Nova and I have been friends for over a decade and when I needed help selling my house, he was my first call. My house was heading into foreclosure and with the market value being so high, I wanted to maximize my take away from the property. Nova helped me with renovations to get it ready for sale. He knew just how to "put lipstick on the pig." Nova knew what to fix in the house to maximize my profits. He was knowledgeable and kept me informed during the entire process. I cannot thank Nova enough for helping me get a fantastic return on what could have been a total loss.

Nova Shank gets 5 stars! Extra starts for always giving his work that extra effort! Selling or buying a house is said to be one of the most stressful times in ones life, especially when selling a unique property and there are glitches of every conceivable variety. When this happens, you want to have someone who is on the ball, knows the job well, and has the tenacity to get the job done, no matter what it takes. Nova Shank is that someone -- and more! He knows the real estate territory well, both for the seller and for the buyer. He gives good advice and guidance with the understanding that his clients are in unfamiliar territory and often overwhelmed while also excited and perhaps somewhat frightened. He is knowledgeable and reassuring. And he has an eye for staging a home to present it well for the best possible sale. Trust Nova to do a good job for you!

Nova took what seemed impossible and made it possible. It was a difficult situation that Nova walked into. Had an agent prior to Nova who had made a huge mess of things with the HOA and created a great divide in the community, cost me months of listing time, and practically no marketing was done. I was at wits end when Nova came on board, and thought the prospect of selling the home was beyond reach. Nova was able to get issues resolved, worked with the HOA and got them back on track. He was very professional, stayed with the process, did a great job of marketing and the house is now sold. Very thankful to have had him on this sale. Nova knows his stuff. Highly recommend him.

Nova has helped us buy two investment properties during the past six years. We learned early on that he was an expert in his field, thorough, knowledgeable, attentive, and, above all, honest. We have experienced all of these qualities during numerous property searches. Our relationship with Nova continued well after the deals have closed, and we genuinely appreciate his willingness to provide meaningful advice after the transactions have concluded. Beyond our professional relationship, Nova has become a valued friend.

His honesty, integrity and hard work enabled me to sell a house that most other realtors would not have even tried!!! I was between a rock and a hard place, two mortgages, behind on both, banks would not work with me at all. Nova took over and within two months my house was sold, and I have money in the bank and a future. Thank You Nova!!!

Nova helped my husband and me find a home in the crazy Greater Seattle real estate market! He was so easy to work with. We really appreciated his responsive communication, industry expertise, and patience. Houses move quickly in this area, but Nova both took the time to get to know my family and also knew when to light a fire under our bums to get moving in a competitive market. Nova goes above and beyond--taking care of us not just during the buying process but even now at tax season, when we have newbie questions about home ownership! His guidance is always spot on. We are so lucky that Nova has our backs. (I'm sure he even knows the best person to go to for back hair removal!)

Nova was the key reason for the sale of my house. I have never seen such a marketing expert that clearly knows his stuff so well. My house was a challenge due to its age and lay-out... not a problem for Nova! Whatever challenges came up (and they did come up), he was able to resolve and clarify with the right solution and timely fix. I would highly recommend this guy, he was professional, fun to work with and engaged in the process. He was also protective of our ideals and home whilst maintaining good composure. It is rare to have a guy like Nova on your side. His time was made readily available any time we needed a hand or advice. He wasn't shy about giving his time or advice and it was always spot on. Our house sold because his ability to show the homes truly great characteristics. Realtors should look to Nova's workmanship as an example of how to properly sell a home.

Nova was a pleasure to work with. His responsiveness and knowledge of real estate really shined through. We took a break off from looking at condominiums but he was right there when we needed him. We were fortunate enough to find a beautiful condo in an area of our liking and his expertise helped us land a deal we are so fortunate for. Thank you again Nova!
