What Makes the Vandervort Group the Best Realtors in San Carlos, CA?

What Makes the Vandervort Group the Best Realtors in San Carlos, CA?

Looking for the best realtors in San Carlos? You'll hear one name come up again and again: the Vandervort Group from Veritas Homes. With almost 100 five-star reviews from happy clients across San Carlos and the Mid-Peninsula, this local real estate team has earned their reputation as some of the most trusted Realtors in San Carlos and the greater Bay Area. 

What makes the Vandervort Group stand out in such a competitive Mid-Peninsula market? The answer is plain in what their clients say about working with them. A common thread through each client's story is the team's great service, solid market knowledge, and results that really deliver. Here's what makes the Vandervort Group -- Val Vandervort, Liz McGee, and Lorenzo Gueco -- and the Veritas Homes team the top choice for San Carlos real estate agents.

The Vandervort Group Knows the San Carlos Real Estate Market

When you're looking for top San Carlos real estate agents, you want someone who truly understands the local market. The Vandervort Group is made up of local real estate experts. Home buyer and seller clients each mention how impressed they are with the team's up-to-date knowledge of local trends and their ability to give advice that actually works.

In a review for Val, one client said: "She's very knowledgeable about the local market and well-known and respected in the industry". Another loved her data-driven approach, saying: "Best of all she had data on how often listings come up in the complexes we were interested in. We found out very few units come up for sale in the year".

But the team's expertise goes way beyond just knowing current prices. They get timing, helping clients figure out exactly when to list their homes. As one happy seller explained: "She gave us advice on when to sell the house, recommended repairs and coordinated with the contractors, and staged it". This smart approach to timing and prep work has helped tons of clients get the most money for their homes.

The Vandervort Group knows San Carlos inside and out, plus other key Mid-Peninsula areas like Belmont, Redwood City, and San Mateo. That means clients get the full picture of what's happening across the whole region.

The Vandervort Group & Veritas Homes Put Clients First

What really makes the Vandervort Group the best San Carlos listing agents is how they always put their clients' needs first. You can see this throughout all their testimonials -- clients consistently talk about how the team made their success the priority.

Even a fellow real estate agent noticed this, saying: "What sets Val & the team apart in the competitive Bay Area real estate market is her unwavering commitment to putting clients' interests first, even when that means referring them to other agents outside her territory". At the Vandervort Group, we genuinely care about doing right by people.

The team's approach means clients get full support throughout the whole process. One client described how the Vandervort Group "handled EVERYTHING. The house was beautifully staged, some minor repairs made, painted inside and ready to sell in just a few weeks". This hands-on style takes all the stress away while making sure everything turns out great.

The whole Veritas Homes team works this way. Whether you're working with Val Vandervort, Lorenzo Gueco, or Liz McGee, you get the same level of care. A first-time buyer said about Lorenzo: "He was looking out for my good, not for a sale. To be frank, he himself turned down more places we looked at than not, even before I said no".

They don't just disappear after closing either. Multiple clients mention getting help even after everything was done, with one saying: "she helped us find services for some repair work even after the transaction was complete". They understand that great real estate service doesn't end when you get the keys.

Getting Results for San Carlos Home Buyers & Sellers

When it comes to getting results, the Vandervort Group's track record as some of the best San Carlos real estate agents is extensive. Their seller clients' reviews note homes selling fast, often for more than asking price, with amazing marketing and presentation.

One client was worried about their unique property but ended up thrilled: "We had a quirky home in San Carlos that we were afraid would be difficult to sell... We wound up getting well over asking and way more than I had hoped". Another got incredible results: "our house sold for 21% over asking!" after just "a single open house weekend".

These great outcomes happen because of the team's complete approach to marketing and their strong professional network. Clients always mention the quality of their marketing materials, with one saying: "Her marketing materials were gorgeous and included everything from the usual website and brochure to aerial drone photos".

The Vandervort Group's network of trusted professionals makes everything go smoothly for clients. From local mortgage lenders to contractors, their connections help clients get quality results, with solid communication and less stress throughout the process. One client really appreciated being "put in touch with a person who analyzes the financial health of condo HOAs" when they needed that specialized help.

You can check out examples of the amazing properties Veritas Homes has sold on their past sales page, which shows all kinds of successful deals across the Mid-Peninsula.

The team also believes in giving back to the community through their Change Homes Change Lives program, where they support causes their clients choose with part of each commission.
