ReviewTori is a great agent, she knows real estate, including market trends and valuations, and has a great sense of the pulse of the market. She's extremely responsive and thorough. Her knowledge and insights have been extremely valuable in the 4 buy and sell transactions she's helped me with over the years. I highly recommend Tori.

ReviewI have known Tori for 20 years. We bought our parents' home from Tori 20 years ago and after their passing, I asked her to prepare and list the house for sale. She knows the neighborhood inside out and was superb in coordinating the various contractors to get the house ready in a short period of time. The final result was a beautiful home ready for the next owner to move in and enjoy. The house was listed at the right price level for the neighborhood and sold in 1 week with multiple offers.

ReviewI've worked with Tori a number of times since 2001. She has always has my best interest in mind and went to the mat of me. When I bought my first home, she convinced the seller that while I wasn't the highest bidder on the property, I was the best buyer. When I sold a home, Tori had a bank of resources at call from contracting to landscaping to stagging that brought top dollar for my home. She knows the market and knows propterty value and potential. It was only with her guidance, I was able to purchase my current home in an extremely competitive market. Tori has demonstrated time and time again her keen negotiation skills and how far her relationships with other agents can go. I highly recommend Tori!

ReviewTori was recommended to me by a colleague and I was impressed by how she sent me up with a great lender (PNC mortgage) ; got me pre-authorized to buy and started sending me lists of available homes each day. She drove me to see a house way up in Marin County then met me to see the house I landed up buying in Aptos. She has been incredibly responsive, answering tel calls and texts/ e-mails almost immediately. She kept the whole process moving forward, following up with all parties and I was kept in the loop on everything via e-mail. I will recommend Tori Atwell without any reservation to anyone looking for a go getter Real Estate agent .

ReviewTori is hands down The Best Agent in Mountain View Area. Her local area expertise is second to none. She is really on top of everything and handles everything herself like a super mom taking care of a kid:) I made the purchase towards the end of the year when inventory was really low and competitor really high, her expert market analysis, super responsive and creative handling of the complex process really helped me win the house. Due to her long time focus and superb networking skills in the local area, she has great connections with other agents and lenders, which also greatly assisted my purchase process. I also know she's a superstar on the selling side and accidentally found out she sold my friend's house in Mountain View almost 20 years ago. So I highly recommend Tori for anyone's buying and selling needs in the Mountain View and surrounding area.

ReviewWe are so fortunate to have had Tori's invaluable insights and super-efficient skills in both buying and selling three different properties in three different cities - Sunnyvale, San Jose, and Milpitas. For selling, she's great at knowing what to fix up and what can stay the same and who to get to do the job. She made it so much easier and less-time consuming - we just did her to-do list - or hired who she recommended! For buying, she has a great eye for value - what is expensive vs. inexpensive to fix, what areas are more or less likely to increase in value, etc... In all three cases we bought homes that we would have been too scared to buy if we did not have someone with her expertise and trustworthiness to help out. We ended up with tens of thousands in increased value beyond the cost of the repairs in all cases. We have a daughter with Down syndrome, and with the rental property she helped us buy this last time, we no longer worry about our daughter's future when we are gone. We are so grateful to Tori. This review may seem a bit over the top, but her help and advice has literally changed the course of our lives. Thank you, Tori!

ReviewTori goes the extra mile -- she combines high integrity, deep market knowledge, great customer service, and relentless follow-through -- I wholeheartedly recommend her. My wife and I wanted to buy a home in the South Bay (walking distance to a downtown, in a friendly neighborhood, with a sunny yard, built prior to WW2, ...), and we were willing to wait for the right house. Tori patiently worked with us for well over a year. When we finally found a good house, she successfully negotiated the sale through multiple counter offers, winning over three other buyers. Finally, Tori shepherded the escrow and closing process, ensuring that every stage went smoothly. When our first choice lender was having issues with the state of the house, Tori quickly put us in touch with an alternative lender, keeping the closing on track (and also getting us a better deal on the mortgage). Now that we have closed, Tori continues to provide help and advice.

She has great vision, thinks out of the box and really gets to know her clients well so that she can find them the perfect home for them. She hung in there with me for over a year. I was looking for a condo or townhouse, which in the end would have made me miserable. Tori recognized this and she surprised me by finding me the perfect little house instead.

ReviewSelling a house is a lot of work, full of uncertainty and alleged surprises. I am so relieved and happy I had Tori to guide me. Two years before I sold my house, Tori gave me some ROI tips to increase value. When it was time to put the house on the market, she was well equipped with contractors needed to do some work. Friends who had bought/sold with Tori told me aEURoeJust listen to her advice and do whatever she says.aEUR? When it came to pricing the house I literally lost sleep over her strategy, thinking I knew better. After struggling for a week, I decided to follow her lead. And she was right! Everything she predicted came true. Tori knows the process inside and out; this meant she set my expectations properly for every step. And best of all aEUR" there were no surprises! But Tori is more than an expert on the process, well-connected with contractors and great at pricing. She is warm, classy and extremely professional. I dont know how she balances her strong, well-researched opinions with such a gentle touch, but she does! In summary, Tori makes selling a house as easy as it could be. I recommend Tori without any reservations.

ReviewOur family has worked with Tori in previous years to complete 4 purchases of a primary home and rentals. Just recently, Tori helped us prep and sell our home and purchase a new home in our dream location. Tori earns every last bit of her 5 star ratings. I have never met anyone quite like her. She is on top of every detail, knows exactly what items are worth improving on one's home to get top dollar, has a wonderful team of contractors to get the work done, and is very straightforward and honest. She is always available to her clients - before, during, and well after a transaction is done. Tori has a great sense of humor and is a truly caring individual. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

ReviewI sold my house through Tori. Tori came in at a time when a lot of the home improvements were already done. We almost thought we were done with those and the house was almost ready to put on the market. Tori did not hesitate to provide the honest feedback.She made excellent suggestions on the further improvements which none of us cared to do before. Those suggestions made remarkable difference to the final sale of the property.She got her team of contractors , scheduled the work and got it done on time , within a reasonable budget and good quality contractors. She got all this done , with very little engagement from my side.I was very pleased with the marketing material she produced and the effort she put in.She provided right advice as and when needed and I was very pleased to follow her advice.In the end house was sold in 8 days and well above the asking price. I highly appreciate her honest work ethic,knowledge of the process and can trust her to get the job done right. Her light and jovial conversation style made the project even more fun. I highly recommend her to anybody who wants to sell or buy a house.

ReviewTori did an excellent job recommending worthwhile improvements to the house prior to sale, and managing contractors to get them done in time, at a reasonable cost and good quality. She is very familiar with the Mountain View area, knows many houses and people in Old Mounatin View. Her marketing was professional and she attended to the open house days herself. She was always prompt in forwarding relevant information and in replying, and made herself available almost around the clock. While initial offers did not turn out to be solid, she continued a steady effort and in the end we got two good offers and sold above list price in a still strong market. I would choose her again, and can highly recommend her.

ReviewTori's great skill is in seeing how to present a property to capture the interest of realtors and clients both. It is more than staging. It is a matter of total presentation plus a hard-headed sense of offering price.I was selling into a rapidly declining market. Tori attracted an astonishingly large professional network to her realtor open house; and they, in turn, brought clients to the property.We opened my condo on Saturday and Sunday and by the following Wednesday had five offers. We selected a buyer and the closing proceeded without difficulty. I remain very grateful.

ReviewI loved working with Tori. She knows the Mountain View area really well, especially the dynamics of buying in Old Mountain View and other local areas. She was extremely responsive, available, and proactive during our interactions. She helped me close a purchase before the end of the year and during the holidays. She gave me important reminders about how to set up my termite tenting and utilities and went out of her way to help me. Buying a house is stressful, it's great to work with someone who is a complete professional, and who is fun to work with.

ReviewTori has handled seven real estate transactions for me over 18 years time from 1992 - 2010, representing me both as a buyer and as a seller. I wouldn't dream of using anyone else. When I was a buyer, she negotiated a seemingly impossible gap between the seller and myself and made the deal happen for me.When I was a seller, the improvements Tori suggested and her team of trusted contractors who did the work, transformed my properties and paid for themselves many times over. As a negotiator, she is second to none. She can turn a tiny nibble into a bite and then into a sale. While other properties in the neighborhood languished on the market, homes she improved and marketed for me sold immediately and in every case, sold for over the asking prices of the comparable homes that were all around mine. She loves her work and it shines in everything she does. I trust her completely and cannot recommend her any more highly.

ReviewI can't say enough about Tori. We decided to pick Tori as our new real estate agent to help us sell our old home and purchase the current home based on her marketing materials that we received in our old neighborhood throughout the years. Her extensive experience and connections made our move hassle free. I do not believe that we would own our current home (that we love) without Tori. Here is why:1) Probably the most worrying aspect for us was how to go through the home sale/purchase process with our two small children (3yr and 5yr old). Both, my wife and I are working parents with stressful jobs. We have no help from family (both of our families are out-of-state). It was of utmost importance for us that we sell our house quickly. Keeping the house in pristine condition while on the market with two small children was one of the most stressful jobs (next to $$) in the whole process. At the end, we sold our house in less than a week. On a Thursday, after the first Open House weekend, we signed the contract with the buyer. This was priceless.2) We sold our house for a good chunk over the asking price. I contribute this to Tori's extraordinary marketing skills. She produced an amazing collection of a high quality marketing material (on-line, printed, even local news paper). This attracted big crowds of people to the Open House. She also perfectly judged the timing on when to put the house on the market. Finally, her suggestions as to what to do in order to make our house more appealing definitely changed my (male) perspective on how things should be handled during the sale/purchase of the home.3) We closed the sale of our former home and the purchase of our new home within a day. This goes along the line of keeping the stress at minimum with two small children. We moved straight from our old home to our new home without having to take an intermediate step of renting an apartment (saving $$ and time while minimizing stress) during the process.4) The simultaneous closing of both transactions (sell/buy) was not a coincidence. Tori tirelessly worked on negotiating the timing and pricing with the seller weeks before we even put our house on the market. At the end all lined-up perfectly, thanks to Tori.5) Through her connections and organizing skills, Tori laid down the whole plan for us, from internal tasks that we had to do (rent portable storage to de-cluter our house, etc.) to external task performed through her connections. Those include: fixing section 1 items, deep cleaning of the house, staging the house, manicuring landscape, etc. We had multiple quotes at hand for each type of work. The only thing we had to do is to pick one, the rest was handled by Tori (including the scheduling).6) Tori did not put pressure on us at any moment to cross over the purchase price bound that we set in the beginning. From my past experience, it was quite common that one ends up buying a new home for more than it had planned. This was not the case here.7) Tori was flexible as to who will handle the financing part of the deal. One can opt to go with her recommendation (financial personnel associated with Alain Pinel) or to use personal brokers. We happened to have our own mortgage broker that we knew from the past and we used him.8) We meet with Tori multiple times during the home sale/purchase process. Most of the transactions (signatures, paperwork, etc) were handled electronically because we preferred this way. Tori was open whether we want to handle transactions electronically or whether we want to meet with her in person. She was always available to meet/talk to us. Tori guided us with confidence through the whole process. She knows when it is important to push for certain things and when it would be more beneficial to relax. Through this fine balancing act along with years of experience in real estate field Tori made this client VERY happy. Tori has great personality and it was truly a privilege to get to know her personally while working with her.Kris

ReviewTori helped our family buy a multi-unit property in 2008 and a single-family home this past winter. From what I have heard, it is rare to find an agent who can skillfully deal with the intricacies of both investment and residential property purchases. Tori is a master at both. Her knowledge, experience, and attention to detail are unsurpassed. Her coordination of all of the many aspects of a home purchase is amazing. And to top it off, she is so fun to work with, possessing a wonderful sense of humor and tremendous optimism. She is a resource for the long haul - always available for a referral or question. While we have only purchased property in the bay area thus far, we look forward to working with Tori again for both the selling and buying of property. She is truly the best - the consummate real estate agent!

ReviewLet me explain the awesomeness that Tori brings to real estate, from someone who's bought both a house she sold and a house she helped us buy.First, Tori was the selling agent for our first house. That entire transaction was smooth and easy. Not only was the house beautifully presented, but Tori was totally warm and professional. She made us feel comfortable looking through the house, and helped get us everything we needed. Fast-forward to today: we just got the keys to a different house. Tori was our buying agent. How to say this? Without Tori, we wouldn't have succeeded in getting the house. She made sure everything went right, by staying absolutely on top of everything. Various other parties involved provided us with a mountain of challenges, and through it all, Tori never missed a detail, never let anything slip by, and gave us excellent advice. She was cheerful and professional and went out of her way to help us.To put it another way, we were offered a $9000 break to go with another realtor. Tori's work was worth way more.By the way, here's my previous review for Tori, back before we knew the breadth of the awesomeness:"Tori knows real estate inside and out. She's easy to work with, and absolutely straightforward about the qualities of a house. She is always a pleasure to talk with. Furthermore, over the many years since we bought our house, she's continued to help us out with recommendations and resources."

ReviewTori is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! We interviewed several agents before putting our home on the market and we picked her because she not only had a stellar track record for the area we were selling in, but seemed very smart and straightforward. We were SO glad we worked with Tori. She not only helped us sell our home in 2 weeks but she helped us buy our "perfect" home in the nearby area as well. Tori is absolutely not the type of realtor that just wants to turn a profit. She insists on quality on everything and wouldn't let us buy a home that was only "pretty good". She was able to educate us on things our lay-person eyes did not see. By the end of the process, I ended up wishing she was a relative - I soooo enjoyed working with her. I think it's important to really trust your realtor, and this was easily gained by working with Tori. She has great taste and great experience.

When my mother passed away in 2009, Tori was our first and only choice to handle the sale of her home. Having seen her represent us as both buyers ans sellers, I can honestly say she handles both roles consummately. When we began our search for a home in 1992, we were prepared for a test of endurance, and Tori (who came highly recommended by close friends) was more than up to the task. In one weekend we visited 60 properties and explored 40 of them. All the while Tori was carefully assimilating our impressions and refining our profile, so that we wound up with a wonderful home in Sunnyvale. The sale of my mother's house in Palo Alto threatened to overwhelm all of us at times, for a variety of reasons, but Tori provided constant reassurance, along with a cadre of highly competent vendors who prepared the property inside and out. Her skillful management of the whole situation was a major factor in both the number of qualified bids we received and the final selling price, which greatly exceeded our expectations. Bottom line: I would recommend Tori to anyone (and in fact, I have!) without hesitation.

ReviewI have been using Tori's service for the past 20 years. She helped me with two transactions; one with a four bedroom house in Sunnyvale and another with townhouse in Cupertino. She has extensive knowledge of the market and very sensitive as to what the customer needs. I highly recommend her.

ReviewWe interviewed three agents and selected Tori. She showed the most interest in selling my brothers home. She planned and executed improvements that went smoothly. The staging sold the house in less than one week with 5 bids. We are grateful for her local expertise with a fast and efficient sale at good price.

ReviewTori helped me buy my place in Old Mountain View. She helped me see the potential in this older, 1920's house and gave me lots of encouraging advice and feedback during my remodel. Tori's the best!
