Thom was a huge asset in our search for a new house. He was always willing to go the extra mile for us. I would highly recommend Thom and his team to anyone.
Thom is a great agent! Very helpful, honest, and down to earth. As a first home buyer, I was nervous and ignorant to the entire process, but he made it so easy for me! I would highly recommend him!
As a first time home buyer, the whole process can be very intimidating. Thom was amazing every step of the way. He was able to find us the perfect home that fit our needs and walk us through the process stress free at every step. We got very lucky to have Thom as our agent and we couldnt have asked for a better agent. He is patient, knowledgeable, and great at communicating. 10/10
We had a great buying experience with Thom! He helped us buy our first home. He was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process, including negotiating a good price. I would highly recommend to other prospective buyers.
Thom expended much effort to study the market and help me set a selling price that was realistic but satisfactory and he very tactfully caused me to understand that representations made by a roofer that repaired the roof of my former residence shortly before the house was placed on the market were inaccurate and that I needed to make additional repairs to it and I was glad that I took his advice and did not refuse to do so and lose the buyer. He also did a great job of coordinating the many tasks that needed to be performed to complete the sale.
We live and work in Pittsburgh and know the market inside out. From pricing to closing, we'll provide the guidance you need at every step.
