Ray helped us with a tight window relocation move. Ray was super responsive and knew the region very well. Ray worked closely with us to ensure we could find the place we needed and meet the tight timing required. Ray is really good at what he does. I would highly recommend his services.

He is excellent at his job, he helped us a lot

Rays professionalism was on point, and his friendly nature made working with him incredibly helpful. He locked in appointments for us, patiently met with us to view many properties until we found our forever home. He was a genuine pleasure to be around and provided plenty of details on each property. He was incredibly responsive and made himself available to answer any questions we h...

Thank you so much for all of your help! We are so grateful for all of the hard work you've done to not only help us sell our home, but to find our dream home as well. We are endlessly grateful to have you as our agent and couldn't be happier with the way everything worked out.

Great Job!

This is my second home I've bought with Ray. There is no one else that can match his work ethic. Thanks Ray

I would refer Ray to anyone with their real estate needs. His professionalism and responsiveness are commendable. He helped my son in finding a house he can call home for his new family. He then worked with me in selling my property and did a great job communicating every step needed leading to a seamless and successful sale. Currently, he is in search of a dream house for my daughter’...

Ray was very responsive. His emphasis was on looking out for us as the buyers and negotiating a fair price. We found a great home in Algonquin that we’re very happy with. Highly recommended.

We feel very lucky to have found Ray Nicolas as our realtor. He was professional and showed that he really is an expert in his field. He made the home buying process very easy to understand and had some great recommendations. He was also very easy to get along with. We clicked right from the first phone call me and my wife had with him we knew right away he would the one to help us find ...

Ray was AWESOME! He always answered his phone and replied to emails on time. He had good understanding of the local market and helped us sell our home quickly for a good price. He knew how to make our home more presentable in the market and to the buyer. Highly recommend, RAY for both buyers and sellers!

We were first time home buyers and ended up with our dream home. Ray was looking out for us the entire time, researching things we didn't know to check for, and he was veto knowledgeable. He made us made feel very supported, plus he is very positive, fun, and comfortable. I would and will highly recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor!

Great to work with Ray Nicolas!

The overall experience with our agent Ray Nicholas has been extraordinary. His knowledge and expertise of the local market was a contributing factor in the prompt sale of out property during a slow market time.

Ray is a great asset to Baird & Warner. His professionalism and experience is top notch. We are so happy and grateful for the assistance he gave us. Thank you!

Friendly, courteous, and professional!!!!!!

Ray helped us sell our house in Lombard, IL (we had to relocate to Kansas due to my job) and we could not have been happier with the experience. He provided great feedback and advice on staging the house and and getting it ready to sell. Once we were on the market, he was aggressive in negotiating with prospective buyers and their agents to get us the best possible price for the house....

This is the 3rd time we've worked with Ray. He'd originally helped us get our first rental. Every experience (renting or buying) has been a breeze. I'd consider Ray a part of our family with all the help he's given us. Educated on every step.

Working with Ray was great. He communicated well, was responsive and with his help and suggestions we received a great offer on my place.

It’s always a pleasure to work with Ray. He is very professional, always responds to my inquiries and does a great job on helping me choose the best tenants for my rental.

Ray is a great asset to Baird & Warner, simply the best.

Our agent ray was amazing, made the whole process of selling a house and buying one at same time very easy.

Ray is always one step ahead of the situation, very proactive and thorough. He always take his time to listen to understand our needs and work towards his client's interest. One thing I learned from him is....asking is an opportunity: you will not know the answer unless you ask. Keep it up! Thanks Ray

always a pleasure to work with!!

Ray Nicholas was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process! He helped my family relocate from the Boston area, and I'd highly recommend him to anyone. Ray is such a pleasure to work with - communicative, responsive and skilled during the negotiations. He's such a great and honest person; we feel so lucky that we connected with him to help us relocate.

Ray was awesome! Having worked with Ray on our previous rental accommodation, he was the obvious choice for us when making our first purchase. He provided valuable insight and showed immense patience during the entire process taking time to understand and cater to our needs and concerns! I would highly recommend Ray to anyone looking to buy or sell. I will definitely use him as our ag...

I am extremely happy to know and work with Ray. He is very knowledgeable and provides you with expert guidance from the beginning and the preparation of my townhome to the delivery of the keys. The property was listed for only 6 days. He pays attention to every detail. He is overall an outstanding realtor. He is always available when I need him, and I know Ray is always acting with my be...

This was my second experience with Ray it was just as pleasant as the first one. I was looking to move from a house to a condo in the same general area. Ray is knowledgeable and was always available, even on short notice. I could not have done this without him and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Raymond Was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs and wishes . I am very Please as our home sold quickly and with such ease. Do to our agent with Baird and warner . I would highly recommend Raymond Nicholis as any ones agent

Ray was very responsive to our needs. He shared some good ideas and made the sale of our home go very smooth.

Ray was a referral to my wife Susan and I . We can both agree that after minutes of time spent with him, his cool laid back persona sold us and we looked at him more as a friend we have known for years. Absolutely a treat to work with , with such professional charisma. He will be are go to guy in future sales of all our properties.
