Raised in New Jersey and rooted in Tryon and Landrum since 2005, Nikki Sauvé has become a trusted guide throughout the Carolinas’ equestrian and real estate communities. She brings a rare blend of equestrian expertise, local insight, and sharp business acumen to every client she serves.
What sets Nikki apart isn’t just her deep knowledge of equestrian properties and the nuances of the horse world—it’s how she shows up for her clients. Time and again, they describe her as tireless, tough, and deeply committed. One recalls her negotiating a repair request from a hospital bed without missing a beat. Another says that if there were a way to rate her a “10+,” they would.
Her track record speaks to both results and relationships: multimillion-dollar estates sold seamlessly, cross-country relocations handled with care, and first-time buyers who feel not just represented but protected. Sellers commend her strategic marketing and ability to position properties for success, while buyers praise her patience, persistence, and skill in keeping even the most complex transactions on track.
Nikki is known for her open communication, creative problem-solving, and vast network of trusted professionals—from contractors and inspectors to equestrian specialists—that she leverages to simplify the process. Many describe her as a “superwoman,” someone who doesn’t just manage a transaction but shoulders the challenges so her clients don’t have to.
Above all, Nikki’s reputation rests on trust. Her clients know she will advocate fiercely, anticipate their needs, and make even the most stressful real estate journey feel manageable. Whether navigating the sale of a legacy estate, relocating a horse farm, or finding the perfect Carolina foothills home, Nikki brings diligence, heart, and a level of commitment that goes well beyond expectations.
Ultimately, closing the sale is the goal, but how you get there is an important part of the process. That’s why having the right agent is crucial—and Nikki proved to be the perfect fit. Success in this process depends on three key qualities: trust, knowledge, and agility. Trust: Without trust, communication breaks down, and the whole process becomes tangled in confusion. Knowledge: A deep understanding of the local market, the nuances of neighborhoods, and the community at large is essential. This expertise also extends to managing everything from major repairs to routine maintenance or cleanup—whatever a client may need. Agility: The ability to seize opportunities, know when to pivot, when to persevere, and when to stay the course is vital. Agility demands both skill and energy. Nikki embodies all three qualities. She never leaves you to navigate challenges alone; instead, she provides thoughtful counsel, unwavering support, and digs in her heels to solve problems when obstacles arise. She is intelligent, savvy, honest, and transparent, always acting with integrity and placing your best interests above all else. Simply put, Nikki is exceptional.
Nikki helped us sell our house in Spartanburg. She advised us on the best price range to list, the best offer to take, and was willing to work to get us whatever we needed for our bottom line. Our house sold in under a week! She also helped with finding contractors to get our repairs done. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell.
Nikki Sauve did an amazing job selling my house. She was always available to graciously answer all of my questions. I got an amazing offer in less than 48 hours on my house, and the closing went flawlessly. The purchase of my new house went just as smoothly. I can highly recommend Nikki to handle any of your real estate needs. She’s wonderful.
Nikki was not only professional, she helped make the process easy and fun.
If this is your first time buying a home, or just buying on general. Nikki is who you need to call! This was my husband and I first time purchasing a home and all I can say is WOW!!! She goes above and beyond to help assist your needs, she consistently make you feel like an priority! Nikki provided us with such a service that seems to good to be true. We have a 5yr old and 1yr old child and like some Realtors they'll throw you in anything to just make a sale but not Nikki. She even went as far as providing us with the square footage that would fit our life style, budget, communte to work, and even neighborhood safety for our family! If Mary Poppins was real, she would be Nikki because even when some of the process became problematic. She had so much sincerity and integrity, you honestly forget that she's just a realtor because she'll help you through the WHOLE process. Never once did we feel alone! Anytime we had any questions she always responded, and I'm not talking about 9-5 hours. Even If I had a question at 11 pm and I texted her, she would always respond. I swear if I was a baby Nikki was definitely my pacifier 🤗 because she made this process so soothing for me and my family💖! To know that I had a realtor that's willing to fight for me, go above and beyond, Up beat, listen to our needs and to successfully fulfill them. Was above AMAZING!!!! As long as you do your part I promise Nikki will make the rest a piece of cake!!!
I have not worked directly with Nikki, but she was involved in the transaction of the sale of my property as the buyer's agent. I have never sold a house before. What I found admirable and worthy of recommending Nikki is that she helped facilitate the sale in such a way that gave me peace of mind. Even after the sale, she continued to help me with issues I did not foresee after the sale.
Nikki is an awesome realtor! She was patient with us while helping us to find just the right home and we finally did! We were so impressed with how she expedited all that needed to be done from making our offer to arranging the inspections and a timely closing. She is really good at what she does!! She has a great personality and we were totally confident she had our best interests at heart. We highly recommend her!!!
Nikki is in a league of her own. This woman was negotiating our repair request while in labor. IN LABOR. At the hospital. Texting and emailing between contractions like it was just another Wednesday. She’s sharp, tireless, and tough. Her dedication, communication, and work ethic are something else. Always responsive, always five steps ahead, and somehow still warm and calm through the chaos. You want someone who shows up no matter what? That’s Nikki. She doesn’t just sell houses—she goes to bat for her clients like they’re family. You’ll never feel like just another client—because to Nikki, you’re not.
Nikki was awesome to work with. She’s diligent, tenacious, and caring. She kept our complex transaction on the right track and kept it from falling apart several times. She has been engaged and helpful from the start. I would absolutely recommend her.
Nikki was so cool and went way beyond to help in every way she could. She’s so nice and fun to work with. Easy great new friend.
Where do I begin with how amazing Nikki is I can think of so many words to describe this amazing agent. Professional. Caring. Tenacious. Educated. Resourceful. Ethical. Informed. Humble yet Strong. Personable. I could keep going... Not only is Nikki one of the best agents I have worked with, but one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. She understands not only the logical but also the emotional stressors of selling and buying. She completely supports you 1000% through the whole process, and she makes herself available whenever you need guidance. She is superwoman and she gets things done. My house was sold in one week. For asking price. In December, in the hardest season to sell a house. There is not a question that I now refer Nikki to every person I know who is looking to go through the sale or the purchase of their home. You will not find another agent more committed to your success.
It has been a real pleasure to work with Nikki throughout the sale of my family’s large home and estate in Rutherford County and the subsequent purchase of my small horse farm. I was referred by a friend whose home and property had been on the market with other realtors for over a year. Nikki sold their property very quickly walking her, and her elderly mother, through the whole process. From the beginning, Nikki proved to be the right choice for my requirements: establishing the correct property value of my estate, finding the right buyer, and handling the administration of the sale. Tasks successfully accomplished with total professionalism and gratefully without open-house visits and For Sale signs. Every sale has its story. This one starts with putting a brand-new roof on a home which had a 70-year-old slate roof. Then, just after the estate was put on the market, in the winter of 2022, my large, architecturally designed home unfortunately suffered substantial water damage which necessitated much time and energy finding contractors for repairs to plumbing, electricity, plasterwork, crown moulding, painting, wallpapering, hardwood floor repairs, etc. I am extremely grateful for Nikki’s unfailing support over this period. In constant contact and easily attainable, reliable, efficient, and full of resources, she has acquired much experience and created a good team of contacts /contractors for her projects: estate sales, HVAC, moving companies, landscape firms, plumbers, electricians, general contractors, carpenters and builders for horse stables, run-in sheds, horse fences. She gave me excellent advice and contacts in all these areas. An accomplished horsewoman, she loaded my horses (difficult loaders) for transport in vans to the new horse farm. This talent proved truly invaluable. Nikki performed over and beyond the expectations of a top horse and home realtor. She has a charming personality and excels in her field of work. I highly recommend her and extend my warm wishes for her future career.
The best! She's 100% on the transaction from beginning to end and then betond-- helping after the closing. A pleasure to work with due to her diligence, connections, and honesty. A realtor for life!
I have had the opportunity to work with many real estate agents in the past. Niki is far and above the most experienced and knowledgeable agent you could ever hope for.
Nikki helped us sell our house in Spartanburg. She advised us on the best price range to list, the best offer to take, and was willing to work to get us whatever we needed for our bottom line.

We were searching for a home in South Carolina and by sheer luck came across Nicole Sauve (aka Nikki) through one of her listings. Nikki handled herself in a very positive and professional manner. Nikki’s open communication style and her effort to go above and beyond makes her a valued participant in what can be a stressful situation, the purchase of a home, a place to live. Nikki not only handled issues arising prior to the closing but has provided guidance and assistance post-closing. The available ratings are 1-5, however, if there was an option to give her a 10+, we would gladly rate Nikki as a 10+.
Working with Nikki was fantastic. In this housing market where buying and selling can be difficult Nikki made it easy. The sale of our home and the purchase of our new one could have derailed many times and it was always Nikki who kept it on track! She is a great mix of diligence, persistence, professionalism and care. She makes even the tough ones look easy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for real results.
Nikki was the absolute best realtor I have ever worked with. Her knowledge of the area was only the beginning. I was moving cross country and she handled so many things for me after our offer was accepted. I never imagined a realtor could be so valuable.
