About us

I love working with Buyers. I like finding people DEALS... I'm an Realtor that listens to you about what you are looking for and what your situation is. I ask a lot of questions at the beginning to get a feel for where you need or want to be. I see every person that calls as a new puzzle Mixed with family, job, personal finances, credit, Mortgage needs, living situations, moving times, Looking at houses, inspecting houses, Purchasing time frames, and more and all I have to do is put this puzzle together. At the end I get lots of smiles and thank you's and great reviews. I love what I do.

Troy was the perfect buyer's agent. I contacted quite a few agents before I spoke to Troy and he was different from the start. He listened carefully to my family's needs and wants, instead of nudging us to properties that were bigger or more expensive than we wanted (which other agents had done). Because he listened so carefully to our preferences he did not have to point us towards very many properties. We ended up purchasing the third property we seriously looked at. Troy was also fantastic at explaining the pros and cons of different areas and developments. He knows the Waco area extremely well and this shined through in our conversations. He is also not afraid to be constructively critical of a property that someone is interested in. It is clear that Troy wants his clients to be happy with the purchase process, but also happy living in the house too. Troy was there to helpfully guide us through the entire process. He made finding a house easy, he made finding a mortgage company easy, he made negotiating a contract easy, he made the home inspection easy, and he made closing easy. Troy is always easy to contact, whether by phone, text or email and never seems bothered by a clients needs or questions. He even helped us after closing, as we were not moving immediately. So I can speak from experience that his desire to serve his clients isn't just about collecting a paycheck. Troy is a great buyers agent and I highly recommend him. Anyone moving to the Waco area would do well to use his services, you'll be glad you did!
Description of Work: Troy was our buyer's agent and spent significant time looking at houses for us and explaining the area to us. He has an intimate knowledge of the Waco area and used that to find a house that wonderfully suits our needs. We are from out of town and did much of our home search remotely, so once the photos of a house passed muster and he had discussed it with the listing agent, Troy would go over and examine the property in person. If he found something that didn't quite fit what we wanted he was careful to document it for us (both with pictures and descriptions) and go over the shortcomings with us in detail. He also guided us to a wonderful mortgage company and helped the closing proceed smoothly, not only giving valuable counsel through the negotiation, but helped us find a reputable inspector.

As I stated above the home buying experience was for me a very positive and stress free one thanks completely to Troy's professionalism and experience.
Description of Work: Troy has sold me 2 houses. My first house he and the homeowner went out of their way to help me. I was totally new to the Waco area and to the home buying process. Troy made himself extremely accessible to me and was extremely helpful and made me feel at ease during what I am sure could have been a stressful experience. The same was true of the second property that I purchased as an investment property. Troy is the only realtor that I will use. His professionalism and attention to detail made my home buying experiences very positive.

What I liked best about my experience with Troy Sorenson as my realtor, was the fact that he listened to what I was looking for. He asked questions about what I wanted in a new home as well as what my children wanted. He found the perfect home for us. He then helped me, as this was my first time to buy a home, every step of the way. He was available for any questions I had. He was able help direct me to the people I needed for services for home. He answered questions about home warranties, closing costs, and all kinds of things in between. He was never too busy to help with my questions. He even let me look at the house several times to make sure it was the one I wanted. There was even a situation that delayed my being able to purchase the house. Months later, when I was able to buy, he found the house still on the market and made sure I knew. The house fit my family so perfectly. Buying a home as lots of ups and downs and is stressful. Lots of questions come up and many unexpected things arise. It was great to have a realtor like Troy Sorenson, who helped relieve the stress.
Description of Work: Troy Sorenson was my realtor. He found my perfect house and took me through all the steps to purchase a home.

This was an amazing experience while working with Troy to buy our first home. This was the first time to ever buy any property and he walked us through step by step. Anytime you need a question answered, night or day, he was there by either text, email, or phone call. I will definitely use him again if we buy/sell any real estate...
