Keri Nicholas – Alain Pinel Realtors

Keri was the agent on the other side of our purchase transaction 7 years ago when we purchased our house in Menlo Park. I remember overhearing her on the phone with my agent (and being really tough on my poor agent) and frankly I thought «wow. that agent is a shark» I joked with my wife that if we ever sold the house we would use Keri.
Fast forward 7 years later, when we were renting out our house (we had moved) and we received some off market offers for the house. We decided on a quick email to Keri and within 10 minutes I received a reply that we’d be nuts to sell at that low price. Keri gave us her estimate of what the house would sell for on the market and when we did sell the house a few months later, it sold quickly and for just a hair less than her estimate.
I am convinced that Keri knows the Menlo, Atherton area REALLY WELL. She is highly efficient and no nonsense when it comes to prepping a house for sale. The house looked better than when we had been living in it.
She was upfront with everything from start to finish. I think she is especially good at negotiating the prices and details. She knows what to look for and how to get things in the best interest for her client.
In summary, a quick call and meeting to Keri, earned us at least $ 100K more on our home (even after commissions and all the inspections/​fees, etc)
I know Keri is super busy (she is listing tons of homes on her website for sale), but you never feel like she has any other clients ahead of you.
I will say that I’m not a fan of her termite guy recommendation who seemed to overcall everything (probably to drum up treatment business), but that is minor and certainly not Keri’s fault!

Keri is THE reason we were able to smoothly sell our home and buy again in Menlo Park. From start to finish, she exemplified everything we could possibly want on our side: honest, hard-​working, dedicated, super-​sharp, easy to work with, efficient, resourceful… I could go on an on.
We interviewed several agents with Keri being the last one and ended up as our top choice, mostly because of her in-​depth knowledge of Menlo Park, her track record, and her brutally honest yet friendly and professional approach. We hit it off with her from the start and she worked every possible angle to put us in the best situation for both our sale and our buy.
Timing could not have worked out any better with closing dates (of the sell and buy) being a week apart with us being able to rent back our home for 1 month while we worked to get all the necessary work done on our new home. Through it all, Keri deftly worked her magic to guide us through every step of the way (offers, counter offers, inspections, recommending contractors, scheduling them for bids and work, and everything else in between).
The whole concept of a home sale and subsequent purchase with the risk and uncertainty all the way through is always overwhelming and stressful. With Keri and her team, especially Tracey coordinating, you can rest assured that you’ve got the best team on your side to take care of you and your family. I wholeheartedly recommend Keri to anyone.
Thanks again Keri. You are the best. The best!

I have bought and sold homes over the years and we have never worked with an agent as professional as Keri. She is so far above other agents out there that really, anyone trying to buy or sell a home in Keri’s geographical area would be best served to give Keri a call. She will give 110%!! She has contractors who can assist in all aspects necessary to get the home ready to sell. She has so many contacts and she gets the job done.
Our situation was that we wanted to sell our home in West Menlo Park but only had a short window of time since if it didn’t sell we’d have to rent it out. Keri helped us with all of the necessary details and the house sold right away for full asking price. We actually enjoyed ourselves throughout the process. Keri and her assistant were always available to us day or night. They took care of everything. We cannot stress more to those of your out there that you should give Keri a call and, we know that once you meet with Keri, you will be really glad that you called her. She is the best!
