Hi, I'm Nicole

I started Homes, Handpicked after struggling to find the right property myself. I know what it’s like to feel unsupported, overwhelmed, or left out of the process — especially when you’re a thoughtful buyer looking for more than just square footage.

This business was born from care. I offer something I wish I’d had: someone on your side, who listens deeply, searches broadly, and walks with you until you find the one.

What I Believe In:

• Home is about feeling safe and seen — not just location
• Buyers deserve honest guidance, not pressure or sales tactics
• You shouldn’t have to figure it all out alone

How It Works

Step 1: Discovery Call – friendly chat to understand your vision, budget, and needs.

Step 2: Retainer & Onboarding – we clarify your buying power and expectations.

Step 3: Search & Shortlist – I search everywhere and curate the best options.

Step 4: Viewings & Feedback – accompanied or virtual, with clear notes.

Step 5: Offer & Completion – guidance through negotiation, survey, and handover.

Step 6: See Your Shortlist – you receive a personalised shortlist with notes, pros and cons, and lifestyle insights to help compare and choose with confidence.

Our Services

We offer a warm, personal and buyer-first service — no pressure, no sales, just honest help to find the home that fits your life.

I’ll take care of organising a full day of viewings — so you can relax and enjoy the experience while I handle the logistics. My goal is to make your home search feel simple, smooth, and maybe even fun. I do the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters: finding your place.

If you can’t attend viewings in person, don’t worry — I’ll happily go on your behalf and record personalised videos of each property, walking you through the details as if you were there.
