Collective Real Estate specializes in hard-to-find home buying, multifamily investment, and redevelopment properties.

Relentless focus on client service, a tenacity to overcome obstacles, and an innovative approach to negotiation has enabled Troy Hinds to become one of the most creative, competent, and trusted real estate agents in Santa Cruz County.

We believe real estate requires local knowledge and cultivated relationships to quickly respond and effectively tackle a variety of matters. What sets us apart is not what we do, but how we do it. We think differently, we see unrealized potential, and we tackle challenges collaboratively in order to produce tremendous outcomes for our clients.

A home is all about you. It’s about your life, it’s about your hopes and dreams, it’s about your routine as well as your community. We want to know exactly what you want and we won’t stop until we find the one.

Home is where the heart is, but finding the right home can be a challenge. Through creativity and ingenuity, over 30% of the properties that we track down for Buyers are found off-market. Whether you want help to overcome the sea of obstacles to home ownership, you are searching for that perfect fixer upper, or you want to sell your property we are here to help.

Commercial real estate includes retail space, office buildings, industrial land, and multifamily apartments totaling five or more units. Commercial property transactions operate under their own regulations, contract timelines, lending guidelines, and buyer criteria.

In Santa Cruz County, buying and selling multifamily property necessitates an in-depth discussion of your investment criteria. Troy has repeatedly exceeded client expectations over a wide array investment property. He has completed real estate transactions in both the buying and selling of commercial, multifamily, hospitality, retail, office, as well as a wide array of non-conforming and mixed-use properties.

In addition to being a REALTOR®, Troy Hinds has extensive experience in real estate investment and development. His background enables him to help his clients identify potential opportunities, discover unknown value, facilitate proper due diligence, and outline a successful strategy for development.

By leveraging our cross-disciplinary expertise, deep local knowledge, and long-standing industry relationships, we guide our clients though the entire development life-cycle including acquisition, development, and disposition. Delivering a home which the neighborhood is proud to accept for years to come is what Collective Real Estate considers to be a success.
