We happily recommend Mike and his team at Troyer & Cabot! We worked with them on the sale of my mom's townhome after she passed away. 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! read more

I am happy to recommend the Troyer and Cabot team. Everyone we worked with in this group was outstanding in terms of communication and professionalism. Their advice for renovation and staging was spot on and we had several offers over asking for our condo. All paperwork was handled in a timely and flawless way. We are very happy with the sale and grateful to have worked with this team of experts. read more

David Troyer has been our trusted realtor for over ten years. A true Los Altos area expert, he consistently ranks among the top realtors in Los Altos/Mountain View, California, and nationwide! I first met David at an open house. His deep knowledge of the area, the specific house, and the overall market immediately impressed me. Unlike a typical salesperson, David wasn't pushy. He focused on our needs and helped us find the perfect upgrade house without pressure. That fantastic experience cemented his position as our go-to realtor. David's genuine care and dedication extend far beyond the closing. His expertise, interpersonal skills, and results, whether acting as a listing or selling agent, have earned my unwavering respect. I highly recommend David Troyer and his team as they consistently deliver exceptional services!!! read more

It was an absolute pleasure to work with David and his team! We recently sold our townhouse in Mountain View with David's and his team's help and it was the smoothest and most painless experience we could have dreamt of! We were selling our first house, so we didn't exactly know what to watch for / what to focus on / how to navigate current market. David not only spent his time talking through with us about the best timing for the sale, and the best approach to setting the price, but his team also guided us through all the decision about what improvements we should invest in, how we should be evaluating the offers, and how we should be approaching making the final decision. All the paperwork process was painless and optimized for our schedule, and we couldn't have been more happy with David's and his team's work! read more

To be fair, we didn't actually end up meeting David. Contacted him to evaluate our home. Booked an appointment, which he confirmed. On the morning of our appointment, 15 minutes before he was scheduled to be at our home, he cancelled via text, citing an illness, and said he'd reach out in a day or two to reschedule. People don't just realize 15 minutes before an appointment that they aren't feeling well. At a minimum, even if you give one the benefit of the doubt that they were trying to make the appointment until the very end, that is use of questionable judgment, particularly coming off of COVID. Poor communication. I expressed my dissatisfaction via text regarding the wasting of my time and entire morning, planned around this meeting, and stated this may not be a compatible fit if this is how he conducts business. His response was that it was his intention to come until he felt he physically couldn't and wished me well in my future real estate endeavors. To me, accountability looks like this: "Hey, first off, I sincerely apologize for wasting your time this morning. How can I make up for this?" Not, "Hey, these are the reasons I couldn't make it and I'll let you know in the next few days when we can reschedule." From all accounts, he's an accomplished veteran of real estate. My experience with him didn't match my expectations and it left me disappointed. read more

I recently closed escrow on the sale of my home with David Troyer as my listing agent. I could not be happier with the outcome. When you list your home with David not only do you get one of the top agents working for you, you also get access to his team of brokers, agents, escrow managers, marketing managers, and project managers. In short a team that will ensure your property will show at its absolute highest potential when it hits the market and all of the details of the transaction will be handled in a professional manner. Prior to listing, we performed an extensive upgrade and modernization of the house; the cost for these improvements was on me of course, but having access to David's network of professional contractors and other specialists allowed this project to be completed on a very short timeline. I would not hesitate to recommend David and the Troyer Group to anyone considering listing their home. read more

My friend referred me to David Troyer. Unlike other realtors I met, David is very subtle, down to the earth and very humble. David gave me advice how to quickly package my house before sale, includes remodeling and staging. All I need to do is to approve the proposal, his extended teams will handle the rest. I was in hurry to sell, hence set up an unrealistic deadline. From moving out of my house to final sale, it only took less than 30 days. The house David presented to the sellers are amazing. My friends say that they couldn't recognize that's my old house! And we received 7 offers and close to 300k over the asking price. I have learned and benefited so much from this selling experience. David's team did way and beyond to help me on this sale. I can't thank this amazing team enough. David, Tina, Debbie, Baidra, Kathy and Leina. Thank you so much. You guys are truly the best in Los Altos. Highly recommended without a doubt. Honest and highly professional. You can't go wrong with them. read more

We highly recommend David's team ( Tina, Baidra, Laina and David). They recently helped us with the sale of our home in Los Altos. To summarize, David and his team are: - very professional and understated - responsive and easy to work with - highly knowledgeable and effective - of high integrity As we went through the process of listing and selling the home, there were decisions ( when to list the house, price, prep work, staging, design etc) to be made and things to get done. David's team was always available to help and guide us along the way. Given their experience and professionalism, we largely took a hands-off approach (knowing that we were in good hands ). They had a clear plan for execution and were always ahead of what's next. This can only happen through experience and commitment to excellence. When you work with a team that does many transactions, there is always a concern that you might not be able to receive the attention needed for your home. Our experience with David's team was far from it. We felt like we were their only client. Baidra, Tina, and Laina were always a step ahead and always available ( phone, text, email ). Similarly, when something needed David's attention, he responded promptly, was well prepared, and we felt reassured with his advice. There is a distinction between doing the right thing vs doing things right. With David's team, throughout the process, we felt the whole team was doing the right thing and not just doing things right. Thank you, Baidra, Tina, Laina and David!! read more

My wife and I closed our new house with David Troyer and his amazing team almost exactly a year ago, and after enjoying the year-long monthly subscription of Harry and David fruit boxes that they gifted us afterwards, I definitely wanted to write this review. From our very first meeting back in the fall of 2018 to the close of both transactions, David and his team were nothing short of exemplary. We worked with them on the buying side (we purchased a home first), and then on the selling side (we sold our old home second). Both processes were extremely smooth, and David and his team get superb marks for communication, organization, clarity, honestly, swiftness, and friendliness. For example, the renovations to our old house were not only completed shockingly quickly, but on time, and *under budget*. I honestly don't know what could have been done better. A big thank you to David, Lisa, Debbie, Tina, Laina, Baidra, and everyone else on the team! read more

David Troyer was our agent when we recently sold our home in Los Altos, where we lived for 33+ years. Although we did not meet with David over the years we lived in Los Altos, we were familiar with his agency mostly through the informative Los Altos Real Estate Reviews that he publishes quarterly or annually. The brochure entitled "GUIDE TO SELLING YOUR LOS ALTOS HOME" has been of interest to us, and especially when the time came for selling our Los Altos property, The brochure provides an excellent outline of the sale timeline and conveys that a strong team approach is required to successfully support the sale process. We contacted two other real estate agents in addition to David. We were very impressed by David and the other two agents. What ultimately made us choose David was not only David's personality and knowledge, but also the organization and strength of the team that is providing support to him. From the beginning to the end, we received valuable recommendations with regard to preparing and staging the house while the team members took care of the actual contractual arrangements, marketing brochures and dissemination, while, at the same, guiding us in properly filling the various forms related to miscellaneous disclosures. David's predictions of how the sale would likely unfold came true. During the entire time, we were kept informed. Sale and escrow closure occurred on the forecasted days. If you wish to sell your house, this is the way to do it. It takes a team and David leads and provides it. read more

We recently worked with Team Troyer to sell our home. Everyone involved was excellent and they handled all the details from beginning to end. His project manager Debbie was knowledgeable, detail oriented and did a fantastic job managing the multitude of contractors tasked with our kitchen upgrade, interior painting, bathroom work, lighting, staging and landscaping. All of the individuals on David's team were wonderful and did their jobs seamlessly, communicating with us throughout the process. I highly recommend David Troyer and his team! read more

David and his team were absolutely outstanding from start to finish!! I recently sold my mother's home while living three thousand miles away -- not an easy task and needless to say could have been a nerve wracking experience. But . . . with David and his team it was a seamless transaction!! From arranging for contractors, to staging, to marketing it went perfectly! As a real estate broker myself for over two decades, I know a good Realtor when I see one -- David and his team are top notch!!! read more

We used David and his team to sell our townhouse in Mountain View. They staged the house and it looked fantastic. We sold our house in less than two weeks for over asking price. Every step of the way was handled professionally, everything was on time to the day and hour. I have bought and sold 6 houses in my lifetime and I've never had a better experience with a realtor. read more

We had an excellent experience with David and his team in selling our home. Every aspect of the process was professionally managed on our behalf, including preparing our home for sale, listing, sale and close. David and his team were readily available and providing insight and guidance in all areas throughout the process. Specifically, the suite of services and support we received from David and his team was outstanding, especially in light of the fact that we were both working full time with limited availability. David's team managed home preparation contractors, moving resources, moving sale and even the disposition of "stuff" we couldn't take. Services included beautiful staging, photography and marketing materials. His team's expertise and guidance helped us with all the documentation preparation and execution. And, David thoroughly understands the Los Altos market which was key to both our decision to sell and the results. We highly recommend David Troyer and his team! read more

David Troyer and his utmost professional team is second to none. I am a non-practicing real estate broker of 30+ years and David sold my house after listed it for 2 days in a challenging market. I have never met a team as conscientious, honest and hard-working as the Troyer Group. David follows through every minor details and I would not hesitant to recommend him to any prospective customer. read more

David Troyer and his team promise results and OVER deliver! I am a licensed CA Broker who sold real estate in the Bay Area for 30 years. I know a good Broker when I see one having personally interacted with highly successful agents during my real estate career on the Peninsula and in the process of making personal investments. I have known of David's abilities while active in real estate from a competitor's viewpoint and now from a personal viewpoint. David and his team are a well coordinated operation. Every detail was managed efficiently, accurately and professionally including a first class marketing plan and website, staging, inspections, escrow management and timely communications. The entire Troyer team contributed to a sale with six offers over asking price and a smooth close of escrow. I highly recommend David Troyer to anyone expecting excellent representation from the best in the business! read more

I had a great experience working with David and the team of professionals at the Troyer Group. I spent a lot of time researching and interviewing realtors when looking for the right person to sell a Los Altos property. David stood out for his knowledge, professionalism, and expertise. He wasn't pushy like a few of the others, and was honest and straightforward about his entire strategy. I'm glad we signed with him! From listing prep to staging, marketing, negotiating the sale and escrow, David and his team have it all covered. As a first time seller, I had plenty of questions and they were a great help every step of the way. Ashley did a terrific job managing the upgrades, Tina and Baidra did an excellent job making sure all the escrow and paperwork was in order. They were very well organized, knowledgeable and responsive to our concerns. When it came to the sale strategy, David presented us with several options along with his reasoning and realistic expectations for both given the current market conditions. Thanks to his negotiating skills, the property sold with multiple offers above asking (and well over what other local realtors had for ballpark estimates). We hit a few snags on our side but the team made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Highly recommended! Would not hesitate to work with David and the Troyer Group again. read more

As empty nesters, we decided to downsize after living in Los Altos Hills for over 20 years. After interviewing several realtors, David Troyer was in our top two choices. It was a 51/49% decision to go with another realtor. David was extremely professional, gracious, and ethical while we were under contract with another realtor to sell our house. We did not have the same experience with some of the other realtors we interviewed. David's professionalism was the deciding factor in selecting him to represent us on the buy side. Our plan was to rent a home while we looked patiently for the right next home for us. We had very specific desires and requirements. David's deep knowledge with the real estate industry and the South Bay Area really shone. Cathy on his team was extremely responsive in helping us find a rental property. But after two weeks of looking, we unexpectedly came across our next home. David's expertise was very apparent in the negotiation of the price, the terms and conditions, and the timing with our sale transaction. We had a couple of road bumps on the sell side, David was superb in balancing being honest and transparent with our seller vs. over-reacting which would result in anxiety with our seller. Bottomline, we closed escrows on the sell side in the morning and the buy side in the afternoon, one day later than our original contractual date. David was great communicator, generous with his time and extremely responsive. Thanks to Kristen, Baidra, Cathy and Victoria, they were just as responsive and helpful in every step of the process. The Troyer Group is a well integrated execution machine, and also very pleasant to work with in a typically stressful situation. We highly recommend them. read more

David and his team were outstanding. Far exceeded our expectations and obtained a full cash offer well above asking price. Highly recommend his services. read more

My wife and I were very satisfied with the work done by the entire team at The Troyer Group. We sold our Los Altos Hills home in just a few days, with multiple offers and a fast close. With their constant assistance, advice and assets (like a reliable painter, a skilled handyman and awesome staging co.) we were able to prepare our home for open house in only 4 weeks. Laina the marketing guru kept us appraised of all her efforts and the resulting metrics; Tina helped with early arrangements and expeditiously handled all the later escrow-related paperwork; and Debbie held our hands throughout the process, there for us no matter the question or challenge faced. David was the primary agent and was capably backed up by Baidra during the well-attended three days of open house. Never once did we feel pressured by David to make the sale or accept a price below our target. It was obvious that he was a total expect concerning every aspect of our town and its past and present market conditions. The entire process was made as easy and pleasant as it could possibly have been, due to the competent and principled team at the Troyer Group. Thanks David and Team! read more

I've known David for several years now in different contexts. I own a home on the Mountain View / Los Altos border and David has sold the majority of homes in our neighborhood. Having gone to several of his open houses, I've always found him to be professional, clear in his communication, and impressive in his marketing of the homes. When it came time to sell my house, the very first person I reached out to was David. He immediately came to my home to help me understand how much we could sell the home for and how we could market the home to make sure it got the most attention. After interviewing 3 other agents, it was clear to me that David would be the agent that I chose. He was always very detailed in his responses and the first to respond when I had a question. While I decided on a private sale, David was still VERY generous with his time in helping me set up inspections and advising me on what you felt was a fair price for the property. I definitely appreciated his expertise and never hesitated to answer any of my questions candidly. I would recommend David to anybody looking to buy or sell a home. read more

Highly recommended real estate team. They helped us with strategy and timing advice for selling our home, took care of all the staging and clean-up, and handled a surprisingly active bidding session with calm expertise. The results surpassed our expectations. David has his finger on the pulse of Silicon Valley real estate, and Mountain View in particular. read more

David Troyer is the best of the best! We had a terrific experience working with David and his team of professionals in selling our house a few months back. He and his team made the daunting process of selling a home as stress-free as can be. From prepping to marketing and showing to closing, everything went smoothly. David's group was very professional, but also warm and easy to communicate with. Any questions we had were met with prompt replies. True to their motto, our home is where their heart is! Highly recommend. read more

We have worked with David to buy our house in Los Altos in a very competitive market. We couldn't be happier with David's professionalism and expert advice. We always felt that he truly tries to make us happy buyers, instead of just making a quick coin. David is an expert on the Los Altos area and exceptionally well connected with other agents. Tina on his team has been a great resource, too. She always follows up diligently and quickly on all items, and was super nice to work with. Bottom line: We highly recommend David & his team for any real estate transaction in the Los Altos area. read more

David Troyer and the entire Troyer group were an amazing team to work with. From the first meeting and throughout the entire process of selling our home in Los Altos, the team was professional, pleasant and always fast to respond to any questions we had. They frequently communicated with us throughout every step and took care of all the details, such as updating areas of our home, staging the furniture, and showing the house to potential buyers. It was a stress free experience and we could not have asked for more. We highly recommend David Troyer. read more

This update from when we have finally gotten into a new home. Though I still feel Troyer Realty did an excellent job of marketing and the sale of our old home, his recommended mover is to be avoided. Hire your own mover for everything. When our things were finally delivered to our new home, we discovered at least a third of our belongings were destroyed. All due to improper packing. Boxes labeled fragile placed under heavy items, bicycles bent, tables broken. No remorse or response to my complaints. A total waste of money. We trusted Troyer Realty's judgement about their mover. Big mistake. Go with them to sell the home, but hire your own workers. read more

We are not a typical client for David, having successfully bought, remodeled/rebuilt and sold multiple houses in the local area over the past 15 years. So we didn't need a lot of handholding on the basics and brought our own resources to the table to prepare the house for listing. Nonetheless, David wholeheartedly partnered with us and added value with well formed perspectives on strategy, market conditions, pricing and even on the smallest details to make the house more appealing to buyers. Moreover, his entire team was incredibly responsive and great to work with. It's hard to find a real estate operation so experienced, well run and easy to work with. read more

It's actually been several years since David helped us buy our home in Mt. View. At the time I had my heart set on a few neighborhoods that we couldn't quite afford.... but David recommended a specific part of Mt. View he thought we would love based on our interests and lifestyle. I was hesitant at first because I thought I knew the area well, and this neighborhood was not on the list of places I wanted to live. However, nearly nine years later, I have to say David was so right!! We LOVE where we live and the longer we live here, the more reasons we find to love it. I'm still so thankful for David's wisdom, expertise and individual attention! He found the perfect spot for us! He really is the best in the business! read more

David and his team were great to work with. After speaking with several agents we selected David to sell our condo. David explained the process and made recommendation on prep work, schedule and price, etc. We started the process just before Christmas and concluded about a month later with a sale. David's team provided services for project management, packing, decorating, appliance installation, staging and cleaning. Each member of the team was very proficient and effective. Thanks to David's team we had several qualified offers to select from and were able to complete the sale ahead of our schedule. read more

He might be awesome if he's your agent. But if you buy a property from him, that's a different scenario. I recently bought a house from him in los altos area. After close of escrow, we moved in and started to see issues that were not disclosed. Fridges are not working, leaks (water dripping from living room ceiling), mold, exhaust pipe is disconnected leaving a big gap, etc. I tried to raise the issue but no response from him/his team. I don't expect him to fix all the issues, but at least a decent courtesy to check things out. But, nothing. Bottom line, he/his team is great to work with BEFORE close of escrow (thus, the 2 stars). I can't vouch the same AFTER. read more

We have worked with lots of real estate agents but never had such bad experience as with The David Troyer Group. Although our experience only relates to a rental agreement, this company is totally not trustworthy. After having an agreement with the owners, Baidra of David Troyer Group advised us to give notice to our current landlords immediately to avoid having to pay double rent. The agreement was made up and ready to be signed and then nothing was heard anymore. Day after day we called with Liz, Baidra and David of thr Troyergroup and only after a week of total silence let us know that they rented it to another party although they had been telling us all along that we were the first ones on the list. This now leaves us without a house which is not what you expect from a trustworthy real estate agent. read more

We worked with David to sell our house in Mountain View (just closed escrow today), and couldn't be any happier with the results and the service we received from David and his team -- from sitting down with us to carefully explore our options (we were debating whether to sell or rent out our home), arranging for stagers, painters, and landscaping, and doing an absolutely outstanding job with marketing the house, everything was first class. Living in Mountain View, we would periodically receive marketing materials in the mail from David regarding homes he had listed, or recent sales in the area. It was clear to me that David understands how to effectively market a house. David and his team put together a great video tour of our house, which really was a nice personal touch. The brochure was also beautiful. We had the added challenge of selling the house while out of town (having moved away from the Bay Area), but David and his team made everything easy and painless. Although we originally were debating whether to rent out the house or sell, we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Thanks to David's strategic marketing of the home, we ended up receiving multiple (10!) offers, and selling for well above asking. I couldn't recommend David and his team any higher. read more

Over the years I had been impressed by the quality of David's teams' flyers/marketing, so I knew I was going to look him up when I was ready to sell. I evaluated some other realtors but the decision to go with him was easy for me. David's group did an excellent job preparing and selling my house. He and his team guided me through the updating and selling process, working quickly and efficiently. The posts calling the process "turnkey" are exactly right - I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth and easy it was. I was very happy with the outcome and highly recommend David and his group! read more

I wasted 2 days communicating with this guy, he kept changing his terms and prices.

David Troyer Review We spent a lot of time selecting a real estate agent to sell our home and looked for broad and objective criteria. It seems every real estate firm has a metric making them #1 - so that's not a good criteria. That said, David demonstrated an in depth detailed understanding of our area, and the nuances of marketing our home. David and his team are good listeners and responsive to our feedback. David discussed issues in depth, and then was able to quickly make recommendations and decisions. The day we engaged them, things started happening. When we needed to doing something sooner - they made it happen. This was essential because we had already moved out of state. While our house had many desirable features, certain elements required serious updating to jump to the next price bracket. Their team came up with an extensive makeover plan, a budget and schedule ALL of which were executed without a hitch and without any extra effort on our part. Bottom line: 5 weeks of renovations; 7 days on MLS, multiple offers, closed 7 days later. David's team made it seem easy - we know it takes exceptional talent to pull this off with finesse. read more

We hired David and his team to sell my parents' house in Los Altos. David and his team made the whole process very easy, from deciding what improvements to make and actually scheduling and coordinating the various vendors. I only met with David once in person and his team took care of everything from start to close of escrow. A seamless process! read more

We used Mini Kalkat (part of the Troyer team) to purchase a home in Los Altos recently and then used David, Mini and the Troyer team to sell our townhome in Mountain View and couldn't be happier with both transactions. They well exceeded our expectations on every level. On the buy side, Mini and David are extremely knowledgeable in the area and have incredible insights (e.g., see David's real estate update videos for a glimpse) that proved to be invaluable in determining just the right price and terms needed to be the winning offer in this seller's market. In preparing our place to sell, David and his team handled everything from cleaning, painting, hiring a handyman to fix a few items, window washing, staging, videos, brochures, floor plans, etc. They made everything totally stress free on us, which was critical because we are both extremely busy not to mention we were just moving into a new place and carrying two mortgages so wanted to sell quickly and of course, at the highest price possible. If you're looking to buy or sell a place, we highly recommend going with David Troyer and his team. read more

We used David Troyer and the Troyer team recently to purchase a new home in Los Altos and sell our old home in Mountain View. David, Tina, and Debbie made the experience pleasant and as smooth as possible! I have no hesitation recommending David to anyone looking to buy or sell in MV/LAH/LA. He is also well regarded by other agents in the local area, and many people enjoy the neighborhood real estate updates he sends out regularly. We found David's insight into the local market very valuable, and his low-key approach and consummate professionalism suited us very well. He is patient, listens and understands clients' needs, and was quite accommodating to our circumstances and desires. His team, especially Debbie and Tina, took care of all the details in prepping our home for sale on a very short timeline. We appreciated the meticulousness to ensure everything was taken care of on both the buy and sell transactions, and to our complete satisfaction. All in all, a superb experience! read more

We had two great experiences with the Troyer group. Mini helped buy a house in Los Altos and sell our place Palo Alto, together with David and the Troyer team. If you are looking for someone in this area, I cannot recommend anyone more enthusiastically. The words that come to mind to describe Mini are friendly, professional, hardworking and trustworthy. But what made her really stand out to us was how thoughtful she was in getting to know us as a family, and how to find a home that would best suit our needs. This was evident throughout our buying process, from the styles of houses she chose to send our way, through to the recommendations for interior designers and contractors once we had bought a house. Mini and David are a wonderful partnership, and together with the broader Troyer team made the entire process seem easy and efficient. read more

AMAZING! Not sure where to start. The Troyer Group led by David Troyer knows their business and his professional Team is completely dedicated to helping their clients. We feel lucky to have been one. David helped us successfully sell our home in Los Altos, CA. Before choosing a realtor, we conducted extensive market research to see who would be the best choice for us based on the investment they make into selling the property (time and effort, not necessarily financially) and how they promote listings. David and his firm stood out by far as the best Los Altos had to offer: his social media presence was extremely strong, and we could tell he put a lot of work into his listings. We spoke with David first and then met with him at our home. He and his team spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. We were concerned that our house would take awhile to sell because of the 2021 COVID pandemic. David made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should), like giving us staging tips, having professional photographs taken, video, websites and a lot more. When we saw our listing we were blown away. The Troyer Group's hard work and knowledge of the local market and what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. During the selling process, communications were excellent on every step of the process and we knew exactly what was happening on a real-time basis. The result: we received a strong offer for our asking price with no contingencies. We have recommended The Troyer Group to everyone we know. David and his Team are true professionals who are passionate about taking care of their clients. They are definitely the Team you want in your corner! We think you'd be hard pressed to find a better team than David Troyer and The Troyer Group!!! read more
