I was introduced to Nicola Speranta through my CPA, Michael DiPietro. My dear husband of 23 years passed away unexpected at the young age of 46 on Mother's Day 2012. I was very distressed by this situation physically, emotionally & psychologically and could not think straight. I, not only lost the love of my life, my best friend, and father to our three children, but also his great salary.

My wife just purchased our first home with the help of Nicola Speranta and her team. We had the best experience so I wanted to take some time write up a review. My mom was actually the person to find Nicola. She and my wife were out looking at homes for fun and happened to hear a New Zealand accent. My mom being from Australia was interested in… finding out who this person was so she introduced herself and ended leaving with Nicola’s business card. A month or so later, we were speaking and she implored me follow up with Nicola and see if she could help us on our first home buying journey

DONT WORK WITH Christine Edwards Arcaris!!
I would like to utilize this platform to share my experience with one of this company's realtors, Christine Edwards Arcaris. As a first home buyer and interested in a house in the Monrovia area, I decided to go with the seller's realtor so I could get some inside information and compete, provide a strong… application, and get the house that I wanted. This person (Christine Edwards Arcaris) asked me for three (3) documents: a pre-approval letter, a proof of funds (downpayment), and a letter to the seller. The same day I received an email from Christine

We can not say enough good things about this AMAZING woman!! Not only did she help us to get top dollar for our home, she went through many obstacles to find us and get us into our “forever home” She is incredibly knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond for her clients. Not only is she professional, she is also extremely personable! She truly cares about her clients! She loves her job and finds great joy in bringing joy to others! We will highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

Nicola and her incredible team were just what we needed to finally buy our first home. They have a great system and she has lots of experience. Nicola knows how to be there for you as buyers and to work for you… when it is truly needed during the tiresome escrow process. They even sent sweet treats to help us celebrate our closing which was much appreciated as we were a little ragged there at the end of our first escrow experience. We really appreciate her honesty, patience, and kindness. We would definitely work with her and her team again. Thank you all for doing everything you could to

My fiancé and I were first time home buyers and we feel so blessed to have been connected to Nicola. She was an amazing steward through the home buying process! She answered all of our questions and did a great job explaining the process to us. She did not pressure us, and helped us see the positives and negatives of each property we saw. Her light spirit kept the process fun. Additionally, we followed her advise on lenders, and were able to close in 20 days (which is so fast!). Her assistant Staysi was also incredibly helpful, kind, and super responsive. I would highly recommend Nicola and her

This was my second time working with Nicola, first time was a buy transaction for my Pasadena condo, this time was a sale of the same property. I am very happy and satisfied to have had the opportunity to work with Nicola and Staysi for my real estate needs. As this was my first time selling a property, I interviewed several agents to collect information and educate myself as well as understand different approaches for marketing, staging, and pricing. Nicola came to my home with a detailed presentation, including marketing approach, comp data, pricing strategy/reasoning, and a detailed plan of

I cannot say enough good things about Nicola. She is friendly, professional, she knows her stuff and she knows how to get things done. She helped me sell my Mom's home quickly and for a great price. It was a complicated sale and involved dealing with the city and inspectors. Recently she helped me get my condo rented quickly, in the midst of the Covid shut down. Her attitude is so positive, she makes every transaction smooth and fun. Call her!

I cannot say enough about Nicola Speranta and her team. We just closed on the sale of our home in Monrovia at 5% over list price in a transaction where we went into contract just 7 days after listing. What is even more impressive, though, is the transformation that she made to our property.
Nicola took over the listing from a previous broker who had done a poor job marketing the home and put very little effort into sprucing it up and preparing it for sale. Nicola came in with a clear plan on how we could transform the home in a short amount of time and at a reasonable cost. We had already moved

If you've been fortunate enough to find Nicola to represent you, you know you've found gold. I met Nicola when my grandmother was desperate to sell her home and had met other agents offering low comps and pressuring expensive upgrades to turn a decent profit..lucky for us, we found Nicola. With years of experience under her belt, she immediately put us at ease and made the whole process seem easy. She did not demand expensive upgrades and was very considerate with whom she was working with. Nicola was kind, professional, precise, confident and very down to earth. She truly cared about our needs

I used Nicola to purchase the property I just sold. I continue to love working with her. She has an amazing ability to maximize value and knows the local market very well. Moreover, she is able to provide advice and guidance on a variety of real estate issues. (I had a tense roommate situation, and she was able to walk me through how to handle the situation as painlessly as possible.) I needed to move quickly as I was selling the property to help fund the cost of my masters’ degree. I had trouble finding a moving company and storage in a quick manner. With one phone call, Nicola had managed to

My family and I had the privilege of working with Nicola Speranta and her team when we sold our house in Temple City, CA. We interviewed several realtors in the area and really needed a strong realtor, as we live six hours away. Nicola’s presentation regarding the sale of our home far exceeded her competitors and we knew from the beginning that… she was the person for the job. Our property was in need of some significant repairs due to deferred maintenance. Nicola served as project manager and arranged to address all of the repairs and improvements and had them completed within short

When my elderly grandmother was ready to sell, Nicola came highly recommended from a close friend who had used her to both sell and purchase her home. My friend had nothing but wonderful things to say about this woman and quickly after meeting Nicola, I understood why. She is friendly, funny, charismatic, down to earth and within minutes of… meeting, it was evident she knows the real estate business like the back of her hand. Her experience and warm demeanor immediately put myself and grandmother at ease as she talked us through the process of what to expect. She recognized my grandmother

My husband and I bought and sold multiple homes before meeting Nicola. I've always considered myself very knowledgeable in real estate but when we found the house of our dreams and needed to sell our current… home all within a tight timeline, I knew we needed an expert. Nicola orchestrated the purchase of our new home along with the sale of our previous home.
We actually met her at an open house years ago and her friendly nature and easy-going demeanor made her quite memorable when we were looking for a local expert. Not only did she turn out to be a phenomenal realtor, she was also a negotiator

Amazing realtor!!! My husband and I met Nicola at an open house. You could tell right away that she had her finger on the pulse of the real estate market here. Shortly thereafter, we learned what a well-oiled machine she is running at Speranta Group! It was immediately apparent that she is a great listener and understood our long list of needs. She focused solely on the properties that fit our criteria, so we didn't have to spend needless time looking at houses that weren't right for us. We appreciated her honesty, fairness and direct nature. The whole process from start to finish was fast and

Save yourself the time & energy, go straight to Nicola Speranta! You will not regret it! She is the best in the business! A true professional. I did my research on Nicola Speranta prior to reaching out to her office. Nicola's portfolio ranges from selling starter condos to multimillion dollar dream homes. I was extremely impressed watching her in… action. Nicola treats all her clients equal; I loved that about her! Not only did Nicola find the perfect home for my family(buying agent), we hired Nicola as our selling agent on our townhouse too. Both transactions were completed seamlessly

Nicola was the perfect real estate agent for my husband and I. We were buying our first home and needed someone patient, knowledgeable attentive and accessible, and Nicola was all of those things. She… answered every call, patiently helped us with every question we had and showed us multiple properties until we found the right one. If you want someone who will answer and return your calls in a timely manner, work extremely hard for you and be honest then you definitely want to work with Nicola and her team.

We bought a PUD in the highly competitive market of Monrovia. Nicola closely helped us throughout the process. When our initial offer was returned, she devised the best counter-offer which secured us the property, despite other offers on the property. She also helped us to find the right mortgage agent and insurance agent and overall the whole… process was made very simple and fluid, thanks to her. She is very responsive and hard working with super fast turnout. Nicola is also very family oriented and understands and values the needs of families and kids. I would strongly recommend her.
