"Working with Ninkey was an absolute pleasure and relief to have someone with her caliber of expertise, can-do attitude, and on top of her game part of the transaction! I’ve been involved with large business deals over the last 30 years and gained experience early on who’s fake and who really knows what they are doing. Let me assure you, that Ninkey knows what she’s doing and has her client's best interest at heart. As I’ve shared with Ninkey and will share here, if we are ever back in the U.S. and need a real estate expert, we will certainly call on Ninkey. What I have not mentioned yet, Ninkey was NOT my agent, but the buyers. I was so impressed as the seller on her performance that I’m here writing a review for her. You will not find a review from me on my agent as the comparison is just not even in the ballpark. If you want the best and expect the best in a real estate agent, CALL NINKEY!"

"We highly recommend Ninkey Dalton. Ninkey provided expert advice on staging, hired an excellent photographer, and ensured the pictures showcased our home. She advised us on how to best market our property, held several open houses with extensive follow- up to attendees, and kept us apprised of the results immediately thereafter.

Working with Ninkey is a great experience."

"Ninkey Dalton is not only a great real estate agent, but is a great friend. When our family needed a Malibu rental, Ninkey was able to find a beautiful place in the Colony at the very last minute for us. She organized every detail as we were living abroad in Italy. After our time in Europe was finished our family decided to move to California and once again, Ninkey was there for us. She and I managed to organize several houses for me to see while in Los Angeles for only one week. We did it. Literally as I was checking in at LAX, Ninkey rushed over to the airport for me to sign the papers. I write this testimonal today sitting in my beautiful office in my beautiful house that I love more and more each day. Ninkey handled everything. We could not have done it without her. I cannot imagine ever leaving this home but if I do, I know Ninkey will be there for me and my family. "

"Ninkey and I had worked together about five years ago when I bought a house and then quickly sold a townhouse. Our partnership was then brought together again when Ninkey helped immeasurably as we located a new house, and then quickly sold my previous house. Ninkey again represented me in both transactions and helped steer the way through multiple inspections only to be followed by multiple negotiations as we juggled several offers on the house I was selling. My purchased house was completed below asking price, while the house I sold was well over asking price, and through it all Ninkey was knowledgeable and uniquely qualified to make both transactions conclude successfully. I look forward to working with Ninkey again on the next transaction as buyer and seller. "

From beginning to end Ninkey was there for us to answer our questions, make suggestions, communicate with others on our behalf and make sure all details were taken care of until the keys were in our possession. In addition to the purchase of our new house, Ninkey also successfully and quickly sold two other properties for us at the same time. The entire experience was seamless and stress-free. "

"I had a fantastic experience working with Ninkey. I was looking for my first house. I wasn’t sure exactly where I wanted to be but I had a sense of how I wanted it to feel. At times I was impatient, I just wanted to get a place. Ninkey helped me to sit back and wait, pointing out when it sounded like I was trying to talk myself into a house and reminding me, that when I walk into it, I will know it, that it will feel different than all the rest. (I wasn’t always a believer). Ninkey was right, and I am so thankful that she encouraged me to wait. As soon as I walked onto the property that is now my home, I knew it. And when I turned to her and asked what she thought, she just looked at me and said, this is it, this is your house. It was a very competitive bidding process, with three all-cash offers. Ninkey knew I was desperate to get the house and she fought for me every step of the way. I can’t say enough good things about working with Ninkey. She is knowledgeable and organized and patient. She is warm and kind and genuine which was a huge bonus since we spent months working together. The bottom line is Ninkey is always on your team, and she will be a fierce advocate for you once you find your home. Good luck! I hope you find the home you are looking for."

"I was an out-of-town seller and thus had to rely on my Realtor® for far more support than most. I interviewed 6 agents personally before choosing Ninkey Dalton. I was thrilled with the service and support which I received. Outstanding daily communication, a host of essential contacts that proved to be reliable, trustworthy, and fantastic to get the home ready for sale from window washers, to carpet layers, to painters, etc. When a Stager was to be hired where my taste and budget were critical, Ms. Dalton arranged for one day of back to back interviews so that I could fly into town, have optimum information at a minimum time away from family and business in another city, and efficiently make the decisions myself. During negotiations, when we received multiple competing offers, Ms. Dalton was firm, courteous, and highly skilled with a great deal of charm and humor thrown in. My final price was over $100 above asking and from first open house to close of escrow was only nine days for an all-cash offer. I remain thrilled at the detail-oriented support, communication, and expertise of Ms. Dalton."

"Ninkey Dalton was the listing agent on our father’s ocean view condo in Santa Monica. Both trustees lived outside of LA and it was important for us to select an agent we could trust, depend upon, and who would guide us through the process across different time zones and distances. Ninkey brought her creative eye and her production design background that added so much value to her presence as our listing agent. She was our trusted advisor whom we relied upon during this challenging and often complicated sale. Throughout the process, she constantly communicated with us, and kept us wholly involved, holding our hands along the sometimes-bumpy road of the transaction. She went above and beyond in all situations and in the end, helped us to close our sale over the asking price. We can’t recommend Ninkey enough!"

"Ninkey was our real estate agent when we wanted to buy our first home. With a patient and personal touch, she was the ultimate resource. Ninkey embraced our questions with innovative ideas and unique perspectives on home design. She had an amazing knowledge of the area and a keen understanding of our tastes and preferences. Her expertise and fine attention to detail were invaluable when working with inspectors and finalized contracts. In less than two months, she was at the doorstep of our new Santa Monica home, ready to hand us the keys. Ninkey describes herself as a 'velvet hammer,' the perfect metaphor for how she serves her clients. She has a soft demeanor with an amiable spirit, yet she is very strong, forthright, and assertive in getting what her client wants."

"I have done a few real estate transactions through Ninkey Dalton in LA for the past 3 years. I have also recommended her as an agent to a number of friends and they have also completed their transactions successfully. Ninkey always brings a lot of confidence into her clients by her professional and detailed approach to all matters. She can be reached 24/7 if the client has any concerns which is a very rare thing. She knows the city very well and not only the location of the available properties but also knows all information about the neighborhood like schools, medical centers, grocery stores etc. That is so helpful for people who are new to LA and prepare to relocate from other cities. She treats her clients with respect and always friendly and open, thus making the whole experience unforgettable as if it was your best friend taking you to see your future house! I highly recommend Ninkey Dalton as a real estate agent! "

As I kept looking, I became more educated, more selective, more cautious and all the while Ninkey stuck with me. She never let herself become discouraged, and never let me become discouraged either. Though, at times, I thought it was hopeless. I thought that the days had passed where you could walk into a home, and know it was yours just as you walked through the front door. Because she left no stone unturned and never lost faith, I have the house of my dreams."

"As the trustee of my parent’s estate, selecting the right real estate agent to handle the task of selling their house of over 50 years in Little Holmby/Westwood was essential. I chose Ninkey Dalton because I knew her to be a proven professional with exemplary people, design and negotiating skills. Each one came into play before and throughout the listing period. Ninkey knew what to do and when to do it. Her contacts within the contracting community and neighborhood were essential to getting the house up and ready for the market in a fast and efficient time period. It wasn’t an easy task to get the house ready for sale. From coordinating the disbursement of over 50 years of personal items, which included art to auction houses, charitable organizations to selecting new paint colours, new carpeting, running cleaning crews both interior and exterior; this was a massive undertaking and she tackled it with terrific organizational skills and rigorous execution. Ninkey was in constant contact with me and was always offering options for all decisions. She did an outstanding job assisting in preparing the house and obtaining the best offer for us. I highly recommend and look forward to working with Ninkey "
