My husband and I were relocated to the Salt Lake City area from Michigan and had no knowledge of the area. Tricia was helpful, and gave us a lot of her time on a very short notice to help us find the perfect home for us. She was honest, straightforward and gave us quality referrals for schools, and lenders. I would highly recommend her services.
Tricia really cared. She helped me feel no pressure when we looked at homes that didn't feel right. When we did decide on a home, she was very aware of the process and guided us patiently. Tricia also saved us a lot of money with her thoughtful negotiations. Thanks Tricia!!
Tricia was fantastic to work with! I drove cross country from New England to the Salt Lake City area with the goal of purchasing a vacation home. Prior to this, I only briefly spoke with Tricia on the phone about my objective. When I arrived, the first thing I had to contend with was my vehicle breaking down and no rental vehicles available. Tricia graciously picked me up from my hotel and drove me around during the few days my vehicle was being worked on in order to look at properties. She also went out of her way to help coordinate very short-notice appointments for contractors and other specialty services I needed to consult with on properties of interest since I had some very specific and tricky criteria with my property requirements. She has great knowledge of the area and was able to quickly orient me to locations that fit my needs and desires. I really couldn't have asked for more and in the end my plan came together perfectly! I highly recommend Tricia to anyone searching for property around Salt Lake City.
We bought one home and sold another with Tricia, and would highly recommend her as a realtor. She was very honest, professional, and responsive over the course of both transactions.
Tricia was very focused on making the experience of selling our home a good one - she let us call the shots and provided us with all the information we needed to make informed decisions throughout the whole process. She is very friendly, intelligent and professional which is a great combination for a Realtor. I would recommended Tricia again and again.
Tricia Vanderkoi saved my wife and me over $67,000 on the buying and selling of three houses since April 2016. She is by far the best Real Estate Agent that I have ever met. Tricia educates you and is extremely patient as she brokers the purchase or sale of your property. The last house Tricia sold for us was on the market for only 3 days, had 38 viewings and 8 serious offers above the listing price. At one point there were 12 adults looking with at least 4 realtors. I know this because I was watching from across the street. I will most definitely use Tricia as my Real Estate Agent again. The most important lesson Tricia taught us was that selling or buying a house is just the beginning of the adventure, and that you had better have an expert Real Estate Agent guiding you.
Tricia did an outstanding job as our buyer's agent. My husband 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 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).

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!
