My family and I just sold and purchased 2 houses with Tom and he made the process very easy. Tom takes time to listen to his clients makes sure they're getting what they want and need. He makes you feel like your not only his valued client but his friend. I would recommend selling or purchasing your next home with Tom. I will definitely be using him again! Thanks Tom!
