I 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

Tori 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.
