Testimonials from our clients
“As a review, we were looking for a home with an excellent school system in a family oriented community for our two sons, Eric and John. We met at an open house and over the next two months saw many homes. We couldn’t seem to find the “right’ home in the “right” community. One day from an “open house”, you called us with a new listing you thought might be of interest. We met later that afternoon and loved the home. We competed with multiple offers and won acceptance with our large down payment. What a wonderful birthday present, the perfect home in a perfect location. Next you guided and supported us through the escrow process and we closed a month later.
We have owned the home for about a month now and we love it … and you are still providing excellent support!
Working with a true professional real estate team is a great experience.”

“As you know, I had been looking for a home on-and-off for the past several years, but had not found the perfect home. Because of a demanding career, the time that I was able to devote to my search was limited. Several times I had re-engaged in my search both with and without the help of realtors. However, I quickly became frustrated with the poor quality of many homes and neighborhoods, the high prices and the competitive bidding process for the best homes.
I recently decided to renew my search, and like many buyers found a couple of homes on the internet that seemed interesting. My Mom suggested that I give you a call, and I’m glad that I did. My search criteria was to find a home that could be expanded, on a large lot and in a good school system for my family. I also wanted to find a home that had been remodeled and would not require much work. Over the first weekend you helped me find the perfect home, which had been listed just a few days before. We competed with multiple offers and won acceptance with a well thought out strategy. Next you guided and supported me through the escrow process which closed just 16 days later!
I appreciate not only your ability to help me find the perfect home, but also your diligence and the experience and judgment that you used to guide me through each step of the home buying process (particularly as a first time home buyer).
I have owned the home for about a month now and love it … and you are still providing excellent support!
Working with a true professional real estate team is a great experience.”

“I recently had the opportunity to work with Fran and Gil on a transaction in Saratoga. I have to say that it was truly refreshing to work with a couple who are so enthusiastic. They attended to every detail, constantly monitoring the progress of the entire transaction, and more importantly sharing information with all parties with a need to know. Everyone involved really seemed to appreciate the value of such an important skill.
As an Escrow Officer, I thoroughly enjoyed working with two agents who are so in tune with process of making real estate transaction come together. I look forward to teaming up with the Troutman’s again. And, if I can be of any service to you as potential sellers or buyers, please do not hesitate to call me.”
