Testimonials

“Trudy & Rick McGrath are an exceptional realtor team.  They are knowledgeable about the local market and give clear suggestions of how to make the property as attractive as possible. Resourceful, creative, positive, persistent and knowledgeable all describe Trudy and Rick.  We are delighted to recommend them.”  Candace and Roy S.

“Trudy is very knowledgeable and professional. I have purchased two rental properties and have retained her to manage both. She helped us find our personal residence as well.  I wouldn’t think of using anyone else in any real estate transaction.” Randy P.

“My husband and I have bought and sold 5 homes in the past 12 years and I think we both would agree that this was the smoothest and most rewarding transactions we have been through. They worked tirelessly through multiple offers, counters and negotiations to get us a price on our home that exceeded our expectations, all while not missing a beat on the purchase of our new home. I think many other agents would have found this a complicated situation to manage, but Rick and Trudy were true professionals throughout it all. They truly made a dream come true for our family and we will always be grateful to them for it.” Crystal T.  (seller and buyer)

“I am extremely pleased with the service Rick provided throughout the selling process. He kept me informed every step of the way. During the offer/counteroffer phase where we had multiple offers, we discussed options and strategies leading to a quick agreement with a buyer and allowing us to enter escrow. During the escrow process he brought to my attention any potential issues so we could jointly develop a course of action to resolve the item and prevent any impacts to the process.  I would recommend Rick to anyone looking in the North County area.” Jim L

“Trudy and Rick get my highest marks! They orchestrated my home sale that exceeded by expectations. I particularly appreciated being able to contact them regardless of day or time. They obviously work very hard and deserve the recognition they have received for being the best of the best!” Theresa B.

“My husband and I just purchased our first home! We are so thankful for Rick. I was very nervous to even “dip my toe” into the thought of purchasing. I had looked at homes for years online thinking about how great it would be. Actually acting on it made me nervous, until we met with Rick. With Rick’s expertise and genuine character, my fears subsided because we knew we had someone that was for us. He held our hand the whole way through. He was always available to meet and explain all the foreign language of home buying (lol). We were able to make confident decisions with him guiding us. He is very upfront, and the things we really cared about, he cared about. He holds the record in my book for response time!  He is dedicated, and we are so appreciative.”      B. Narcy (buyer)

“Dear Rick, You and Trudy are an awesome team.  You had my backside at all times – even when I didn’t know I needed it!  You both made a difficult job move along with ease.  I can’t thank you enough for guiding me with your wealth of knowledge and experience through the entire process.” Carol H. (seller)

Rick was very helpful in a slightly difficult transaction. He helped all the parties keep a cool head and close escrow with all involved feeling satisfied. We are so happy we worked with Rick and plan to refer him to anyone we know needing a professional agent.   Doug and Holly S. (seller and buyer)

“Trudy McGrath helped me every step of the way this summer when I bought my home in Carlsbad.  She did everything I needed and more, even helping me hire a contractor to remodel.  It is with utmost respect, appreciation and confidence that I refer her for your real estate needs.”   Cathy C. (buyer)

“Recently my 4th real estate transaction was conducted through your top agent Trudy McGrath.  I cannot begin to write of her strength toward me as both a seller and a buyer.  Examples include her smelling of a gas leak upon final inspection and this required the seller to purchase a new furnace for me. Her attention to detail and her knowledge of laws and regulations, make for a smooth transaction yeah!  Thanks for having a super team.”  Nancy C. (seller and buyer)

“…we consider Ms. McGrath to be an extremely valuable asset to Coldwell Banker Real Estate Brokerage.  We have worked with other agents and feel she has set a superlative standard for other agents to aspire to.”  Lt Co. and Mrs. J.N. Treadwell USMC (ret.)

“Trudy worked with us for more than six months on a short sale.  Prior to that, she had been showing us houses for six months. She bent over backwards as problems kept arising. We recommend her to everybody looking for a Realtor.  Trudy is the best!”  Andy and Jill S. (buyer)

“Rick, thank you very much for all of your help with the sale of our house. You made everything so easy. Your knowledge and experience really showed with my many calls and questions. Your meticulous ways really helped us out in knowing what we were and were not responsible for.  Thanks for looking out for us.”   Dianne E.   (seller)
