Keith & Tomoko
Sean and Mary were amazing to work with! They listened to all our needs and wants while helping us locate the perfect home. Once we found the perfect place they helped us through the home buying process. They offered a lot of wonderful guidance that comes with years in the industry. From the offer to close they were there to help and make sure we were taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us during our home buying process.
Nate & Eva
I loved working with Sean and Mary. We were not sure what type of home we wanted, and the dynamic duo asked the questions we needed to decide what our dream house was. They were in constant communication; responding to our phone calls and text messages at all hours of the day. I am grateful for them and for their willingness to work with us to make our home purchase possible. Sean & Mary worked with us throughout the entire process. They took us to a variety of homes in the city and some in the outer, less populated cities. Their “golden ticket” is also a fun way to ensure we carefully selected our dream home 🙂 I would recommend working with Sean and Mary as they are a team that cannot be beat!
Jackie & Dexter
Thanks so much for all the help finding my new home…We really appreciate all the hard work, effort and persistence you showed in finding this home. After seeing dozens of homes, you two really kept on top of new listings that would work for us. We were able to make our offer within days of our new home listing.
This was our first time buying a home and your expertise dealing with all the details was invaluable. Your consistent hard work and can-do attitude made all the difference!
Your experience on dealing with the inspection process saved us during tough negotiations. You helped negotiate a 3% discount on the sales price after much back and forth and got the seller to pay for many repairs and improvements on the home.
I would recommend Sean & Mary Nikas to anyone who wishes to buy or sell real estate! They are a great husband and wife team. They were there for us every step of the way!

I just completed the purchase of a home here in Keizer. This is a great community. I am planning on putting a great deal of love and care into this home to make it special. You should see many improvements to the home in just the next few weeks.
Sean & Mary Nikas have been a huge help in finding this home! They were very patient and took the time to show me many potential homes. They kept on top of new listings as they came on the market and I was able to view this home and make my successful offer the same day the home listed — before the sign went up!
Their hard work and advice throughout the escrow process has been invaluable. Sean & Mary helped with all the details of buying the home: dealing with inspectors, appraisers, bankers, escrow officers, contractors, other realtors and the previous homeowner, so I could go to work every day knowing that the details were being taken care of.
Susan
Grateful for a great team. It means a lot to Robert & I that you and Mary have been covering every aspect of us buying a home. We are grateful to have such a great team working for us.
Melinda
I wanted to let you know how much I love the new home in Corvallis that you found for me! … I couldn’t be more pleased! Meeting you was one of the best parts of finding a home and moving to Oregon, and I hope you will come say hello once in a while when you are down in this area again. Thanks again for everything, and hope to see you again!
Jane
From start to finish they were great. We were first time buyers and they took the time to teach us everything we needed to know. They work well as a team, communication was great and they helped us buy a home that met all of our needs.
Cary & Courtney
I am pleased to be writing this letter of reference for Sean & Mary Nikas. They worked together to find the home that was right for my family in … I am eternally grateful to both Sean & Mary for helping my family find and secure our dream home. Without the Nikas team I do not think we would have been able to find a Realtor that would have been as excited about our home as we are.
Zolton
Mary – Thank you and Sean for seeing us through a couple of false starts to what I’m sure is the right one. My husband is ready to go at a minute’s notice … We really appreciate your efforts on our behalf and look forward to being able to thank you both in person.
Valerie
We were having real trouble with a long term tenant in our rental property. We decided it would be better to sell this house than continue to try to manage it from so far away. Sean and Mary could not have been better! Their command of the issues and hands on approach to each problem was really fantastic! I don’t think any other agent could have sold this property with the tenants still in the property like Sean and Mary did.
Tenant Trouble
When my non-profit began searching for the purchase of property, there was no doubt on my mind to reconnect with Sean and Mary on our journey. Busy Bees is a locally owned family business, with quirky, upbeat, and fun to work with people. Not only did Sean and Mary guide us through the steps of purchasing business property, they also were quick in communication and turnaround. I highly recommend working with the Busy Bees team, for both personal and business purposes! Professional and willing to go the extra mile for you on all services!
Jackie
We will be recommending you to anyone who asks. We want you both to know that we sincerely appreciate all the effort you put in to help sell our house – we really do! We will be recommending you both to anyone who asks. Thank you Sean and Mary for all your hard work!!
