Nick Rota at Live West Realty

Fantastic experience: I’d highly recommend Nick to anyone. When our landlord announced they were selling our building one Saturday morning, I reached out to Nick right away. I already knew him socially because our kids were on the same soccer team, which gave me the chance to get to know him as a person, and I was confident he would handle the process with the same level of organization, honesty, and clear communication. I’m an immigrant, and homeownership had always felt out of reach, but Nick opened my eyes to different options and guided me through the process in a way that felt clear and manageable. Staying in the area where my child goes to school was a must, and Nick made that possible. This was our first home, and we closed in just five weeks. Nick is an excellent communicator and extremely responsive. The entire process, albeit stressful at times, felt surprisingly easy. I always felt like he was on my side during negotiations and could ask him any “stupid” question I had. As an added bonus, he connected me with a great network of professionals. He handled everything with integrity—that’s the one word I’d use to describe Nick.

Negative experience: Absolute terrible experience with this realtor.

We truly appreciate how you attended to every single detail and your genuine care. We are absolutely satisfied with the results and we can’t wait to work with you again!”

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Nick as our realtor. Our situation was unique. We were out of state and had listed our home for sale. We wanted to see if we could find a new home with a closing that was very close to the close of our out-of-state house. Nick jumped on it right away and identified a unique property that completely met our needs. The timing was just right if we could move quickly. So we made the commitment based on a zoom call during which we toured the house and property. It was a home run for us thanks to Nick.

Fantastic experience: Nick Rota was the most help real estate agent I have dealt with. He helped me with the sale of a property in so many ways. Coaching some upgrades prior to sale, deciding best time to list, helping with his own army of contractors and resources. I am so grateful for his expertise, his constant availability and quick response times. This guy knows the market better than anyone I’ve encountered. I am extremely impressed and cannot recommend him enough. He always picked up and had great rapport with the other local agents. Clearly he is well respected by his peers and this turned out to be an unexpected value add of working with him. He was able to speak very reasonably with other agents making the whole process extremely smooth. Nick’s advice made this way easier and less emotional for everyone involved including contractors. He has a very thoughtful process and can talk you through many options with their predicted outcomes. He has a lot of credibility with me after watching so many of his ideas and strategies play out how he predicted. He’s super personable, if you are considering him as an agent, reach out and talk to him directly and you’ll see what I mean.

He was so response, kind, relatable, and understanding of our needs and wants. He completely outshined the last relator we worked with, and he helped to sell our house and find us our dream home in a little under 2 months. What a whirlwind it was, but we couldn't have done it without him. Highly recommend and honestly can't speak highly enough of Nick. We already miss working with him!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Nick represented our family both buying and selling homes. We faced a considerable challenge when the dishwasher broke and flooded the home we were buying a week before close. Nick navigated the situation to develop an amicable resolution and close successfully. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. He listened to our needs and wants, was patient during the search, and his experience showed in leading us through the entire process.

Fantastic experience: I had expressed a desire for a quick sale and Nick was on top of everything from the beginning and delivered on the ask.

Fantastic experience: Update 2022-2023! We had the pleasure to work with Nick on another home buying experience. We had lived in our Park Hill home, which Nick helped us acquire 4 years prior (the below review). We had been keeping an eye on our local market and were looking to upgrade SQF move to Central Park in Denver. This was at an uncertain time in the real estate market with changing home prices and interest rates. We had complete confidence in Nick given our previous experience working with him. Nick continues to be a true professional and expert in his field. He understands the market landscape and has the ability to communicate effectively. I implicitly trust his judgement. Nick helped us sell our existing home at a full-price offer while expertly negotiating the purchase of our new home at below appraisal value! We never thought this could be done in the competitive and dynamic Denver home market, however, Nick didn't fail to meet the challenge! We love our new home and couldn't be more please with Nick's dedication, expertise, and pleasant nature. I highly recommend Nick to help you sell or purchase a home. Nick is truly a master of his profession. It was simply a pleasure to work with him. We were referred to Nick by a friend, who had great things to say about their experience working with him. As first time home buyers we were nervous and excited about finding a home in Denver. From the start it was obvious Nick had a great feel for the market in Denver and was able to find us homes to see very quickly. Our home buying experience was at times very challenging. Nick never wavered and kept us focused and helped us feel less frustrated. I trust Nick's instincts. I would often ask him "what does your gut tell you about this?" He was always dead-on with his assessment of the situation. This was a reflection of his knowledge and understanding of his field. We ended up getting the exact home we were looking for and it feels incredible to be living here now. We could not have done it without Nick's professionalism, positive attitude, experience, and character. I would highly recommend Nick to help you find your new home.

I would recommend Nick to anyone buying a house espeically first time home buyers.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had a five-star experience with Nick as our buying and selling agent. One of the first things I noticed about Nick is how quick he is to respond—it's obvious he makes his clients a priority, and he's readily available to answer questions or offer advice. Personable, professional and always two steps ahead, Nick is a great agent to work with.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Nick and his team last year to find a new home that met all of our top criteria. 6 months later we could not be happier with the outcome. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a Realtor in Denver and asked an old college friend, also a realtor, if he had any recommendations. He referred me to Nick Rota. I couldn't be happier with the results! Nick was patient with my requests and helped me to find the property I wanted in a short amount of time. I mean, I wasn't a very easy client. I was looking for an investment property that I could also live in. I didn't have very specific parameters on how much I could spend but I did have a desired "return" in mind. So, with his finance background, Nick was able to find me a property, in the neighborhood I wanted, that lent me a return of 9%!

Fantastic experience: Nick did a great job finding us everything we were looking for in a house! He took the time to get to know you, and what you were looking for in a home. I will definitely be recommending him to any friends or family moving to the area!!

You will enjoy working with Nick and spending time with him and he will absolutely get you into a home that you love!

Fantastic experience: Nick is in a league of his own when it comes to representing his client's interests in buying and/or selling a home. My wife and I worked with Nick to relocate our family of 6 back home to Denver from Seattle. Before we saw the first house together, Nick took time to get to know our family's interests and priorities and used that to inform his advice, home searches, and steps to close for the remainder of the process. Nick is extremely detailed and communicative which were essential characteristics to make this deal happen halfway across the country. He vetted dozens of homes on our behalf, offered thoughtful feedback, and helped guide us to the best decision possible. When it came time to extend an offer, Nick operated masterfully and negotiated aggressively on our behalf. In the end we felt very good with terms of the deal and are super excited about our new dream home! My wife and I are busy professionals and having Nick manage the process, watch our backs, and make this deal happen made all the difference. I cannot recommend Nick strongly enough!

Fantastic experience: We are 100% happy with Nick and his great information and help in purchasing our new home! Can't recommend him enough.

Fantastic experience: Nick was amazing throughout the whole process and I don't think we would've been able to get through the buying a home process without him. Nick is very well educated in what he does and is very friendly. He manages to work on your time and will do whatever it takes to get you the clear to close. I will definitely recommend him to others looking for a new home as well as work with him again in the near future!

Fantastic experience: Nick is as knowledgeable and professional as they come! He helped me purchase my first home and this wont be the last time we do business with him. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the market. Additionally, we knew nothing about purchasing a home and he walked us through every step and really looked out for what would be best for us. Thank you Nick!

Fantastic experience: Nick is professional, he pays attention to detail, and provides top notch customer service.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Nick since he started as a Realtor. Nick has been consulting me on my first home purchase which I am looking to make soon after I am married. To that end he has been consistently keeping me informed of what the market is doing, trends and hot listings. Nick is super personable, transparent, easy to work with and just a good guy. I would highly recommend any of my friends and family to Nick to help them buy or sell a home.

Fantastic experience: We are from San Diego and we contacted Nick to show us one of his listings. We immediately liked his style in that he was very helpful, kind and genuine, and not at all pushy. We asked Nick to show us other homes we liked and he did. Ultimately, we used Nick to purchase our condo in Louisville. Nick helped us through the process, negotiated a great deal for us, and we are extremely happy with his services. We absolutely will use Nick again and recommend him to family and friends.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been seriously contemplating a move to Colorado for some time now. Nick has been helpful giving me information about my home here in my current state, and he's ready to answer any questions I have. I have found his Colorado market updates by e-mail very helpful and professional. I've only heard good things about him, too. I look forward to working with him!

Fantastic experience: I had a pleasure of working Nick Rota and Four Star Realty as both buyer and seller. Nick is great at responding in very timely manner to any questions regarding the process. Nick and Four Star will have your back and be there even after the transaction is completed and will represent your interests. Would highly recommend!

In addition, he has a keen financial acumen that is a great benefit when making decisions as either a seller or buyer. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Nick is a pro! As a mortgage lender, I’ve had the pleasure to work with Nick on both the buying and selling side of real estate transactions. It is clear his clients receive the best representation and they respect his authentic approach. I appreciate his clear communication, knowledge, and thoughtfulness. I look forward to working with him again soon because I know it will be a great experience for all.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Nick as a Lender on many deals. He is professional and communicates very well. He treats his Clients' very well and is always working hard to make the home buying process as smooth as possible.

Fantastic experience: Nick Rota is very knowledgeable and is a great realtor. He is honest and always puts his clients first. Him and FourStar Realty have helped us through buying and selling 4 properties over the last 7 years. Most importantly, he helped us deal with an unreasonable buyer that kept trying to get money back despite all the documents and facts we provided before purchase. As for us, we will definitely continue to work with Nick and FourStar Realty for our future properties, whether selling or buying.

Negative experience: Having deal with Nick Rota as the seller's agent was terrible and dishonest. Nick and the sellers he represented did not disclose electrical burn issues. He would never respond either. I will be taking him to court.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Nick on two purchases over the last 9 months, which I would never have been able to do without his help and guidance. One was an investment property and the other is now a new primary residence. In both instances, Nick invested the time up front to understand my goals and objectives and was there to drive them. Nick knew exactly what I was looking for and when we found the properties he took decisive action to facilitate the purchase in this extremely hot and competitive market. He demonstrated to me he is very comfortable walking his clients through the process of purchasing a home and can help maneuver through all the required paperwork and negotiations. His knowledge and general pulse of the market provided me, first, an incredible resource, and, secondly, an advantage while purchasing both homes. There is no doubt Nick will be the first I call if I decide to purchase another property and I would strongly recommend anyone else to do the same! Thank you, Nick! Matt

Fantastic experience: Nick exceeded our expectations as a realtor.  We decided to work with Nick as he was extremely prepared for each of our meetings, was very detailed, had a command of the market we were selling in, and a sales strategy that was based on this knowledge. This led to a sale price far above our goal.  We would recommend Nick to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Boulder area.

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience buying our new home through Nick. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and generous with his time. He worked hard to help us find a home that met our exacting criteria and deftly navigated potential obstacles on our deal to keep things moving smoothly along. Even after the sale Nick went above and beyond to make things right that he could have easily punted on. He cares about his clients and their experience and works hard to make sure it's a good one.

Fantastic experience: Nick Rota was a tremendous help in selling our current home and finding a new one. He was completely organized and prepared, from the moment we discussed selling, through the closing of our new home. He was always available and patient with all of our questions, no matter how simple or complex. He truly cared about what was best for our family, instead of looking to close the first deal that came along. He discussed numerous possibilities, and let us be involved in the decision making process, when it came to selling our house. Nick also listened to every critique and concern that we had when looking at a replacement home, in order to find exactly what we wanted. His education and experience made it all easy for us. It was more like we were working with a friend, instead of an agent. If you are ready to sell or find the house of your dreams, give Nick a call!

Fantastic experience: I had an outstanding home-buying experience with Nick Rota as my realtor. My wife and I purchased a home in Idaho several years ago and we felt left in the dark throughout much of the process. We felt the exact opposite way this time around, working with Nick. We felt like our wants and needs were heard by Nick, and that he took a genuine interest in helping us find a wonderful home for our family. I was blown away at his attention to detail, his honestly and his knowledge of the home buying process. He made the very complicated process of buying a home easy and comfortable. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in a home and created and emailed a customized daily search with all of the homes on the MLS that fit our criteria. Through that search, we were able to find several homes that we wanted to see, and Nick quickly scheduled showings for us, so that we could see the homes we liked, before they flew off of the (hot) market. Not only did he help us see a couple of dozen homes, he provided great detail about the pros and cons of each home, including information on neighborhood schools, flood zones, and several other factors that enabled us to make more educated decisions. He also provided us with great references for home insurance, flood insurance and mortgage providers. I was blown away at Nick's attention to detail, stellar communication and professionalism. I would highly recommend Nick Rota from Four Star Realty to anyone who is looking to buy a home in the greater Denver area!
