MEET NIKKI ROUFS

New to Knox and loving it! A true California native for over four decades where salt water runs through your veins and life revolves around the beach; never in a million years would I have predicted that we would have moved more than five miles away from the salty air.

In September of 2021, my husband and I visited Knoxville and fell in love with all it had to offer. Beating other states closer to the west coast and family, this is where we desired to curate the next season of our life. We found a home and began the journey East in January of 2022.

With the support of Realty Executives Downtown and the enthusiasm of being a new transplant myself, I want to come alongside those making a similar transition. When you’re making that big of a move, know you have a safe place to land and a friend you can call.

NIKKI’S TESTIMONIALS

  • We cannot recommend Gisela "Nikki" Roufs enough! My husband, goldendoodle, and I relocated to Knoxville, Tennessee from across the country this summer. We had only spent a grand total of about 10 hours in Knoxville previously and were connected with Nikki at the suggestion of one of our mutual friends. We had never met in person, but from the moment we chatted online via video, we knew she would be perfect for us. Her family had relocated to Knoxville from across the country as well, so she knew exactly what we were going through. This ended up being so helpful throughout the entire home search process because she helped explain the area in terms we could understand and gave us tips and tricks for the home search when you are completely new to an area. Once we actually arrived in Tennessee, we were so excited to meet her. She had really mapped out areas in the region that we would enjoy, and she even pre-toured or did drive-bys of some of the houses to make sure they would fit our needs. Something that was really important to us was finding a realtor who really felt like they were on our team. Nikki definitely fulfilled this wish. She took notes of what we liked and didn't like, asked questions, sent suggestions, and pointed out different homes and neighborhoods to consider. During the paperwork process, she was always acting on behalf of us to make sure we were satisfied with everything we asked for. She gave advice and guidance and also listened to our questions with patience and care. From start to finish, she was a pleasure to work with. By the end of our home search, I feel like she knew what I wanted more than I even knew what I wanted! Over the course of our time working together, we became friends as well. She was the first person to welcome us to the area and recommended churches, activities, restaurants, and more. She really made the transition smooth, and I hope you will consider her for your home search-- especially if you are an out of state client like us :)

  • If you are looking for an excellent realtor who is extremely responsive with impeccable knowledge about the industry call Nikki. She made the home buying process stress free and she will always ensure that her clients best interests are met. Not only did we meet an awesome realtor we met a friend! We would recommend Nikki to anyone —- The Hendersons
