About Todd Fortier

When I stepped into the role of Trustee for the estate of my childhood friend, I felt heavy with the responsibility of having to sell her home. We live out of state which made this responsibility even more daunting. Finding the right realtor was the first step, the most important one. I am so grateful that Todd Fortier was recommended to me by a friend. I trusted him immediately and quickly learned that we couldn’t have found a better person to represent us, inform us, guide us, advocate for us…successfully sell a home for us! From our first conversation to the last the morning we celebrated closing on the house, Todd was present. He understood the unique steps of selling a home that is part of a trust and was able to clarify things for us along the way. His attention to detail is remarkable. Todd was sensitive to the emotional nature of our situation and never lost sight of the fact that this was not just a house but a home, personal and important in the life of my friend and her daughter. He acted with care and empathy throughout the process. Todd was supportive in my decision to move fast and prepare the house to go on the market as soon as possible. Thanks to the relationships he has developed within the home improvement community and his exceptional capacity to pay attention to many moving pieces, all the work we chose to do on the house was accomplished on schedule. In addition to knowing the market and walking us through each step in selling the home, Todd has an aesthetic eye for design, color and space - the house and gardens were beautiful when it went on the market, ready to welcome the new owners. I said to him often, “we couldn’t do this without you!”

Working with Todd to purchase our home in the Berkeley Hills was a wonderful experience. As irst time home buyers, Todd made us feel comfortable from the get go, walking us through each step of the process with patience, warmth, and genuine care. In our search, he was consistently responsive to our questions and requests to view homes on a short notice. We ended up purchasing a home we hadn't been able to see in person, but becasue of Todd's support and deep understanding of our tatstes and preferences, we felt conident enough to move quickly. We're thrilled with our new home and with the service Todd offered us. Even after our close, he stayed attentive to our needs, helping out to prepare our home for our arrival. We'd love to work with him again in the furture.

We had a really positive experience working with Todd on the purchase of our home. Since we were already living in the house as renters, we didn’t need help touring properties—but Todd was still an essential part of the process. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and kept us informed every step of the way. He worked with care and efficiency to help us meet a key deadline, and he negotiated a fair price that we felt good about. Now that the home is officially ours, we’re feeling incredibly grateful to have had Todd’s support in making it happen.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Todd Fortier to sell our home and couldn't be happier with the experience and results. From our irst meeting to the inal closing, Todd demonstrated exceptional dedication and a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for us. Todd's knowledge of the real estate market is strong, and he has an excellent network of professionals to confer with. He took the time to understand our needs and crafted a strategy to improve our home and sell it at a great price. He also managed and inspected the improvements to our home, which saved us countless hours of headaches. His marketing plan was comprehensive and effective, and it resulted in multiple offers in a short period of time. Communication with Todd was always prompt and clear. He was available to answer any questions we had and provided regular updates throughout the process. His advice was invaluable, and his negotiation skills ensured that we got the best possible deal. What stood out the most about working with Todd was his genuine care and integrity. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. His positive attitude and unwavering support made the entire experience smooth and as stress-free as possible. Thanks to Todd's hard work, we sold our home at a price that met our expectations, and frankly exceeded the sale price of most homes in our area at the time. We highly recommend Todd Fortier to anyone looking for a committed, reliable, and dedicated real estate agent. He truly made a difference in the process and outcome of the sale of our home.

My wife and I first met Todd when he was hosting an open house for one of his irm’s listings. While we enjoy seeing what is for sale in our neighborhood, we were not actively planning to sell our home at the time. We shared with Todd that we would only consider selling if we found another property that met some very speciic criteria—price, single-story living, square footage, number of rooms, and overall character. To our surprise and delight, within just a few days Todd had identiied several homes that it our guidelines remarkably well. While none ultimately inspired us to make an offer, Todd immediately showed himself to be a thoughtful and attentive listener. Over the following weeks, he continued to present us with properties that genuinely matched our needs, never wasting our time on homes that were clearly outside our parameters. It was evident that he truly heard us and respected what we were looking for. Rather than rushing into a purchase, we decided to focus on improving our current home in preparation to sell. Having lived here for over 20 years without making major updates, we wanted guidance on which improvements would add real value while also making the house more comfortable for us to enjoy in the meantime. Todd carefully walked us through the options, offering honest advice on where upgrades would make the most sense and have the greatest impact. This is where Todd’s strengths truly stood out. He brought together an excellent network of skilled craftsmen and handled all of the coordination and scheduling. He helped source materials, including tile and paint, gathered samples, and guided us through countless decisions with patience and care. Most importantly, he ensured that every choice aligned with our vision for the home. Todd’s eye for design and understanding of how all the elements work together made the process feel manageable and even enjoyable. We are absolutely thrilled with the inal results in our living room, kitchen, and main-floor bathroom. These are spaces we will enjoy as we thoughtfully consider our next steps. None of this would have been possible without Todd’s involvement and steady guidance. On a personal level, we truly enjoyed working with Todd. His honest, direct, and straightforward communication was both refreshing and reassuring. He clearly understands the local real estate market and brings that knowledge into every conversation. His guidance has been invaluable as we take the next steps. We recommend him without reservation.

After 25 years in a home and neighborhood we loved, we decided to make move in pursuit of some things our Oakland Hills property could not offer –sidewalks, flat, walkable to BART and markets. The list was long and included a ree-lined street! A unicorn of sorts. We were looking for a change in lifestyle with the potential to age in place. In a competitive Berkeley market, Todd went above and beyond to help us navigate to a successful outcome. He is an excellent listener and immediately ntegrated our feedback into subsequent showings. Our time with him was always productive. He brings vision, which helped us explore the possibilities in each property, while also keeping the search focused. He helped us transform a long list of must-haves into clear priorities that we could realistically achieve. Todd is responsive and tenacious, so we always felt that he was putting his full resources to work for us. He stayed attuned to our process and the dynamic market. When the time and property were right, Todd had positioned us well. We happily prevailed as one of nine offers without feeling like we overpaid. We love our new house and neighborhood, while still feeling we have made a sound investment. We found the right home. We are extremely happy clients. Todd brings the right combination of expertise, creativity, and energy to his work.
