About Tava Nicholson
You want to know the real person behind the title and how they will genuinely help you find the perfect home! So, instead of listing awards and accomplishments you don’t care about, I will answer the questions that matter to you. This process isn’t merely transactional; it’s a significant life experience, and I’m honored to be part of YOUR journey!
Will You Return My Calls and Emails?
Absolutely. I understand that one of the biggest frustrations with agents is communication. With dozens of calls, texts, and emails flooding in daily, I prioritize responding to you as quickly as possible.
I've Met Realtors Who Are Obnoxious and Only Care About Making a Commission. Are You The Same?
That depends on who you ask! Some agents may say, “yes” if their interests clash with my clients’ goals. Here’s what you can expect from me: I’m honest, approachable, and spirited—your Midwestern friend with a sassy side. My loyalty lies with my family, friends, and clients. Yes, I aim to earn a commission, but finding the right deal for YOU means more to me than just the paycheck.
What Kind of Transactions Do you Normally Handle?
I cater to a broad spectrum of clients, including:
- First-time homebuyers and sellers
- Relocations
- Distressed properties
- Essentially anything related to real estate
What Skills Make You a Good Realtor?
- Active listening to grasp clients’ needs and motivations
- Education through the whole process
- Syndicated multifamily properties for investors
- Extensive experience in custom home building
- Years of experience in corporate sales
- Proficient in flipping homes from the investor’s perspective and analyzing Cap Rates
- Strong contract negotiation skills
- Building rapport with other agents for smoother transactions
- A knack for assembling the pieces of your real estate puzzle, ensuring your process is streamlined and stress-free as possible
I’m here to support you every step of the way!
Why I Do What I Do
Everyone deserves honest guidance, especially in a market as competitive and confusing as Colorado Springs. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property, relocating, or yes, even searching for a rental, I want you to feel like someone’s truly looking out for you.
Over the years, I’ve heard so many clients say they just wanted someone calm, clear, and responsive. That’s who I try to be. From our first conversation to the day you get the keys, my goal is to make you feel informed, empowered, and taken care of.
A Team You Can Trust
My secret weapon? My husband, Chad Nicholson, is an experienced Mortgage Broker who works closely with many of my clients. Together, we create a seamless experience for buyers—from getting pre-approved to handing over the keys.
