Tom Donovan has a wealth of experience in the Reality industry. He has decades of knowledge and truly knows how best to utilize resources, manage time, and the perspective to be honest and transparent. He is a truly talented and trustworthy agent and professional.
Settling in Rossmoor and moving from Bainbridge Island in Washington State seemed like an impossible logistical endeavor but with Tom Donovan as our buyer’s agent everything has been overwhelmingly smooth and stress free! Tom is a “concierge” realtor! He provided service beyond and above what I expected. From his thorough tour of Rossmoor, I was sold on Rossmoor before I viewed the properties! Tom was a walking encyclopedia on homeowner policies and requirements from moving in to establishing services as well providing thorough explanations and information for the myriad of questions I had . I initially arrived 2 days after closing—he had confirmed my car entry sticker and ID card were ready, advised me the paperwork I needed to have, as well as physically showing me where to go to get them. Over and above that, he coordinated my desired changes in the unit immediately after closing and they were in progress and would be completed within a couple of days! As someone who prefers verbal information over written, he was a godsend! He knew everything I wanted to know, plus provided infornation before I asked! What more can I say? Tom Donovan is the best! I highly recommend him for his knowledge, professionalism, and his customer support which goes above and beyond and was truly a “white glove” experience! He smoothed the way for a successful and stress-free buying and moving transition experience to Rossmoor!
Tom was fantastic to work with on the sale of our Rossmoor unit! We had a less than positive outcome working with our prior agent, who we'd worked with as buyers. We learned that an Agent's qualities that we may have appreciated as a buyer were not necessarily "enough" when creating and managing a plan to sell. Tom really listened to our expectations of the working relationship we wanted, the attention to detail and the clear and prompt communication we needed. He checked all of our boxes! He was kindly candid about the few things he felt were important to change before re-listing our unit. He clearly communicated AND executed the marketing plan. He provided feedback immediately after each open house and he contacted each Agent that showed our unit to ask for their client's feedback. We didn't live in the unit so he made sure to go there often to make sure it was always ready and looking its best for prospective buyers. As a result, Tom found a buyer that was a perfect fit for our unit. We highly recommend him as both a buyer's AND seller's Agent.
Tom was extremely attentive and responsive as an agent. He was very quick to respond to all questions and was great at keeping us the buyers on task for a swift and painless tranaction. He was very patient and generous with his time, having dedicated a lot of time to tours and showings for me and my mother. His knowledge of the Rossmoor properties was unparalleled. He was a great resource to draw from his understanding of the market to the types of feature and amenities of properties. Would highly recommend. (Unassisted by LLMs)
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.
