Our homebuying experience was a wild one due to Covid. Thomas throughout the whole process was very patient and above all else compassionate and understanding of our situation. We never felt pressured and we always felt that he had our back, and was always at the ready when we saw a house on RedFin and were acting like children in a candy store, and also handled my wife's neurosis beautifully and with patience. Because of Covid we were having trouble getting any traction on our offers, and Thomas went above and beyond in the process and did his best in helping us submit our best offers. The house we are now going to call home, almost didn't happen because I was tired of the process and had lost hope in finding a home. Thomas gave us a gentle nudge and just kept his optimism on and sure enough, the next day we saw the house/condo and a few days later we were in escrow. Part of that was his great communication, being on top of things and also helping us work through so many obstacles we faced because of my 401K's rules. Throughout the home buying process Thomas was right there by our side, making sure things were taken care, and our loan docs were all in order and that all our questions were answered. I consider Thomas a part of our family now. read more

I met Tom while checking out a home in West Covina where I live. I want to sell my house and buy a bigger home, he was able to answer my questions and offered to give me a free report of comparables so I know what my home is worth first. He also explained the mortgage process, and knows people that can preapprove a loan for my complicated transaction, although I think I got the mortgage part covered thru my credit union. Since I work long hours, I dont have a very flexible schedule to view homes, so he's been patient with me and my family, showing homes at my convenience at odd hours and short notice, now that's customer service.

We met Thomas while looking for a home, we attempted to do it on our own but getting in contact with the selling agents was a nightmare due to my schedule and my fiancés schedule.

Once one of our offers got accepted he followed up with the lender, contacted me to inform me of the progress and when issues with income verification came up he assured me that things happen and he would follow up with the lender to make sure things where on schedule, which took so much stress off our backs.

Thomas really knows this business we meet Thomas through some relatives that had worked with him in finding them a home and they told us how happy they were with his knowledge and thorough work ethic. So we decided to give him a shot. And we are so glad we did. After we were pre approved on a loan he got to work. We went looking at homes right away. He would schedule appointments around our schedules and then line up several homes that he thought we would be interested in from our discussions that we had before hand. We would put offers in and not get accepted or we would get over bid and we looked for months, every weekend. We started to get discouraged and Thomas kept telling us" your home is out there". So we kept after it and finally we found "our home" and we couldn't be happier. read more

I met Thomas while I was out house hunting. My house was on the market and I already had a realtor. I stopped at one of his open houses. He was such a friendly person and really knew his business. A couple of weeks later there was an open house in my community and I went to look at the unit and lo and behold, there is Thomas again! I did not sell my house with the first or second realtor. Thomas kept in touch with me and I decided to let him sell my home. He sold it in 3 months! And at a great price! There was a minor repair that needed to be done and I had no idea how to get that repair done. Thomas went out of his way to personally find someone that could do the repair and he did some of the repair himself. How many realtors do you know that will personally take the time to come help with a repair so that your house can get sold? Thomas did! And they did a beautiful job! Not only is he very knowledgeable in the realty business but he will go the extra mile to make sure your house gets sold. Now because of his dedication and amazing customer service I am able to finally retire. And he liked my little Boxer Lucy and she liked him, which is saying a lot. Thomas is a very knowledgeable, honest, hardworking, dedicated and outstanding person. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. read more

He was very helpful , he found houses that fit our criteria, and was knowledgable of those properties we went to see, he was more than willing to answer ALL of our MANY questions about each house we visited. He acted as though he was looking for himself. When it came down to purchasing a house AGAIN he answered our questions or sent us to who could answer them. The thing I appreciated about Thomas the most is he is DOWN TO EARTH! Not stuffy or arrogant, he was like a family friend trying to help us find just what we wanted. To make a long story longer, we ended up buying the very house we were renting, the house was not on the market yet but he contacted the owner made a deal... Did his magic and ( with a few bumps) that's where we ended up. WE, I would definitely recommend him to sell your house or help you buy one. I feel he became a new family member! GO THOMAS.
