"Troy was an incredible agent to work with in purchasing a home in Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz. He has deep local knowledge, and really took his time to get to know me, and what I cared about. We took our time and looked at about a dozen houses, and after each one Troy would incorporate my feedback, and made sure we were only looking at houses that met all my criteria. When it was finally time to put in offers, Troy's strengths really shined. He was incredibly detail oriented, stayed on top of every part of the process, and was an excellent negotiator. He went above and beyond in helping me move into the house, introduced me to many of my neighbors (that he already knew), and owned getting painters, contractors, plumbers, etc to the house in the first week after the sale closed. Would absolutely want to work with Troy again, and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a house in the Santa Cruz area."
