    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.

    Working with Nicolette was truly one of the best decisions our family made. Over the course of three years, she patiently guided us through a major life transitionaEUR"helping us move from Idaho to OregonaEUR"never rushing us and always keeping our long-term happiness front and center. She showed us countless homes (honestly, it felt like a hundred!), took the time to understand our familys needs as they evolved, and never once made us feel like we were asking too much. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and advocacy on our behalf were exceptional, but what really sets her apart is who she is as a person. This wasnt just a transactionaEUR"it was a relationship built on trust, honesty, and genuine care. When we finally found our forever property, it felt incredibly meaningful to reach that moment with someone who had been on the journey with us every step of the way. By the end of it all, we didnt just gain a homeaEUR"we gained a friend. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a real estate agent who is patient, dedicated, and truly invested in her clients.

    Nicolette is hands-down the best Realtor to work with in the Bend area. Because she has lived here for decades, her knowledge of the neighborhoods and the local market is unmatched. She offered insights and advice that we simply wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. On top of her expertise, her logistics were flawless. She is incredibly organized, always punctual, and very responsive. You can tell she respects her clients' time because every meeting and interaction was perfectly planned. A truly 5-star experience.

    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.

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!
