ZillowVERIFIEDTed is amazing to work with. Hes done an outstanding job helping me with my last two property purchases. He really knows how to pick them, and he resists letting you waste your money on the wrong purchase. You just have to listen to his sage advice. Hes a wise old soul of real estate, but he knows how to make home shopping an enjoyable experience at the same time. This time I was buying a place for my 26-year-old daughter and her blossoming family. The home is absolutely beautiful. I cant believe we scored it for such a good price. Its too bad that his job is done. I really enjoyed hanging out with him.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted is an extraordinary human being. I have sold 5 homes and bought 2 homes through him. He is always responsive, respectful and knowledgeable. He's kind, patient, and a pleasure to work with. I've always followed his guidance even when I may not have understood his strategy, but he was always correct and got me the best price for my transaction. He's trustworthy and has been at it for decades so he has the experience and skill beyond what you will receive from many others.

ZillowVERIFIED Just to be clear If your as lucky at we were . Take the council of your Agent! Ted is a Local I mean lived on the next block from us knows Marin very well like 40 years well. Know him for over most of that time. Bought and sold another house with him as well years ago. Professional friendly a great council for everything you as the seller or buyer need to do to make a successful sale or purchase. Teds contacts and connections are amazing. Everything necessary to prepare. Our home sale just went so smoothly the paperwork, the inspections, the negotiations all went so smoothly. I suspect a good part of this also was the network of real estate professionals and vendors that Ted has been associated with for so long really made this all so successfulThe most important thing in this whole transaction was trust and believe me we really trust Ted! We really want to thank him for everything he has done for us over the years everything weve learned and the success of the sale of our home. Our entire process took just weeks from beginning to end, and I failed to mention our property was sold to the first lovely couple who viewed our home on the very first day Yep! One day showing ?? Maybe I shouldve led with that?

ZillowVERIFIED We had worked with Ted nearly 30 years ago to purchase the house we were now selling. While we thought highly of Ted from that experience, we still considered him along with two other realtors to use for the sale. It was impressive how Ted made no assumptions that since we used him before we would use him again. He came prepared to the meeting and earned our business a second time. He was discriminating when considering the prep work we needed to do to get the house ready for sale. He didn't just ask us to do everything but carefully considered which areas of the house would yield us the most if attended to. He kept us on schedule without nagging, but provided timely, gentle reminders. And when the bidding process started he proved to be creative with ways to get the deal done. All-in-all another good experience with Ted.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted was easy to work with. He was responsive and answered phone calls very quickly. He was willing to meet with us many times during the process. He helped us in creating a comprehensive list of things we needed to do and he handled things his end very efficiently. He kept us updated throughout the entire process and kept us grounded when things came up that required action. He always let us know what was next and made the process as seamless as possible. He knows what hes doing!

ZillowVERIFIED I've worked with Ted on two transactions over the past 14 years and both were efficient, painless, and brought the best outcomes. He is both real estate professional and therapist, as he was always available to provide expertise, guidance, and support. Ted is super responsive - always Johnny on the spot - and his upbeat, positive personality makes him a pleasure to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted is our guy. We wouldnt use anyone else. Ted helped us buy our house 20 years ago, and he just helped us sell it. We had just purchased a new house, which Ted also handled, and we were preparing to leave on a trip within a month. We had to get our house on the market quickly, and Ted made it happen. He worked out the timeline of everything that needed to get done to get the house on the market by the time we left. He stayed in touch with us constantly while we were away and made visits to the property to check on it and make sure it stayed looking good for showings. We had lengthy phone conversations about market conditions, strategies, showings, and interested parties. Through it all, Ted maintained a solid sense of calm positivity that never wavered, which was so reassuring and supportive. When an offer came in and took some time to work out, he expertly and graciously handled it and guided it to completion. As we said, Ted is our guy and we highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIED We were looking for a realtor to help us find a luxury condominium in Marin County, California. Three different friends who live in Marin said we just had to go with Ted. "No one is better than Ted!" With those recommendations, we reached out by phone to Ted and explained what we were looking for. As with many people who don't live in the area, we did a lot of searching on the internet. We would send a listing to Ted. He would express his general feeling about it, but always go to preview it and share video walk-throughs. If a place got a general thumbs up, then our son who lives in the area would go check it out and let us know whether it was worth a flight over to check it out. This went on for months, since inventory is extremely low and good properties were selling in days. Then, the "perfect" property came up. We were actually in Europe, but Ted previewed, invited my son over for a viewing, and they gave us the thumbs up. We changed our flights to stop over on our way back home so we could see it in person. "Yes! This is the one!" Then, Ted shared his expertise as he provided info about our offer to give us a decent chance of winning the property even if we weren't the highest bidder. And, we won! This is a greatly distilled description of our very recent transaction with Ted Strodder. His market knowledge was unparalleled. He not only knew the area, he had knowledge about individual buildings--a full list of pros and cons. Truly extraordinary. Ted was extremely responsive. When we inquired about a listing, he was right on it and responded immediately, providing us with the information we needed to determine whether to pursue it or not. He was on top of documentation and things for us to look out for in disclosures. He negotiated convincingly for us and got us our perfect property. In sum, we do not think we would have been the new owners of our great new luxury condo if we had chosen another realtor. We cannot recommend Ted Strodder more highly.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted is amazing and will supersede any expectations you have. I have bought 5 homes with him and sold 4. He will walk you through every step, take care of everything, and engage you when necessary. He makes the entire process as easy as it can be. He is extremely trustworthy.

ZillowVERIFIED We have worked with Ted for over 20 years in the competitive and complicated Marin County real estate market. His negotiation expertise and optimistic attitude are extraordinary. Whether buying or selling, he's your guy. When you have been loyal to an agent for 20+ years with multiple transactions, that about says it all.

ZillowVERIFIED I was working with Ted Strodder for months, I stopped collaborating with him after he refused to present an offer to a seller even though I asked him to do so multiple times for multiple days. When I asked him to transfer me to his broker so I can officially let the agency he works for know that these practices are rather troublesome, he refused to answer my emails. Other than this, there is also a lacked clarity on a number of details (local knowledge; process expertise, as well as negotiating between me and the sellers' agents on multiple properties. I do not recommend him at all

ZillowVERIFIED Ted has helped us buy two homes, our first home in 2004 and most recently our new home in 2024. He is a wealth of Marin County real estate knowledge and an expert guide through the complexities of negotiating for and buying a home. The combination of Teds professional expertise, his excellent instinctive skills, and his positive and reassuring manner delivers a unique and valuable service. He guided us every step of the way, stayed on top of every detail, and always responded quickly to every question and concern. We highly recommend Ted!

ZillowVERIFIED We selected Ted in August 2023 to represent us in the sale of our parents condo in Sausalito. We are so glad we did! Ted set up a plan for marketing the property including painting, carpeting, and staging, and he executed that plan on a very tight schedule. He was very hands on setting up and monitoring the various contractors as they prepared the property for sale. Ted made sure that all work was completed as scheduled and as bid. Ted was very experienced in the intricacies of the Sausalito/Marin marketplace and gave us great advice on the current market conditions and comparable properties. He kept us up to date on everything relating to the marketing efforts by text and email. Bottom line is that Ted helped us sell the townhouse by the end of 2023 for a price that we were very happy with. We recommend Ted without reservation!

ZillowVERIFIED Ted is simply sensational end of story. From start to finish Ted made a complex home purchase simple and seamless. His was there every step of the way and helped us negotiate a very favorable purchase price. He continued his exceptional services once escrow closed with assistance remodeling prior to moving in. Thanks to Ted we purchased a home for less than Market value and after some minor upgrades have an appreciating asset of far greater value that we can call home. Teds knowledge of the local market and his personal relationships with other realtors allowed us to purchase our home in a very competitive market. There is no surprise why Ted is a top agent in Marin County. There are a million things that can and will happen during any transaction. Ted is like a sea captain guiding a ship through stormy seas insuring smooth sailing for all involved. Thanks Ted for being a great realtor and making our home ownership dream a reality

We loved the ease of working with Ted through some very important considerations while we were looking for our new home. He is the ultimate professional, attentive and supportive all the way through.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted is simply the best. He held our hands through every step of the pre-sale, listing and closing. And we needed it. His positivity, market knowledge and competence cannot be matched. He worked seamlessly and cost effectively with the stagers, painters, yard workers, etc to ready our house for listing. Despite a challenging market, he brought our unique property to close. We cant recommend Ted highly enough!

ZillowVERIFIED I was the estate attorney for a sale and was referred to Ted by a real estate attorney colleague. My client, the trustee owner of the property sold, could not have been better served. Ted did an outstanding job on the sale, using his years of experience and contacts, strategic planning to enhance the property with limited resources from the estate and skillful negotiations. He was resourceful in finding vendors to help the client, communicated daily and his persistent follow through resulted in a top dollar sale for my client. I would definitely recommend Ted for your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I worked with Ted buying and eventually selling our home and his expertise, knowledge, and personal touch were exemplary throughout. His offer strategy was excellent and got us an incredible deal on the front end, and his attentiveness and expertise of the market were a huge help when selling. We felt we were in good hands throughout despite some market uncertainty and are incredibly happy with how things worked out. We would highly recommend Ted to anyone buying or selling based on our experience.

Review for Member: Ted Strodder
ZillowVERIFIED Ted was an amazing real estate agent, that we highly recommend to anyone looking to sell their home! He brings so much experience to the table. Ted, and his team of skilled professionals, made what seemed to us a difficult and arduous process, an efficient process with everyone pitching in and good at their job. Not only that, but Ted was very enthusiastic during the process, and his encouragement was extremely important in helping guide and keep us going. Moreover, his advice was extremely helpful and vital to us making the right decisions and ultimately getting the house sold at a good price in our market. It isn't that often you find someone as skilled, knowledgeable, and hardworking as Ted, so if you need a real estate professional, we cannot recommend Ted more highly.

ZillowVERIFIED We absolutely had the best and smoothest experience working with Ted. We spoke with him a year ago when we thought about selling our house and he kept us updated on market conditions until we were ready. When we decided to sell, the whole process was easy and smooth. He made everything about the process clear and got us ready and on the market in no time. Ted helped us make our big move possible. He is the best agent weve worked with.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted is very energetic, knowledgeable, and hard working. He regularly kept us informed about the number of showings that occurred after our listing was posted on Zillow. He gave us excellent advice about selling our Sausalito condo. Ted found us a buyer within 40 days after our condo was listed. We closed escrow within a week after we signed the Residential Purchase Agreement. We are delighted with his services.

ZillowVERIFIED First, Ted came highly recommended to me by a past client. He was patient and expertly helped me narrow down what I was looking for (location, budget, size etc) as I wasn't sure. Due to his network, he was able to find a home, off market, that met all my various criteria and I couldn't be happier. He also got the owners to hold to the asking price at a time when bidding wars were shooting prices up. Knowledgeable about the market but also about home construction, I trust Ted and find him a pleasure to work with. We remain in touch as my happiness with my purchase is a genuine concern to him.

ZillowVERIFIED Experience pays! Ted's background and knowledge in all aspects of real estate helped us maximize our home-improvement dollars and ultimately get the most bang-for-our-buck in the sale price. His attention to the details, his resources, and willingness to dig into the process is invaluable. He doesn't just help you buy or sell a house - he's there every step of the way. He takes the transaction personally and is your go-to expert not just for the real estate transaction, but for the entire time you own your home.

ZillowVERIFIED This is the second time I have worked with Ted and recommend him without reservation. He has invaluable local knowledge, both of the market and who to contact to get the stuff done you didn't even know you had to get done. He has twice been a fantastic guide and supporter for my wife and I in both in selling current and buying new homes. He knows when to give sage advice, when to let us ruminate on decisions, and when its time to push to close. Can't recommend him highly enough!

ZillowVERIFIED Ted was amazing! We conducted our search long distance and Ted was completely on top of it. He sent us listings to get a sense of what we wanted. Eventually went up to Marin for a weekend and found a property we wanted. It took nearly six months of negotiations to get it, but with Teds guidance we succeeded. He never lost his patience even when we were completely frustrated. He also has be great help after our closing. I dont think we would have this property without his expertise.

ZillowVERIFIED We have worked with Ted Strodder for 17 years and this is the second home that he has worked for us on - both were great successes. He was extremely knowledgable of the rapidly changing real estate market in our area, he listened carefully to us on what we wanted, he would bring forth various ideas and communicated all tradeoffs very well. When it came time to make an offer he was always several steps ahead, helped us understand the entire process, and picked the phone up immediately every time we called. It all resulted in us now living in our dream home. I enthusiastically recommend him to help you find and get your dream home too.

ZillowVERIFIED We have leveraged Ted for not only finding a home, but selling as well. Since Ted has an extensive network we have utilized all of his resources reducing the pain of having to try and find a tradesperson or professional to get things completed during the real estate transactions. He is on top of communicating with his team and other agent(s), which is appreciated as time is valuable.

ZillowVERIFIED When a loved one has passed away and a family home of 50-60 years transitions to a new family, you need someone talented, trusted and caring. You need Ted Strodder. Ted stepped in, called the plays, brought in resources, ran the offense and provided reassurance and execution to the family. He told us what to expect, what was possible versus probable and communicated fluently at both big-picture and attention-to-details levels. He made it easy to know what items were big, medium, and small in terms of importance. Having a trusted, talented, caring person at the helm is just immeasurable.

Review for Member: Ted Strodder
ZillowVERIFIED Ted was the consummate professional real estate agent, from first prospective interview to final close. He provided broad and deep knowledge of the Marin real estate market, as well as informed advice about all aspects of staging to show the home to best advantage. He was prepared not only to share his wealth of experience, but also to listen carefully to others' feedback and opinions. All of this may have been 'expected' - - however the way in which Ted navigated a sale which became increasingly challenging (through no fault of his) gave insight into some of his other key characteristics: grit, persistence, integrity, kindness, caring, and a willingness to TRULY go 'above and beyond' to honor his commitment to his clients. In the end he navigated a multiple offer situation with grace and got the best possible closing price. I have zero hesitation in recommending Ted to anyone needing real estate support in Marin. You will be glad to have him on your team and on your side.

ZillowVERIFIED You won't go wrong selecting Ted as your agent. Ted sold my house in Mill Valley that I had owned for 22 years. He walked me through everything, made solid recommendations for upgrades, and made the whole process painless and efficient. Then he negotiated me A LOT more than I was asking and expecting for my place. Go with Ted!
