    About Nicolette Rice

    As a proud Bend native and lifelong Central Oregon local, real estate is more than my profession; it's my passion. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, launching my own business in real estate was both an exciting and natural next step. I take great pride in helping clients find the perfect place to call home, and I approach every transaction with integrity, attention to detail, and genuine care. Before becoming a full-time Realtor®, I spent 18 years as Vice President of a local residential and commercial construction company. During that time, I helped hundreds of clients choose the ideal locations for their homes and guided them through interior and exterior design decisions. That experience taught me how essential it is to listen closely, communicate clearly, and always put the client's needs first, values that remain the foundation of my real estate career today. Buying or selling a home is one of the most important decisions people make, and I believe it should be a positive, informed, and enjoyable experience from start to finish. I'm committed to providing my clients with professional guidance, honest communication, and personalized service every step of the way. When I'm not helping clients, you'll find me spending time with my two amazing children and enjoying all that Central Oregon has to offer -- boating, camping, hiking, snowboarding, and exploring this incredible place I'm fortunate to call home.

    Nicollette is an amazing, locally connected, realtor. She was very honest with me about what I needed to do to sell quickly, gave me an honest assessment of the market, and helped me sell from across the country where I was working/living at the time. I cannot recommend her enough, but the fact that my house was under contract in 10 days speaks for itself.

    I highly recommend Nicolette Rice as both a realtor and friend. Last year, she skillfully sold my home, securing an excellent offer with ease. This year, she guided me through buying a new house, demonstrating unwavering patience and market expertise. Her professionalism is complemented by her personal care, making every step stress-free and enjoyable. If you're seeking a dedicated and supportive real estate partner, look no further than Nicolette. Thank you for making these transitions so rewarding!

    Thankfully, we were referred to Nicolette by a friend. The thought of navigating a long distance search, in an unfamiliar state and town was dauntingaEUR| until we spoke with Nicolette for the first time. She was patient, kind, respectful and extremely knowledgeable! Our concerns melted away within minutes. When my wife flew to Bend to meet Nicolette, she was prepared with an assortment of homes that we proactively prescreened together. To our delight, we found the perfect home on that first visit! We placed an offer and Nicolette worked her magic! All negotiations and aEURoehagglingaEUR? were managed expertly by Nicolette, our offer was accepted and we entered escrow without a hitch. Nicolette hooked us up with an outstanding local lender, insurance agent, utility company contacts, and a wealth of aEURoelocal knowledgeaEUR? to help us feel welcome and get settled! Our escrow was stress-free and we received the keys to our new home right on schedule! We are so grateful for Nicolettes outstanding service - we could not be happier - THANK YOU!!

    Nicollette is a gem!! First of all, coming from out of state it was important that we find a realtor we could trust and Nicollette came highly recommended through a friend who lives in Bend. Not only is Nicollette knowledgeable with the market in the Bend area, she went above and beyond to give us the VIP treatment with an extensive tour of the area and lots of local recommendations. Without a doubt Nikki hit a home run with our family (we feel like we won the lottery) and because of Nikkis expertise we bought a beautiful home in Bend. We are so grateful that we had Nikki on our side to help us find exactly what we were looking for!!
