Christy Rueckert, Camarillo Real Estate Expert

I feel I work in a very rewarding profession. One of the things I enjoy most is the relationships I have developed with my clients, many of whom have become good friends. Please take the opportunity to view what some of my past clients have said about my work.
Sincerely,
Christy Rueckert

"Christy, Congratulations on earning Platinum Club for 2012. Each year you continue to rise above and become one of the top performers at Troop Real Estate. I am proud to have you a part of my team. See you in Maui!"

Recently Christy Rueckert helped us with the sale of our estate home in Camarillo. We felt she did an excellent job. From her first interview until the final close of escrow we found Christy to be knowledgeable, personable, and very professional. She, and her team, helped us prepare our home for sale, created beautiful marketing materials, and arranged several home showings. We negotiated the sale with Christy's good insight and experienced suggestions. If we had a question about the sale process, or just wanted some moral support, Christy was responsive and supportive in the most caring way. She knows the real estate business well and has great people skills. We would most definitely recommend Christy Rueckert to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home.

She is honest and has uncompromising ethics. We've worked with other top performing realtors in different geographic markets and Christy outshines them all.

"My husband and I recently moved to Ventura County about a year and half ago from out of state and wanted to settle down and buy a house. We found a real estate agent online with what seemed like great reviews but ended up not being for us. After many months wasted on the “house hunt” we then found Christy and her team. They were very professional and were just what we were looking for. When we were first introduced to Christy she arrived prepared with a resume and tons of helpful information. Since that first meeting Christy and her team dropped everything for house showings and helping us place offers. We soon found a great house in a great neighborhood and so far LOVE it. Christy and Cassie were on OUR side and helped us every step of the way. They were professional, prompt, educated, organized and very friendly! We definitely recommend Christy and her team to anyone who is
looking for a great real estate agent!"

Chris & Tammy de Boer

"Christy is very professional. She really listened and understood to what we wanted in a new home. She did not waste our time with homes outside our criteria. When it came time to make an offer, she was extremely helpful and guided us through the entire purchase process. I am most impressed with her after sales support. We had a few issues with the house and agreements made with the previous owner and Christy always responded promptly and helped to get the issues resolved. She is a true professional who truly cares about her customers."

Jon & Jessica Fimea

"From the very beginning, Christy made us feel like family members. She provided guidance and still left room for me and my wife to make the decisions. She was on top of every aspect of the entire process. It was almost wierd how she would answer questions that I had planned to ask. What more could anyone ask for? Christy made what could have been a very challenging experience, comfortable for us."

Greg Meiners

"This past month I decided to purchase a home with Christy Rueckert as my Realtor. I was very impressed with her professionalism and hard work. She made me comfortable in making the right decision to purchase. She is a go getter and would be an asset to any company. She has raised the bar for her co-workers. Thanks to Christy and Troop Real Estate I would never think of going any place else. Thank you!"

John & Suzanne Angelini

“Christy did an amazing job of professionally marketing our home in a DOWN REAL ESTATE MARKET. She is extremely professional, lists your home at a price to sell and does not just "List" the home. Once she has the listing she keeps working on selling the home as well. Many agents list the home and disappear. She keeps in contact with you, let's you know all comments, makes suggestions accordingly, and gets the job done. She works well with the seller and the buyer. She can make a deal happen. I would recommend Christy to everyone.”

Tim & Cheryl Simmens

"This was my third transaction with Christy, and just like all the others, it went smoothly as possible. Christy fought hard for our offer to be accepted and saw the transaction through until completion. I recommend Christy to anyone who needs assistance with a real estate transaction. She really does make it a stress-free process."

Tim & Kelly Schneider

"We've worked with a number of real estate professionals as we have bought and sold homes over the years. Our buying and selling experiences with Christy have been -by far- the best of all of them! We met Christy for the first time when she helped us sell our California home as we relocated out-of-state several years ago. Chrisy's expertise and integrity during the marketing and sale of our home impressed us so much that we didn't even consider working with anyone else when we recently moved back to California. Christy and her team worked to smooth the process for us, solving dilemmas with good humor and true innovation. They worked with us to help us reach our goals, listening to our concerns, keeping us up-to-date. Christy's incredible knowledge of the real estate industry and her excellent insight into making the right choices have left us not just satisfied, but very happy. We have no plans to move any time soon, but when the time comes we look forward to working with Christy & her team again. We whole-heartedly recommend Christy Rueckert to everyone buying or selling a home in Ventura County!"

Guy R. Buchwitz

"A couple of years ago, before Stephanie and I were married, my future wife was in a state of high anxiety. The "Assist to Sell" agent she hired had accomplished neither, and the price of homes we were in the market for had jumped $100K while waiting for her house to sell.

In frustration, Steph gave Troop a call. She could gradually feel her anguish subside as the calm, knowledgeable person at the other end of the phone carefully listened, verified her understanding of Steph's situation and interests, and began to suggest strategies for selling her home and showing us viable new properties. Luckily for us, the Troop Real Estate Agent to whom Steph was speaking was Christy Rueckert.

Within a few weeks Christy had Steph's home in escrow, and Christy was surely setting new industry records for patience and attention to specific customer preferences by engaging in a home showing marathon with us.

Steph and I never felt pressured by Christy to make a decision. She patiently listened to our concerns (and to our occasional fits of self doubt and indecisiveness), and offered excellent advice to help us through those exciting but stressful times.

Steph and I quickly came to the realization that Christy is a very well-networked, "full service" agent for Troop. Impressed with her support when selling Steph's home, I asked Christy to help me sell mine. When I needed advice on what things should be spruced up to maximize curb appeal and profit, she offered her own expertise and hooked me up witha knowledgeable general contractor with whom we worked to meet all my home and landscaping improvement requirements. When we were looking for a mortgage broker, Christy put us in touch with the President of Mortech - who she personally contacted to help us get the lowest interest rate and fees possible. She connected us with title companies, home inspectors, fumigation companies, moving companies, and even carpet stores - answering a million questions for us along the way. Christy always seemed to know reputable people who could assist us with whatever challenge we were facing at any given moment.

Christy had proven herself so helpful in so many different scenarios that eventually it became an inside joke between Steph and me. If the breeze happened to be blowing in a slightly unfavorable direction, or the sun seemed too bright and the nearby stand of eucalyptus trees needed to be moved to the left 100 feet to keep us in the shade, one of us would say to the other, "Darling, would you call Christy and ask her to please take care of this for us?"

Even after Christy had successfully sold Steph's home and mine and had helped us find our beautiful new home, it wouldn't be long before we again sought her support through Troop. Sadly, within a year of moving into our new home, Steph's mom passed away, and Stephanie highly recommended Christy to her family as a realtor they could trust with the sale of their parent's home. This would prove to be a challenge because Fillmore was quite a bit off Christy's beaten trail. More importantly, home sales were cooling off rapidly. It took a lot of faith and patience, but a couple of months ago escrow closed to the great relief of the family.

I'll wrap this soon, but we have one more insight about Christy that we'd like to share. During the course of working with Christy we became aware of a situation in which she had agreed to share responsibilities to support a client with another Troop agent. Unfortunately, the other agent could not be available to share equitably in the associated workload - requiring Christy - who had a baby on the way - to accomplish the lion's share of the effort. While under the circumstances Christy would have been within her rights to expect commensurate compensation, she put her professional relationship with her associate first and honored the terms of their original agreement. This wasn't the only time that it would become clear to us that ethics and professionalism were an important part of Ms. Rueckert's decision making process. Christy's demonstrated resolve to put her word to a teammate over personal financial gain impressed Steph and I, and we feel that her integrity, her knowledge, her professionalism, her empathy, her skill, her energy, and her commitment to our satisfaction and to keeping us well informed throughout four different real estate transactions all reflect very favorably upon Troop."

Steve

"I am grateful to have been linked with Christy and her team. They were always professional, punctual, experienced, knowledgeable and overall had all of the characteristics of a team that I wanted representing me. I was shocked to see how low the inventory of homes was in my price range. As we began to look for houses, we were always met with multiple offers and I was outbid a few times. In today's market, you better make sure you have an agent that will be available at a moments notice to drop everything, show you a home, and make an offer within 1-3 days of noticing a new listing. If you don't have this type of agent, you may not get the house you want. I ended up having an accepted offer on a short sale. This was a process that I was not prepared for. It is a lengthy process. Christy was aggressive in making sure that all of the other entities involved were staying on track. Ultimately I think I got a very fair deal and although the process was longer than I'd hoped, I'm convinced that without someone like Christy, the deal may never have closed. Every time Christy said she would do something, she did it. She knows how to make things happen. She also only seems to surround herself with top notch team members like Cassie. I appreciated that she also had referrals for lenders, home inspectors and insurance agents. The choice was always mine and I could have spent lots of time looking for them myself, but I figured out quickly that Christy would not recommend someone who's standards in their own industry were less than hers. I would absolutely use Christy as an agent again and would recommend her to anyone!!!"

Briza Alatorre

"Christy and her team made the whole process very smooth. As a first time home buyer, I did not know what to expect. Sometimes when I had a question, she was very quick to answer my concerns. Equally important, I also received references from her which turned out great. Overall, I'd say she is an expert in her profession."

Lonnie & Kathy Sizemore

"Christy was very helpful and understanding in trying to help us find our "dream" home. Christy's knowledge and explanations of short sales and REO's helped in our decision in purchasing. Christy worked hard to show our house and did an outstanding job staging the house to sell. We sold our house in 27 days in the current economic conditions. We would highly recommend Christy to all our friends and family."

Brianna & Jared Battles

"Christy, Thank you so much for your dedication, organization and help during our home buying process. You were so supportive and provided us with the guidance we needed as young, first time home buyers. We can't thank you enough! Our home is so much better than we thought we would be able to buy!"

Kevin & Liana Kalin

"Christy is the best! We have purchased homes before and have never had such a pleasant experience. The entire transaction went smoothly and efficiently. Christy is a consummate professional and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone."

Heather Bowling

"Christy is extremely professional and provides exceptional service! I work with Christy on a business level and when it came time to purchase a new home I couldn't think of a better agent to use. Christy really knows the market very well and I will definitely use her again in the future."

Bill Green & Kathy Moore

"We have worked with Christy several times now and both times the experiences have been wonderful. Not only did we get a great agent but someone we would call a friend."

David & Marie Kippen

"Christy was fantastic through the entire process. She makes you feel comfortable, explains things in a simple and to the point manner, and makes the process feel as stress free as it can."

Jay & Jeannette Rueckert

"Christy is an absolute professional who is resourceful, pro-active, responsive and a great communicator. She has outstanding real estate knowledge and a degree in economics. She is adaptable and has proven her skills during up & down markets. She handles the most meticulous details efficiently & effectively while always protecting her clients' best interests. She is honest and has uncompromising ethics. We've worked with other top performing Realtor's in different geographic markets and Christy outshines them all. We can confidently recommend Christy to you."

Craig & Denise Compton

"Christy is hardworking, efficient and caring. She listens to your needs, wants and concerns. She is also a wealth of information. Being a first-time home buyer we had a lot of questions going through the whole process. She was patient, knowledgeable and always gave 110%. Christy Rueckert is an amazing agent and HIGHLY recommended when it comes to your real estate needs."

Mike & Karin Wallin

"Searching for and buying a home can be a frustrating, tiring, and stressful experience. Christy's hard work made the experience a lot more enjoyable. She was very knowledgeable and always available for us. Christy really helped us to find the perfect home and we couldn't be happier. Christy is by far the best agent we've ever had and highly recommend her."

Ryan and Julie Becker

Christy Rueckert has been such a breath of fresh air in the whole process of the short sale of our home. She made a process that seemed so stressful and complicated run so smoothly. Christy was always professional, courteous, efficient, and most all, truly cared about us and are particular situation. We have worked with several Realtors in the past in the sale and purchase of other properties, but no one else has compared to Christy. She is the only Realtor that we could in good conscious recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you so much Christy!"

Taylor & Jenna Lucas

"Christy did a great job finding homes that suited our needs and did not pressure us into any purchases. She was very responsive to our questions during the entire process. Her staff took very good care of us and she lined us up with a great lender. Christy made the experience fun and easy."

"Super smooth transaction even though we live 150 miles away. Christy handled everything in a timely manner and kept us posted daily. She is professional and friendly and very knowledgeable."
Dan & Bobbie Sanocki

“Christy was very helpful and understanding in trying to help us find our "dream" home. Christy's knowledge and explanations of short sales and repo's helped in our decision in purchasing. Christy worked hard to show our house and did an outstanding job staging the house to sell. We sold our house in 27 days in the current economic conditions. We would highly recommend Christy to all our fiends and family.”
Lonnie & Kathy Sizemore

"We have sold about a dozen properties over the years and have never been as completely satisfied with any of our previous Realtors as with Christy. Her professionalism and attention to the endless details is unsurpassed from the very first meeting to the final handshake. She manages to make an otherwise stressful experience virtually painless. Thank you Christy! You are the only realtor that we unconditionally recommend to our friends and family."
Randy and Lisa Langham

"When I lost my job a couple months ago, we needed to get our condo on the market quickly so that we could sell it and move back to Florida. I immediately knew who I wanted to contact – Christy Rueckert. We had received several of her cards in the mail which said “I just sold another property in your area …”, and I remembered her name. I wanted someone who was familiar with our condo complex and who had had success in selling other units. We were not disappointed!Christy came to our home just two days after I contacted her. I figured we would have to start from scratch, but she came prepared with a whole folder of comparative market analyses, particulars about our condo, resume of her personal experience and qualifications and documentation about Troop Real Estate Inc. She already had min and max figures in mind for what we could expect to get for our condo – that really helps a seller to stay away from unreasonable expectations. But she never pushed anything on us, and always accepted our final decision on matters. Christy’s price guides were right on target, because we got an offer on the condo the first day after listing. The price offered was higher than any unit that had recently sold in our area. Two weeks later, the prospective buyers unexpectedly rescinded their offer. But before we could hardly say “Back on the market”, we had another offer which sailed right through to closing. The whole process, from the day we signed with Christy until the day our proceeds appeared in our bank account, took exactly two months – and that included the one false start. One sure sign that Christy’s star is rising is that she has partnered with Marilyn Heathcote, another Troop professional, to help offload some of the voluminous administrative paperwork that accompanies real estate transactions. This frees Christy to spend more face time with clients, which is so important in her business. All of Christy’s advertising is coordinated in theme and design, adding to the air of professionalism that accompanies her. Even though she has many clients, every time she contacted us, she made us feel like we were her only customers.Would we buy or sell another home through Christy Rueckert? Absolutely! … except that we will be in Florida and she will still be out here. But if we hear of any of our California friends who need to make a change in residence, we will immediately clue them in and tell them to skip the yellow pages - simply call 805-388-6880 and ask for Christy – she’ll take it from there."
Gratefully,
Bob & Linda Baker
P.S. "Almost forgot to mention, we have received a fantastic discount on our moving expenses by using the moving company with which Christy/Troop have a business relationship. Another good reason to Call Christy."

"Monique and I want to take this opportunity to formally thank Christy Rueckert for assisting us in purchasing our very first home in the beautiful city of Camarillo. In times of inflated real estate market prices, we were convinced we would not be able to purchase a single-family residence in Ventura County. We are forever thankful that we had the opportunity to meet Christy. Christy referred us to a select group of lenders with whom she has worked in the past. After speaking to a specific lender, we were pleased to discover that home ownership was possible. Based on the fact that Christy took the time to assist us in securing a mortgage, we ultimately decided to have her represent us in the home purchasing process. We are truly grateful we made that decision. Within days, we found a property, and Christy took over from there. Christy’s work ethic was very admirable. She clearly explained the entire process to us and took the time to ensure that all of our needs and desires were satisfied. What impressed us the most about Christy was her approachable personality, and the fact that she treats her clients as if they were close personal friends. Christy made the entire process stress-free and comfortable. Additionally, Christy always kept our best interests in mind. Christy possesses all the traits desirous of a real estate agent; she is reliable, punctual, energetic, sincere, honest, friendly, and perseverance. Every time we had a question, Christy had a prompt answer. Every time we had a concern, Christy had a prompt solution. Christy is unique in that she is fully committed to providing her clients with the very best service. I will not hesitate to recommend Christy Rueckert to anyone who is interested in either buying or selling a home. Christy helped our dreams of home ownership become a reality! Thank you very much Christy, for all you have done."
Our warmest regards,
Carl & Monique LeBlanc

"Amazing. That is the word that best describes the job that Christy Rueckert did selling our home. Christy kept us constantly informed about what was happening with the sale of our home. She kept us informed about other home sales in the area, and she consistently followed up with every agent that viewed our property. We had more showings with her in 2 weeks than we did during the previous 3 months when we (big mistake) had our home listed with a different agent. Christy had us 3 offers within that same 2 weeks, and she timed our counter offers so well that we ended up in a multiple offer situation. This allowed us to get top dollar for our home, and because the buyer she found us is planning on some extensive remodeling, it also saved us thousands of dollars in repairs. She has also remained in constant contact with us during our escrow, to make certain that everything has been on schedule and progressing smoothly. I would wholeheartedly recommend Christy to anyone who is considering listing a property in Ventura county, or anyone who needs a buyer agent. She really did an amazing job, and we are very thankful for all her help."
Sincerely,
Brian and Dianna Stuart

"We were the typical naive first time home buyers with no experience or knowledge of the real estate world. We were discouraged and intimidated with the soaring prices and interest rates starting to climb, we knew we had to act fast. Little did we know when making our first inquiry about a community in Camarillo we would meet the woman who would make our home buying dream a reality. Christy Rueckert came into our life by the grace of God and blessed us, with exceptional service and professionalism. From our initial tour of properties to completing the close of escrow, she accurately explained the "home buying process" (in layman's terms of course ), and responded promptly to all of our questions. She arranged any and all appointments for the necessary inspections, walk-thru's and document signing, while representing us to the highest degree. She was readily available at all hours of everyday to meet any demands we had of her. We were especially impressed with her consistency, and availability she provided through every stage of purchasing our home. Christy Rueckert demonstrates honesty, integrity and impeccable attention to detail. In this case, there is no substitution for our rewarding experience. We are extremely satisfied with her dedication, timeliness and remarkable work ethic. Her vibrant personality won us over and her focus, determination and perseverance enabled us to now live the American dream. Christy is an exceptional person and a true asset to the community. Thank you Christy for your guidance, support and friendship." Sincerely,
Erik and Alicia Sanchez

"This letter is written on behalf of Christy Rueckert. We had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Rueckert when we recently sold our condominium and purchased a townhouse. This experience was pleasant, trouble-free and uncomplicated because Mrs. Rueckert is professional, extremely knowledgeable, well-prepared, and efficient. She always responded immediately to our calls and always had an answer or a quick turn around with the necessary information. Furthermore, her sense of humor and smile is refreshing.Buying and selling a home can be a daunting effort; the paperwork and sundry tasks require patience, control and most importantly a level of trust and comfort between Realtor and clients. Mrs. Rueckert made the entire experience actually enjoyable.There is no doubt we highly recommend Mrs. Rueckert to anyone who wishes to engage a highly skilled, professional real estate agent to assist with the purchase or sale of their home."
Sincerely,
Kenneth Rudnick & Karen Gundelfinger

"It was a pleasure to get to know and work with Christy. She handled the sale of our property with great integrity and attention to detail. On the 3rd day of listing our property, we received an offer. Christy helped us to close in 30 days without any problems. Christy took on most of the stress of selling our property with a smile and made the experience comforting.
Thanks Christy!
Joe, Steph and Kalea Meno

"Christy Rueckert was a great help throughout our entire selling and purchasing process; she always had our best interest in mind. We have dealt with other agents in the past, and we really believe that Christy is the most reliable, personable, and helpful agent that we have worked with. We feel that she is not just our real estate agent, but our friend as well."
Colleen & Scott Mitchell

"Thank you for your help with the purchase of our new home in Camarillo. You did an excellent job. We would be glad to recommend you to any one wanting to purchase real estate."
Vick Smart

"Dear Christy, Thank you so much for the gift card and daily reminder. We appreciate your thoughtfulness and will certainly put both gifts to good use. So nice of you to do that for us!I enjoyed meeting you and found your kind & friendly personality refreshing. It was a pleasure to do business with you.May the new year bring you many happy clients and lots of good luck and happiness."
Joyce Smart

"I walked into one of Christy’s open houses in Mission Oaks without planning on buying anything. Christy introduced herself and it was immediately evident that she was a personable, outgoing, and hardworking person. While asking me questions about my preferences and what mattered to me in a home, Christy showed me around the open house. After a few minutes, I was uninterested in the property and was ready to leave. I spoke with Christy for a few minutes about my goals and plans. Christy had me sign her guest book with all of the usual information- name, address, desired price range, etc. I left unimpressed with the property I had looked at, but very pleased with Christy. Not more than a few days later, I received a hand-written note from Christy thanking me for visiting her open house and telling me she was available for whatever kind of real estate needs I might have in the future. Not long after that, Christy contacted me and told me she had been researching properties for me and she had some that fit my criteria and was within my price range. We went and looked at a couple of places and it was obvious to me that Christy paid close attention to what I desired in a home. I knew Christy was the agent for me. Christy was always easy to work with. She continuously adjusted her plans to accommodate my needs and demanding schedule. She came in early, stayed late, and always put in that extra effort. After a couple of offers and counter-offers on other properties, I found the property that was right for me. Christy’s attention to detail and hard work continued throughout the process as we ran into one obstacle after another during escrow. Not knowing much about the real estate business or the process in general, I was lucky to have an agent like Christy. I hear nightmare stories about other agents and even got to witness it on the opposite end of my transaction. I was great to know that I had someone I could count on every step of the way. Everyone should conduct business like Christy with professionalism, courtesy, and with the highest degree of integrity. It was a pleasure to work with Christy Rueckert."
Randall Paranick
