Tricia Vanderkooi

Tricia was very responsive throughout the whole experience and was always on top of it. Her knowledge was unmatched and we truly felt safe and secure with her. It was our first buying journey and she made it so much more pleasant.

This was our second time working with Tricia. 5 years ago she helped us find out first house which was the perfect fit for our little family. This time around she helped us find a much needed upgrade in space and location. She was also extremely helpful in fighting for us when issues came up in the transaction. We made it to closing and I'm not sure we would have without Tricia's help!

Tricia was absolutely incredible throughout our entire home-buying experience! As first-time home buyers, we truly had no idea what we were doing and had a million questions. Tricia was always there to answer every single one, and she had a way of explaining things in a way that actually made sense to us and never made us feel silly for asking. She fought for us, advocated for us, and guided us every step of the way. I honestly didn’t want to make a decision without getting her input because I trusted her advice and knew she always had our best interests in mind. She was also so incredibly accommodating with our hectic schedules. No matter how many times we had to work around our schedules or change things around, she never once made it feel like an inconvenience. She was always flexible, understanding, and willing to work with us. Everyone told us that buying your first home would be scary and stressful, but honestly, it wasn’t—and I truly believe that’s because Tricia took care of everything and made sure we always knew what was going on. She celebrated every win with us, gave us so much insight and advice, and made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel exciting and manageable. We are so incredibly grateful that we had Tricia by our side and could not recommend her enough to anyone looking to buy a home, especially first-time home buyers!

We can’t recommend Tricia enough! This was our second time working with her, and once again she exceeded every expectation. She is phenomenal, incredibly persistent, and truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Her knowledge of the market and strategic approach gave us confidence throughout the entire process. She always had our best interests in mind and worked tirelessly to help us achieve our goals. We will absolutely continue recommending Tricia to all of our friends and family. If you’re looking for a realtor who is experienced, dedicated, and genuinely cares, Tricia is the one!

Super intelligent and insightful.

Finding the "right" real estate agent can feel overwhelming. There are SO many of them. Everyone seems to know one that is "nice." And while "nice" is a quality I hope to find in all, most people are nice. What I wanted when I went in search of someone to help me sell my home was someone with demonstrated sales experience with a large number of people across decades, preferably in my local market. I wanted someone who knew the market, knew the laws, and knew people and how to negotiate with them to get me the best possible outcome. I wanted someone to look out for me while at the same time doing it ethically. Like many of you, I was given names from friends and acquaintances. I researched them online--number of years in the profession, number of sales, the average house values most of the sales were, the markets where most sales took place, etc. After reviewing those, I targeted my search on agents in my local market using AI. I was given 25 pages of agents and their data. And yes, I did go through all 25 pages of agents, highlighting the ones that stood out based on the criteria already mentioned. Tricia landed at the top. I spent a long time reading client reviews of her work. Now on the other side, having sold my house with her help, I can enthusiastically concur with the praise I read in the reviews that led me to seek her expertise. She is the real deal. When you pick her, you can rest easy knowing that she is your advocate. She is out there working on your behalf to both get you the outcome that you want while at the same time steer you to avoid potentially troubling situations you want to avoid. At every step in the process, Tricia was present to help, even when that was sometimes just letting me vent about the emotional nature of selling the house. And yes, Tricia was nice too.
