As an out-of-town seller, I was fortunate to have found a true professional to represent my interests. Tom was always 1 step ahead and able to anticipate & solve any problems that popped up. I was always kept informed and Tom was always available. Because of his expertise, the entire process could not have been easier or gone more smoothly. I always felt Tom was advocating for me and had my best interests in mind. He is truly the best realtor I’ve ever dealt with! I couldn’t be more pleased and would recommend him to anyone!

We've known and used Tom for years. He is a professional in every aspect of real estate. He understands the market, his experience allows him to see "potential issues" in a home before they appear, his keen sense of people and how to communicate combined with his hard work ethic make him a top agent pick for us. He's sold a home for us and helped us buy another. There's nothing too big or too small for him to take on. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for an agent that will get their house sold - even when the market isn't great!

Our last house Tom sold in one day, and we got more than the asking price. He made the process very easy.
He also helped us buy a house. He actually he has sold 4of our house
and helped us buy several other homes.
He always answered his phone and is very easy to get ahold of.

Over the past several years, Tom has made three sales and two purchases an absolute breeze for me. He is there for you every step of the way and anticipates what will be needed. He knows the market and knows the other professionals needed during the process of sales and purchases. Turn things over to Tom and just rest easy as he takes care of every detail for you.

Tom and Greg communicated all along the way. Great knowledge, friendly and were always available. I cannot be happier with how they led us through the process. We encountered a number of problems with buyers lender but they remained calm, cool and responsive. Without them the closing would not have happened. This is a strong qualified duo. Thank you Tom and Greg! Would highly recommend them to all friends and family. You would be wise to have them on your side.
