When most people say, they couldn’t have found a house without their realtor, they are often embellishing a bit. However, in our scenario, it truly wouldn’t have been possible. Not only does Tom have a high level of professionalism and is able to guide new home buyers through this crazy real estate market….he also has a network of relationships that’s grown in his over 40 years in real estate. My wife and I were young professionals, entering this hot market in 2023 with enough funds to qualify….but often not seen as competitive against all of the high down payment or cash offers. My wife and I began to lower our expectations and look at houses outside of our preferred search area or criteria, in hopes of finding a hidden treasure. Under Tom’s guidance, we didn’t jump too quickly at any house we weren’t in love with, as this would be a large investment in our future. We placed a few offers; but, knew not to over commit unless we loved the home completely. After searching for just over a month, we were able to find a beautifully remodeled single family home in Buena Park that just fell out of escrow. We made an offer at the asking price, after which my wife and I prepared ourselves for a bidding war. To our surprise, Tom had recently completed a deal with the listing agent, whom was also the seller after having remodeled the home. Our offer was accepted, and Tom made this stressful process seamless and easy. After moving into our new home, we ran into the listing agent whom shared kind words regarding Tom’s professionalism and business acumen. The agent also shared that they were interested in doing one last open house to receive multiple offers. However, due to his prior experiences with Tom, he chose to move forward with us! Thank You again Tom for helping my wife and I find our first home just in time before our baby boy arrives.
