My wife and I HIGHLY recommend Tom if you are looking to buy a home in Northern Virginia. Tom grew up in McLean, and raised 4 kids in the McLean Hamlet. We picked Tom because we knew his experience in the region would prove invaluable, and we were right! Tom found us a beautiful, and extremely well maintained home on a cul-de-sac in the McLean Hamlet. Even in a strong sellers market, we purchased our home at what we believe to be below market value, because Tom was able to get us under contract before the home was available to the public. Tom's impressive knowledge of the homes in McLean Hamlet provided a definitive advantage in eliminating the competition and helped us focus our energies on properties that fit our needs and our budget. We loved Tom's honest and easy going approach. Tom's reputation clearly won over the listing agent, and even more importantly, Tom also won over the sellers. The sellers knew we were serious buyers, because the sellers knew Tom. They knew Tom would not waste their time, and that we would not walk away like a previous buyer under contract had done. We closed with immediate equity, and are loving our new home. Tom lives right down the street and it feels good to know we have a resource with decades of experience in the region that we can go to for recommendations and advice. We would be remiss if we also didn't mention the mortgage broker Tom recommended, Brad Pace of U.S. Bank. Brad and his team were amazing! They didn't even flinch at the prospect of crunching the numbers on our small business income during the peak of the COVID pandemic. We shopped around and Brad was able to offer the best rate hands down. Give Tom a call, we know you won't regret it. read more
