About Us

It Started with An Idea...

John was a high producing agent with what many considered to be a great business. He was with a big brokerage that put high value of volume sales & gross commissions earning. John was consistently at the top of their awards models, selling more and more homes.

But he wasn’t happy. Something was missing.

He sold a home to a young couple during this time. Their joy and excitement really pulled at his heart. While sitting at lunch with some of his colleagues, listening to the office chatter about sales and earnings and sales tactics, he had what he describes as his “Jerry Maguire” break through.

The very next day, he changed his philosophy.

The goal isn’t how many more homes we can sell, it’s about making a genuine difference in the lives of our clients. It’s about doing a great job for the client in front of us today, giving them the time and respect they deserve.

Thus was born the Nice Agents real estate team.

I have used John Carle for two home sales, one for myself where I also purchased a new home and one for my senior father. As people who rarely deal with real estate transactions, we really leaned on John for his expertise, advice and advocacy throughout the process. In addition to his thorough knowledge of the housing market, he has a great understanding of people and met us where we were at, helping us through times that, for us, were highly charged with anxiety and emotion. I am happy to recommend him to anyone seeking help selling or finding a property.

John was excellent to work from the initial meeting to discuss possibly the sale of our condo through to the possession date after the sale. John really does his home work; he had in listing and comparables for similar condo's in our area available on the firs meting, which then made setting an asking price an easy decision from day one.
I highly recommend John for any and all your real estate needs.

We recently worked with Steve Bruner to purchase our home. He was absolutely phenomenal in helping us purchase our first home. As first-time buyers, we had countless questions and concerns, but Steve guided us through the entire process with patience, professionalism, and a wealth of knowledge.

From the moment we started our search, Steve made sure we felt confident and informed. He listened carefully to our needs, found properties that matched our preferences, and provided honest advice at every step. His attention to detail and constant communication made us feel supported throughout the journey. He also introduced us to excellent lawyer who ensured all legalities were handled seamlessly.

Thanks to Steve, he made what could have been a stressful experience truly enjoyable. We’re so grateful for his dedication and highly recommend him to anyone.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Steve Bruner and we couldn't have asked for a better realtor to help us buy our first family home! From the moment we started working with Steve, he made the entire process feel exciting and stress-free. His knowledge and expertise guided us every step of the way, ensuring we made informed decisions without feeling overwhelmed. What really stood out was his commitment to making the experience enjoyable — he was always upbeat, patient, and genuinely cared about finding the perfect home for our family. Before starting this process, I was apprehensive about bringing our four month old baby along to search for a house, but Steve was fantastic about the entire process. I never felt rushed or stressed. It was truly an enjoyable process. If you're looking for a realtor who will make your home-buying journey fun, stress-free, and memorable, we highly recommend Steve!

Working with Steve Bruner was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He made the entire home-buying process much smoother than we expected. There were some tricky negotiations along the way, but Steve handled them with ease and secured the best possible outcome for us.

What really stood out was how responsive he was. Whether it was after hours, on weekends, or even during statutory holidays, Steve was always available to answer our questions and guide us through every step. His knowledge, patience, and professionalism made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.

And to top it all off, Steve surprised us with a thoughtful gesture after closing, which made us feel truly valued as clients.

We could not have asked for a better real estate agent and would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
