    About Nicole Shaye

    Our region is a WONDERFUL place to work and live. I've lived in many parts of Coastal Virginia and other parts of the globe, and know a great place to live when I see one. Our area has so many treasures. I was born into a military family, and that meant mobility. The U.S. Navy brought us to Seattle, Florida, Spain, and Chesapeake, VA. After Great Bridge High School, my next "home" was Christopher Newport University (CNU) as a student-athlete. My specialty was the 1500m run, and I was honored to be conference champion while proudly wearing my CNU uniform. Post-college, I explored a career in Parks & Recreation, which reflected my love of kids and the outdoors; and I also had a successful career as an independent massage therapist -- where diligence, reliability, and the highest professional standards mattered. In 2016, I launched a new chapter exploring my love of real estate (I DO love it, ask my husband Daniel!). I love homes, their history, their design, the rhythms of the market, and making families happy. Fathom Realty was ultimately the best fit for me and my clients' needs. I love the freedom and flexibility Fathom offers, the company's culture and values, and the extensive, well-developed information network that gives me access to the data home buyers and sellers need to know. Why is Williamsburg my family's home? First and foremost, it's the people who make it such a vibrant, friendly network of neighborhoods and communities. The area has charm, with areas that are downright quaint (what could be more quaint than Colonial Williamsburg & The College of William & Mary?). We have suburban character and shops as well as industry; yet the area also has ample access to the water and nature. A quick car trip and you're in Virginia Beach, OBX, Richmond, or even the nation's capitol -- though we LOVE it right here! My husband, Performance Chiropractic's clinical director Dr. Daniel Shaye, is my friend and partner. Together we enjoy such treasures as walking in Colonial Williamsburg with our dog Leroy. We love this area, through and through. I look forward to helping sellers find the right buyer, at the right price, in the right time-frame; and helping buyers find your next home, investment property, or dream home here in the town WE call home.

    Nicole did a fantastic job helping us find our home in VA. Moving from out of state we had no connections to anyone and came across Nicole at our chiropractors practice. She was encouraging, honest, and helpful throughout the entire process. Never once did we feel as though we were being scammed or lied to just so she could sell a home to us. My husband and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a home!

    Nicole was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to understand the details about what we were looking for in a home and find properties to match our wish list. She was very responsive to short time frame requests to tour properties and always eager to go look at a new house. We ultimately bought a house that presented a challenge in that it was a very hot property and only on the market for 5 days before the owner considered multiple offers, including ours. Nicole helped us with our offer strategy and gave good advice about how to craft the offer in a way that the home owner would find it appealing. She is an all-around gem of a person, friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with in every way. Highly recommended!

    We had a pretty complex selling situation and we were moving from VA to NH with 4 kids. Nicole was amazing and made the process so easy. She was extremely knowledgeable and was always there whenever we needed ANYTHING. Would 10/10 recommend using her to sell your home or buy a new one. Thank you so much Nicole for everything!

    Nicole made my first time selling a home super easy and stress-free. She advised me through the entire process and effortlessly answered all my questions. She took the time to listen to my goal to sell quickly and steered me away from anything that was unnecessary. She knows the Williamsburg market very well and was quick to find comparable homes to help me set a price. She was always quick to respond to my texts and phone calls and kept me up to date on offers and while closing. I wish I had used her to buy my home in the first place and that she was available to help me with buying my next home out of state.

    Who pays realtor fees with a for sale by owner house?

    Hi! Typically seller pays the realtor fees for a sale of any home. Although remember it is part of the contract and it is always negotiable.
