Tricia Vanderkooi with Coldwell Banker Realty was our listing agent during the process of selling our home in Utah. We found Tricia very professional and highly educated on the process of selling our house. She explained the market, reviewed comparable homes and created a marketing strategy to sell our home quickly. She had new photos taken of the home, made changes to the staging, and created a great video showing off all the home had to offer. She took the initiative to schedule “open houses” and worked tirelessly to find potential buyers for our home. Her communication during the process was frequent and very transparent. Once we had a potential offer she worked with us and was our voice during the negotiations. She worked effectively with the buyer’s agent to resolve all of the issues and was very skilled at working through the process. My wife and I have bought and sold many properties in our life and Tricia was one of the most talented agents that we have had an opportunity to work with. My wife and I believe Tricia truly had our best interest in mind and worked with us to sell our home in a timely manner for a great price! We would highly recommend Tricia to anyone selling or buying a home. Sam & Melissa Smith

Tricia was recommended to us by a friend. Our initial meeting with her went very well. She really took the time to listen to what we were looking for, and was honest about the market challenges that we may face. Fortunately, our dream home listed on the market the day we signed our agreement with Tricia. We went to look at it, and made an offer that weekend. Tricia really helped us to negotiate our offer, and was really knowledgeable about the process. We went under contract and closed about 30 days later. Tricia helped us through everything, and was there at our signing to congratulate us. Our time was short with her, but we still feel that we were in great hands!

We contacted Tricia to be our agent because I had friends who had her as an agent and said she works hard and is flexible in showing homes on wacky schedules. My work schedule allowed us to only view homes in the evening. When my wife and I came to Tricia we had a few "strict" wants that we felt we needed. We were specific about the city we wanted to live in, we wanted at least .20 acres of yard, a house big enough to raise three kids in, and visits to be made after 5:00 PM Mon-Fri. Tricia never questioned what we wanted and supported us. We were new to home buying since it was our first home. She gave us the knowledge on potential home dangers, like radon. She also turned us in the right direction for great local companies that do home inspections and other helpful tips. We never felt pressure from Tricia to just, "Settle" with a home. Even when we said we wanted one of the homes she took us through, her first words were, "I'm glad you feel like you have found a home. Would you like to go through it again to make sure this is your final choice?" We of course said, "Yes." She is also really good at negotiating with the sellers and making sure we got a home in good condition without us needing to do the fixing ups. Tricia is honest, trustworthy, and definitely has your best interest in mind. I feel that anyone else who uses Tricia as their agent can share a similar experience, as this one, after they go through the process with her.

Updated review from 2018: Tricia has helped us with 3 transactions now, buying a house when we moved to the area, selling that house a few years later, and buying another house in the same neighborhood. Through all this, we have been thoroughly impressed with her skills. She gave us great, impartial advice each time, and was quick to respond to questions. For more, see our previous review below.... Here is our previous review from 2016: Tricia did an outstanding job as our buyer's agent. My wife and I are probably more "type A" than most buyers, and Tricia was a perfect fit for us. She was on-time, prompt, and paid close attention to detail (a trait which many realtors we've worked with in the past have lacked). I had full confidence in her negotiating ability on our behalf, which gave us some peace of mind despite our transaction having the usual hangups. We wholeheartedly recommend her.

Tricia is a client advocate, very knowledgeable, and an absolute joy to work with. She was so responsive every step of the way and we completed trusted her to help us buy and sell a house (she did each in less than a week!) we would recommend her to anyone in the Salt Lake area!

We were transferred out of state and assigned a relocation company. We interviewed a couple of different agents and Tricia was by far the most knowledgeable and proactive agent. She truly knows the market and knew exactly where our home should be priced. Our home sold quickly and she did an outstanding job of handling the extra requirements that go along with using a relocation company. She is exceptional at communicating and kept us updated and informed throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend Tricia for any of your real estate needs.

We had a very difficult buyer and Tricia worked her magic. We had so many times when it did not seem like the sale was going to go through, but I credit her for her negotiation and communication skills in holding on to the deal! She helped us out a lot.

Tricia exhibited skillful knowledge, regarding the sale of our home. We relocated, due to a career change, and she made the sale very manageable from out of state. She was quick to respond to questions, as well as, efficient in sending documents and contracts in a timely manner. She made sure contract dates would not expire, due to repairs needing to be made, post inspection. She also assisted in finding trained and licensed professionals to complete the repairs. Tricia was very professional in all aspects. I would highly recommend her to assist, with the listing, of any home.

Tricia did everything I could reasonably expect in a Real Estate agent. She has helped me buy a house, and helped me sell one. Both times providing help and advise without pushing or misleading. I would recommend her to family or friends without hesitation.

We had a great experience working with Tricia. We were moving to SLC from out of state and so much of the work had to be done online and via phone call, but she made the whole process still very personable. We brought our children along with us for house hunting, and she wasn't phased by this at all (she even listened to my middle child's interesting requests for a home!). She helped us work with some difficult sellers to get us into our dream home.

We are first time home buyers and had no clue when we first got started. Tricia was very helpful and patient with us. She educated us in every aspect of home buying. From looking to closing was a breeze. She worked with us on our schedule and was very responsive either with text or email. She has been very honest , she communicated everything to us and made sure we understood any issue and it's implications. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Tricia is the best realtor I've ever had the pleasure of working with! I recently lost my husband and she was so sensitive to all my needs and what I was going through. She wasn't pushy like other realtors.. She gave me the time I needed and when I was ready to sell, she got it done on my terms.. Not only that, but she helped me get into a home I never dreamed of owning! I can't believe how easy she made everything for me!
