We bought our first home with Nichola and she helped make the process very comfortable. We didn’t know much about the whole process and Nichola was great and explaining everything to us in advance and helping us through each step of the way.
I really appreciated that she spent a lot of time the beginning getting to know us and learning about what we were looking for in a home. I think that saved us a lot of time and helped us find a home that we’re very happy with.
Another thing we really liked about Nichola, was her ability to be flexible and accommodating our needs. We both work busy jobs with long hours and she was awesome at communication (by phone, email, texts, whatever worked for us the moment) and made it easy to get out to see homes on our crazy schedule.
She was also super perceptive of what we liked and didn’t like as we looked through homes and this really helped us come decision-making time when we relied on her insights to help us make the right choice.
And I have to say, I’m always a bit skeptical about salespeople and was worried about this with house shopping. But our experience with Nichola was completely free of pressure throughout the whole process.
Not to sound clichéd, but I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family.
- Jessie & Marc
We got Nichola’s name on a recommendation from a family member, saying that she was easy to work with and willing to do whatever is necessary to help with a home purchase.
That is exactly the experience we had. Nichola was superb in helping us get details and viewings on a house that we were quickly falling in love with.
In only a few weeks, we went from being interested in a home, to purchasing, and moving in. It all happened so fast but Nichola was amazing in giving us all of the information we needed in order to make the purchase as smooth as possible. This included Nichola meeting us at 9pm on a Friday so we could put in an offer on the house.
She didn’t have to do this, but she did. It may have been the difference in us getting the house as opposed to missing out on a bid.
Nichola went above and beyond. Anyone thinking about working with her will be happy to know that prompt responses and hard work is exactly what you’re going to get.
As well, Nichola gave us fantastic recommendations for other people to work with in the purchasing process. In the end, we had a strong team of people working together, and this was all thanks to Nichola.
The entire buying process was smooth and easy. We really appreciate everything, Nichola! Thanks!!
- Mike & Ariana
Nichola is a rock star of her industry. From her app to keep me up to date with my sale process to the marketing of my house, everything was awesome! She was a pleasure to do business with and made a process headache free. She took the time to explain the process of the sale and any question I had she answered no matter the time of day. She is driven to please her clients and is a step above anyone else I have had to deal with. Most importantly she was honest and straightforward. Everything she said she would do she did and she went the extra mile in every aspect of my sale. I wish more professionals in the industry would strive to give the customer experience as well as she did. I will be recommending Nichola to everyone and anyone looking for a fantastic home buying or selling experience.

After purchasing my first home with another REALTOR®, I was debating just managing the transaction for my second home purchase by myself. For the services I was offered, it seemed like I could almost do it myself. At that point, I wasn’t quite sure what value add realtors truly provided.
Enter Nichola.
After being referred to Nichola by a colleague, we went for coffee to chat about how she could help us out. No more than 3 minutes in, Nichola had me convinced of the immense value add that she would provide for us.
She absolutely did not disappoint. Every question I possibly had about the details of the process and transaction were answered: present market conditions, how the home would fit my needs, both present and future, any flaws and advantages of each home we saw, bidding strategies, probabilities of how long each home may remain on the market, etc.
Not only does Nichola have unparalleled expertise on all facets of her profession, she was reachable at essentially all hours. This is an immense advantage, considering the time sensitive nature of this business.
She takes a refreshingly unbiased approach to her evaluation of each home we saw. She knows that if the house being evaluated doesn’t precisely fit her clients needs, she will explain in detail why it is so. We saw one house which had certain details which I held on to, and she had me see the bigger picture, eventually taking that one off the short list.
While we ended up seeing nearly a double digit home count, not once did I feel obliged to make any kind of decision.
Nichola’s strategy during the negotiation phase was impeccable. She brokered our property acquisition for exactly the price I was seeking.
The approximate two month process was flawlessly stick-handled by Nichola. I did not have to worry about any of the details at all throughout the entire period.
Being in the professional services business myself, I absolutely love to see those who really do put customer service ahead of all else.
Nichola is the epitome of outstanding customer service.
I cannot say enough good things about Nichola.
Count yourself lucky if you have the privilege of working with such a talented professional for these important purchases.
- Charlotte & Daniel
Nichola was a REALTOR® rock star! We purchased a new build home, which is often represented as a type of purchase where you don’t require a REALTOR®; however, we are so happy that we had Nichola on our side! It was important for us that we had someone representing us, since the salesperson represents the builder. Nichola was able to give great advice and help us through negotiations. She was extremely helpful with all the questions that we had and was able to provide us with information for each step of our walkthroughs. One of her major strengths is her communication! She is prompt and thorough with every response! I will absolutely use her as our REALTOR® in the future and will recommend any friends and family who are looking for someone to help them find an amazing home!
- Andrea & Ciaran
Nichola helped us very much with our recent purchase. She represented us in purchasing from sellers who didn’t have an agent. She was helpful to the sellers but had our interest in the transaction first and foremost. We were buying from out of province and she offered suggestions and took control to make the whole process run smoothly.
She is easily approachable, well informed and we feel she took good care of us as her clients.
- Bruce & Lisa
Nichola is absolutely amazing to work with. She ensured that we were given all the information that would be useful to us. Her attention to detail and her knowledge of the current housing market really made us feel like she had our best interests at heart. Nichola demonstrates professionalism, honesty, and integrity that are above and beyond. We are grateful to have her all the way. Nichola is truly an agent that displays such passion for their work and dedication towards her clients, and we would certainly recommend her to anyone.
- Martin & Angel
Nichola is outstanding at her job. She truly takes her business seriously and gets the very best for her clients. Proficient in research and confident in negotiating, she is who you want on your side. We would definitely recommend Nichola to friends or family and will be using her expertise again in the future.
- Ian & Lindsey
Working with Nichola was a very fun and pleasant experience. Her knowledge of buying a house was great. I was totally grateful for all the effort she put in to getting me the house I wanted. I am very happy with everything and would definitely recommend her services to anyone.
- Connie
My wife and I would like to thank Nichola very much for working so professionally and effectively during the purchase of our new home. She was always available to answer our questions, concerns and meet with us on short notice. We will highly recommend Nichola to family and friends when they are looking to purchase real estate. We thank Nichola very much for the quality of service that she has provided.
- Easton & Sheron
This is the second home we bought through Nichola and are again completely satisfied. We feel that she gave us really great advice, helped manage our expectations in regards to price and time frame for selling our current home. She operates her business honestly and with integrity which is very important to us and was sensitive when we were feeling stressed. I would definitely recommend Nichola to anyone buying or selling a home.
- Brittany & Brandon
After living in our home for 28 years, Nichola treated us with kid gloves to help us find and make a smooth transition to our new home. Her professionalism and knowledge were surpassed by what we originally expected. We will definitely pass her name on to others as we were VERY happy with all aspects of our experience with her. Thank you SO much Nichola, we love our new home!!!
- Kelly & Terry
We are grateful to have found Nichola, who helped us buy our forever home and sell our current one. She is meticulous, educated in the industry and highly organized which leads to a lot of success. What I appreciated the most was her honesty and integrity. I refer her to anyone who who listen. Thank you Nichola (and Team!) for making the transition happen. You are very good at what you do!
- Jessie & Andy
Great service, amazing to understand our needs due to a very short notice, we only had 3 days to find something. We found a house in less than 3 days. She has contact for contractor and others which is very nice for new comers to Edmonton. Thank you Nichola!
- Ben & Marie
I first inquired about selling my home through Nichola back in 2016. We listed and did everything we could to get the place sold. But with the downed economy there were no real offers coming in, and after about 6 months of being on the market we decided to take a little break. Nichola came through the home during this time off, and pointed out some simple things we could do to help get some more attention when we would re-list. When March 2017 came around we were ready to re-list and Nichola gave me her word that we would get this place sold. She did everything, from constantly updating online ads, open houses and consistently communicating on how the market was doing and what our competition was. With all of her efforts our place attracted more attention then ever, sometimes 3 showings a day! She took the time to meet with me to review strategy and ensure we were on the right track. Not before long we had an offer, and a good one too! With a bit of negotiation the day had finally come, we sold and I couldn’t be happier! When we are ready to buy again, it will definitely be through Nichola! Thank you Nichola!
- Todd
We are so happy having Nichola as our REALTOR®. She is very professional, and offered the best of the best services : having a professional photographer take our home photos, having cards set up throughout our home for potential buyers to read describing certain features of the house, and more. Nichola kept us updated with feedback from showings, and she treated us always with respect and kindness. I would totally recommend Nichola to anyone who is looking for the best REALTOR® in Edmonton.
- Taylor & Roberta
We just moved into our amazing new home and we honestly could not have done it without Nichola’s help. We were first time home buyers and Nichola really made the whole process so much easier. She is friendly and accommodating and you can tell she takes her work seriously and very much values her clients. Nichola worked at our pace, she was never unreachable and she answered every question in detail. She is extremely knowledgeable about homes and the home buying process and we benefited greatly from this. We found a home we loved very early on in our search and didn’t feel ready to commit to that house right away as we hadn’t seen many others. Nichola then worked very hard to get us in to see all the other homes we were interested in so that we could make a decision. Nichola has great connections and referred us to our mortgage broker (who was also great). This was invaluable as we feel we got the best service at every step of the way. I can’t say enough about Nichola who genuinely cares for her clients and works hard to ensure amazing customer service all the way through this process! Nichola is competent, knowledgeable and fun! She works hard for her clients and is there for them with anything from minor questions to big concerns. I wouldn’t ever purchase another home without her! Thank you Nichola!!
- Owen & Amanda
Nichola was recommended to us by our broker, from our initial meeting, just having a coffee and a chat, we had a great feeling about the whole daunting experience.
Nichola had a little more work on her hands as we are new to Canada, but her unique process and her dedication to make us feel comfortable with our decision, are a testament to her.
Whatever the question, Nichola was so informed in her answer that we were confident we were getting the right advice.
She was fantastic to guide us through and educate us as we went; showing us all kinds of properties so we could rule out/ decide on what was important and what was not.
We saw a house we really liked a few days before we were going out of town, Nichola and her team worked hard to accommodate our schedule and it paid off, they made us feel so confident and supported in our choice. We signed our letter of offer from a campfire in Banff.
- Lousie & Kevin
Nichola is unique because she adapts her approach to suit the client, and she really knows that every situation is different. She answered all my questions, she was attentive and available. I was out of town, and Nichola was able to assist with things locally, she was also informative and communicative. She explained things thoroughly and didn’t make assumptions. I would definitely recommend Nichola to friends and family!
- Tammy
I was pleased with Nichola’s services in regards to listing my condo. I liked her enthusiasm, common sense, and work ethic to make the deal. I will recommend her to anyone who requires a great REALTOR®. Thank you so much, Nichola!
- Maurice
We purchased our first home with Nichola’s help, and she made it a great experience for us. Nichola was very easy to work with. We felt that she always made time for us, despite her busy schedule. Nichola also made the entire home purchase process easier to understand. Whenever we had questions, she had the answers, or if she didn’t know she knew where to find the answers. The thing that we appreciated the most about Nichola is that she was adaptable to how we wanted to do things. We wanted to take our time searching for homes and not rush into anything. Nichola was completely supportive of this and never did we feel pressured to settle for a home that we were unsure about. With Nichola’s help, we found just what we were looking for. Nichola does her job well as a REALTOR® and we would recommend her to anyone buying a home.
- Jordan & Diana
You know it was very hard for me to write a review about Nichola, only because it’s so hard to put so much greatness all in one little review! Was I satisfied with the service she provided? I wouldn’t even call it a service, it was more like taking my most trusted best friend to help me find a home! Not only was she incredibly helpful, she was just so honest and had OUR best interest at heart! It wasn’t about making the sale, it was about finding a home we would be happy about after the deal was closed and for years to come!
I was a first time home buyer and let me tell you, going to see all those houses and doing all that paper work, you might think was a nightmare! But luckily I had Nichola right by my side every step of the way! She was always answering my calls anytime of the day to make sure I was comfortable and no question was left unanswered!
Nichola Elise was AMAZING I feel bad for anyone who doesn’t have the pleasure of having her as your REALTOR®! She really is one of a kind!
- Veronica & Corey
A mutual friend introduced us to Nichola when we decided to sell our house and buy another one. We immediately connected with her and enjoyed working with her in the process. She was very encouraging and helpful at every step. Thank you for all the time you took answering our questions and finding just the right home for us and the buyers for our place!
- George & Emilie
I would like to start by saying that Nichola is fabulous!
Let’s be honest, Johnathan and I were a hard sell. I cared about the home, he cared about the land. He would make Nichola show up places one hour away from the city and complain it’s too far. I would nitpick balance and symmetry in the most beautiful homes, and John would be outside in the bushes somewhere lost. We were NEVER on time and cancelled last minute, and requested last minute showings, we know what a headache that is.
The amazing part… Is Nichola kept a positive, fun, happy attitude the entire time.
It was always Nichola’s pleasure to help, and she did her very best to accommodate both our tastes, wants, and needs. She was professional, educated, and prompt. I didn’t see her as a REALTOR® at all, more like a trusted friend that had our backs the whole way through.
The true testament to Nichola’s experience is when she knew the home we were getting before we had decided. I remember Nichola told me it’s like a wedding dress… that we will just “know”… Well she sure did! And Nichola was a huge part in the pieces of having all my dreams come true. She fought for us during negotiations and I felt that she truly cared for us. I truly can’t express our gratitude.
Then to top it off, Nichola got us a beautiful and delicious goody basket, and another gift that was way over above and beyond. I can’t express my appreciation enough.
Nichola is an amazing REALTOR® and person. I would and will recommend her to everyone. For anyone looking for a home, condo, upsizing or downsizing, do yourself and call Nichola!
- Maria & Johnny
Nichola is awesome! We have purchased/sold one house previously so kind of knew what to expect, or so we thought. Nichola blew us away with her thoroughness and frequent communications. It started when we first met up – she reviewed our property and gave us a list of easy cost-conscious fixes that we could do if we wanted our property to show well and sell more easily. When we signed the listing agreement she went through everything with a fine-tooth comb, explaining every detail. Once listed she provided us with feedback from every showing that attended our property, which gave us the information we needed to decide if we wanted to make any price adjustments. Once we received an offer she really helped us navigate the negotiation process, providing us with a clear understanding of our options at each step in the process, and had a solution-oriented approach that we really appreciated.
In the past we felt like we “had” to sell through a REALTOR® – it was just part of the process for good or for bad. With Nichola it felt like a pleasure to have her on our team. We received exceptional service – everything Nichola did was above and beyond our expectations and was certainly not like any other REALTOR® experience we have had in the past. With Nichola it was clear from the start what we could expect from her – which was nothing short of awesome – and her work ethic exceeded our expectations. We really appreciated her expertise and felt she added tremendous value during this process, from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend Nichola to anyone at any time.
- Rebecca & Jake
We had to complete the buying process in quick time line and you were there step by step. We loved Nichola’s enthusiasm, drive and willingness to help us in our search. Nichola was very quick and that is what we loved.
- Richard & Linda
Whoever thought buying our first home would be this easy! Nichola made us feel very comfortable and laughing right from the beginning. She is so friendly and very easy to get along with. She put in extra time, value, and detail to make us feel appreciated. All topics of the home buying process were covered with minimal questions needing to be asked. Having my boyfriend working out of town was no problem for Nichola’s schedule. She was still able to make time for viewings either scheduled or last minute (even on holidays) to work with our busy lives. We recommend Nichola to anyone who is planning on buying a house and wanting a smooth, easy, and fun process. We want to thank you Nichola for all the amazing referrals you gave us including the home inspector, our lawyer, and our insurance broker. We are in LOVE with our home! Thank you Nichola!!!
- Darcie & Lenny
When my fiancé and I were stuck wondering if we should sell our house ourselves or use a REALTOR®, Nichola was the first person we called. Just from reading testimonials on her website, reviewing her videos and surfing around her website, we knew she wouldn’t be pushy and would be honest to us. We contacted Nichola via email, and told her our exact dilemma. Not once did she preach that we should use a REALTOR®, she actually offered to meet us and explain self sale vs using a REALTOR®. That’s exactly when the amazing bond and experience began between us and Nichola. She never once doubted that we couldn’t sell without the help of a REALTOR®, and she never once made the impression that we NEEDED her. She brought very good points for both sides of the spectrum for us, and then left us to sleep on it. Leaving the initial meeting, we knew. Nichola is not your average person in the world making a living. She is all about her clients. So down to earth, and shows you her caring side more than anything. Nichola is the type of person that genuinely strives to make other happy, comfortable and satisfied. The hours she spent with us, teaching us about selling, setting the house up for the listing, and holding our hands through the whole process was absolutely amazing. The market was starting to dip – that’s what we felt – and Nichola assured us we would be more than okay. Was she ever correct!!! Within one week we had offers coming in, and, within two weeks we had back to back offers, in which Nichola helped us make the decision and the house was sold!!! Having a one year old, a fast approaching possession date into our new build, AND Christmas all within a few weeks of the listing, we could not have asked for a better person to keep us level headed and organized throughout. She has so much passion for her career, and her knowledge is outstanding. We will never use another REALTOR®, ever. I highly recommend Nichola to anyone I hear talking about possibly buying or selling, even if it’s a random person that I somehow overheard talking. If you want a stress free experience buying or selling a home, Nichola is the one!!!!! Feels like she is always right there, always answering questions and calming us down when needed. Bottom line, she’s honest, knowledgable, punctual, caring, and has a personalty that will instantly light up the room!
- Claire & Jeff
Nichola is very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we asked for and more. She answered all our questions with her friendly attitude. Just her bubbly personality puts you at ease. We would recommend Nichola to anyone.
- Robert & Anita
I would highly recommend using Nichola as a REALTOR®. She was very punctual, honest and helpful during the entire process. I really appreciated Nichola’s low pressure sales approach and the extra effort she spent helping me as a first time home buyer. Overall, it was a great experience!
- Nathan
It was our recent good fortune that we were able to work with Nichola. She made the would-be stressful task of first time home buying so simple that we barely had to lift a finger. She is organized, punctual, knowledgeable and patient. She gave us honest advice and incredible guidance. Nichola provided a service that was beyond our expectation and we are eternally grateful.
- Julie & Nathan
Our experience with Nichola Elise was wonderful. Nichola makes you feel like you are so special, and feel so comfortable working with her. Just like she is family. She had every question we threw her way answered with positive answers. Nichola sold our home in 1 day and three offers overpriced. YES you’ve read that correct, 1 DAY! My family has used Nichola before with great success and that is why we went with her again. I would recommend Nichola only if you want your home to sell fast and with a positive outcome as well. She is awesome and I will be using her again in the near future to help me buy another home.
- Alan & Val
Nichola is an amazing REALTOR®! The first amazing thing about her is her wonderful personality that allows you to love her instantly. In addition to her shining persona, her expertise, knowledge, professionalism, and business contacts within the real estate market really helped us to navigate our way in buying our very first home. She was always available to quickly answer all of my questions and settle any concerns. She also provided me with quality referrals to her equally fantastic colleagues for finding a lawyer and property inspector. She made the entire home buying process quick, easy, and fun! Nichola truly is the best experience you can have with a REALTOR®, from coffee to keys! I look forward to working with Nichola again in the future when I need a REALTOR® I can trust.
- Blazenka
STOP, if you are looking for a knowledgeable, efficient, resourceful and patient professional REALTOR®, don’t go any further.
I would not be living in the most amazing condo in the city overlooking a park and golf course if it wasn’t for Nichola! I had decided I wanted to buy a condo in a particular building and she went above and beyond to help me find the perfect unit in that building! A wonderful experience!!! I knew that Nichola was looking out for my best interest at all times and she made the entire process relaxing and easy with her helpful advice and guidance. I will be using her for all of my real estate deals moving forward!
Her motto of “Coffee to Keys” is perfect!! Thank you Nichola, you ROCK!!
- Sheila
Nichola is the BEST!!! If her charming and wonderful personality don’t convince you, then her amazing energy and extensive knowledge will!!! Nichola worked hard to help us sell our house and buy a new one in record time! She was honest and thoughtful with all of her information, which allowed us to fully trust her and find the perfect new home for us! She was always readily available for showings and to answer our (many) questions. She was also very flexible in making time for us, with all of our busy schedules. If you want a REALTOR® that will treat you like you are the most important client in the world, then look no further… Nichola is the only one you need.
- Tracy
Simply the best! Nichola is extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with and genuinely cares.
- Jenny
I just want to thank you (Nichola) for all your hard work helping me find a house. I know a week is definitely a very short amount of time to see houses, pick one, and get the paperwork done. I truly appreciate your honesty when showing me a house and I greatly appreciate all the information you gave me the first time we met in person. As rushed as this experience was, I have to say it was an enjoyable experience due to your patience and competent work both in person and via electronic communication (be it email or text). To sum up, thanks for helping me find a home I’ll be happy to live in for the next couple years.
- Alberto
Nichola was referred to us by a family member who had previously purchased a house through her. Through the entire process she was fantastic, and even supported us as we changed our focus and explored building a home instead of purchasing an existing home. Along the way, she provided us with information on potential builders and even accompanied us during some of our meetings with builders. We were living in Red Deer at the time and weren’t always able to give her a ton of notice on when we were coming to Edmonton, but she was always happy to accommodate our schedule. In the end, we decided to purchase an existing home and we couldn’t be happier. She helped to negotiate the sale price down to a price we were comfortable paying, and helped to ensure that a few deficiencies found during the inspection were taken care of. We would never use any other REALTOR® and would recommend her to anyone!
- Erin & Ryan
I was moving out of town for work with a limited time frame to find a house to purchase with an immediate possession date. Nichola was nothing short of exceptional when it came to finding a house meeting my needs, and in the desired time. Nichola would accommodate my busy work schedule and drive out to Sylvan Lake and show me houses whenever she could. When it came to finding the house right for me she didn’t just try and get me into the first house I looked at but instead insisted at looking at more until I found one that I knew was right. This being my first time buying a house it was awesome having someone that was more like a friend helping me find the right place than just another REALTOR®. Thanks Nichola!
- Jesse & Keisha
My Husband and I are so happy we chose Nichola Ryhanen to help us find our home. Being a first time home buyer, everything seems a bit overwhelming but Nichola walked us through the entire process and held our hands through the most stressful aspects of buying home. Everything from selecting a mortgage broker to finding a home inspector was assisted by Rock Pointe Realty staff with someone always available to talk to us and offer guidance. Nichola is honest and hardworking and her passion for the industry is apparent as she was enthusiastic and dedicated from the moment we met, to find not just a house but a home for our family. The cash back insentive is exciting but the service we received from Rock Point Realty is by far more valuable.
- Santos Family
My name is Chris, and I just wanted to write you a quick note regarding one of your employees. I would like to commend one of your realtors, Nichola Ryhanen, for her hard work and enthusiasm in my recent dealing with her. We came across your real estate company and met Nichola in December 2011 when l was looking to help my friend at the time sell her home. Nichola was prompt to show up and gave us a very detailed explanation of our home with respect to worth and the real estate process. She explained your fees and services, which are very reasonable by the way, and made us feel comfortable and confident. Where she went above and beyond was in her efforts to sell our home. The open house offerings, the little cue cards emphasizing upgrades in our home, her time overall. We didn’t feel like we were just another number with just another real estate agent. Our home sold in two days when the average home sold in 30 in our area and we ended up getting more than our asking price as a result of what turned into a bidding war for our home. Nichola felt it was important even a few months later to check in with us and ask how the building of our new home was coming along which is an added personal touch you don’t get from most realtors. I still keep in contact with Nichola and have no doubt in my mind that she will go very far in her career with her positive attitude and hard work ethic and I felt I should share this with you. Your company is held in high regard with me and if we decide to sell again, Rock Point Realty will be one of the first phone calls I make. Thanks for your time.
- Chris & Tara
On the recommendation of a co-worker we (my wife and I) contacted Nichola to assist us in purchasing our first home. As first time home buyers we were diving in headfirst, with no real knowledge of what the home buying process would be like or what we needed to know. Thankfully Nichola was there to keep us informed, and on track. She made sure that we knew the “ins and outs” of the buying process before we started looking for a home. After our initial meeting over coffee I felt confident moving forward and was absolutely thrilled to have Nichola working with us. In our relatively short time looking at homes she kept us focused on our requirements in a home, and was full of information on negatives and positives of each home that we viewed and how it would fit our needs. I was also impressed with her prompt response through email and phone to any of our questions, which was a huge positive as I always had a million questions to ask. She kept us updated on new homes that came on the market, and as we moved through the process she would even recommend that we not view some homes on our list because she investigated the property and determined that it was not the right fit for our needs. In the end we were able to find a home that worked for us and met our requirements thanks to the hard work that Nichola put in. I felt that I was always getting top level service and I would (and have) recommended her to anyone who I know is looking at buying or selling a home in Edmonton, and I know when we are ready that we will be calling her again.
- Kyle & Laine
When my partner and I decided to buy a home last year we weren’t sure where to begin. We were looking to buy out first home and wanted the experience to be positive and on our own terms. From the moment we interviewed Nichola to be our agent there was an immediate connection. From our first conversation I could tell Nichola was hard working, committed, and a forward thinking individual. She was very helpful in explaining the process of looking for a home. Also, she gave us very useful information. When we started the actual search of looking for our home Nichola helped us every step of the way. She would always find a way to get us into an open house very quickly. She never left us hanging and always returned calls, emails or texts promptly. When we looked at homes Nichola always came prepared with information about the home that we might need to know. Also if we had any questions about the houses or neighbourhoods she would find the answers. I would highly recommend Nichola Ryhanen to any person seeking to find a new home. She made the experience positive and even exciting! We ended up finding the perfect home and we absolutely love it! I cannot see ever wanting to leave our beautiful home but if we did I would undoubtedly ask Nichola to be our agent.
- N. Rebbitt & E. Schneider
I cannot begin to tell you what a positive experience it has been working with Nichola. We started looking at houses 2 years ago, trying to get a feel for what was out there, she went to every house I wanted to see. She got a feel for what I loved, what I wanted and what I really had to have. Unfortunately our lives changed, and we stopped looking for awhile and even then Nichola was hard at work sending potential homes our way; her website is far easier to use to do your own searches then MLS. She also helped me keep reality in check, I may want everything but I don’t have a million dollars to buy a home, so we refined our wants and she knew what we really needed. Then she found it for us. Nichola help me search the piles of homes that would suit our families growing dynamic needs. She was patient, fun, kind, punctual, reliable, and most of all she really listened. In the end we couldn’t just keep looking anymore and Nichola found us not just one, but three great homes. Unfortunately I dragged my feet and we lost the first one to another offer, the second one was great, especially for the price and we ended up buying it. Nichola was AMAZING! She was not short of extraordinary; seriously she found us a home that fit all of our needs, all of our demands, and almost all of our wants IN OUR Price range. She went far above and beyond many times over. Oh and on top of being an awesome REALTOR®, she has been so amazing at making this experience a good one for us. She suggested a lawyer and he was great and his fees were the best we could find, at our request she suggested an inspector and he was friendly knowledgeable and he answered all of our questions, and we did not leave the site without our home inspection printed, and in hand. Nichola was a fountain of information, I had no idea how much it would cost to do things and she is so seasoned she knew the answers to all of my questions. When she didn’t know within minutes she would send me a text and I would have an answer. She reminded me of things I needed to keep in mind like closing costs, moving costs, switching over the mail, all the little details. Nichola is a phenomenal lady and a kick ass REALTOR®. Thank you so much for everything Nichola. You worked so hard and now we have a beautiful home of our own. It is perfect! My kids and my husband thought she was awesome too!

Right from the very beginning, Nichola went out of her way to make this entire process as simple and stress free as she possible could. She explained things as thoroughly as she could, without the fancy words and scary legal terms. She was friendly, approachable and completely accommodating to my sometimes demanding schedule. Even though I was searching for houses on my own, she set up a portal for me through her company and added houses that she thought might interest me. When I found a house I wanted to look at, she was a phone call, email or text message away. It goes without saying that I will work with Nichola again if I ever purchase another house. She is fantastic! As time consuming as this entire process was, Nichola made sure I had fun along the way. She is highly professional and she takes great care to deliver phenomenal service. She travels all over the city to make this process as easy as she possibly can – she even came to my place of employment to pick up a deposit and deliver it straight to the seller’s agent. How awesome is that? I recommend her to everyone I know who may be thinking about purchasing a house in the future. I can’t say enough good things about Nichola and her skills as a REALTOR®. She is awesome, fun, professional, punctual, considerate and friendly… and she hands you a cheque on the same day she hands you keys. THAT’S unheard of.

My husband and I recently purchased a home and were so fortunate to have had Nichola as our REALTOR®. From the moment we met her, we were impressed by her efficiency, professionalism and knowledge of real estate. This was my second time purchasing a home and my husband’s first- Nichola always responded to our unending questions promptly and was incredibly patient with us. She enthusiastically explained things in a manner we could understand (as novice homebuyers we appreciated this) and made the entire process stress-free. Negotiations for the purchase of the home went incredibly smoothly and we appreciated that she was never pushy. Nichola clearly loves her job and her friendly, warm personality makes her very suited to this line of work. We would encourage all of our friends and family to contact Nichola should they find themselves buying or selling a home and we will be certainly calling her again for any real estate transactions. We cannot possibly say enough good things about Nichola- she made the home buying process easy (and actually enjoyable!) for both of us.

I would like to thank Nichola at Rock Point Realty for helping me find my first home! When I first called her I knew absolutely nothing about buying a home. Her knowledge and experience made the process easy, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish! I am very happy with my new home, and would recommend Rock Point Realty to anyone in the real-estate market. Plus, the cash-back cheque is a great bonus that comes at a great time, to help cover some of the costs with purchasing a home!

Nichola was referred to me by a close contact of mine and I can speak with confidence when I say I will never be using a different REALTOR® again. Her drive, passion and experience in the industry combined with her work ethic and integrity is second to none in the real estate business. After dealing with a few other realtors prior to meeting Nichola, I can proudly say I would recommend her to any individual looking to purchase their first, or fiftieth home. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.

Nichola was referred to me by a friend of mine because she had done great work for them in the past and she continued that reputation with me. My house was sold in under a month!! I will be using her services again when buying or selling my next home.

Working with Nichola is a breeze! She was professional, punctual, and always knew her stuff. I have purchased a few homes with Nichola, and I will continue to use her as my agent as I trust her 100%. The cash back is a nice bonus, but compared to the quality of service, it’s just that…a bonus!
- C. Allen
Nichola is hard working and efficient. I will be recommending Nichola to family and friends and I will be using her for my next home purchase.

Selling our first home was very difficult, I loved this home, and with two kids I dreaded the stress that I heard about from friends and family regarding their selling experiences. Working with Nichola was so easy! She did everything she said she was going to do and on time! She was honest and very professional. She made the sale of our home easy and stress free! We saved money using her as our agent but we would have paid full price! She even helped us buy or new home and we saved money there too!

When purchasing our fist home in 2008 with Nichola Ryhanen it was easier than expected. She guided us through as to what we were looking for, where we wanted to live and how much we wanted to spend and from there gave us many options. She was always pleasant to deal with and was there when we needed her. During the largest purchase in our lives Nichola was very understanding and supportive. We are so glad we chose Nichola as our REALTOR® and would love to work with her again in the future.

Rock Point Realty Rocks! Especially their young REALTOR® – NICHOLA RYHANEN. From the very first meeting, Nichola showed her eagerness to find me a new home that would fit all my needs. When Nichola told me about the 25% cash back to buyers, I have to admit I was a little skeptical but it was true! On the day I received the keys for my new home, Nichola presented me with a cheque and her personal house warming gift on top of it! Pretty darn wonderful! Thank you Nichola for all your help! You made my first-time home purchase a pleasant and most exciting experience.

During a very stressful time of trying to sell a home working with Nichola Ryhanen was one of the easiest and best decisions I made. She was honest and helpful in every decision and did a great job showing the home. From the listing to dealing with other Realtors Nichola was always prompt and efficient. The overall sale was quick and done in a timely manner. I would recommend Nichola to anyone who is looking to sell their home with support and success.
