What do Clients Say?

Nicole Truszkowski is simply a fantastic realtor. I cannot praise enough her diligent assistance with my recent challenging home sale and then a purchase of my dream home in the heart of the Monterey Peninsula. She made possible what other realtors and brokers called impossible tasks in today’s very difficult real estate market. I am confident that whether you are buying or selling your real estate, you will accomplish your goals, if Nicole is on your side. She has a very broad real estate experience and a clear understanding of the local real estate challenges. She works very hard and does never give up on her clients. She is extremely talented, knowledgeable, patient, even with the most demanding client, such as myself. She is very professional, yet warm and personable. I have dealt with over a dozen realtors in the recent past. Nicole is just superb and others do not come even close to match her business standards. She is able to share your vision and is available as a counselor every step of the way, almost 24/7. Buying or selling a real estate are among the most crucial financial decisions we are faced to make in a lifetime. I cannot overstate how fortunate I was to have her guide me through a sale and a purchase of my home on the Monterey Peninsula. I could not have done it without her. I give Nicole my highest recommendations. I wish that all my friends and family could benefit from her professional assistance, when dealing with any real estate transactions.

We can’t thank you enough for the amazing person you are and the stellar job you have done in helping us to get into our dream home. You were so patient with us as we asked so many questions. You were always the ultimate professional and we truly appreciate your excellent work ethic. We know that not only did you do your job; you also did ALLof the work of the other agent, who we will not name. Not to put a negative in such a wonderful time for us, just know we appreciate your extra work that pulled this off Not only do we appreciate your knowledge of the Monterey Peninsula, we also are the beneficiaries of your intimate understanding of how to get a deal done, in Pebble Beach. If we needed to have the front door painted hot pink, a spotted owl relocated, or the roof re-shingled, you would have been there doing it for us. Whatever the task, you not only got it done, but you did it with a smile! If you weren’t smiling it sure sounded like you were smiling over the phone. Please know that we couldn’t have done this without you! We will forever be grateful that we met Chris Flaherty and that he told us to give you a call. God was watching out for our family and that you were an answer to our prayers. Moving away from family and friends and the only home that my wife has ever known was very difficult, but the fact that you helped us to get into Pebble Beach, and into a home that we really, really love has made it so much more manageable. We look forward to keeping in touch. Please feel free to call or stop by anytime. If there is anything you need, don’t hesitate to ask find in a new city! You can count on us referring friends and family to you. We trusted you with the biggest decision of our lives, and you came through! Even though you have done this a thousand times and it probably gets old after a while, it was our first time and we’ll never forget the way you took charge and got the deal done! You are truly an amazing real estate professional.

Definitely a 5 star rating for Nicole Truszkowski. She really went the extra, extra, extra mile for us and helped us very much. Nicole is an amazing and professional Real Estate Agent. She went above and beyond to ensure we got the right home for us! Thank you for your professionalism and valuable knowledge. There are a lot of Realtors but only a select few know what they’re doing. The whole process was smooth and easy. We would recommend Nicole to anyone!

We told Nicole what we wanted. She listened, she found exactly the property we had asked for, and she negotiated it at the price we wanted to pay. She is currently the listing agent for the home I now occupy. Over the years, I have bought and sold over a dozen properties including homes and income property. I have had dealings with many realtors. Nicole’s sales promotion, her preparation with a stunning brochure and video aid, and her expert media exposure of my home has been the best that I have ever had. I rank Nicole at the top of the heap.

We met Nicole at an open house in Carmel and were immediately impressed with her presentation of the property. Her knowledge of real estate information in general and especially that of our area was also quite extensive. This, plus her grasp, and use of today’s necessary electronic technology to promote and sell real estate, established her as the agent we wanted deal with. Nicole has never disappointed us. She has used her expertise to sell us one difficult to find property at the right price. She is now actively promoting the sale of our present home with an intensive and innovative advertising campaign consisting of broker open houses, a series of brochures, multi-media advertising, electronic broadcasting, video advertising, and foreign exposure. Nicole is a knowledgeable, hard working, informed, “out there” agent. We couldn’t ask for more.

About Nicole

I am one of the fortunate few who had the opportunity to grow up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and the privilege to immigrate to California.  I proudly became an American citizen, married the love of my life, and finally settled in Carmel by the Sea, my most favorite place in the world. My parents instilled an appreciation for family, nature, community, and that you could achieve any goal with hard work & determination.  My father began his life in an orphanage; one day a caring elderly couple adopted my father, and provided him with a loving home.  My mother was born in Belgium and taken to Canada during World War two; she was also raised by an adoptive family.  Interesting how life brought my parents together and they raised a family of four daughters in a typical middle class Canadian community.  Both of my parents were hard working and focused on providing their children with a quality family life.  Their love & guidance shaped my belief structure to set goals, work hard, be fair, honest, give back to community, and live life to the fullest.   I am a graduate from the University of Alberta in Canada with a Bachelor of Physical Education majoring in Business Administration.  After graduation from university I had the opportunity to work for 10 years in the private club industry, managing golf & country clubs throughout North America.  While working in the club industry I had the opportunity to develop strong marketing, sales, business management, and communication skills.  My passion of providing exceptional service in an upscale environment for my club members naturally carried over as my desire to focus in the real estate industry began to unfold. The opportunity to help families find a new home or move on to a new destination is a special experience and privilege that I enjoy with my clients.  The journey to find my calling in life as a real estate broker has been enjoyable and I feel fortunate to love what I do.  Prior to joining Sotheby’s International Realty, I founded Professional Realty Inc. in 1997, a boutique residential Real Estate Company specializing in luxury estates in the Central Valley.  In my real estate career I have sold close to a thousand homes and over a billion dollars in real estate.  My success is fueled by my desire to provide an extraordinary service to my wonderful sphere of clients.  It gives me satisfaction to know that I am renowned for showcasing my client’s property with state of the art marketing, my personal photography, and my artistic interior designer touches.  The Monterey Peninsula is considered by many as one of the most beautiful places in the world to live.  This region enjoys a multitude of world class events, such as extravagant wine & food shows, automobile shows and international golf tournaments.  If you are considering purchasing a vacation home or relocating to this “paradise on earth” my extensive “LOCAL” knowledge of the area can help you find the perfect home matching your lifestyle desires.  During your home buying or selling process I guarantee to exceed your expectations! Professional Affiliations:  Awards & PressInternational Unique Homes Elite Agent 2006 thru 2009Master's Club Top Sales Award" every year (1997 thru 2010)Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist" recognized in the Wall Street Journal & Barron's in 2006.  CertificationsCertified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist “CLHMS”Certified International Property Specialist “CIPS”Transnational Referral Certified Agent “TRC”
