I have contracted Tom for three different transactions and each has been perfect. He knows the market, trending home sales and giving his clients the best information on how to buy or sell a home. He is very personable and works extremely hard for his clients. You're in great hands with Tom.
Tom Carraher brought me an opportunity. A condominium was listed for sale in Oak Park IL. The original owner had purchased two units from the developer and had them joined. Tom recognized that separating the unit back to two units held substantially greater value than the asking price. We purchased the property and sold the first unit without listing it. The second unit sold within two weeks of listing. Both unit set sales price records for similar units in the building. Tom's knowledge and expertise made this all possible. I am working with Tom now to find our next successful project.
As first time homebuyers we needed a lot of support with the home buying process. Tom was a huge help throughout the entire time. From finding listings, to writing out a timeline for us, he was there every step of the way. His extensive knowledge of the Oak Park area and his years of experience made us feel at ease and confident while making this important decision. We highly recommend Tom anyone looking to purchase a home!
Tom was recommended to us by a friend and I have recommended him to many of my friends in the 4 years since we bought our house. Tom knows the housing stock, the neighborhoods, and the PEOPLE of Oak Park better than anyone else I have met. Not only is Tom knowledgeable about real estate, he's also just a terrific guy---personable, fun, and patient. I have stayed in touch with Tom since we bought our house (which we love) and he is quick to provide recommendations for service providers who help keep our house shipshape. If you are moving to Oak Park or one of the surrounding villages this is your guy.
We just sold a large home in Oak Park. We were quite nervous about it because other large homes in our neighborhood sat on the market for months. Tom worked us to help develop a great story on the history of our home. He was so supportive of our desire to have a website developed just for our house. Stunningly, we sold in 10 days. Everything went so smoothly including the closing. Tom even managed to negotiate with the new owners to allow us time to stay in the home until our new residence was ready. Tom represents the integrity, honesty, knowledge and hard work of a successful realtor. You will not be disappointed.
