I was entrusted with the sacred responsibility of settling someone’s estate, and it was my first time navigating the sale of a home. I am deeply grateful for Tom’s steady presence and guidance throughout the entire process. I truly could not have done it without him. I feel both grateful and blessed.

Never did we have to question what was next , always had answer for situations, communication was excellent, this was a difficult sale and many things COULD have gone wrong but Tom was ahead on the game . Highly recommended!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a real estate agent. His attention to detail, proactivity, integrity and clear communication helped make the process as smooth as it could be. I believe anyone fortunate enough to have Tom as their real estate agent will not regret it.

We had the best experience with Tom Grimes representing us to sell our home. Our primary concern was selling our home quickly, so we relied upon Tom's experience and candor in determining a listing price for our home. Tom is honest, diligent, organized, and so easy to work with! He updated us on the activities and comments of potential buyers during our open house/showings. When we received an offer, he clearly communicated our options, patiently and clearly answering our questions. As we proceeded through the purchase transaction process, he kept us informed of the status and compliance with all the negotiated terms. Through the entire process, from preparing to list and show to the final closing, we were confident that Tom was representing and advocating for us. We appreciate his efforts on our behalf to make a process that could be very stressful as smooth as possible. If you want an honest, caring, diligent person to represent your interests in your real estate transaction, contact Tom Grimes.

Has great knowledge and experience , was very flexible and approachable

Tom not only is an expert in the Irvine area, but he helped us find a contractor for remodeling at a great price. Great communication - great insight - just great service. You can’t do better than Tom

I know he was very busy with other properties during this period, but he would always get back to me, sometimes late in the evening. I never felt rushed. He would explain things until they were understood.

My home was difficult to sell and Tom worked hard to resolve and mitigate issues to get the best offer. He was diligent and his knowledge of the neighborhood and property was important in getting the best representation of my home

We worked with Tom to sell our condominium in Irvine. We were so impressed with his local knowledge, feel for the market, and communication skills. Tom shared insights from his years of experience in the area and perfectly steered our thinking as to price, need to remodel (and scope), and listing timing. He was always easy to reach, communicated well and quickly, and updated us consistently on how our sale was proceeding. He put in the extra time with multiple open houses, and ensured that our condominium was best represented both in person and online (great photos, drone shots). He handled everything to the end of the sale, as we live out of State. Kudos!

Tom made our very complicated buying experience seem effortless. We started dealing with him as we were living overseas. He made us comfortable throughout the process. So glad to have him as our agent.

Tom has a great deal of expertise in the Irvine area and knows Rancho San Joaquin better than anyone else. He is extremely patient and worked with me until I found exactly what I was looking for - there was no sense of pressure to get a transaction done. He followed through with all issues and provided a great deal of help post-close to get my home ready to move in. I would definitely use Tom again.
