Working with Carrie King of NextHome Kingdom was an absolute game-changer in our home buying experience.

From our very first conversation, Carrie made us feel supported, understood, and genuinely prioritized. Her warmth, expertise, and unwavering professionalism stood out immediately—and never wavered through the entire process. Carrie took the time to really listen to what we were looking for, and then went above and beyond to deliver. She has an exceptional knowledge of the local market and offered honest, strategic advice at every turn. Her attention to detail was unmatched—whether it was catching fine print in contracts, anticipating potential hurdles, or offering thoughtful insight during showings, she was always ten steps ahead. One of the most remarkable things about Carrie is how committed she is to her clients. She was always available, quick to respond, and truly acted as our advocate from start to finish. Every step of the way, she was calm, confident, and solutions-focused, which made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and even enjoyable. Carrie isn’t just a buyer’s agent—she’s a partner, a guide, and someone who genuinely cares. Thanks to her, we found not just a house, but the right home for us. Even after closing, she stayed in touch to ensure we were settling in and still had everything we needed. If you’re buying a home or selling your property, you want Carrie King in your corner. Her integrity, knowledge, and heart are exactly what you want in a real estate professional. We truly can’t recommend her and NextHome Kingdom highly enough.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my realtor, Nancy Messemer!

This was far from a stress-free process—there were hurdles that delayed closing by weeks, and I kept pushing back the listing date—but through every setback, Nancy stood right beside me. She was endlessly patient, super sweet, and genuinely caring throughout the entire selling journey. Even in the most stressful moments, she made sure I felt supported, informed, and never alone. Her dedication and compassion truly set her apart. If you’re looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond and truly have your back, Nancy is the one. I’m incredibly grateful for everything she did to help me get to the finish line.

Linda Mohr

Prior to choosing a real estate agent to help sell our parents' home, we interviewed 3 agents; we chose Carrie.

She has a wonderful, warm, inviting and gracious personality which put us at ease. We had so many questions and Carrie gave us insightful answers and recommendations that we could work with. Her photographer took amazing photos as well. We wanted a special property description i the MLS and so, working together with Carrie, we were able to craft a description that was exactly what we wanted. Along the way, if an issue arose, Carrie's experience and professionalism made any issue seem like no big deal; always dealt with quickly and with a very satisfactory outcome. Once the property went on MLS, showings went quickly and seamlessly. Carrie always notified us of upcoming showings and guided us through every phase of the sale process which for us was quite stressful. As offers came in, Carrie kept a data sheet so we could easily understand and compare all offers. When it came time to accept an offer, there was not one question that Carie could not answer. Her years of experience and professionalism were amazing and helped us choose the right prospective buyer for the home where we grew up and held close to our hearts. When it came time for the final walk through just prior to closing, the buyer's agent failed to attend (we were shocked as that is standard industry protocol) the walk through with the buyers. Despite a packed schedule that day, Carrie stepped forward and attended the walk through for the buyers. Carrie left a beautiful bouquet of flowers in the kitchen to welcome the new owners; what a sweet, gracious and professional gesture on Carrie's part. Carrie is top notch and the ultimate professional. If you are looking for an amazing real estate professional with years of experience, we recommend Carrie King!

JAMES NICOLAIDIS (Seller)

Nichole was highly recommended by a friend who owns a business in Endicott, (car dealership).

Words cannot express our gratitude and thankfulness Nichole provided us in selling our aunts estate. She is professional, knowledgeable, down to earth, and personally plus. She made us feel like we've been friends for ever and was looking out for ours and the buyer's best interest. She went above and beyond the normal duties of an agent. Nichole loves being a reality agent, it shows. The sale went so well that we closed in just a little over a month. We strongly recommend Nichole with NextHome Kingdom she is the best. Thank you Nichole.

Julie Champion (Executor of estate )

Karissa was absolutely wonderful to work with.

The purchase of my new home took about 3-4 weeks from start to finish. That’s got to be a record! There were no hiccups in the process. I’d 100% contribute that to Karissa’s hard work ethic, constant availability, and great local connections. She worked VERY hard to make this process a great experience for me. Not to mention she’s honest, smart, funny, and so easy to be with.

Meggan Taylor

Bob did a fantastic job guiding me through the process of becoming a first time homeowner.

I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, experienced, and easy to work with realtor. I recommend Bob 100% for anyone looking to make a move.

Carrie King is a true professional!

She is by far the best realtor i have ever worked with. She always had time for me, no matter the question or hour. She has a charming personality and is a genuine caring person. There were issues with this sale that she managed quickly and professionally. She had our backs from the beginning all the way to the completion of the closing and after. We consider her a forever friend. She is a gem! And deserves all the best. Thank you Vicki White

My boyfriend and I wanted one house and one house only and she made it happen. We are first time buyers and she was very patient throughout the whole process. Any question we had, she answered. Our experience was very smooth and that is all thanks to Carrie. She makes time for her clients and is very passionate about what she does. I wouldn’t work with anyone else.

Juliette Kaplan

Nathan helped me buy my first house and I’m glad I had the opportunity to work with him.

Herb Vasquez

My wife and I recently sold our home after owning it for almost 40 years, and choosing the right realtor was incredibly important to us.

After interviewing several agents, we selected Carrie King – and it quickly became clear why she stood out. From our very first meeting and throughout the entire selling process, Carrie demonstrated exactly what it means to be an outstanding professional. Carrie’s company motto is “Humans over sales,” and that isn’t just a slogan for her – it’s how she actually lives and works. She genuinely enjoys her career, she is joy-filled and personable and most importantly, she truly cares about the people she serves. She is an excellent communicator: a great listener who explains things clearly and thoughtfully. Her deep knowledge of the local market – pricing, trends and comparable sales in our specific area – gave us complete confidence in her guidance. Carrie also did a skillful job marketing our home, presenting it beautifully and connecting with other agents and potential buyers through her strong professional network. What impressed us most is that so many of Carrie’s professional strengths are actually values: high integrity, transparency, responsiveness, patience and empathy. She was always timely in her replies and focused on what was truly in our best interest. She understood and respected the emotional side of selling a long-time family home, and she guided us through it with grace. To be successful in business – and in life – you need a delicate balance of “head” skills and “heart” skills. Carrie King clearly demonstrates both. That’s why she’s such a successful realtor, and why we recommend her with complete and unwavering confidence.

Richard Orth

Carrie helped us sell a home that we inherited after the passing of a family member.

She was an invaluable resource that guided us through every step, responded immediately when we had questions, and sold the house quickly once it was listed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great partner to sell their home.

Don Lynch

Nate is absolutely amazing.

From the first time we met him he was very friendly and personable. He listened to every inquiry we had and remembered them. He was open to look at any property and even offered to look at other properties that are nearby. Every question we had that wasn't necessarily a question he would know the answer to during the whole process he was more than happy to answer the best he could, or find someone that could answer it. Even after the purchase of the house he continues to answer questions and comments. I definitely recommend him for any of your home purchasing needs.

Aaron Gorski

I interviewed three agents to list my home and hired Carrie without hesitation.

Carrie came prepared to the listing presentation with facts and did additional research to answer specific questions that the other agents didn’t do. We received two offers above list price the 2nd day on market. Carrie helped navigate some transactional issues, provided regular updates and stayed in frequent communication with me throughout the process. She hired a professional photographer and did an amazing virtual tour and the photos looked great!!

Michael H

Lori did an excellent job from start to finish helping with the sale of my home.

She gave good advice on necessary upgrades which I believe helped with the sale of my home. The process of the sale went smoothly. She also coordinated with my attorney and the buyers on a timely basis. I would certainly recommend her to anyone interested in buying or selling a house.

David Ellison

Carrie is very professional and knowledgeable.

She understands the market and balances her time with clients. I found her to be always available if I had a question. She is sympathetic to the client's needs, while delivering honest advice based on her experience. She was able to get me to a successful sale and closing despite some unusual difficulties. I would highly recommend her in any future real-estate needs. I will certainly call on her again for any future needs.

Kathryn VanLoke (retired)

Karissa was great to work with!

Her patience with our son as a 1st time home buyer was so appreciated. We were able to look at many homes available in the area. Karissa scheduled multiple showings on the same day making it very efficient and accommodating to our schedules. Karissa is knowledgeable and provided everything needed for our son to be comfortable with his 1st home purchase. Her knowledge, kindness and patience made everything go smoothly. We highly recommend Karissa !

David Kohlbach

Nichole was just what we needed as our Realtor for selling our house.

Even from her first visit, she was able to intuit our needs and wants. She always reassured us about aspects that were hard for us and she stepped in where needed in amazing ways. We ended up moving out of state before the buyer of our home was ready to close, so we left absolutely everything in Nichole's capable hands. She was always available to text updates to us. We feel beyond thankful that we found a Realtor we could trust so completely.

Sally & Rich Kastl

Nate is an highly empathetic and solution oriented real estate agent.

His supportive and friendly nature makes buying a house feel safe and easy. I’d highly recommended Nathan Little for any real estate deals. Thanks so much Nate!

We loved working with Carrie!

She was so attentive and honest. Her availability was incredible and we could always rely on her! I would recommend her again and again to anyone buying or selling a home. Thank you Carrie!

Karleigh Pulver (Client)

Carrie did a fantastic job selling our parents country property on behalf of my siblings and me.

This is a complicated property with a large two story home in desperate need of updates with extended garages and a strange singular complex of disparate connected outbuildings. Appraisers informed us that this property would need a sales agency with proven expertise that could not only market it but also reach out-of-area buyers. Carrie came through with results and sold the properly but not without putting in countless backend hours showcasing the estate, managing buyer’s agents, and attorneys; and helping get the home ready for sale. Both my sibling and I highly recommend Carrie to anyone who wants to get their property on the market and actually sold!

Andy VanDamia

Nancy Messemer is that realtor you will not ever regret using for your realty needs.

She is very knowledgeable and on top of everything. Her response to texts is always within a few minutes. She is kind, funny and made me feel like I was her only client. She never acted stressed or made me feel rushed while talking to her. She listened to the struggles with the process of selling my family home and gave good advice on a personal level. She knew to wait on accepting bids and it panned out perfectly with the house selling for $20k more than asking. You can’t ask for a better realtor than Nancy! Thank you Nancy ❤️

Julia Nejeschleba (Seller)

Karissa did a fantastic job helping to sell my Aunt’s house.

We had multiple offers within days!! She is extremely helpful and easy to work with. I highly recommend Karissa!

Carrie Machalek

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Nancy!

We were buying from across the country, which presented unique challenges, but Nancy expertly guided us through every step of the process. She conducted thorough virtual tours, explained the intricacies of New York real estate transactions, and connected us with an excellent lender. Nancy went above and beyond doing everything down to making special trips to the property to take measurements for our movers. Her dedication, knowledge, and willingness to help made a stressful long-distance purchase remarkably smooth. We're so grateful for her representation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares about their clients.

I 100% recommend Nate as your agent!

My wife and I had a nightmare time dealing with our lender and Nate was assisting us through it all. He was calling, emailing, and following up regularly as well as always had time for a phone call from me; for any reason.

Tim Igo (Store Manager)

Carrie sold us our house when we moved to the area.

She was so great that we used her to sell the same house when we relocated. Carrie has great market knowledge and is very personable. Her expertise in the real estate industry is widely acknowledged and she makes everything simple whether your selling, buying, or just looking. I highly recommend Carrie for your next real estate needs. Sincerely, Jimmy Fey

James Fey (Director of Sales North America East )

I would like to start by saying I don't compose reviews often, however, Nates exclempatory service exceeds any expectation one could have.

My home purchase was challenging due to my circumstances being I lived out of state and unable to attend showings or the closing for that matter. He accepted these challenging terms and provided all the resources and tools I needed to make such a big decision on my new home from over 2,800 miles away. He worked with my brother, the loan company, realtors and the lawyers, going above and beyond all the while to ensure I was represented adequately, and ensured I didn't lose opportunity at anytime. Providing videos, video calls and pictures I felt as if I was there all along. When the time came for closing he picked my brother up from his house to the lawyers office. I believe he had car issues at the time of closing. Nates responsiveness and professionalism are unparalleled. When I was able to come to my new home for the first time, I knew I made the right decision. So, once again I want to thank Nate from the bottom of my heart for all his hard work on helping me find my forever home. And I will absolutely use him in the future for any property needs.
