" We had not sold a house in over 30 yrs. Tom was excellent in helping us navigate the selling process from the first consultation to closing. He was always prompt to return calls or texts, and was always willing to walk us through each step along the way. He was very experienced in negotiations when it came to multiple offers which we also appreciated greatly. We depended on his expertise to help us make decisions concerning the offers and without his guidance the process would have been difficult for us. Having a realtor with multiple years experience is a huge plus. Tom was always gracious and professional and we would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to sell their home.

"Tom was the absolute best! From start to finish, he advised and guided us through the selling and buying process. This wasn't our first time buying / selling, but it was our first time working with Tom and I couldn't be happier with the results. I would definitely recommend Tom to anyone looking to buy/sell. Absolutely wonderful experience. Thanks for everything!"
"Tom did a great job handling some major issues for us at the last minute with the buyer's mortgage company being extremely difficult and trying to avoid paying at closing. Tom helped us work with the title company to overcome the surprise problems posed by the buyer's nightmare mortgage company. We were fortunately able to complete the sale just before the big freeze of 2021."
"From the very beginning we had a good feeling about Tom. Over the course of selling our house, he proved our initial feelings right. Tom's expertise and knowledge of the local market allowed us to sell our house quickly, leverage multiple offers and even navigate the tricky business of accepting a direct offer. He did extra effort working with the direct offer buyer, at all times advocating for us. This has been our best real estate experience to date. It was a pleasure working with Tom and we will recommend him over and over again."
"I am not a fan of realtors at all. It has always been a struggle to work with them and I have fired several. When our ultra picky neighbor sold their home and recommended Tom, we thought we might be able to work with him. Tom is extremely personable AND professional; a rare combo in this industry. He always answered his phone or gave time for a callback and then ACTUALLY called back. His knowledge in the area is vast and was critical in the sale of our home. This is the first, and probably only time, I can actually recommend a realtor. If you want a smooth and easier sale of your home, call Tom today and hire him. This is the one you are looking for."
