Working with Tom was easily the best decision we made during the process of selling my father’s home. While many realtors claim to provide full service, Tom truly redefined the term. Not only did he guide us through the complexities of the Rossmoor market, but he also stepped in to manage an entire remodel of the property. When we hit a major hurdle with unexpected flooding in a bathroom, Tom didn't miss a beat. He coordinated the repairs, managed the contractors, and kept everything on track while keeping us completely stress-free. What could have been an incredibly overwhelming experience felt effortless because we had Tom in our corner. His dedication, professionalism, and willingness to take on the 'heavy lifting' are rare in this industry. If you want a realtor who is as invested in your success as you are, I cannot recommend Tom highly enough.

It was a pleasure working with Tom. He is a dedicated professional who works tirelessly to ensure your home sells for its true value without compromising on quality. Tom managed every detail—from clearing and cleaning to repairs and documentation—making the entire process seamless. I highly recommend him for his work ethic and attention to detail

Tom did a great job handling our purchase of a home in Rossmoor. He was super responsive and on top of all the details. Escrow closed in just 30 days without a hitch. This was entirely due to Tom’s knowledgeable and timely follow through on all the documents, inspections and details large and small. He really understands Rossmoor properties and valuations. I recommend him highly without reservation.

I was looking to move back to Walnut Creek so I could be closer to family. I had heard about Rossmoor and the fact it was a 55+ community appealed to me, but I really didn’t know all that it had to offer either in terms of housing or amenities. I decided to reach out to the aptly named Rossmoor Realty and in doing so I was put in touch with Tom Donovan. Boy did I get lucky! Tom is so well versed in all things Rossmoor and quickly understood what I was looking for. He took the time to ask me a lot of questions, listened attentively to my answers and showed me how and why Rossmoor was the place for me. We quickly found two units I was interested in, but I was waiting for my place in Leisure World Seal Beach to close escrow and encountered several issues with that closing owing to very blasé and uncommunicative realtors. When one of the two units I was interested in sold, Tom did not hesitate to offer valuable counsel and guidance to ensure I would not miss out on the second unit … and I’m happy to report his efforts enabled me to get the unit I wanted. Of the seven or so relators I have worked with in the past, none compared to Tom – his professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge about Rossmoor and commitment to what was in my best interest exceed all expectations. I could not recommend him enough!

This is my fourth real estate transaction with Tom at Rossmoor Realty. He is always very attentive to every detail and extremely professional and well informed on properties inside & outside of Rossmoor. He has always proven to be trust worthy and very knowledgeable in finding exactly what I want to meet my needs.

Working with Tom Donovan has been a pleasure. His knowledge of the real estate market, attention to detail, and kind guidance throughout the process made this purchase a seamless endeavor!

Working with our realtor, Tom Donovan, was a pleasure from beginning to end. He is professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with! Tom patiently helped us find exactly what we were looking for, while making the search enjoyable and stress free. We couldn’t be happier with our experience, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent help buying or selling a home.

Tom has helped out our family now on two occasions, both buying and selling a property in Rossmoor. When it came time to sell recently, there was no question that the only realtor I would go with was Tom. Tom is the most knowledgeable, professional, friendly and efficient realtor I have ever met or worked with. On both occasions working with Tom he made the process so smooth and stress free. Tom’s experience really shows. He communicates so well and he is so easy to work with. I can’t emphasize enough how well Tom knows Rossmoor. He was able to guide me through the process and had answers to all my questions. I would highly recommend Tom Donovan. He is, by far, the best realtor I have ever worked with.

I started my quest for my ‘perfect’ new home as I was in the process of fixing and selling my home of over 50 years. It took around a year! Needless to say… I had a LOT to pack and memories to explore with the items. Tom was helpful by sending weekly and often, daily options. When I didn’t like a unit, he found out why and worked to eliminate units that didn’t fit my preferences. I’m picky and I knew what I wanted and Tom helped me find it although I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the quest, I was pleasantly surprised by how thoughtful and helpful Tom was. I thought I would like my new home, but with Tom’s help, I found my perfect place and I was right! I liked it! Now after a bit over a month… I love it! Many thanks Tom… I’ll keep in touch!

It was a pleasure working with Tom in buying our home. He was professional but also friendly and personable. Tom is very knowledgeable about the Rossmoor community. On our first meeting he gave us a great tour and overview of Rossmoor. He listened to what we wanted and tailored the search to fit. He has stayed in regular touch with us, but there has been no pressure to buy while we searched for a place that met our needs. Tom has patiently guided us throughout the sometimes overwhelming process of purchasing our condo. He has gone the extra mile to make it as easy as possible. We highly recommend Tom and his real estate services.

Tom was a dream to work with. His attention to detail was over the top and his eye for esthetics was incredible. Tom knew all the steps and processes necessary to work with the Golden Rain Foundation in order to sell your property which is no small feat. He coordinated all the various vendors (paint, staging, handyman etc) in order to get our unit ready for market. It all paid off in the end as our unit sold in one day! Results Is what you get with Tom and he’s a nice guy too!

Tom Donovan is not only a great and knowledgable realtor but he is a cheerleader and supporter Even before I had committed to a move, he encouraged me, followed up with me and sent listings I am not his wealthiest client (by far) but you'd never know that from the level of attention, care and respect he gave me And, the champagne I found waiting on the counter of my new home was just the icing on the cake!!
