The first meeting we had with them we knew this was the team to work with. They have extensive knowledge of my mom's townhome community of Cuernavaca in Mountain View. From day one, everything about managing the sale was so seamless. The staging that was done was incredible (thank you Emily - from their group!) and after one weekend of open houses, the townhome had many offers, well over asking. The best thing about Mike was that he is so personable and nice, extremely good at communicating and was so patient with our many questions during the sale process. Without a doubt, if you need a realtor in their area, call the Troyer & Cabot group!

After researching and meeting with a number of realtors, we selected Kathy on the basis of…read morereputation and Yelp reviews. Our initial meeting was purely exploratory - but by the end of it we were so convinced that Kathy was head and shoulders above others that we initiated an agreement on the spot. And we are so glad we did: from beginning to end of our sale transaction Kathy was insightful, honest, practical, efficient, and in every way the professional that we had hoped for. What we had not expected and were delighted to discover is that she is also extremely empathetic, sympathetic, supportive and a delight to work with, even through the traumas of selling a house (staging, anyone??!) What was also clear is that throughout her career she has gathered a team around herself of individuals who are as dedicated, professional, responsive and efficient as she is herself. For example, we had to re-carpet our large home; replace windows; refinish woodwork; and for each of these her team found reliable, efficient and cost-effective solutions, with all these jobs finished within a matter of days. Her office staff are equally responsive: when another realtor set off our house alarm by arriving without an appointment, Halin actually dropped everything and went over herself to sort things out for us! We particularly appreciated the pragmatism that both Kathy and her team showed (particularly Linda, for which a personal shout-out), in advising us where to commit our time and resources, and where we could scale back, in order to get the maximum from the investment we were willing to put into the selling process. Even the dreaded staging was conducted with respect, pragmatism, professionalism and efficiency; and with an added responsiveness that went beyond the call of duty, as it had to be done to such tight timelines. Throughout the open houses, receiving of offers, and coming to contract closure we were similarly delighted with the extraordinary smoothness of the transactions, and the speed and quality of results. Watching Kathy 'do her thing' during the offers meeting was a sight to behold: I have never felt more confident - and relieved - to have such an important negotiation in another person's hands. She is truly remarkably good at what she does. A personal note to end: throughout what is not the easiest experience one ever goes through, I am particularly grateful that not only was Kathy all that I could hope for from a realtor; she has also become a friend. There is no higher accolade that one can give.

After my parents passed, I had to sell the home I grew up in in San Jose, CA. I interviewed several realtors but never felt the connection I was looking for. Then I found a flyer, did some research, and called Andy and Ben. From our first meeting I knew they were the right choice -- genuine, trustworthy, and compassionate. They didn't just list the house -- they managed the entire process from start to finish. They coordinated: Cleanup and preparation Repairs and construction work Landscaping and restoration of my mom's garden Contractors and scheduling A detailed timeline with constant updates They provided a clear plan showing exactly what would be done and when, and they stuck to it. There were no surprises and they kept me informed every step of the way. Even more impressive, there were no upfront costs -- everything was handled through escrow at closing, which removed a huge amount of stress during a difficult time. Because of their networking and local knowledge of the area, they found a direct buyer before the home even hit the market, and it sold at top dollar! Andy and Ben truly went above and beyond. They treated my parents' home with care and respect, even planting beautiful new flowers in my mother's garden. I'm incredibly grateful for how smoothly they handled such an emotional process. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who wants professionals that genuinely care and take full responsibility for the job. -- Joe R.

She is very knowledgeable, honest, straight forward, reliable, and not in the least bit pushy. She really is a pleasure to work with. Nancy combined her understanding of our desired home features with her knowledge of Los Altos neighborhoods, schools and city building codes, ideal lot dimensions, home remodel-ability, etc. to give us great advice. The market was in a newish downward trend at the time we were looking. Nancy recognized this and suggested we bid under list. We did, and we got the house we wanted at a fair price! Once we closed escrow, Nancy continued her quality service by organizing estimates and booking services such as new carpet installation, roofing and tree trimming services and a handyman.

Their dedication and hands-on approach were absolutely key to making this sale happen -- especially during one of the toughest times to sell as a homeowner. These two are pure magic.
