Oklahoma City realtors

When we meet with people across OKC who are ready to sell their home the first topic of conversation is typically: Pricing the house for sale…how much?

July 12, 2016 by Nikki Buckelew Leave a Comment

Educators, Advocates, then Real Estate Agents – In That Order

September 21, 2015 by Nikki Buckelew Leave a Comment

Someone recently told me they thought I had “overstepped my bounds” as a real estate agent because I asked a client if she had considered a retirement community that offered more services than the one she was presently considering. Naturally, my feathers were a bit ruffled because anyone who knows me or Chris knows that […]

We even had an appointment scheduled to discuss the home’s value, get an agreeable timeline for selling, determine the best way […]

Downsizing support
August 8, 2016

The hardest part of the move for me was the downsizing -- the easiest part was the move itself. When friends or family would ask if I needed help, my reply was that Nikki and Chris had it covered. No one, especially friends who had moved recently, could believe how non-stressed I was and how smooth the move went. My move manager was there the last two days to make sure all would go smoothly on moving day. Continue Reading
