Testimonials

You couldn’t ask for a better real estate agent. Tricia really knows so much that was advantageous for me selling and buying homes multiple times. For instance, her staging, pricing, and negotiation skills alone increased the amount we sold for by over 10%. Her continued pursuit of excellence in her profession and detailed knowledge of obscure VA loan details opened doors, even at a time when I wasn’t purchasing or selling. Her knowledge of the areas I was interested in and HOA specifics helped me make more informed choices and comparisons, over and over. She is dedicated and easily available, making each part of the process seamless. She exceeded my expectations repeatedly! She goes above and beyond, doing extra work and watching out for my interests. Of course, it’s a complete pleasure to work with her as well. She genuinely cares and is such a great person.

Kathaleen Thorup

Happy in Lehi! Tricia was great! She was very responsive, detail oriented, and knowledgeable. She was also very patient with us. She understood our needs and helped us find the perfect home for us. She worked really well with the selling realtor and we feel that that relationship was what helped us win the bid over other very competitive offers.

Jeremy Wells

Tricia is a true professional. She was very committed to finding a property for us that met very specific needs and requirements. She was extremely knowledgeable in our needs, and went above and beyond for us. We never had to request paperwork, etc because she was always twelve steps ahead of us, and had any requirements needed for the sale completed before we even knew we needed it. She made our buying experience extremely fun, organized, smooth and easy. We highly recommend her.

R. Nielson

This was our 2nd time using Tricia. We looked for quite sometime and looked at so many houses before finally finding our perfect house. It was a long journey but she showed us everything we wanted to look at in a moments notice. She was also able to sell our previous house and another piece of land in just one day! We love Tricia and would recommend her to anyone!

T. Nesbit

Excellent͏ to work with! Tricia͏ made the first time of selling a home the easiest and best experience. She knew the market well, knew how to price our home competitively. She kept us informed of all that was going on and made us feel at ease with a stressful time. We had a great relationship with her, consider her a friend, and will use her again when we are in the market to buy. Highly recommend her!

Rachel Bunnell

We worked with Tricia to sell our home. She is very down to earth, personable and reliable. She kept the whole process moving along and communication was addressed immediately whenever something came up. Tricia was very knowledgeable and had answers to all our questions. We will be working with her in the future! Thanks Tricia!

Tisa Hedman

She keeps you updated, she pays attention to details, she doesn’t let things slide, she is professional, she knows what she’s doing, she’s a bull dog, and she’s nice. It felt like she was selling her own house and cared as much as we did. She was the perfect agent for us.

Mark Hedman

Tricia was with us from the selling of our home to the purchase of another one. We truly appreciate her dedication to our family. We know she has other clients, but she always made sure we felt exclusive.

Brandon N.

Now that our house has sold, it might sound strange to say, "I'm missing our realtor!" But we do. She has helped us to sell 2 homes during the past 10 years, and during the process, she has become a dear friend. Tricia is very professional, with expert skills in negotiating with attorneys, title companies and other realtors. She is fearless, always has our back and wants us to win. She's very thorough - she spends hours of reading and qualifying potential offers. She provides a lot of exposure and offers such a wide market to list your property. Her photographer is also excellent and takes beautiful pictures, including aerial views, to help showcase your home's best side. We love that she keeps us informed of all the details and is willing to ride the emotional roller coaster of selling right along with us. I will always be thrilled to refer Tricia to all my friends and family!

Connie and Brent Pendleton

We had the pleasure of working with Tricia in both selling and purchasing a home. A true pro. Great! We highly recommend!

Ken Krasner

Tricia really took her time to explain everything in the process. She was professional and caring. She knew and understood what we were looking for and showed us properties that matched our budget and taste. A great experience overall. Very grateful to her and her team!

Hayden Mayhan

Excellent agent! Tricia was recommended to us by many people and was instrumental in helping us find our first property. She went out of her way to negotiate the best deal on multiple offers we submitted and was very responsive with all communication. Will definitely be looking to her again in the future.

Sadie Wadsworth

Tricia is a fantastic realtor! Not only did she help us find the perfect house, she made every step as simple as possible. And even after the sale went through, she went above and beyond to help us out with some unknown issues in our new house. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Nathan Anderson

I have nothing but great things to say about our experience working with Tricia. She was always available to us and went the extra mile in everything she did. Even now, after closing on our new house and our old house, she is still helping us with some issues we’re having in the new place by contacting the seller to get information we need. I really felt like she truly cares about our family. She was so good with our 2 young kids, bringing my 3 year old surprises and making her feel included. We had a fantastic experience with Tricia and would absolutely use her again!

Madison Anderson

I have worked with Tricia on multiple homes. She has been fantastic on all occasions. I have no reservations recommending her to all. She is professional, experienced, knows her stuff, responds promptly and is always in your corner.

Bryson Pope

Tricia was dedicated to getting the right home for us. Her years of experience instilled confidence in her ability to ask all the right questions and be an advocate for our best interest. She is personable and honest. I highly recommend her as your agent.

Jill Carter

Since the first real estate transaction worked with with Tricia Vanderkooi several years ago, we would not use another realtor. This is about our fifth transaction with Tricia over the years. We really appreciate that she has always been responsive, knowledgeable of the market, open, and straightforward in our discussions. Thanks, Tricia!

K. Sullivan

We are relocating from Ohio and Tricia helped us find a great home in South Jordan. She was very patient and took us to so many different areas so that we could become familiar with where we wanted to live. She was very knowledgeable & just a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend her!

Barry Wilson

Made a rough situation a lot smoother We've used Trisha a few different times in purchasing and selling houses. And every time we use her it is always a pleasurable experience. She stays on top of things, informs us of issues that may come up and find solutions to those issues. Our situation was difficult as we were going through a divorce, and Tricia was a rockstar and being able to act as an intermediary for us. I would recommend her to anybody looking to sell or buy a house.

Eric Thorup

Honest trustworthy Tricia has been working my family for years, at least 10 years, this was our third home she has worked with us, two homes for my parents, two home for my brother and countless other family members and friends. She is extremely knowledgeable and will get things done. She is aggressive in the market and will always put you and your family first if you are her client. No matter what your needs are Tricia seems to always have the solution and the expertise to help you out and get it done. Don’t hesitate to have Tricia sell your home or get your into a home. She will treat you like family.

Anthony Gustin

Best agent for buying and/or selling a home. Experience and customer service set her apart. I have purchased and sold two homes with Tricia and have never had a problem. Tricia is on the ball and knows everything that needs to be done for the best sale. Her years of experience as an agent set her apart from the rest. If you're unsure about what changes to make to your home to get the best bang for the buck she knows. She will keep you up to date on everything that needs to be done and will remind you of the things you need to get done. She has great references for home inspectors, contractors for repair, contractors for finishing, loan officers, homeowners insurance and she interfaces with them as needed. She really gets even more involved when the home is listed. We left for Oregon when our home went on the market and it sold in one weekend. We didn't need to even be there so that we could focus on our new home purchase in Oregon.

Matt Fowler

There’s no better agent than Tricia Vanderkooi!
As life changes and things happen, I found myself looking to buy a home in August 2021. I was a first time home buyer and had no idea where to start. That’s where Tricia came in. From the moment we met, I knew Tricia was going to be an advocate for me, and someone I could trust throughout the entire buying process. I love how she asked about me and the things I wanted/needed in a home. She was fantastic about laying out a timeline and the process of how things would happen. This was super important because again, first time home buyer here!! Tricia didn’t waste anytime in looking for open houses that we could walk through. It didn’t take her very long to hone in on my style and what would fit me for this stage of my life. As the days went by, Tricia called and texted to give me updates on new listings and see how I was feeling. We ended up finding the perfect home with a price tag that was right for me. Once my offer was received I had lots of random questions. Tricia never, ever ignored me or made me feel dumb for asking things that we had probably already talked about. A few times I even texted her late at night and she replied back! She never left me unattended. I’m so glad I was able to work with Tricia and find my home sweet home. There’s no better agent than Tricia!

Amy Bills

This purchase was not our first and we had an idea of what we wanted. We looked at a lot of properties online, walked through many and fired off lots of questions. Tricia always provided correct information and if she didn’t know she followed through and always got back to us. We placed quite a few offers and repeatedly lost out. Tricia helped us through the tough times; she did not pressure us, but continually did what we asked of her, letting us decide the course. She guided us gently when we were off track a bit. Most of all we developed a genuine friendship. We wanted to get very aggressive with a special property for us and she laid out exactly how to do it and we got our offer accepted! She worked consistently and cheerfully with us and made it fun.

Dave Metcalf

Tricia was referred to us by our local realtor in Seattle as we moved to the Salt Lake City area. She was super great to work with helping us as we transitioned and getting to know our family's needs. Once we found the house that we really wanted, she was clutch in helping get our offer accepted and moving us along in the process with all questions answered. She was really great to work with and I can't recommend her more.

Angela Kirk

Tricia, is an absolutely wonderful realtor! She is very personable and made our house shopping experience really enjoyable and simple. She found a lot of good properties for us to review within our selected areas and budget, and helped us filter through them so that we could pick out the closest matches to our criteria to go see. She spent a lot of quality time with us and was very observant and honest about any issues she saw on each property. Her savviness and extensive experience were invaluable during our negotiation process. She helped us choose a wonderful house that we have made our home. I would highly recommend, Tricia, as your next realtor!

Mike and Alece

From the first time we spoke to Trisha until the day we closed on the sale of our home Trisha Vanderkooi was the ultimate professional. Her knowledge of the market in which we lived was so on target. She did her homework as to the sales that had taken place with similar square footage as our home in our area. With the knowledge she shared with us we were confident in taking her advice in pricing our home. We also trusted her suggestions on staging our home. Trisha and her whole team always completed every task they said they would do and on time. The photos of our home were spectacular and I am sure enticed our buyers to want to see more. Selling a home is never easy but Trisha Vanderkooi made it a pleasure. With all my heart I would recommend Trisha to sell any property I would ever have. Trisha can be trusted and that’s so important. Thank you Tricia

Donna Shelly

Tricia kept me informed me of everything going on and got right back to me when I had questions which was wonderful since I lived out of state and relied on her for everything concerning the sale.

Kathleen Pace

Wonderful experience! Tricia exceeded all my expectations with her attention to detail and excellent communication skills. She is intimately familiar with the real estate market in Utah and is always ahead of the game. She listens intently and is sensitive to the small details that can be crucial in directing a search for the right property. She has mastered the critical balance required of her profession.

Tim Velasco

Tricia has great knowledge of the local area and was able to price the sale of our property for the profit we were looking for. Her response to our calls,emails and questions was great. She is very professional and observent for explaining unexpected problems that may arise

Aubrey Haught

I went seeking to find the best realtor, and I found Tricia Vanderkooi through a phone interview. I liked her from the start. She spoke with such posed and confidence, had a wealth of knowledge about the real state market, very professional, warm and pleasant, friendly, and our relationship developed over a very short time. She went right to work for me. She had multiple offers the first Saturday she showed my home. We kept in close contact through texts and phone calls during the entire process. I never had the pleasure of meeting Tricia, due to long distance, in another state. But very happy with her leadership, and selling my house for more than what I’d expected. She’s simply an awesome lady that knows the business.

Myra Waters

Tricia was very patient, knowledgeable and reassuring in a crazy Utah market. She answers questions quickly and clearly when I know nothing about real estate, and has your best interest at heart. The best part about working with her is you can easily tell she wants you to be happy with where you live. Choose Tricia and she'll take fantastic care of you.

Jake Lauritzen

Tricia found us our dream home. We told Tricia exactly what we wanted and she found it for us. We were so happy with our new home we hired her to sell our old home and she did a wonderful job. The process was effortless for us because of her knowledge and expertise. We would highly recommend Tricia Vanderkooi to anyone buying or selling a home. You will not be disappointed.

Paula Menlove

We were moving from out of state and had to find a house in one weekend. Prior to our visit, Tricia spoke with us numerous times and sent us listings to review in order to get a feel of what we were looking for. She set up 11 showings over 2 days. We made an offer that weekend and Tricia was instrumental in getting our offer accepted over others in a competitive market. We highly recommend Tricia to anyone buying or selling. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and will get the deal done!

Eric and Gale Hamman

Tricia helped me sell a house, helped my parents buy a house, and then helped me buy one too! You know she has your back and is candid. We looked at a few before finding the right one. She told me "not this house" and "this one is going to go quick". She gives sound advice and is a tough negotiator. I was lucky to have her in my corner. She looked after me with the same tenacity and enthusiasm she would have had looking for a house for her own kid. They say that the company you keep says a lot about your character. Every industry professional she recommended, from home inspector to mortgage guy, was a hugely positive experience. She is herself, and also surrounds herself, with people of integrity and dedicated to doing the job well. Top notch realtor.

Charlotte Whiteside

Tricia has been a rockstar agent for us! She has been so honest and helpful and has pointed out things on houses that may end up being money pits, saving us from potential disasters down the road. She put in many hours of showings to help us find the perfect home and never once did we feel like she was rushing us so she could get paid. She is genuinely caring and concerned for the well-being of her clients and I couldn't have been happier with her services.

Cassie Stetham

Highly recommend Tricia to anyone needing to purchase or sell a house. Skilled and Professional. Tricia was a total pro in helping us with a difficult purchase in Daybreak. She can be trusted and looks out for her clients' best interests. Knows what it takes to make a good deal and does not hesitate to give skilled advice. We highly recommend Tricia VanderKooi to anyone needing a skilled Realtor. Excellent job.
