Thor Nissen's Reviews & Ratings

Thor Nissen

    • Thor was extremely professional and extremely competent with the selling of our town home. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding pricing trends, and also had the best home photographer come to our location prior to our listing. We actually were able to sell our home PRIOR to going to market. Thor was excellent in handling all communication between us as the sellers, and the new buyers. We were so thrilled with his expertise, that we used him again to purchase our new home. We have recommended him to many friends and family members, and everyone is very satisfied.

    • After researching representation options for our home buying process, we selected Thor and his team to exclusively assist us... and this was the BEST decision we could have made! This was by far the easiest, most stress-free, and efficient buying process we have ever had. Thor was beyond responsive and attentive to our needs. His ethical approach and candor set him apart from our other experiences. I firmly believe that he always had our best interests in mind. He did not try to persuade us into decisions we were not comfortable with. His market and industry knowledge was unbelievable and he was accurate in his assessments. Without a doubt, if faced with a similar situation in the future we will seek out Thor. And if you're a prospective client/customer reading this, I strongly urge you to do the same!

    • Thor did a great job in helping me decide what I needed to do before I listed my condo. He was well informed and very concise about what we should list my condo for. He was really responsive as well, including coming to my local watering hole to sign the paperwork. Everything worked out so well, and I can't thank Thor enough for his professionalism and knowledge.

    • Thor was great for our buying process. He knew the neighborhood that we wanted to be in and even let us look at a house that wasn't listed. This ended up being the house that we chose, but he took us to other houses in our target areas to see. We just loved the first house so much, so we put an offer in the next day. He negotiated with the seller and we were able to come up with a deal. The whole process was so seamless because Thor was knowledgeable and so responsive.

    • Thor first helped me sell an investment condo and then he also helped me buy my current home. Thor did such a great job on both, that I have also recommended him highly to several friends, neighbors, and family over the years and they have all been very happy with Thor, his recommendations, and their transactions as a whole. You will be pleasantly surprised at how easy he can make an otherwise painful process!

    • I highly recommend Thor! He is friendly, easy to work with, and very good at what he does. He found a buyer for our house through networking. The whole process was simple, seamless and efficient.

    • Thor represented us in the recent sale of our house. He was so great to work with. He has a knack for pricing due to his background in appraising homes, and our house was under contract in 2 days! He does a great job marketing his listings using professional photographs to make your home really stand out! Thor really advocated for us to get the most out of our sale. When our buyer's mortgage company caused a delay in closing, Thor was in constant communication with the lender and the buyer's agent to make sure everything went through as quickly and smoothly as possible. I really enjoyed working with Thor and will definitely work with him again in the future should we need to sell or buy another house!

    • Thor ushered my family through our entire home buying process with complete understanding of our needs and helped us make the best decision for our future. With his expertise he was able to point out negatives and positives for all the properties shown.He demonstrated patience and professionalism with the seller when the home required repairs that were exposed on the day of closing. Although it was a stressful situation he assured us that there would be no issue moving forward on the home that we desired.Thor recommended a mortgage agent which also went beyond expectations with expediency and technically sound paperwork.Thor's paperwork precision and timing is great as he is technically savvy as well. His negotiations allow you to relax because he will get what you need. Communication was great and he has an ability to put you in a place that will make you and your family happier than you could have thought.Highly recommended!!!

    • Thor helped us purchase our first home, and was outstanding to work with. He was always there for us every step of the way, and his background in appraisal helped us make sure we were making a smart purchasing decision. I look forward to working with Thor again, and would recommend him to any of our family/friends.

    • We used Thor to sell our home and to buy a new home. He was great with both. He sold our home before it went on the market through his vast networking in the industry and negotiated a fair price. When we bought our new home, there were very few houses for sale in our desired area. When we found "the one", he moved quick, advised us well, worked with a tough sellers agent and got us a great price. I will use Thor again and we have already recommended him to others who have used him. Thor and his team are great. You will be in good hands and feel like you are his only clients.

    • This was incredible with helping us find and purchase our home. It was my first time house hunting and Thor made the process so enjoyable. He explained every step, took the time to listen to the things we wanted and helped us navigate different neighborhoods, layouts, and price points.

      - mkcheeley
    • We would highly recommend Thor as an agent! He helped us in the selling of our home and the purchase of our new home. We had specific needs for our new house, and Thor was excellent in making sure the houses we saw met those needs. He was in contact with us within minutes of a great listing being posted. Due to this efficient timing, we were able to see the house within hours and had it under contract by that evening. We would have never been able to get this house without Thor! With his market knowledge and his appraisal expertise, he was able to negotiate the right price even with more than one offer on the table. Thor made the process of selling and buying a home exciting instead of stressful!

    • We were on a time crunch with very specific needs. Thor moved very quickly and found the property that was perfect for us. We were inexperienced in the process so his expertise guided us through it and really helped. The communication was prompt and we would gladly recommend him to anyone.

    • If you are like me, you've been looking at tons of online reviews to ensure you have an excellent realtor. Believe me when I say that you can't go wrong with Thor Nissen. Back in 2013, the housing market was barely showing signs of recovery and my wife and I were hesitant to even try to sell our house. Prior to meeting Thor, we tried to sell our house without success. Thor used his vast appraisal experience to determine a fair selling price while using his realtor experience to provide suggestions on how to best make our house appealing to buyers. I truly believe that Thor's experience in both facets of real estate helped us get a cash offer on our house within a few short weeks. Of course Thor did not stop after the offer was received. He diligently walked us through every step of the house selling process. During the inspection, we were notified of several items that the buyers wanted addressed. Thor was always available to discuss each item line by line and assisted us in coming to an acceptable agreement with the buyer. Instead of just 'throwing money' at the problem, Thor's experience dictated what needed to be done to satisfy the inspection requirements. Finally, Thor recommended a mortgage agent who was excellent as all requirements were completed in an accurate and timely manner. In fact, my wife and I have used the same mortgage agent to refinance our current house and have recommended him to many friends. We were so impressed with Thor that we used him to purchase our current home. Thor even arranged for us to close on our old house and our new house within an hour of each other on the same day - saving us not only our time, but our sanity! Trust me, you can't go wrong with Thor Nissen.

    • Thor is the agent you want when you're serious about selling your property at maximum value.He sold a condominium for me during a time when the market was less than optimal and managed to negotiate a price that far exceeded my expectations. Not only does he have strong process knowledge, he also brings to the table a wealth of market knowledge from his experience as a real estate appraiser. There's no one better qualified to sell your home than Thor!

      - Kevin Floyd
    • Thor was an absolute pleasure to work with. His insight is invaluable and attention to detail impeccable. His staging technique was very impressive. Right down to the angle of the widow blinds.He gave me plenty of lead time before showings and inspections. And kept me up to date through the negotiation process. In all, Thor took the stress out of selling my house and made the experience incredibly smooth.

    • Thor helped us buy our house and we could not have picked a better agent. The housing market was extremely challenging with a low supply but Thor found the perfect house for us. Thor pointed out details in the house I would not have thought to consider when buying, guest parking, main roads, etc. We were lucky to have Thor because we were first time home buyers and he made the process easy for us. He took care of all the paperwork and always had our best interest as his first priority. We will only use Thor for our real estate needs going forward.

    • Thor Nissen has helped us with buying and selling our homes from our first home(s) to our current home and all in between. He exceeds all expectations in what you would want from a realtor, but a few things definitely stand out to me. 1) His experience with appraisal values is helpful when making buying (and selling/negotiating) decisions 2) his extensive network of reliable contacts for anything from HVAC service to home inspectors was so helpful every step of the way in selling and in buying and 3) last but not least he has a genuine desire to see his clients not only sell/buy their home, but for them to be happy and satisfied in the end.... even checking in long after the deal is done to make sure of that. I hope we are in our current home to stay, but he will be our first call when/if that ever changes.

      - katyholbrook9
    • Thor was highly recommended by a good friend of mine and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the work he did for us. He made the home buying process very simple and went to bat for us and always came back with a positive outcome. We will definitely be using him again if needed.

      - matthew selleck
    • Thor has proven to be extremely knowledgeable in all real estate areas during the sale of our condo. His commitment to provide value and extraordinary experience for his customers is above first class. Thor is very professional and proves his skills and knowledge in every communication. Always available to answer questions and solve problems I have felt taken care of and very fortunate to have him on our side. With no hesitation we will use Thor's services for any real estate transaction in the future and we strongly recommend any one to contact Thor.

    • I really enjoyed working with Thor and Allison. I would highly recommend both, or either of them individually, for anyone in the market for a new house. It was a great experience, and I think they are both awesome at what they do and are awesome people!

    • My Realtor, Thor Nissen, is fantastic. He is experienced/knowledgeable, and just as important (to me anyway), he's ethical, he explains things in a way that makes the process easy to understand, he's down-to-earth, and he is thorough. An all-around good guy. You can go wrong working with Thor as your realtor!!

      - louisaperkins
    • I used Thor and Alison for the purchase of my first home and, I have to say, I would have never made it without them. With multiple life changing events taking place all at one time, I found myself easily stressed and overwhelmed but Thor and Alison always put my mind at ease. They took every phone call, responded to every e-mail and text and truly worked diligently to ensure my first experience was the best possible. I cannot say enough good things about these guys. They are so knowledgeable, so friendly and just good people. I would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or sell!

    • When else do you get the experience of a real estate agent AND an appraiser in one team? Your Home Team (Thor & Allison) were fantastic throughout purchase of our new home. We bought our new home for 100k under the bank appraisal value! We also received fantastic guidance on which houses to tour and when. We saw the home we ended up purchasing hours after it went on the market because this team was on the lookout. Our home such a good deal it had 3 offers in one day, but thankfully we had the guidance to beat our competing bids. I'm so glad Thor and Allison were on the hunt and told us to look at it quickly. Most agents are just not that proactive.
