We found Troy after a week of intense searching online for the best agents in Marin. We interviewed several but at the end of the day, Troy's background and personality were the best fit for us. Buying a home in this market is literally one of the hardest things to do. However, with Troy's knowledge and tenacity, he found us an amazing home. We utilized Troy and Colby to search for and visit numerous properties from Fairfax to Petaluma. They were ALWAYS accommodating to our schedules and answered a million of our questions as properties became available. They were FANTASTIC! Always staying positive and reassuring us that we would find the right home. That was really comforting as searching for homes in this competitive market was really stressful. So grateful for their kindness, expertise and time.

Choosing a realtor is a hard decision. We evaluated multiple realtors, many of whom are close friends, prior to choosing Troy. He immediately stood out as the person we wanted. I believe Troy has lived in Marin since the Roaring Twenties...or at least his experience leads us to believe so. He knows all the neighborhoods. He sees the trends. He recognizes value. Buying in 2021 was not easy. Demand far outpaced supply. We fortunately started shopping a few weeks before others. We quickly looked through listings in our preferred neighborhoods that matched our needs and price range. From there, we saw all these listings over two days, reviewing the various disclosures in the process. We had a deadline, as our lease was ending, and we knew the market was only going to get hotter. We needed to gather a lot of information, review it, and act quickly, as good listings were in contract within days. Troy lead this process and helped us get in contract on a great house. The closing process had some hiccups in the last few days. Troy was on-point to address these issues and get us over the finish line. He had a cool head (even when we didn't) and was available 24/7 to jump on anything we needed. We eventually will move again, and we fully intend to use Troy for the sale of this house and the purchase of the next.

What a joy working with Troy! Efficient and Effective...we ended up with our dream house! This was a particularly unusual deal but Troy was up to the challenge. He communicated with the other broker and negotiated a reasonable price that was a win-win for everyone.

Troy is a top producer for a very good reason: he knows what he's doing. As someone who lives in the area and has been a realtor for many years, he knows the market extremely well. For our purchase he did his homework before each showing and was always well-prepared. He is also extremely client-centered: he listened carefully to what we wanted, never tried to hurry us along in our decision-making, gave his considered opinion when asked, and was always calm, positive, and forward-looking. We also know that the house we ultimately purchased (and love) could not have happened without his behind-the-scenes negotiating, fact-finding, and problem-solving. We liked and respected him so much, in fact, that he is in the process of selling my girlfriend's home. I have no hesitation in giving Troy the highest recommendation.

I have had plenty of experience buying properties over the last 20 years, but was not sure what to expect with selling for the very first time. Troy and his assistant provided me with clear communication from the beginning of the process to the very end. Personally, a timeline was important so that I could understand what to expect when different aspects came into play. Troy had helpful recommendations on pricing and staging, as well as advice on where to spend (or not spend) money to make the property look and feel more presentable for selling. In an uncertain world - he immediately made things more certain. When I sell my next property, I will certainly be contacting Troy to do the listing!

After interviewing several viable realtors to assist us in selling our condo, we selected Troy Luchessi and we were so glad we did! He has the expertise, responsiveness and cheerful attitude we were looking for. From the very beginning he provided us information on the current market, made recommendations on staging our unit and ultimately led us to a favorable outcome. We were kept in the loop at all times during the process and all of our questions were answered promptly and clearly. If Troy was unavailable, Colby Coppage was always there to answer our questions whether it be early in the morning, after hours or on the weekends! Our condo was on the market during three major holidays and Colby tirelessly held open houses during those holiday weekends just in case the right buyer should happen by. We highly recommend the Troy-Colby Team at Vanguard. They work well together and together they work with their clients effectively and efficiently to provide the best possible outcome. We thank Troy and Colby for a job very well done!

When it came time to sell my home in Sonoma, I was looking for a realtor who knew the area. Troy was referred to me, and from the minute we met, I knew he was the right realtor for me. He really listens and knows how to get the most for your home... he offers helpful tips and advises on where to spend your money for the biggest bang for your buck. He is aggressive in marketing your home, and knows the market well enough to hep advise on pricing the home, and when to take action. If you are looking for a great, knowledgable realtor, you should definitely work with Troy! You will not be disappointed.

OMG where should I start? Troy had been sharing listings with us for over 9 months. When we were finally ready to buy, we had a very specific area, specific number of rooms, specific layout, specific price point in a very limited market. Troy basically found the needle in the haystack! Early one morning I received a text saying we should go to the broker open house on a property that just opened up. Two days later Troy and his associate, Colby Coppage put together an air-tight offer to the owner. It is thanks to their willingness to move on a dime that we were able to purchase a very sought after property. The Troy-Colby Team at Vanguard provided the expert advice and confidence we needed. We highly recommend this team!

Troy found an amazing deal in a great neighborhood just before it hit the market. I got a great price on the perfect house and swooped the deal. Thanks Troy.

Troy is a "real" real estate agent. He worked with us to find the exact kinds of property we were looking for - an architectural house in a dynamic location with soul that needed reconstruction. Troy has his own amazing personal style and so with confidence he is able to recommend and navigate real estate acquisitions that have good bones. Troy and his team strongly know the details of the Bay Area market and work efficiently to secure financing, negotiate and execute the process.

Troy is a knowledgeable and caring realtor who understands the needs of his clients very well. He is approachable, enthusiastic, charming, thoughtful, and very professional.

We couldn’t be happier with Troy as our realtor.
