So, I’m a little behind on this, but I’ve been starting a new job and moving into our new home.So, I originally thought I’d send Tom a thank you, but I thought I’d share it as a google review to help more people find a good realtor.So first, how did I find Tom. Actually I didn’t. My best friend since junior high has a wife in realty, and she went through searching for a realtor with great statistics to help us out. It was my first home purchase, so I leaned on her expertise over mine. Also, it was further complicated by distance. I was heading back to the military to get training as a physician. Tom was from NY (where I did residency), lived in Netherlands (I’m a huge cyclist), and seemed like a cool guy so I was like let’s go with this guy (like 6 months before deciding to purchase).So now the question, would I recommend Tom again?? Absolutely not…I would tell people it’s not a recommendation it’s a direct order. Non-optional. Tom is a really nice guy who wants to help you find the house you want rather than “make a sale”. Every realtor has to balance making a sale (their income) vs taking care of customers. If you run into a realtor who is only focused on getting a sale, they might not be getting you the best deal or house and that might cost you thousands. I think Tom just enjoys talking to people and showing houses. He won’t pressure you into a sale, and goes by a philosophy of, “I want the home owner to choose the perfect home themselves, and not be pressured or influenced by the realtor”. Realtors can sometimes try and sell you a home, but that might not actually be the house you wanted. Tom also said if now isn’t a good time to buy he has no issue if we decided to rent instead, he wants what is best for his client.So overall the buying and house hunting went pretty well. With Zillow you can really see a lot of the houses and areas and crime/income demographics which can help speed things up. As a new physician to the area, I’d recommend Tom. I never met Kim and hope I never will (I never want to sell this house and she’s on the selling side), but if the time comes I’m sure we’ll be going back to them.Also, the people Tom recommends are really nice people. We went with Jared for financing the loan. Very easy to work with and customer service better than anybody else out there. We went with Derek at home inspectors of Columbus and Clearwater plumbing. Happy with both of those choices, both companies are probably the best at what they do in Columbus.So, if you’re looking for a realtor in Columbus or Phoenix City, I think you’ve just stopped your search. 10/10 A+
