We got connected to Nicole in January of 2025 with the hope of relocating from Silicon Valley to somewhere in the Monterey Bay coastal area. With a huge variety of places to explore and investigate, Nicole was the perfect guide helping us to narrow down our extremely broad ideas (coastal bungalow to mountain ranch, and everything in between). Buying a new home can be a rough process, and Nicole was the perfect "even keel" to our stormy ocean of emotions. She helped us see the reality of our dreams regarding the market at that time without ever negatively impacting those dreams. After 5 months working together Nicole negotiated a deal on our ideal property - and almost a year later is still helping us integrate into the community. From simple handyman types to licensed tradespeople, all of her suggestions have been top notch. We highly recommend you work with Nicole to find your new home!

Always fantastic. Nicole has helped our family so much in the last 5 years and we appreciate her greatly. She held our hands through every process, from buying our first home, to her helping me sell my mother's home that had recently passed and making that process so much easier, and also from selling our first home just last year. My husband and I don't 'speak' real estate, so Nicole's help was imperative and she has really made it so we did not have to struggle or worry with decisions and all the necessities involved in selling and purchasing properties. We honestly loved working with her so much that we are debating finding a summer home near where we used to live, so she can help us find it! :) She's the best.

Nicole was very attentive, helpful and a total go-getter! She was ready to roll up her sleeves and dive in with us in preparing the house for the sale. She made selling easy and stress free. We appreciated her straight forward style and she was very easy to communicate with.

Nicole was great to work with. She is both personable and professional at the same time. She was able to understand our goals in selling our home and was easy going and enjoyable to communicate with. She helped us achieve the goal we had in selling our home easily. A great experience.

Working with Nicole was a fantastic experience! She was very responsive, willing to work around our schedule, and provided helpful expertise as it came to navigating the home buying experience. Additionally, she provided helpful insight into the area we were looking at buying, was able to establish great relationships with selling agents, and was patient as we found the home we loved! Cannot recommend her enough!

Nicole Wood was great in helping me sell my townhouse! Her experience showed throughout this process where she kept my spirits up during the ups and downs. Her dedication and persistence showed too. Besides being great for me in this sale, I was really impressed how even after the close she was a professional making sure the buyer was also happy and all of their questions or concerns were answered as well. She really cares and I highly recommend her!

Nicole has been patient and supportive throughout this process. She took the time to really get to know us and to understand our preferences . It always felt like she was working very hard for us and is extrememly knowledgeable. Nicole also has lots of great contacts who can help get things done. This is the second home she has helped us purchase!

I just sold my home in Capitola through Nicole Wood from David Lyng Real Estate.  She made what could have been a stressful and difficult process as seamless as it could be. Nicole really listened, and cared passionately about her job and her calming manner worked wonders for me.  She helped me buy another home at the same time as my sale and somehow managed both transactions. I was pretty scared through the whole process!She actually had to calm me more than anyone else, because there were some property lot line adjustments going back about 80 years which had to be clarified with the title company, lender and buyer.With Nicole's tenacity and 'never give up' attitude, both homes closed, and everyone was very happy too.If you want to find a realtor that really cares and works like heck for you, she's the one to talk with.Thank you Nicole!.....

Nicole Wood was an outstanding Realtor, reachable at all hours of the day, with endless patience to show me multiple properties, very realistic in terms of location, pros/cons, and always a soundboard to bounce ideas back and forth. She talked me off a cliff multiple times and has a wonderful personality. If and when the opportunity re-presents itself, I will use her as my Realtor again.

Working with Nicole for the 2nd time was a seamless non stress experience. She keeps her clients needs in mind and will stand up for you when situations arise. Don’t hesitate to work with her on your next transaction.
