ZillowVERIFIEDI have a unique style and my home reflected that, later I found not everyone shares in my eye for style but, alas, we sold it. Of course, not without the help from Tom Makinney. I first met Tom when I was shopping for realtors and he was one of the many I had to choose from but, I ended up going with Tom because he seemed to be the most knowledgeable of the new ways to advertise a home in today's media platforms. The first visit was a simple interview and to hear what he can do and by our second visit he had a full strategy of how to sell the home as well as spot-on comparable list of other properties for reference. From then on it was the Tom show.Right when the house went on the market I had to move across the US for a new job and that left Tom with a vacant property and with an owner who was no where close. I thought it would be a challenge but apparently, its notaEUR| Well, at least not from my perspective. Any challenges that came up Tom just handled and if he needed my input, he would call me, explain the issue, give me options, and then he acted. When it came time for inspection, Tom kept communications going with the buyers realtor for updates and then he would feed me that info once he had it. When issues were found, Tom not only communicated them to me, but he also had a list of contacts to help resolve said issues and most of those contacts worked with him in the past and were super quick to act aEUR" thats why experience matters, folks. Once work was completed, Tom was at the house to inspect and ensure I wasnt being taken advantage of.At the time of the appraisal and closing, I found that my Lawyer wasnt responding to me quick enough and I think that is because I was so used to Tom responding to me within minutes. In fact, I just gave up on contacting my lawyer and just went to Tom for all my questions and he was able to answer most, other legal matters, of course, we had to wait for the lawyer, but that was also impressive. Again, experience matters. The closing went without a hitch and I was relieved. Whether you want to be involved in every aspect of the sale of your home, or if you want to only react to urgent matters, I believe Tom is a good choice. Good luck folks!
