Helped me buy home and manage my home

I had the pleasure of working with Eva for my first Airbnb rental property in Seattle. They are a full service team, from property sales to short term property management. Extremely professional and knowledgeable of the local Seattle market, with flawless PM operations. Nicasa helped me purchase my property November of last year, and is currently operating/managing the property as Airbnb. After almost one year of operation, my Airbnb has a perfect 5 star rating with ~70 guest reviews, and has generated double digit cash on cash returns that are much higher than LTRs. Highly recommended, if you are interested in the WA market, give Sid and Eva a call (And Sid is a great tour guide, he can even hook you up on a visit to the Sphere!)

If you ever need a real estate investment for buying a short term rental in the Seattle area, I would highly recommend Eva and Sid. I have been working with them for over a year and I couldn't be more happy with their services. Here are just few callouts from my experiences:They are your one stop solution for any needs including finding the perfect rental properties (Eva is a licensed real estate agent), furnishing the house, and handling daily airbnb operations. They are great with interior design and will make your properties aesthetically stand out among all other listings on airbnb.They are super on top of everything, extremely responsive, considerate, knowledgeable and responsible. They're always just one text msg or phone call away. When things need to be addressed or fixed in my property, they will provide different solutions and prompt fix; and their quote is always reasonable and transparent.With my STR property, they handle all the communications and daily operations, and provide me with a monthly statement. They closely monitor and constantly adjust all of their listings to make sure both occupancy rate and price are at optimization. With their hard work and dedication, my STR property is generating positive cash flow and it is one of my best investments.Eva and Sid are a smart and diligent couple, who will happily share their knowledge and expertise to help their clients to succeed.

Helped me buy home

I chose to work with Eva after working with multiple real estate agents to buy my first investment. From the get go, Eva's approach to purchasing investments was different from the other agents.
She was very data driven on the returns of each home, and advise me on the attractiveness of the investment. What stood apart was how it did not feel like she was simply working to sell a home to get a commision. Eva would reject a lot of the homes we toured, and would explain in a data driven manner on her rationale: whether it be a home with poor parking situation, lack of sunlight, street noise or something else. She would even let me know how much each of these factors would detrimentally impact my value compared to comps. She held the bar high, and I could definitely feel that she was acting in my best interests.

We ended up spending 3+ months to find the right investment. All the while Eva was very patient, and made sure to give me perspective so we made a disciplined offer. We finally were able to secure an amazing investment in Central district, which we will convert to an Airbnb after I live for a couple of years in it.
