As first-time homebuyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to guide us through the process. From day one, Tom took the time to explain every step in detail, answered all of our questions with patience, and made sure we felt confident in every decision we made. Buying a home for the first time can feel overwhelming, but Tom made it feel manageable and even exciting. Tom’s knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and honest advice helped us find the perfect home without ever feeling pressured. We always felt like Tom truly had our best interests at heart. Tom was incredibly responsive, proactive, and supportive from our first showing all the way through closing. Thanks to Tom’s expertise and dedication, what could have been a stressful experience turned into a smooth and memorable one. We are so grateful for everything Tom and his team did for us and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any first-time homebuyer looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in their clients’ success.

Our experience with Tom Bashe and Localist Realty has far exceeded our expectations. We’ve used Tom and Localist Realty several times now and have been pleased every time to say the least. He and his team are more than just realtors; they are partners at a time when you’re making major changes in your life. Tom not only helped us find and sell our homes but also helped when we needed construction help, painters, etc. He has a team of people available at reasonable prices to make the move so much easier and uncomplicated; not to mention how simple his team made buying and financing our home! Tom always made us feel comfortable and confident with him in our corner, looking out for our needs; and he always happily explained anything to us that we weren’t sure of. If anyone is looking to buy or sell their home or property - we would heartily recommend Tom and Localist Realty. They become the friends you need to partner with you!

Tom was absolutely awesome to work with for our recent purchase in The Colony. He and the team are very responsive and help us navigate the process seamlessly. I would most highly recommend Tom for any real estate transaction. His in depth knowledge of The Colony for us was invaluable and we were able to find the perfect home for us at this time of our lives.

We cannot say enough great things about Tom! From start to finish, he went above and beyond in every way possible. He was professional, responsive, and truly had our best interests at heart. What stood out most was his trustworthiness and dedication, qualities that are rare to find. We honestly wouldn’t have gotten our house without his persistence and guidance. He made the process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. If you’re looking for a realtor who will go the extra mile, Tom is the one you want by your side. Highly, highly recommend!

Tom Bashe did an excellent job in listing and selling our single-family rental. I have a real estate brokers license and still chose to use Tom. He was knowledgeable about the market. Solid price recommendations, complete marketing plan and had service contacts to help prep the house for sale at reasonable prices. He was responsive 24/7 to any questions and returned calls and texts promptly. I felt he had our best interest in mind and was representing us to maximize our return and to achieve our stated goals when we listed the property. I could not feel more comfortable in recommending Tom.

Tom Bashe is hands down the best realtor we’ve ever worked with. He sold our home quickly and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Tom went above and beyond, personally attending showings, keeping us updated, and guiding us with a clear strategy. His expert negotiation skills secured the best outcome for us, and his professionalism gave us total confidence from start to finish. If you’re looking for a realtor who is proactive, reliable, and gets results, we highly recommend Tom Bashe!

I just LOVED Tom Bashe!!!! First off very professional in presenting himself from our first meeting! He had a book like binder with our home in it and then all the comps and info I needed to help me make an informed decision on listing price. Other realtors just shoot them out in an email but Tom had made this very professional binder like book for us!!! Right there said a lot!!! Second of all he cared what we wanted to make in our pocket not just selling it and not caring what we got. From that day forward Tom said he would show us offers that came in but he held out caring for my sister and I first, and made sure that what he sold it for would make what we wanted DOWN to the final dollar in our pocket. That’s honesty right there. I was blown away! He was always free to talk to and text with. He answered in minutes. I never had to wait for him. Everything he told us was honest!!!!! He never changed anything up or twisted information it was honest down to the last document. Nothing he ever said was different from what was promised. Our transaction was smooth he did all docs online and if we wanted to we could come in to the office too! I would HIGHLY recommend Tom as a realtor if u want an HONEST realtor down to the penny!!!! I was stressed Mom just died, Tom was compassionate with us and made this STRESS free selling moms home. I haven’t had a business dealing like this in years. Tom you are to be commended. Thank you for all you did for us. Thank you is not enough, Sharon Ellis

Tom Bashe exceeded our expectations as a real estate agent. From the start, his deep knowledge of the local market and the nuances of buying an investment property stood out. He consistently offered valuable insights and strategic advice throughout the process—whether it was pricing, negotiations, inspections, or repair estimates. What we appreciated most was Tom’s willingness to speak up and offer his professional opinion when it mattered. He wasn’t just there to facilitate the transaction—he actively helped us make smarter, more informed decisions. Beyond his role as an agent, Tom went above and beyond by connecting us with reliable inspectors and contractors, personally visiting the property for photos and walk-throughs, and even providing access to tools and his team for some of the early repairs. Thanks to his guidance, we closed on a great deal, and the entire process was smooth and efficient. We were so impressed that we also chose to use his property management services for our rental. If you're buying a home—especially an investment property—you want someone with experience, honesty, and follow-through. Tom brought all of that and more. Highly recommend.

Tom was extraordinary when it came to pricing and selling, and marketing knowledge. My home sold fast! I am extremely pleased with his services!

Tom Bashe is the absolute best at what he does in my opinion. We bought and sold my first home with Tom and have had several successful real estate transactions since. You cannot substitute the experience and aptitude this gentleman has. His experience has been apparent in every purchase we have done with him. Small things you may not think of that may be important to your purchase in the long term. His knowledge of the process and what should be done and when. (For us he’s found other parties process mistakes and corrected them to help close a deal) His attention to detail. His patience. His connections with service providers. The way he communicates. We truly can’t be happier and grateful enough for all the guidance and help we have received from him when buying and selling our first home, to helping us get into our dream home. IMO you want to work with someone who is intelligent, kind, patient, and can truly guide you through each step for what can be a challenging process. For us that person is 100%, Tom Bashe.

Tom is a true professional who knows the area, legal requirements, and details of inspections and contingencies involved in purchasing a home. Tom set up a portal for us and took us on several tours looking at houses. He was always informative and patient. While in escrow, he spent hours reviewing/explaining documents and he answered all our questions. He scheduled all appointments for inspections and repairs while coordinating escrow and banking requirements. He was always available and resolved every issue for this purchase. We highly recommend Tom if you are looking to buy or sell a home. He knows how to find suitable neighborhoods, inspect homes, get people to do repairs, and even supervise the work. After escrow closed, we still had questions and needed help. He is still stopping by to help us.

Tom Bashe gets results! Whether you are buying or selling your home, selecting Tom as your real estate professional will be the best decision that you have ever made. This is not hyperbole. This statement is based on my personal experience and best describes what you will be telling your friends, family members, and others who need someone on their Team to lead them through the most important process of their lifetime. Market analysis and the most effective marketing strategy today will be the driving forces leading to a timely outcome. Tom prides himself in setting collaborative goals and works relentlessly to sell your home or find the home that best meets your family’s needs. He effectively communicates with you, buyers, and other agents, which is essential in reaching your goals. His attention to details and the finer points of the process will put your mind at ease and give you comfort knowing that your expectations will be exceeded in such a way that it leaves a lasting impression. Without reservation or hesitation, I highly recommend Tom Bashe to be your real estate professional. Ronald Koenig, Ed.D.
