  Stop searching. Forget anyone else. Nick Pallis is the realtor you want. The person you want on your side. I cannot recommend working with Nick enough and would be excited for the opportunity to work with him again in the future. The long review. To write a review about Nick Pallis is to not  only write about a diligent professional of the highest order, but also to write about a truly wonderful person with integrity and intelligence so rare in these times. We met four years ago after the death of my father left me with his share of an undeveloped piece of property. This property wasn't just undeveloped, it was completely raw land covered in trees, slope and erosion issues, bound by strict county zoning and regulations. The only reason I inherited it was that it was seemingly valueless and more work than it was worth to sell. It was almost donated just to unload the property tax burden. Selling this piece of land was no easy task. Sorry. It was easy for me and my family, not for Nick. From the beginning and with every step on the way to a very very successful conclusion, Nick thoughtfully considered my family's situation and how best to do right by us. Whether it was patiently explaining each step of the process and our options BEFORE it was time to act, allowing us to make informed decisions or being thoughtful enough to initiate contact with us to give us status updates about various pieces of the puzzle coming together. There were even times every so often, when something was taking awhile to get through the city or county woodwork, he would call just to check in with us and say there was still no news but whatever it is we were waiting on was still on track! Amazing!!! We never wondered what was going on. Never felt abandoned during a long and arduous process. Never were on our own. Nick was always there. Tirelessly leading the charge. Selling this black sheep of a property. Before we could even have an idea what we could get out of this property let alone put it on the market, Nick had to plan and execute a strategy of discovery and development that maximized every dollar we spent. He not only organized a team of specialists to perform geotech surveys, soil samples, drainage analysis, clear up three generations of family title work etc but also correctly built all this into foundation of data to support his sales strategy. A strategy even more successful due to his continually up to date knowledge of the real estate, regulatory and political arenas. Thus, after all of his work and that of the professionals he brought in to move the project forward, we were more than prepared the day a buyer approached us... approached us out of the blue before we had the property on the open market. Nick provided the buyer with our portfolio of data about the property and they were amazed. The completeness of our data was above and beyond their expectations. An all cash offer well above anyone's hopes and without contingencies came the next day. 30 days later the deal was done. So while this was a dramatic and wildly successful sale, it was almost sad. The process was long and involved, and definitely had it's ups and downs over the years. Through it all Nick was there and grew into a part of our family. He was with me as I switched careers, went through school again and have launched off on new ventures. He will always be a very positive part of those memories and an inspirational role model how to conduct professional business. If you are still reading, give Nick a call and then be prepared to write your own glowing review.
