I had the privilege of working with Tom Grimes during a complex real estate transaction while I was living overseas for over five years. He was introduce to me by a schoolmate of mine. Despite the challenges of coordinating across time zones and managing intricate logistics, Mr Grimes provided unwavering support and exceptional expertise throughout the process. From the outset, Mr Grimes displayed remarkable professionalism, ensuring clear and consistent communication every step of the way. He not only guided me through the intricacies of the real estate market but also went above and beyond by introducing me to trusted mortgage brokers, simplifying the financing aspect of the deal. Thanks to his dedication, resourcefulness, and keen attention to detail, we successfully closed the transaction. Mr Grimes commitment to excellence and client satisfaction made what could have been a daunting process remarkably smooth and efficient. After all this he has become more of a friend than a real estate agent to us, I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable real estate agent.

Our decision to sell our home was sudden and unanticipated. But from the moment we made up our minds, Tom was quick to get the ball rolling in setting us up with what was needed to go to market. We have known Tom for a few years as he is well known in our neighborhood and is very knowledgable about the area. Over time, we've built a relationship chatting about our kids, the area, real estate, so when we decided to sell, Tom was an obvious choice. One of the great things about Tom, is that he is very adaptable. Whether it's you leading the way in how you want to do things while also asking him for suggestions and guidance, or having a particular time line or certain requirements with showing your home, he will work with what your needs are. He's also very knowledgeable about the current market and trends, allowing you to set a competitive price or make a sound offer. During our selling process we had a few things come up that were unexpected and Tom's response was to help us understand the situation and offer possible solutions. Another great thing about Tom is you can always get a hold of him. If you leave a message, send a text or email, he gets back to you, you're never left hanging. This proved invaluable over the course of our home sale. I have bought and sold a few homes over the years with different agents, all of whom were very good. This experience with Tom as our agent has been excellent, from the moment we talked about selling our home to closing escrow, we couldn't be happier with the process and outcome.

Unlike other real estate agents, Tom made an excellent impression on us when Eric and I first met him at 32 Arboles Irvine for an open house. He presents himself very professionally and friendly during the open house. I felt like very welcome and comfortable when he greeted us and answered the questions we asked. You felt you related to him not only as an agent but a friend as well. After we met at the open house, Eric Chu, my son, continuously communicated with Tom via emails and phone calls for questions and procedures related to purchasing the subject property. During this time, Tom patiently offered his professional experience guiding us through all inspections and required reports, providing timely information, and helping ease sellers’ concerns about the long delay in removing the contingency due to the switch of lenders. Tom advised us to release a portion of the earnest deposit to the seller to show our due diligence to obtain the approval of the loan at no time. With Tom’s consistent effort, guidance, and assistance, we were able to go through this long and challenging process until the Escrow was closed. In addition, Tom organized a dinner for both parties, sellers and buyers, to socialize and interact with each other in person, and that was a great dinner for us to get to know each other more in-depth. Tom is a down-to-earth and authentic person, and we are so lucky to have him help us with this transaction and become a true and good friend with him.

Tom is spectacular. He went above and beyond to help me with a successful transaction. He’s so diligent, very honest, communicates well, and most importantly, a great partner that relieved my stress as a first time home buyer. He’s the best in the business and I’d highly recommend him! I will refer him to all my friends and colleagues.

Tom is the ultimate professional and was able to find a renter for me inside a week. Sends me timely updates and keeps me i the loop all the time.

Tom handled the buying of our home with excellence and efficiency.
