Buyer & Seller

Rick is the consummate professional. We met him when we were a buyer and came back to him as a seller. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, honest, detail-oriented, and dedicated - he knows the market and the subset of larger-scale ranch properties is one of his specialties. Rick is an excellent communicator, and he and his team did a fantastic job in the preparation of marketing materials to showcase the many positive aspects of our property. He is an excellent agent and we strongly recommend retaining him either as a seller or buyer.

Rick was able to push through a tough deal in a volatile market. The odds were against us, but he was able to close. Yay!

Hugo Cortes & Lead Gen Lab

“Working with Rick and Peri isn't just business as usual—it's exceptional. Among thousands of agents nationwide, they're a standout for their innovative mindset, commitment to feedback, and unique approach to their work. Beyond expertise, it's their genuine kindness and energy that set them apart. The Lead Gen Lab team is unanimous: collaborating with the Trono Team is a privilege we're grateful for.”

MKD & RM

There’s a popular saying that real estate agents will simply tell you what you want to hear. We hired Rick Trono because he tells you what you don’t want to hear. We would find something online, call Rick, and he would promptly get us in for a look. It was hard to believe he had other clients (and he has many) because he was so responsive and proactive. He never fails to return a phone call or email, no matter how trivial, and he never hesitates to tell you what he really thinks –even if it’s not what you want to hear. It’s said that people who love what they do are inevitably good at it. Rick is one of those people.

In short, Rick knew how to price the house for the market, which he knew was cold. I found that in addition, his reputation and relationship with other agents were outstanding. I always felt that I had an inside track working with him. When it came down to tough negotiations, Rick’s advice and recommendations helped save us thousands of dollars.

Rick was the best! He made our dream come true. We had two other agents who were highly recommended prior to Rick. They showed little initiative and poor responsiveness, and we felt they prioritized their interests over ours. It was a perfect fit when we switched to Rick who worked tirelessly to secure us exactly what we wanted. He is bright, skilled, and informed. We are convinced there are very few agents who could have negotiated "offline" as deftly as he did. We will always be grateful we had the great good fortune to work with him. Rick was so incredible to work with and made the home-buying process not only smoother but more trustworthy!

“I cannot thank Rick enough for selling my home in such a tough market. If you are planning to sell your home, call him! You will be happy you did!”

“When it comes to selling your home, Rick Trono is your go-to guy! Rick is all about putting the clients’ first. I felt that Rick has my best interest at heart. His connections and experience in Marin County real estate helped tremendously in the process of selling my home. He knew just where to market my home and his marketing team did a wonderful job with creating captivating ads. Rick’s knowledge about the Marin County market is not just learned, it comes from years of experience! I am so lucky! Thank you Rick!”

“We had been looking to buy a second home for years, but never pursued our dream. It took meeting Rick Trono to get us to start looking seriously. It was Rick who helped us understand the market and taught us so much about how to narrow down what we were looking for. We are happy to say that with Rick’s assistance we were able to find the perfect home!”

Rick is fantastic, always exceeds expectations. He is there to advise and assist with every step of the process including follow up after the transaction is completed. I have used Rick for all my Real Estate transactions for the past thirty years and would not consider using any other realtor, he and his team are simply the best in Real Estate.

We have used Rick Trono exclusively as our Marin and Sonoma Realtor® for nearly 25 years. We bought one house and sold two homes last year alone. He helps us make smart decisions in the best markets as well as shall we say more challenging real estate climates. We stay with Rick because he knows his stuff. He knows neighborhoods, he knows houses, he knows trends, he knows people, and he knows how to negotiate so that everyone involved feels good about the experience and transaction. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, Rick has the skill and know-how to get the job done. Plus he’s a super likable guy and it’s always a pleasure to work with him.

I write this as we wait for escrow to close in Marin, perfectly timed 2 weeks before our new home in Orange County. Rick is the best. We were working through a Relo company, but we went outside of their provided Realtors® and it was the best choice we ever made! As a first-time home seller, relocating before the house was even on the market, could have been a highly stressful situation. Rick knew the right amount of things to address before putting our house on the market, helped organize everything, put a lot of consideration into how to market and sell our house, and was very helpful throughout the process. Rick's knowledge about our home and the area was impressive, knowing more than I did about the street I lived on for 10 years. Just as we started to look for our new home in southern California our home in Marin went on the market. I was worried that I would be carrying two mortgage…

I write this as we wait for escrow to close in Marin, perfectly timed 2 weeks before our new home in Orange County. Rick is the best. We were working through a Relo company, but we went outside of their provided Realtors® and it was the best choice we ever made! As a first-time home seller, relocating before the house was even on the market, could have been a highly stressful situation. Rick knew the right amount of things to address before putting our house on the market, helped organize everything, put a lot of consideration into how to market and sell our house, and was very helpful throughout the process. Rick's knowledge about our home and the area was impressive, knowing more than I did about the street I lived on for 10 years. Just as we started to look for our new home in southern California our home in Marin went on the market. I was worried that I would be carrying two mortgages for months, but Rick reassured me that our house would sell the day we started accepting offers and we would have a quick and smooth escrow process. He was right. Rick walked us through all of the offers, good points, bad points, why the buyers liked the house, etc. This meant a lot, knowing that someone would enjoy our house as much as we did and having all of the right information before accepting an offer. Rick helped us in the negotiation process, raising the bar consistently to achieve our needs. Because of Rick, this was the easiest process I have ever been through, our house received multiple top competing offers. I can't say enough good about our experience and highly recommend that you consider Rick for your real estate needs.
