We visited no less than 3 times over 6 months looking for a vacation rental, each time looking at as many units as we could over our short stay. Tom was patient, showed us all the units, told us history of the area and the buildings, helped connect us with local businesses and people, and listened. He has kept in touch after and shown to be very thoughtful.
Having never purchased a house or even met a realtor before, I was pretty anxious about the entire process but Tom has a reassuring vibe. He explained everything in terms I could understand, like how the commissions worked, what looking at houses would be like, and listened to me when I tried to explain what I was looking for in a home. Even when we disagreed, I wanted to put an offer on the first house we saw, Tom talked to me in a way that wasn't belittling and gently explained why we should look at a few more houses. One of the many wonderful things about Tom that I really appreciate was when he could tell I didn't like a house but was pretending to be interested because I didn't want Tom to feel like I was wasting his time. He told me I didn't need to have a reason to dislike a house and if I didn't like a house we are out of there. That was so empowering, I don't need a reason to dislike a house and there's no minimum amount of time I have to look at the house. That and Tom calls you "partner". Have a goodnight, parter. Take it easy, partner. See you tomorrow, partner. Tom really makes you feel like you're in it together vs a business transaction.
We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Tom McLane. We spent many weeks looking at house after house and Tom was there for us every step of the way. He was incredibly patient and never made us feel rushed or pressured into making a decision. He genuinely wanted us to find the right home not just any house. When we finally found THE ONE Tom’s experience and negotiating skills really stood out, he knew when to push, went to whole firm and how to make sure our interests were protected. Having someone with that kind of knowledge and confidence representing us made such a difference, and gave us tremendous peace of mind. Beyond being a great realtor Tom is simply someone you can trust. He has always been available when we needed him, answered every question and made us feel like we were his priority throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a realtor in Myrtle Beach area, Tom McLane is The BEST!
I highly recommend Tom as a realtor. I first worked with him five years ago when I purchased my condo, based on a referral, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Since I was purchasing from Colorado, Tom went above and beyond to help me navigate the process from a distance. He took the time to show me and explain different areas and options that I wasn’t able to see firsthand, helped guide me through the loan process, and even stepped in as a mediator between me and the loan agent when there were issues leading up to closing. He was there every step of the way and made what could have been a stressful process much easier. Five years later, when it was time to sell the unit, I knew exactly who I wanted to represent me. Tom met with me, walked through the property, listened to what I felt was a fair price based on my research, the work I had put into the unit, the location, and the amenities, and respected my opinion. He never tried to talk me into lowering the price just to get a quick sale based on what other condos in the building had sold for. Throughout the entire selling process, Tom was thorough, responsive, and a strong advocate for me. He listened, negotiated, and made sure my interests were represented. I always felt like he was working for me rather than simply trying to get a transaction completed. I’m now working with Tom again as I look for investment properties for my next venture, which I think says a lot about the trust I have in him. He’s honest, fair, straightforward, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he gives you the information you need to make an informed decision without ever trying to pressure or coerce you into settling just to make a sale. If you’re looking for a realtor who will actually listen, advocate for you, and have your best interests in mind, I highly recommend Tom.
I have used Tom for a few real estate transactions. Being out of town while selling my property was not an issue. He is a very professional real estate agent who knows the market. He kept me informed every step of the way and made the process really easy. Always there to answer any questions and contacted me with ideas for an easier sale. I will definitely keep Tom for any future real estate transactions in Myrtle Beach area!!
Tom is truly my go-to realtor in the Myrtle Beach area! I am so grateful for all of his help with the purchase of my home in Conway. From start to finish, he made the entire process so much easier by providing me with all the up-to-date paperwork, keeping everything organized, and giving me daily updates so I always knew exactly where we were in the process. Tom consistently goes above and beyond for his clients and is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and dependable realtors I have ever worked with. His communication, attention to detail, and dedication made all the difference. I couldn’t be more thankful for his guidance and support and would highly recommend Tom to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Myrtle Beach area!
Tom was great through the entire process of selling our condo in Shorehaven. He helped guide us through the entire process of the sale. He made what could have been a rocky sale very smooth. He offered suggestions and solutions for things that came up in the sale process. Tom made us his top priority throughout the entire process without skipping a beat. He was fast in getting the appropriate paperwork done to keep the sale process moving. We couldn’t have done this sale without Tom’s help. We plan on using Tom exclusively as our realtor in the Myrtle Beach and surrounding areas.
