Hear From My Clients
"The house I was selling was an absolute nightmare... It went under contract twice but was released during the inspection period. Nikki came up with a brilliant plan to drastically reduce the price, which generated over 40 showings in 3 days and several competing offers. We were able to sell as-is and quickly... Her knowledge of the local market, coupled with her amazing network of contractors and negotiating expertise, is unmatched."
"I've worked with Nikki over the past 7 years for purchasing 2 homes and selling one home. I went back to her because she is simply the best: reliable, trustworthy, dedicated, responsive, and knowledgeable. Nikki was very mature and flexible when it came to tough conversations and never pushed or pressured my decision in any way. We also loved that she knew both Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky."
"When you make or sell the biggest purchase of your life, you need to work with the best of the best... Nikki walked us through every step, was in constant communication, and we left every conversation feeling better. From digital campaigns, flyers, and open houses, they were creative in their marketing. I was really impressed and walked away with a healthy offer. Whenever I hear a friend is starting to look, I instantly tell them you must work with Nikki!"
"Nikki Hayden and the Herr Team are literally the top 5% of realtors in Greater Cincinnati... I had some ridiculously tough challenges with my house... Nikki came at everything with such a positive attitude and always had a solution in the works before ever coming to me. Her timeliness was impeccable, considering I had to relocate for work in less than 2 months. They provided professional photos, full booklets on tables, social media posts... I would never recommend anyone else in Cincinnati."

Common Questions
How do you determine the right listing price?
I conduct a comprehensive market analysis reviewing recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, current market conditions, and your home's unique features. My pricing strategy is designed to attract serious buyers while maximizing your return—my sellers average 102% of list price.
What makes your marketing different?
Every listing receives professional photography, drone footage, virtual tours, and targeted digital advertising across multiple platforms. I also leverage my extensive network of buyers and agents, plus 25+ years of sales experience to position your home strategically in the market.
How long does it typically take to sell?
My listings sell in an average of 13 days—significantly faster than the market average of 28+ days. With strategic pricing and professional marketing, many of my sellers receive multiple offers within the first week.
Do I need to stage my home?
While not always required, staging can significantly impact sale price and speed. I provide expert staging consultation to help you present your home in the best light. Professional staging often results in offers 5-20% higher than unstaged homes.
What are your fees?
I'm happy to discuss my commission structure during our initial consultation. My focus is on delivering exceptional value, getting you top dollar while providing white-glove service throughout the process. Most sellers find that the premium results more than justify the investment.
What if my home doesn't sell right away?
With my proven marketing strategy and accurate pricing, this is rarely an issue. However, if needed, I'll reassess the market, adjust our strategy, and work with you until we achieve the sale. You'll have my full support and direct access throughout the entire process.
