About Thomas Makinney

Tom Makinney approaches real estate as a "connector" -- connecting buyers to sellers, solutions to needs, reality to vision. With an inherent love of architecture and passion for people, connecting clients to their goals in home ownership brings new opportunity to each day. One will rarely hear Tom speak of his personal accomplishments without acknowledging his team. Why work with a team of realtors? One distinct advantage is that each team member has a unique sphere of influence. When combined, these spheres create a strong pool of valuable information for each client. Team support, broad-based marketing and transaction management, along with the team's collective knowledge and experience, creates a worry-free, enjoyable real estate experience. For sellers, each team member knows the inventory and is available to show the property. For buyers, the blended market acumen of the team members can help the buyer make informed decisions when thinking about a property, a community or negotiating a sale.

Very responsive and on the ball with finding us listings. We only were able to find our home after 3 years because she beat everyone to the listing and was able to secure an early viewing. So grateful for having her as our agent!

Tom did a fantastic job with the sale of our home. His knowledge of the local market was exceptional. He also had great suggestions on getting our home market ready, and we appreciated our weekly check-ins with him. We highly recommend Tom for anyone selling their home in the western suburbs.

Tom was fantastic. On short notice he found quality properties and got us in to see them - sometimes even same day. After seeing 15+ homes in a tight housing market we found the perfect one for us, and Tom helped us navigate the process of offering and finalizing the sale. I will recommend him to anyone interested in the western suburbs!

There is a lot more to Tom M. than being a GREAT real-estate agent...Tom helped my wife and I purchase our home roughly 13 years ago. The local knowledge and true sense of the area and it's benefits is the value Tom brings into his process. Tom was able to place my wife and our growing family into a fantastic house and area were we are forever grateful and that is why after 11 years, there was no other reason NOT to have Tom and his team take on the selling of our home. Once again, the information, constitutional knowledge, and feel for the market was spot-on and he exceeded our expectations financially and emotionally. I highly recommend Tom Makinney and his team for both purchasing and selling and my family and I are lucky to have worked with him!
