Nick & Nikki, Realtors - Malatesta Team

Fantastic experience: Nick & Nikki were amazing and I am so glad that we worked together. I was impressed by so many things including the amount of knowledge they possessed and their responsiveness. The listing was very complex and they handled everything amazingly. If you are interviewing agents and don't know who to work with, they are a no-brainer.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Nick and Nikki. They stayed in constant touch, answered all our questions and nothing was too stupid. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: We cannot recommend Nick annd Nikki enough! Moving our family to Arizona was such a huge life transition, and they made the entire process feel smooth, organized, and stress-free. They sold our home with incredible speed, excellence, and genuine care every step of the way. Their knowledge and expertise were truly impressive they always had the answers, guided us with confidence, and made sure we understood every part of the process. They were extremely organized, communicative, and always one step ahead, which gave us so much peace of mind during a very emotional move. What stood out the most was how much they genuinely cared about our family and our experience. We are so grateful for everything they did to help us begin this next chapter in Arizona. If you’re looking for realtors who are professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and truly care about their clients, look no further!

Fantastic experience: They are the best team anyone could ask for. They are so attentive and great to work with. Not only did they communicate so well they answered any questions that we had and made us feel comfortable along the way. Would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

Fantastic experience: They took the time to explain every step of the home-buying process, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and made sure we felt confident in every decision. Their combined experience truly shows they complement each other perfectly and bring a well-rounded approach that made the entire transaction smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was their attention to detail, and genuine care for us as clients. They weren’t just trying to close a deal they were focused on helping us find the right home. If you’re looking to buy in Illinois, I highly recommend this team. You won’t find more dedicated, knowledgeable, or hardworking realtors. As a team they don’t make home buying feel like a job.

Fantastic experience: We loved working with Nick and Nikki. We started our search in Wheaton and Winfield, but they helped us find the perfect home in West Chicago when we expanded our search. They were responsive, honest, and truly know the area. The entire process felt easy because we trusted them completely. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in the area.

Highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Fantastic experience: Nikki was a huge help finding our forever home during Covid!! She went above and beyond on trying her best to meet my standards as I am very picky. I was working with a realtor before her, but she wasn’t putting the effort in. I decided to make the switch and I am forever thankful that I switched realtors and found Nikki. She’s outstanding and super helpful with anything. I still ask her questions after 5 years of home ownership. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a property!

Fantastic experience: When I was looking for a rental, Nick went to bat for me when I was struggling to find a home for my family. He was knowledgeable about the area, was patient with the process and responded quickly with questions or concerns. He and his team were great!

Negative experience: Rude and nasty! Highly advise not to do business with.

Fantastic experience: Nick and Nikki made the experience as a first time homebuyer extremely smooth. They were very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the entire process, especially with a quick closing. It was a pleasure to work with them.

Fantastic experience: Nikki was great throughout our home search. She has an incredible eye for understanding what we were looking for—even when we didn’t know how to articulate it ourselves. She showed us a wide range of homes and was always enthusiastic, responsive, and patient as we figured out what felt like “the one.” Her work ethic is unmatched—she made sure we never missed a listing that might be a good fit and was constantly on the lookout for places that matched our evolving tastes. Thanks to her, we found a home we love. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Nikki and Nick were amazing to work with! They let us take our time and explore different options all while educating and guiding us along the way. They were incredibly responsive any time we had questions or concerns and we felt well supported with every decision we made throughout the process. They are incredibly knowledgable, quick, and attentive to details. During home visits, they were super observant - pointing out potential issues that we hadn’t seen - they truly had our best interests in mind and we could feel that. Nick and Nikki always made sure we felt comfortable and confident in our decisions, never pressuring us. Buying a home can be incredibly stressful but Nick and Nikki were able to make the process fun and easy, and I cannot recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: Not enough could be said for how great Nick & Nikki are to work with. They really went the extra mile to get my house listed and marketed so well that it sold at asking price with multiple offers in a week! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Fantastic experience: Nick is such a wonderful person to work with! He and Nikki have been nothing but supportive, kind and flexible. They helped to sell my first house and also find my new home. I would not have been able to get through the stressful process without their encouragement and positive energy! I highly recommend to reach out to Nick and Nikki to help you navigate through your next home purchase.

Fantastic experience: We had an amazing experience working with Nick! My husband is very picky when it comes to finding the perfect home and Nick was so patient understanding and dedicated throughout the entire process. He listened to our needs was always available to answer questions and help us find the ideal place we couldn’t be happier with our new home and we’re so grateful for Nick‘s expertise!!!

Fantastic experience: As first-time and long distance homebuyers, we were incredibly lucky to work with Nick. Nick and Nikki were more than just realtors; they helped us learn! They patiently guided us through the process, teaching us what to look for and ensuring we were well-informed every step of the way. They were beyond trustworthy and they consistently went above and beyond! They highlighted red flags in homes that I would have missed! This helped build our trust. We especially appreciated their excellent educational resources and frequent, informative updates. Nick made sure the property was ready for us given our cross country move! We felt supported long after closing and appreciated their extensive network. They checked in frequently and shared genuine excitement. Can't wait to buy our next home from them!

Fantastic experience: From start to finish, Nick and the Malatesta Team exceeded our expectations. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable in selling our home. The advertising was professional and effective, and they were always prompt in responding to our inquiries. Their dedication and commitment to their clients are truly commendable. We are so grateful for their hard work! We would absolutely recommend Nick and his Team!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t ask for a more knowledgeable and personable individual when shopping for a home. Nick takes the time to go above and beyond, answered any questions no matter how small they may have seemed. He also has a vision to help reimagine spaces / layouts to help make a home what you are looking for. No pressure experience, the way it should be!

Fantastic experience: Nick and his amazing wife Nikki make the best real estate team in Chicagoland. As their client, I was thrilled to have two passionate people working towards my goals. Nick & Nikki accomplished what felt like the impossible - finding a Chicago condo that met all my requirements in what felt like an unrealistic time frame. All of my stress has melted away and I couldn’t be happier to close on my new condo tomorrow. Thank you for double the help and support Nick & Nikki!!!

Fantastic experience: Working with Nikki was great...she puts her clients first. We had an unusual situation with the seller and we made it work...Always great to work as a team! Highly recommend Nikkis' services!

Fantastic experience: Nikki was so awesome. I had to handle the whole process of selling our home while my husband was in and out of rehab and she definitely made the process smoother. From helping me figure out how much to ask to assisting me with cleaning up our yard to helping me find the perfect home for us. I could not have asked for a better experience

Fantastic experience: Nikki is amazing to work with! I highly reccommend her for any of your buying or selling needs!

Fantastic experience: We hired Nikki to sell property after my mother-in-law passed away. She was very hands on working with us in getting the property ready to sell. She was always professional and we trusted her completely, especially with suggestions to improve the house. Overall, she was amazing to work with and we would recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Nikki was a fantastic realtor and would recommend her to anyone ! She was so friendly and helpful. She answered all of our many questions at all hours of the day and was always honest with her answers and helpful. We were new to home buying so she was very upfront and she walked us through the process every step of the way ! I would highly highly recommend her and will be using her in the future if need be.

Fantastic experience: Nick's is incredibly responsive and always available to address any questions or concerns which has made the home buying process seamless for my clients. One of the best parts of working with Nick is that he works alongside his wife Nikki (I know, perfect names lol) forming the perfect package deal. Having two realtors on one team has proven to be invaluable, as they bring complementary skills and perspectives to the table, ensuring an efficient approach. I highly recommend Nick to anyone seeking a reliable, supportive, and personable realtor. Looking forwarding to teaming up again soon!

Fantastic experience: I have known Nick for almost 20 years. He has been so helpful with knowing how to prepare some of the investment homes ive sold over the past few years, as well as been a solid resource for any of my friends that ive referred his way. I always know my friends will be taken care of and will always recommend Nick & Nikki to help my friends and family when they need a local real estate expert. They have helped me successfully sell 2 homes in Lombard, IL and connected me with awesome realtor referrals for my out of state purchases. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I live out of state but had family moving to the Chicago suburbs. Luckily enough, I connected with Nick and he was able to successfully get my family members into their dream home! Thank you for helping them and for taking good care of them. Hope to connect with you when I am in Chicago next. Nick was fast with communications and always answered any questions I had for him. He was patient with me and my family and was always respectable with what I wanted.

Fantastic experience: Nick and Nikki helped us sell our home in Glen Ellyn and purchase our forever home in Lisle. The process was smooth and they helped us to juggle the task of buying and selling a home at the same time. They have awesome recommendations for all vendors needed involving buying a home, selling a home, and owning a home in general! Have recommended them to many friends and family and will continue to. Thank you for all of your help throughout the process!

Fantastic experience: Nick was great to work with. Super responsive and has a ton of knowledge on the Chicagoland real estate market.

Fantastic experience: Nikki helped me buy my first home. She was so patient and willing to show us every single house we were interested in, and there was a lot. She never lost her motivation and was thorough in every house we saw until we found the perfect one for our specific needs. I recommend her to all my friends and family and will help me with all of my future home buying/selling needs!

Fantastic experience: Nick and Nikki have helped me buy 2 homes and sell 1 home. Each time, they have went above and beyond and made sure we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. They facilitated the process of buying and selling simultaneously and made it so we didn’t have to worry about anything. From our first home in Glen Ellyn, to our forever home in Lisle- thank you guys so much for everything you’ve done to help us. From the first home to beyond closing- I know you’re always here if we need you! They are the best realtors around and I will always recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Fantastic experience: Nick is awesome to work with! He’s super helpful and always makes sure to look out for your best interest. He made the entire process of all this a breeze! Quick and painless to say the least. Being a first time home buyer I am beyond thankful that I made the choice I did using Nick. The amount of money I saved from both Nick and Nikki looking out for me and speaking up I couldn’t be more thankful for. You both are the best and I appreciate all the help and guidance through the entire process!

Fantastic experience: Nick is a great communicator and responds quickly to you. He is very professional and answered all my questions. Nick knows the area and market well. He was wonderful in guiding me thru the real estate process. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Nikki has been great every step of the way. We’re out of state buyers and she went above and beyond to be our eyes when we were unable to. She’s given us great insight and direction while navigating this out of state move. We appreciate everything she’s done. 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: I recently referred friends and clients to Nikki and she was the perfect choice! They were able to secure a home the first weekend they were looking. She was speedy yet through (a must sixne they had to uproot their lives on a whim for a job promotion). Her communication was top notch, and she was a joy all around. Highly recommend her for your real estate needs or as a trusted referral agent for Realtors looking for a referral.

Fantastic experience: Awesome realtor! Very patient and finds exactly what you’re looking for. I will recommend her for any and all of my real estate needs. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: My house was a difficult sell, but Nikki got the job done! She was a great help in getting me through the process.

Fantastic experience: Nikki is a knowledgeable, Creative and Hard Working Realtor. We've purchased and sold homes w Nikki and would recommend her 150%. She will Definitely be an asset on your team whether you are buying or selling a home.

Fantastic experience: If you want someone that will just go through the motions of showing you houses, then do not pick Nikki. If you want someone that will guide you through the process, giving you her honest and very educated opinions then definitely choose Nikki. She is more than a realtor, she becomes a friend, helping you make the best decisions for you and your family. Not afraid to sugar coat if something is not up to snuff, and will fight for what you deserve! I wish I could go through the process again, and will 100% go with her again! Tha ks for your expertise Nicole!

Fantastic experience: Nikki is the best! She’s incredibly thorough in our search of our forever home! My fiancé and I feel we’re in the best hands with Nikki, she continues to deliver plenty of options for us to review. Nikki listens to us and values our opinions, she has an incredible amount of patience! The knowledge that Nikki shares with us is priceless and we are so thankful to have her with our home buying experience!

Fantastic experience: Nikki was an amazing realtor. My husband and I were first time home buyers and she navigated us through the entire process from start to finish. In choosing a home she was extremely patient and flexible. She never rushed or pushed us on a property and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in a home. She helped to teach us important things to look for in a property during our search. When we did choose our house, she guided us every step of the way through the loan process, offers, inspections, and closing. She is extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we were getting everything we wanted and needed. I would definitely recommend Nikki as a realtor to anyone I know looking to buy/sell. If we do ever decide to sell/move, I know we will definitely be using her again, but for now we are very happy in our home.

Fantastic experience: although the time wasn’t right for me to buy, Nikki had extensive knowledge of DuPage County but more specifically the Wheaton & Glen Ellyn housing market. She was able to answer any questions I had and was readily available. When the time does come, there’s no one else I would use to buy & sell my current home. A+++

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Nikki!

Fantastic experience: As first time home buyers my husband and I were a little intimidated and unsure of the steps we needed to take. Nikki was absolutely incredible in explaining every steps, giving us advice, and making sure we feel comfortable with our decisions. She always went above a beyond to advocate for us. She is an expert in her field, I highly recommend her to all my family and friends who are thinking about buying a home.

Fantastic experience: I recently referred a seller to Nikki who was having a difficult time finding a home in this competitive market with her previous realtor. Nikki came onboard and was able to win the deal for the client in a multiple offer situation. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Referral partners that I can depend upon are super important for a GREAT client experience. When I have folks heading to the Naperville, IL area, I reach out to Nikki. She will be sure to give them the knowledgeable, and professional care they deserve. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I'd highly recommend Nikki Malatesta if you are looking for a Realtor in Oak Brook, IL. If you are thinking about buying or selling a home in Oak Brook, IL, definitely give Nikki a call!

Fantastic experience: We bought our forever home in 2021 with Nikki's help. It was a difficult process but she did everything she could to get us the home of our dreams. We are wildly in love with the home we ended up with and have her to thank for it!

Fantastic experience: I reached out to Nikki based on her experience and reputation as a professional, and was not disappointed. Her expertise on staging our previous house made it look amazing, and her advice on timing the sale made sure there was lots of demand. She spent a lot of time with us, helping to figure out what we really wanted in a new house, and worked with us to find that in an area that worked for us. I don't expect to need a new house again, but if I do, There's only one person I'll ask for help

Fantastic experience: Nikki is truly amazing. I was very impressed with all of her knowledge every step of the way She provided data for us to sell with confidence and to make intelligent offers to buy. My husband and I were very set on staying in a very small radius to our office, but she rose to the challenge and offered dozens of beautiful options right in our price range. Whenever i had a random question she would instantly responded to my text with the answer or if she missed my call she would call back in minutes. Her knowledge of timing of when our house should go on the market, pricing and staging made it so we had 14 offers all above asking in 36 hours. Her guidance during purchasing meant that she saved us from putting in offers on houses with faulty features that we wouldn't have noticed. We're so happy with the new home we're in now! I will definitely be using her again and will be recommending her to all of my friends. Thank you Nikki for making my dream home a reality.

Fantastic experience: I am thrilled to leave a 5 star review for the realtor who helped my wife and I find our first, and forever, home. We were house shopping early in 2021 when the market was insane and Nikki was so quick to respond with any questions (we had a lot of questions) or new listings that met our wish list. She was honest about her favorite parts of each home, and even about the parts she didn't like. Nikki had recommendations for loan providers and inspectors. She was smart and persuasive when we offered on homes, and always timely. The market was so competitive that it was hard not to feel discouraged after offering on multiple homes (with anywhere from 12-20 offers each), but she always reassured us and knew something even better was waiting. When we found the home we currently have, I think we all had a feeling. Nikki knew how to leverage our offer to make it desirable to the sellers, and we finally got our dream home. It's been 2.5 years in our home already, and we love it more every day. Couldn't have done it without her expertise, dedication, professionalism, and kindness. We feel really grateful to have had her as our realtor, and we even recommended her to our best friend when she was recently searching for her own forever home (she got hers too!). If you work with Nikki you certainly won't regret it. Be ready for your dream home to come to fruition!

Fantastic experience: Nikki helped my husband and I find our first AND second house! She was so helpful, kind and patient with us. We told her what we were looking for and some specifics and she was able to find exactly that! Our first house was the perfect starter home and we never would have found it if it wasn’t for Nikki :) We were nervous first time buyers who didn’t understand anything about buying a home and Nikki answered all of our questions (we had a lot) and was honest with us about everything. She even helped us find a lender and translate their business language into ours so that we understood everything we needed! Nikki always made time for us and our weird schedules to look at tons of houses until we found the ones we loved. When it came to our second house, she helped us buy and sell and coordinated everything so smoothly. She helped make our move so much simpler. When we do eventually move again, we will 100% go back to her. I cannot imagine going through that process with anyone but her and will always recommend her to everyone I know! Thank you Nikki

Fantastic experience: Nikki Malatesta has helped me buy three homes and sell two homes. She found perfect homes for me each time. Each purchase was to my liking and in the price range I wanted to stay in. Each sell sold immediately. Nikki is very knowledgeable about the housing market and what would make the home more enticing to the new buyers. Very happy with Nikki Malatesta as my agent. I would recommend her over and over. Thank you, Nikki.

Fantastic experience: Nikki was so incredibly helpful when buying my new house recently. Home-buying is not easy but Nikki made it effortless. She was always available to show me houses and would keep in touch with houses that came on the market. I hope to never move again but if I do I’ll be using Nikki again!

Fantastic experience: Bought my first house with Nikki in 2017 after a long search for the right one. She was always on the hunt for me , communication was great, she never stopped until we found one that checked all the boxes. Love my house and wouldn’t use anyone else to buy a house with!

Fantastic experience: Nikki was knowledgeable of what homes were available in many locations which was helpful as I had a wide range of places I’d like to buy a house in. She was also patient and dedicated many weekend afternoons to showing me houses and was always available to talk about any questions I had. Finally, she came to check out a house again and gave me ideas to consider when looking at what became the house I eventually purchased. She was great at negotiating what would end up being a difficult deal due to the sellers side of things. She kept the whole experience fun, stress free, and educational. She taught me a lot through the process and I will absolutely be using her again next time I go to buy or sell! Thanks Nikki!

Fantastic experience: Nikki was incredibly helpful through the entire home buying process. She takes the time to learn about you and what you’re looking for and brings plenty of great suggestions! She was always available for a showing which was super helpful when the market was hot! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Nikki is the best! As I first time homebuyer I couldn’t ask for a more patient and knowledgeable realtor. She really took her time explaining everything to me until I completely understood every step of the process. She was always available to take my call or to take us out looking and made this stressful process fun and easy! I recommend Nikki to anyone looking to buy or sell and will use her for all of my future home buying/selling needs!
