What our amazing clients are saying!

Nico was fantastic to work with, when you make the decision to purchase, he was all in. Every step of the way he provides you with the information you need to make an educated decision on the next part, and he will relentlessly follow up on things that come up throughout the process to provide a smooth transition into your next stage of life. As a fellow Veteran I appreciated his candor and frank approach if you asked him for his opinion. Nico was dedicated to getting me to my desired purchase. At every step it was easy enough to reach out to Nico and usually within minutes he would get back with a solution or guide to assist you on the next step. I could not recommend The Lion Den Group, more specifically Nico, highly enough.
Our first home buying journey was a dream, thanks to our incredible realtor Nico! His guidance made every step easy and exciting. Nico didn't just find us a house; he taught us about the market, patiently answered our questions, and empowered us to make the best decisions. His dedication and knowledge turned what could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable adventure. Grateful for Nico’s expertise and support!
When I relocated to Tampa in August to be nearer to my girlfriend, we found ourselves in a tight spot: we needed a home by the end of October. To complicate matters further, we had our hearts set on new constructions, a daunting request given our timeline. Though we were approached by several agents, many seemed too eager, giving us the impression that they were more concerned about closing a deal rather than genuinely catering to our needs. Then we met Nicolas. Perhaps it's his military background, but Nicolas was refreshingly straightforward and sincere. He laid out the market conditions candidly, explaining the challenges of finding a new construction home on short notice. But rather than discouraging us, he rose to the challenge. Nicolas diligently made calls, set up appointments, and ultimately, found us the perfect home. Today, as we closed on our new house, we reflected on the journey. Nicolas wasn't just a realtor who facilitated the process; he was a guiding hand, ensuring every step was smooth. It might sound clichéd, but while we started off seeking a realtor, we ended up gaining a lifelong friend. To make our closing day even more memorable, Nicolas surprised us at the closing location with champagne and gifts, making our special moment even more cherished. Thank you for helping us find our first home Nico! Hopefully this will not be our last.
It was a pleasure working with Nick. Buying a home in another state can create challenges. Nick's knowledge of the Tampa/ St. Petersburg markets aided me in making and informed decision on my purchase. I highly recommend Nick and His team!
Nicolas is great. If it was not for him we double we would have been able to close on a real estate deal we had put together. I reached out to many other agents prior to Nicolas, and a number of them never got back to me. Those who did had me jump through crazy tasks before they would even move forward with me. Thanks Nicolas!
I am very glad that I chose Nicolas to be my real estate agent. He was recommended to me by Kerry Irvin, the Executive Director of Operations Healing Forces via a post I made in the Things to Do In Tampa FB Group. Nicolas did an absolutely outstanding job from start to finish with the process. My situation was certainly not the easiest, but Nicolas made the process so much easier than it could have been. He showed me several houses and was knowledgeable about each and every one. He quickly completed any follow-up that was needed and always communicated quickly and efficiently. I also appreciated that he never put any pressure on me to make any choices ,but instead provided me with all the information I needed and then stood back to allow me to make a decision. Nicolas is the kind of agent that you just know from the first encounter that he is going to d a great job - and he surely did. If you are looking for the best, Nicolas is it! I can fully recommend him without reservation. Thanks Nicolas for a job exceptionally done!!
Back in February, my husband and myself bought our first home here in Florida! Our realtor (Nico) was absolutely amazing. Nico and is wife helped us find our now home and we absolutely love it here! We were nervous about buying a house we haven't seen in person but he did an amazing job with showing us the house through video chat and made the process as smooth as possible. I 1000% recommend these lovely people to help you find/sell your (dream) home.
If your a Veteran and not using Nico, you should be. As a first time homebuyer, there was so many things I did not know that went into buying a house but Nico was really patient with me and would be super quick to respond. This is how amazing he is. So I was under contract with one house and the deal fell through due to seller not wanting to fix issues after the home inspection. He was already researching other properties for me within the same day. Let me know an agent that has this much initiative, I”ll wait. Thank you so much for helping me find my forever home.
We had the pleasure of working with our agent Nicolas and our experience was nothing short of amazing. We were on a time crunch to find our home and Nicolas was able to help us find our dream home in a matter of just one week. I highly recommend him to any of our friends and family.
I recently sold my house and Nico made it as easy as possible. From our very first meeting, Nico was polite, upfront, and professional. He took the time to educate me on the market and what the process looks like to sell. He was in contact with me every step of the way, and was readily available if I needed anything. Not only did his expertise help get my house sold quickly, but his tips helped me get over asking price. I highly recommend Nico to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
As first time buyers and a military family the idea of buying our first house at the pre PCS seemed overwhelming and to be quite honest we were uncertain if we were prepared for this journey. Luckily we were able to work with Nico and it has been a treat. When working with Nico you get a realtor who is not only committed to the buyer but engaged in educating you along the way. Nico is personable, extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Nico made himself available to us even with the time zone difference and adapted very well to our numerous asks. He was patient and kind and was able to help us find a beautiful home that met our every desire. My husband and I are more than pleased with Nico’s service and appreciate everything he has been able to educate us on and navigate through. We would highly recommend Nico , hands down, no questions asked. I’m sure he will be able to serve your family and deliver whatever you desire in a home. Thanks again for everything Nico.
The experience of buying a house like this was very good, thanks to Nico. From looking for the best house, in the best place, to real estate advice. Help and guide for installation of services. And most importantly, available 24/7 to solve problems. I learned from this experience that a good realtor like Nico gives you peace of mind that you are making an excellent investment for the future or living your happy life.
"For first time home buyers, NICO put us at ease and made the whole process less stressful. Constantly kept us updated and informed us on everything going on with the home buying process. Kept our budget and requirements in mind the entire time. Very professional and great at communicating. NICO went above and beyond. Helped us find a temporary place during our PCS process while we waited for closing. Even in today's market, NICO was able to find us a home that is perfect for our family and in our budget."
"Thank you for helping our family find out[sic] dream home!"
"Nick is wonderful to work with. He went above and beyond in our home search and getting the house we wanted. He is professional, very personable, communicative, and transparent. He was always available as we were out of town buyers and he took us along on tours. He is the perfect agent to have as your representative in this crazy market as he sets deadlines and has smart strategies. My husband and I are so glad Nick is our rep!"
"There are a few times in a person's life when they truly feel safe under someone who is dealing with their future. One person you'll feel safe the whole way is with Nicolas "Nico" A Scaron. He goes beyond what I've ever experienced with real estate agents. He does his homework, he is networking, and most importantly he listens to what you want and need by making sure that the home is a home that he would buy for his own family. There were several instances where Nico's extra work paid off immensely. He was always patient and honest; He was working at midnight and probably even later hours making sure I had a home asap. As to the future, if I ever decide to sell, I will call him to sell my home! You won't be disappointed, he is the best and there's no comparison."
"I am pleased to extend my appreciation for a job well done representing my wife and I on a Florida real estate transaction. Nicolas was available when I needed him and conducted himself professionally in all facets of the transaction. Detailed, knowledgeable and conscientious describe his efforts and he was a pleasure to work with."
(Prior experience with another REALTOR before meeting Nicolas A Scaron): We were looking for a house with my partner and we knew that we would need help from a professional, some acquaintances gave us information about a realtor who had helped them buy their house recently so we decided to contact him to advise and guide us in the process. It was not a pleasant experience since he did not guide us in the process, he was not looking for good houses for us but my partner found them for him... when we attended to the house showing there was never any advice or observations from his side about the property, it seemed as if he was pushing us into picking any home so they we could continue with the process;, he was just acting like an agent who wanted money and profit and he saw us as his income in some way so he wanted to get it over with fast. This set us back quite a bit since we did not feel very comfortable with him and his work, so we told him that we would take some time to think carefully about what we wanted and what we were really looking for. At the time that we were looking at houses on our own, a relative of my partner told him about one of his childhood friend who had become a realtor and was a good person and did his job quite well and with good morals, so we decided to contact him. Then we met Nico, a person who from the beginning was very friendly and professional at the same time, he made us feel safe so we decided to work with him. We are first time home buyers and he guided us and explained the entire process in detail, from what types of loans there were to what we would need for each of them and which one was best for us according to our situation. He sent us a lot of information so that we were aware of everything we needed and was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. When we decided on a house, we went to see it, he advised us as a friend and as a realtor, for the inspection he made sure the company was a legitimate inspector which saved us a lot of headaches because they found some major flaws in the property that weren’t visible at plain site but made us decide it wasn’t worth it and kept looking for better options. We saw several houses until one caught our attention because it was pretty and the area it was in was very nice and it looked good. Nicolás was always quick and efficient when it came to showing us the houses we were interested in so we could go see it. We liked the house a lot so we began the purchase process, in which he guided us step by step, he was also able to negotiate the price and certain points that he wanted to change in order to benefit us more as buyers. Thanks to him and his La Rosa team everything went well and the process was easy and smooth and now we have our first house! We will always be grateful to them for the help they gave us and much more to Nicolás for his work and dedication making one of our dreams come true. Again I’m concluding this experience by thanking them because without him and his group we would not have been able to do it, thank you!
"I have read the reviews seen the testimonials. As a Veteran I wanted to check everything out for my family and myself. If there was anything that was uniform with all the comments, it was how AWSOME Nico is. I’m not quite sure how to say this , but my wife and I REALLY believe and feel that nothing anyone can say is justifiable for him. He’s much much more than you can say. When I tried to contact him he replied immediately! If you are a Veteran and are reading this post, please feel free to contact me. I will be proud and Honored to speak with you on all that he does to meet our needs and how I feel he will yours. Nico actually found and got us into a better home that we thought we could get! Thanks Nico, we hope and Pray for that you accomplish all your striving for!!"
Nico was absolutely wonderful to work with! He listened to what we asked for and made sure we were happy with our choices. With us buying a house from a different state and not being able to visit, Nicos communication skills were 10/10. He really went above and beyond for us! He helped us find our dream home and we couldn’t have been happier with his service. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.
I highly recommend Nico and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and is very responsive to my needs and always available. Not only is his team very patient and understanding, they are professional, ethical and I always felt like they had my best interests at heart.
This review is not from the perspective of a client but, from the viewpoint of a home inspector. From the beginning, it was evident that Nico employs a unique approach. He is dedicated to his clients. He possesses a thorough understanding of their requirements, advises them on potential concerns, and diligently conducts his research. Furthermore, I have personally witnessed him meticulously inspecting homes prior to presenting them to clients. He has consistently attended every inspection I have conducted with him, ensuring that everything proceeds smoothly and taking the time to review any deficiencies and discuss them with the client. He has gone through attics, demonstrating genuine concern for his clients' needs and ensuring that they are addressed during the inspection process. If you are in the market for purchasing a home and have the privilege of working with Nico as your agent, consider yourself truly blessed. Thank you, Nico, for consistently demonstrating exceptional dedication, commitment, work ethic, and integrity in all your endeavors as a realtor. I will certainly contact you when I am ready to purchase a new home.
He gets it done! Such determination is hard to find. Nico has helped me countless times with advice and guidance both when we purchased our first home and after. I highly encourage you to take advantage of his services, since you will not find a more honest person in the in the industry.
This group treat everyone like family and not another number. They work effectively and efficiently to help you during the entire process. Nico has blown my expectations well beyond what I thought could be done during the entire process. You will not find anyone else or group that knows the Tampa Bay area, and I mean the REAL Tampa Bay area better than him. If you want to buy or sell your home, this is the group that will put your best interest at heart and guide you every step of the way without hesitation.
Working with Nico was the highlight of the entire process he was a shining star he made us feel very at ease and explained everything since this was our first time buying he walk us through the entire process and he dealt how picky I was through this process lol if you are looking for someone who cares about the family and their happiness over everything Nico is your guy he’s apart of our family now thanks Nico your the best
Working with Nico and Nathalia was an absolute pleasure during my home buying journey. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication made the process seamless and stress-free. They went above and beyond to ensure I found the perfect home, guiding me every step of the way with patience and care. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of expert real estate assistance!
Patience. A quintessential tool when working directly in an industry with many unknowns. Nico, and his professional business have displayed countless accounts of humility, information and education in the real-estate realm. America is progressively transitioning back to its origins in the support of small family owned business. This entails practice that is more intimate with customers, and understanding of endeavors. I connected with Nico’s team on information towards business, regulation, tax, and other eye fatiguing information in the real-estate field. Nico, being a veteran such as myself, displayed expedited care and professionalism that will further tailor my knowledge and grasp on home owning. The vicissitudes in real-estate breed disorientation. This team proves to eliminate all veils of uncertainty. Further providing comfort for salient life decisions
Nicolas Scaron was a great agent. He went above and beyond. He was on top of every obstacle and kept me informed the whole time. I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know who needs a real estate agent. His service deserves a rating of AAA+++, need I say more.
