does not deal in drama like many realtors. She is no nonsense, sticking to the facts, but also recognizes that property can be an emotional thing. She helps weigh emotions, but does not twist them to create pressure or fabricated reality. 3) Nicole is an AGENT! She's a strong negotiator. She has many very valuable and reasonably priced local contacts available to help if you like (house inspectors, mortgage, insurance, title, etc). At each choice, we did some of our own research (which Nicole had no problem with), and usually we ended up going with her excellent contacts. Awesome!"

"What started out as a bittersweet 1031 Exchange frenzy ended miraculously with the purchase of our dream home, thanks to the Land and Home Company! Nicole Goostree and her partner Melissa Bowman exceeded our expectations and outshined the other agents that we partnered with in various regions of California, Washington and Oregon. From our first interaction, to our escrow closing celebration, Nicole and Melissa had our best interest at heart, and went out of their way to support us throughout the home search and purchasing process. With their calm and friendly demeanor, they listened, advised, guided, represented, and advocated upon our behalf. As importantly, their Calaveras County wisdom, open communication, accessibility, firm negotiation skills, professional demeanor, and winning attitude made the whole home buying experience a wonderful one, and for that we are grateful. They are simply the BEST!"

"Nicole is the best! I contacted several real estate agencies in the area, but none of them were responsive or seemed to want to help my husband and I find a house in Murphys. I finally found Nicole, and based on positive online reviews decided to reach out. She was extremely responsive, whether it was by phone, text, or email. If a house came on the market that we wanted to tour, Nicole would set up a showing for the next day. She understands the market demands in the area and always helped get us in to see the house and/or put in an offer asap. She even found a house that wasn't listed online yet and got us in to see it before most other folks even knew it was on the market. Eventually Nicole helped us buy a lot that we are going to build a house on, and she was very patient, responsive and informative through the very long closing process (delayed due to COVID). I cannot recommend Nicole enough. You'll love working with her!"

  -Heather L., Client

"Nicole came highly recommended from a friend who just purchased a property in the area. With this being our first purchase, it was great being able to meet with her to go over everything we needed to know beforehand so nothing in the home buying process was a surprise. Everything went smoothly, she helped us beat out other buyers for a highly sought after piece of land with a fixer upper on it and we cannot wait to start our renovations and eventually move in. I would recommend her to anyone!"

  -Ashley B., Client

"Nicole was great to work with! The market is crazy right now, but she was able to help us with strategy and local knowledge, and we were able to purchase the perfect home for our needs."

  -Niki, Client

"We were looking for an investment property which would also serve as our future home when we were ready to retire. We were only able to come to town very periodically to look at things so Nicole had to do a lot of the hunting without us and she hit the pavement for 6 months finding the perfect house to serve our needs. Her knowledge about the area was extensive and she kept us in the loop the entire way and we were really impressed with how she handled everything. We couldn't be happier with our purchase and we count the days until we can move in, Thank you!"

  -Thomas H., Client

"Nicole was great. In fact, after a falling out with my listing agent I contacted Nicole who had shown my property to a potential buyer. She readily agreed to approach the buyer again and if there was still interest to handle the whole transaction without re-listing, so it ended up saving my $10,000 in sales commissions."

  -Richard N., Client

"Nicole has been absolutely incredible. She is amazing and went about and beyond all of our expectations. I can go on and on about how much she did for us and how comfortable and easy she made our experience. She was honest and up front, very professional yet personable at the same time. Nicole had all the answers to our questions (very knowledgeable), she's super sweet, friendly, helpful (even helping with things she didn't have to ) . Her response time is incredible and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Nicole thank you for everything and you have no idea how much we appreciate everything you have done. If only there were more people like you in this world!"

  -Stephanie C., Client

"Nicole did an outstanding job selling our land. We were amazed at the level of photography and topography detail she put into the ads. Even though this was a low cost land sale we always felt she was giving us top priority. She had the property sold quickly and without any hiccups! Highly recommend!"

  -Greg F., Client

"Nicole was fantastic to work with! After initially contacting another local agent that blew us off, we reached out to Nicole and she answered right away. She helped us navigate what has become a hot real estate market in the Arnold area. We were able to tour properties and eventually close on our place in just over a month. She is service-oriented and went above and beyond doing our final walk through when we were not able to make it. Our loan agent found her to be great to work with as well, which helped us have as smooth transaction."

  -Chris K., Client

"I had the pleasure of working with the best realtor ever to purchase our dream vacation home in Arnold. From start to finish, she went above and beyond, working tirelessly to make our dream a reality. Her knowledge of the local market was unparalleled, and she guided us every step of the way. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, we found the perfect property that checked all our boxes. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and we couldn't be happier with our new getaway. If you're looking for a top-notch realtor who genuinely cares about your needs, look no further. Our experience with her was exceptional, and we're so grateful for her hard work and commitment. We highly recommend her to anyone in search of their dream home."
