"Tori is hands down The Best Agent in the 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 Mountain View and the surrounding area."

"Tori was recommended to me by a colleague and I was impressed by how she set 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 ended up buying in Aptos. She has been incredibly responsive, answering tel calls and texts and 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."

"I've worked with Tori a number of times since 2001. She has always had 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 property 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!"

"I 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."

"Tori was a perfect business partner from the idea of selling our house to the close of escrow. Tori provided real-time communication and handled action items swiftly. Tori is a good project manager, a good negotiator, a good marketeer, and a good sounding board. The capper was a 9-day close which was no small feat."

"Tori has worked with us on three houses. Two of them involved challenging players. She handled them like an ace. She really knows the market, and she goes way above and beyond to make sure the process works out smoothly."

"We had the good luck to have Tori help us twice as a buyer's agent and once as a seller. She made these stressful transactions much easier, she took care of all of the byzantine requirements involved in buying and selling a house and negotiated hard to our advantage. If we were to sell our current home, she would be the first person we would talk to."

"We worked with Tori twice, in 2007 to buy our house in Mountain View and in 2023 to sell it. For the 2023 sale, we interviewed three realtors and chose Tori because we believed she would be most capable of showing what was unique and wonderful about our house. We were selling an adorable older home, and we believed that she more so than the other two realtors would be able to showcase the uniqueness of our house to attract the right buyers. And she did just that: She embraced and promoted our home's unique features. She has a handyman and a painter that she works with regularly and who gives her clients priority, so we were able to get our house ready for the market in a very short time, also an important thing at a time when contractors are hard to get and booked far out. I believe we sold our home significantly better because we worked with Tori than if we'd worked with the other realtors whom we considered."

"Our 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!"

"Selling 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 “Just listen to her advice and do whatever she says.” 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 – 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 don’t 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."

"I've had the pleasure of working with Tori on two occasions. She is extremely knowledgeable which is very helpful in a competitive market. I would not be in my home today without her! She is honest and truly cares about you and your family. She is a true professional."

"Tori is the best! She is responsive, honest, knowledgeable, and very ethical. 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. This met all of my needs and was actually more affordable. I love my house and it's all thanks to Tori. Thanks again, Tori. I would recommend her to everyone."

"Tori 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 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."

"My father-in-law became ill and we had to sell his home, Tori was amazing! She helped us from step one until the end. We live out of state so She basically did it all but kept us in the loop via e-mails or phone calls 100%. We were very impressed with her and would recommend her 100% to anyone who is interested in selling their home!"

"We 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 what can stay the same, and who to get to do the job. She made it so much easier and less 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 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 have literally changed the course of our lives. Thank you, Tori!"
