I’ve worked with Nikki over the past 7 years for purchasing 2 homes and selling one home. I went back to her because she is simply the best: reliable, trustworthy, dedicated, responsive, and knowledgeable. Nikki was very mature and flexible when it came to tough conversations and never pushed or pressured my decision in any way. We also loved that she knew both Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, since we were looking in multiple neighborhoods across state lines. I love Nikki as a realtor, as a professional, and as a human. You will not regret choosing her, and we hope to continue working with her in the future.

I cannot say enough great things about Nikki. Buying and selling is one of the most stressful experiences I've ever been through, and Nikki was there to help me every single step of the way. The house I was selling was an absolute nightmare. Built in 1880 and designed as a farmhouse, it needed a lot of work that came up during the selling process: new paint, new gutters and siding repair, deck repair, plumbing re-routed, new roof shingles, and several other miscellaneous issues. It went under contract twice but was released during the inspection period, which was super discouraging considering we needed to close by a certain date to purchase our new...

When you make or sell the biggest purchase of your life, you need (not want) to work with the best of the best. The best, successful agents also keep others across industries at the top of their game with them, as you never know what you might need fixed or repaired in a pinch. You need things done right, and that’s where Nikki and her team come in. I’ve never sold my home or gone down the path to buy a home with a partner together so there were lots of new things happening. Nikki walked us through every step, was in constant communication, and we left every conversation feeling better. We started with looking for our first home together, and with e...

Nikki Hayden and the Herr Team are literally the top 5% of realtors in Greater Cincinnati. She is nothing less than the most dedicated, hard-working, experienced, and cutting-edge realtor I have ever met, but also, she is just an all-around great person. I had some ridiculously tough challenges with my house, some were known and the largest challenge we both had no idea. Nikki came at everything with such a positive attitude and always had a solution in the works before ever coming to me. Her timeliness was impeccable, considering I had to relocate for work in less than 2 months, and she did everything with so much professionalism. They provided pro...

Nikki represented us as a buyer and seller. It was a whirlwind and we wouldn't have been able to do it without Nikki. Her advice and guidance were spot on. She is truly an expert and not only that, but a complete pleasure to work with. She made a complex process easier for our family and never missed a beat. I cannot rave enough about Nikki!

I don’t like the home-selling and buying process. When I shared my concerns, Nikki was so assuring and did a magnificent job of selling our home with all our requests. From going live to closing was only 3 weeks. I would definitely use her and Team Herr again.

Nikki helped us purchase our home, and sold it years later when we received an offer to leave the city. She is very knowledgeable, optimistic, kind and will work her butt off to get you exactly what you want. We have recommended Nikki to many people and will continue to do so. She’s the real deal.

My experience working with Nikki was amazing, from start to finish. As a first-time homebuyer, I appreciated the way that Nikki guided me through the whole experience every step of the way. Whenever I became overwhelmed or discouraged, her positivity and empathetic support helped me to move through the home-buying challenges and get my mental and emotional state back on track to continue on in the home-buying journey, which was at times arduous! Nikki really took the time to explain things, answer my questions, and demystify each aspect of the process. She was communicative and responsive when I needed her. Her knowledge and expertise make her an in...

I was lucky to get connected with Nikki through Zillow because she was a savior during my first experience as a home buyer. She made it easy, fast, and fun. She has exceptional expertise and made the effort to accommodate my wants and needs. She will always be my realtor going forward.

Nikki is a consummate professional who adds fun to the buying process. She has a true care for her clients and support throughout. From searching to closing, she has been there for me, and I couldn’t recommend anyone else.
