Tom McCloskey - Realtor Par ExcellenceFinding the right person to handle the intricacies of either the purchase of your new home, the sale ofyour current home or both at the same time (as was our case) is an important decision. This isparticularly true given the recent changes affecting the real estate industry. To this point, we werefortunate to have Tom McCloskey represent us in our recent home selling/buying experience. We metTom on a random occasion some time ago and immediately liked his bigger than life personable style.This led us to a further conversation with him as we began the realtor selection process.As we now have experienced, Tom demonstrates the best overall skill set of any realtor with whomwe’ve ever worked. Each step of the way, we knew he clearly had our best interest in mind. Ineverything his follow-up was impeccable on the myriads of details associated with the process. Andwhile his 12 years of experience came through on the specifics of real estate transactions, i.e.paperwork, deadlines, appointments; he consistently maintained a friendly, business-like and positiveapproach. As an example, when a challenging point came up that required a negotiated solution, healways had a useful recommendation or viable alternative.

Tom told us what to ask for our house ($150,000+ MORE than a previous broker), as well as the price we should expect. We had a buyer in about three weeks who gave us exactly the price we had expected. It wasn't magic. From the beginning Tom was precise, clear, and—extremely important for me—always available by phone, text, or email. He does his homework and knows what he's talking about, which is exactly what our friends who recommended him said before we had ever me him.
Tom has been my go-to guy for well over a decade - I appreciate his work ethic, his state of the art marketing and computer skills and his overall knowledge of the various markets in which we dabble. Tom is an asset in any transaction in which we have taken part!
Tom recently sold my home on the Peconic Bay. He was detailed oriented and highly professional, making the entire process virtually stress free. I would highly recommend him.
Tom represented my family in buying land on the North Fork where we built a home. The entire process of working with Tom was fantastic! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and the building process and communicated very well with us. He walked us through every step as we looked at many properties, all with the utmost professionalism, patience and good nature. We highly recommend Tom and would absolutely work with him again.
My husband and I found Tom McCloskey completely by happenstance, but were delighted with his professionalism and expertise in everything from the differences among local North Fork communities to the prevailing wind and fishing conditions. We appreciated the fact that if he didn't know the answer to one of our (many) questions, he said so, then got back to us quickly with the information we needed. Tom is also extremely proactive when it comes to communicating with the listing agent, facilitating water testing, septic inspection, etc., and he made the process a genuine pleasure for us. Now, ten years into this new chapter of our lives, we couldn't be happier with the role Tom played in finding the perfect house for us.
Tom is a true professional in the real estate industry. He readily understood our needs even when we had difficulty finding a voice. Tom is a skilled negotiator and discreet, clever and firm when it comes to working for his clients. There is no other professional on the North Fork that I would turn to if we decide to sell the property Tom found for us.
I am pleased to write a review of our experience with Tom. We first met him back in the Spring when we were inquiring about selling my mother's house. It seemed like an insurmountable task to clean out the house and then get it listed but Tom was supportive, warm and professional along the way. He used his own personal experiences to help guide and advise us. We are so impressed that he kept in touch with us from beginning to end; when it came time to actually list the house, again, he was right there to help with guidance about the current market. The house was shown on Thanksgiving weekend and under contract in just a few days. Tom was an excellent communicator in every respect. Since we are not local, he treated the house like it was his own. We are so grateful for all that he did and would recommend him in a heartbeat.
I was very fortunate to work with Tom in purchasing my North Fork cottage. He took the time to listen and get to know what I was looking for in a house. He only showed me properties that were within my budget and style. Tom always returned emails/ phone calls in a timely manner. He always was available to answer any questions, no matter how small or trivial. Through Tom’s hard work and dedication, he was able to find my perfect place. Tom is a talented person, who is honest and dedicated to his clients.
Tom is an excellent agent who really understands the market and the ins and outs of making a deal come together. Very responsive to all my questions/requests and communicated in an honest and direct manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, particularly in the high end market arena.
Tom is a true professional in the real estate industry. He readily understood our needs even when we had difficulty clearly explaining things. Tom is a skilled negotiator and discreet, clever and firm when it comes to working for his clients. We originally purchased our home with Tom and promised to return for his guidance if we decided to sell. Because of an overseas employment opportunity, we returned in a panic to hire Tom to sell the property. He calmed us, took charge of all details and managed to have multiple offers at asking price within 3 weeks. I would entrust my real estate needs to no one else if we decide to return to the North Fork.
