Nicole Ryskamp, Realtor®

Nicole was incredibly professional and went way out of her way to get our house sold. She was very open, honest and incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate in our area. I would highly recommend Nicole if you are buying or selling a home.

Nicole Ryskamp is a professional individual that works for her clients. She goes out of her way to make the experience wonderful and painless. In the beginning she listens to what you want, helps narrow down choices all the way to the end. The end is not just the finding, it is the closing. As a real estate attorney she makes sure you know what you are signing and helps structure the offer to make sure it is your intent. Nicole went the 'extra mile' for us in helping get a professional to come out and evaluate an issue found on the inspection - a quality professional was available and she met them at the house to get an evaluation and have it delivered to us, as I was unavailable due to work and time constraints. Nicole stepped up and went over and above to help our family gain our new Florida Home. What a wonderful experience!

I first met Nicole at a private house showing and I knew right away that she had an excellent work ethic, a super positive attitude but most of all, an extreme knowledge in home sales. I think the added bonus is that she has a law background which is helpful in the reading of documents. I knew she would be amazing at selling my home and helping me find the perfect home to purchase. I have bought and sold many homes in the past and my experience with other agents has always been a pretty mediocre experience. Nicole has made this super stressful time a complete joy. She has truly gone above and beyond her normal duties as a real estate agent because she meticulously and diligently had to deal with the title company of a bank owned property. Nicole truly works for her client's best interest with a positive and professional attitude. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know. I know we will remain friends even after the sale.

Of all the realtors I have ever worked with, Nicole Ryskamp is the best by far. She focuses on the customer's needs and makes you feel like you are her top priority. Nicole is diligent, thorough, organized and pays great attention to detail. She follows through timely on every issue and every question asked. Nicole is patient and does not pressure you into making a decision but gives you all the facts you need to make an informed decision. Nicole guides you through the complicated paperwork and makes sure you understand everything. Every home buyer and seller needs a "Nicole Ryskamp" in their corner.

We have only great things to say about Nicole. My husband, John, and I started looking for a house in the Lakewood Ranch/Parrish area last July.  Nicole spent many days showing us new builds; as well as, resale homes.  Her knowledge of the area is outstanding. After we signed a contract to build with Medallion, Nicole continued to keep in touch. She took precious time to attend our structural and design meetings, her insight was so helpful. We have reached out to her so many times asking for recommendations for restaurants, inspectors, a nail salon, etc.  We don’t know what we would have done without her! On top of all that, Nicole is so sweet and thoughtful.  She is a joy to work with.

Sending a special “thank you” to Nicole. In a very tight real estate market she pointed us in the right direction and assisted at all the turns. Her communication skills are effective and pleasant. Enjoyed the entire experience of working with her. No need to say more. She’s a keeper! We will be in touch for a little guidance on “homesteading”.

Nicole did a outstanding job. Her attention to detail was great. Darlene and I would highly recommend her for anyone needing a real estate agent. Thank you Nicole. Five Stars

As my family settles into our new home, I am so grateful for the stellar service we received from Nicole Ryskamp. Nicole's real estate expertise, law background, and knowledge of the local area combined with her perseverance and kind spirit create a realtor that is simply unmatched. We had a very tight time schedule coupled with a finite budget and preferred area for our new home, but even with those barriers, Nicole found us the perfect house in our desired location at a fantastic price. Knowing our situation, Nicole worked behind the scenes and was able to find a house before it went on the market that checked all our real estate "boxes" and we were able to put an offer on it quickly. Nicole's negotiations were excellent and we feel we got an amazing price for our house. Even though we were frequently out of town through the negotiations and house-buying proceedings, Nicole had no issue communicating with us and walking us through the entire process. Once the price was settled, Nicole kept working for us diligently. She provided the names of providers for the inspections, surveys, and closing. This simple gesture saved our busy family time, and more importantly we knew that the service providers came highly recommended. She even was able to negotiate a closing date for us around a pre-planned vacation. This attention to detail helped make the house buying process smooth and streamlined for us! Nicole was available to us from our decision to buy a home in the tight market of Lakewood Ranch through the closing and beyond. We are so thankful that we utilized Nicole's services for our real estate needs, and I would wholeheartedly endorse her for anyone's real estate needs.

So many “thanks” to you! From helping us through the new house process to selections and closing. Great advice and thank you for water referral and exterminator. We certainly appreciate all the support from you and your family. Many thanks to you!  

Nicole is the epitome of a professional realtor. Her attention to detail is why she has a huge understanding of the housing market, especially in the area I was searching. No matter how many times we needed to see a house, she responded happily and accommodated our needs. Nicole has such an engaging personality coming out in many ways for example great attitude, very personable, honest and with integrity. Thank you Nicole for being a problem-solving, creative, and positive realtor who was always there for us!

Nicole guided me through the sale of my home and purchase of a new home. She is a professional thru and thru with excellent knowledge of real estate and real estate contracts. She goes above and beyond to make the process less stressful with her warm and friendly demeanor and with all the little details that make you feel like your sale is the most important. I truly felt like I was in good hands with Nicole guiding me each step of the way!

Facebook Example I emphatically give Nicole Ryskamp an Excellent rating. I do so for several reasons. Nicole had the market insight, real estate experience, professionalism, attention to detail, and warm human touch to price, prepare, market, stage, and ultimately sell my mother's home in an expert manner. We're a family of five children (some local, some long distance) who together assisted our 89-year-old mother to sell her beloved home and relocate to a local independent living facility. Nicole was able to focus our collective efforts on what needed to be done to attain the optimal sales price, sales time, and sales terms for my mother's home, and then to make certain that my mother (who is single and in declining health) was gently guided through this transaction with minimal personal disruption. The home sale proceeded completely according to Nicole's plan and my entire family is thrilled with the result. We wholeheartedly recommend Nicole! Indeed, Nicole has now helped three members of my family with their home sales or purchases. All three experiences were just as wonderful as my mother's home sale. - Testimonial for Nicole Ryskamp at Michael Saunders & Company - Lakewood Ranch By Jane Robbins

Nicole came highly recommended to us by two of our neighbors and WOW...she deserved their accolades and much more. We have bought and sold several homes in the past and have never had an experience as satisfying as this time around with Nicole. She is a no nonsense, talented professional who does her research and really knows the real estate game. She gets right down to business and, more importantly, gets great results. From start to end, we knew that Nicole was looking out for our best interests 100% of the time. The next time we need an agent, we're going right to Nicole and we're happy to recommend her wholeheartedly.

First let me say what a pleasure it was having Nicole Ryskamp on our side during this process.  She really checks off all the boxes when it comes to what you want and expect from an agent.  Nicole was very good at communicating all the milestones and needs so we could keep moving forward and she gave wonderful advice with the different offers we received.  We really felt like she was on our side from the beginning.  We can't say enough good things about Nicole.  Thank you for your hard work and we look forward to working with you in the future!

Nicole Ryskamp represented me in what turned out to be a complicated home sale as well as a  slightly unorthodox home purchase.  She handled every issue no matter how big or small with professionalism, efficiency and creativity.  If I need to sell again, I will most definitely be calling her!  I will also not hesitate to refer family and friends to her in the future.

Where do I even begin! My company relocated their HQ down to Sarasota, & my CEO highly suggested we use Nicole for our relocation from NJ to FL. We are SO thankful we did!!! We flew down to find a home in one short weekend. We had so many homes we wanted to see, & b/c of Nicole we saw them ALL! We met her at the office, hopped in her car & she drove us to every single home. She prepared snacks & drinks for us to keep our energy up while we searched for the perfect home! She guided us through each home, & informed us of SO many things about the area...the schools...the community & the amazing town we chose to live in. After we found our dream home, Nicole was right there educating us on the process (first time buyers!) from putting in the offer, creating the contract, thoroughly explaining the next steps, & most importantly making sure we always understood what was going on with the process. She is a wealth of knowledge!!! Throughout the whole process, Nicole was on top of everything that we needed to get done! It was SO refreshing to work with her! Nicole is a true professional, super positive, super knowledgeable & SO much more!!! We always felt as if we were her only Client, & she made us feel like any question was a top priority! Nicole went above & beyond to ensure we were fully aware of each step in the home buying experience. She is not only a true professional, she is simply an amazing person!!! We are eternally grateful to have found her & to share this experience with Nicole in our corner! Nicole just cares...& she cares with all her heart & it shows! She truly is a blessing. We consider her not only our Agent, but also our friend. Everyone needs a "Nicole" for their home buying experience, & we are SO lucky we had thee best experience all thanks to Nicole!

We worked with Nicole on two separate transactions and had an equally superb experience with both. Nicole is knowledgeable about the market, timely with her responses, professional in all of her interactions (with clients and other realtors), a just a very nice person to do business with. I've yet to see her without a smile on her face! Nicole first helped us purchase a new home. After looking at several homes, we took a short break and then she found "just the right one" for us- it had everything we said we were looking for. She made everything so easy for us from start to finish; it was a clean and straight-forward transaction. The sale of our existing was challenging due to new construction, but that did not deter Nicole. She was every bit as determined throughout the process and, frankly, kept us sane. She always had good ideas for what we could do to make our home more appealing to buyers, including helping us stage the home once we moved out of it. She was as committed and attentive on the day of the sale as she was on the day we first listed the home with her. I would highly recommend working with Nicole. She offers a full array of services from staging, photography, listing expertise, legal expertise and closing expertise. You will rest easy knowing that you're in good hands because Nicole will get the job done for you!

Nicole was a great help to my family in selling my father's house. She was always professional, knowledgeable, and caring, with a calm and personable demeanor that was very appreciated during the stressful period of attempting to sell a house. She took a personal interest in my family and our needs and acted with our best interests at heart. We would certainly recommend her to anyone in need of a Real Estate agent in the Sarasota area.

Nicole Ryskamp is a true professional! Organized, flexible and enthusiastic, Nicole displayed exceptional dedication to ensure that selling my home was an enjoyable experience. With her legal background and strong business sense, Nicole was able to guide me effortlessly though the many documents and negotiations selling a home entails. In addition, Nicole was very knowledgable in her market analysis and was able to have my home under contract in a matter of days-- for the FULL asking price! I have only the highest praise for Nicole Ryskamp and would recommend her to anyone looking to make a real estate transaction.
