ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Matthew McCarthy as our agent was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From our very first conversation regarding the sale of our home, Matthew was professional, responsive, and genuinely considerate of our needs and concerns. He took the time to understand exactly what our needs were and guided us through every step of the process with patience and clarity. What truly set him apart was his negotiation skills. He advocated for us with confidence and strategy, ensuring we received the best possible outcome. We always felt that our interests were being protected and prioritized. His knowledge of the market and attention to detail gave us complete confidence in every decision. Beyond this, Matthew consistently went above and beyondaEUR"whether it was accommodating our schedule, proactively addressing potential issues before they became problems, or simply checking in to make sure we felt comfortable with next steps. His dedication and work ethic made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and hardworking real estate professional. We are incredibly grateful for his support and wouldnt hesitate to work with him again!

ZillowVERIFIED Our experience with Thomas was terrific. From the original consultation to the exchanging of checks at the closing, Tom was personally involved and helped navigate the whole process. He helped us get the house ready and prepped for sale by providing competent people for painting and spackling, helped us get the home cleaned up, even personally got into the crawlspaces to make sure they were clean and ready to present. His office people and sales staff are excellent and ran open houses every weekend. The online presence and tech used to keep us in the loop about showings etc. (we had already moved to Texas) was a big help. Tom not only listed the house but was also the selling agent. He was also very attentive to the buyer's needs and helped develop a vision for them that I really believe helped sell it in a way that made it a happy time for both us and the buyer. Buying and selling a house is a very stressful time but Tom made it a lot easier and smoother. I highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED We have been looking at houses with Tom McCarthy for about two years, which is proof that Tom was patient and understanding throughout our search process. Tom is very knowledgeable with regards to building codes and town regulations, and in several homes , provided insight into acceptable renovations that would be possible. Unlike other real estate agents, Tom never gave us the impression that he was just looking for a quick sale, and therefore, we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.

ZillowVERIFIED We had used Tom McCarthy Realty 20 years ago when we purchased our first home on the North Fork of Long Island . The experience was great then, so we used them again for the sale of this house. When we were just thinking of selling , Tom sat down with us and discussed the process. He never was pushy about selling and was always respectful and courteous. Tom and his team were always very kind and professional throughout the entire process. The house was sold very quickly and we received a very good price for the house. I would also recommend Tom to anyone that is looking to purchase a home on the North Fork of Long Island. He has lived here his entire life and is very knowledgeable of the area. I can't think of anything negative about the Mccarthy Team and would recommend them to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED Thomas J. McCarthy is an extraordinary real estate broker. His history and knowledge of the town's requirements as well as his extensive knowledge of brokering all kinds of real estate deals helped to make this sale one that would be good for the town as well as good for me and my family. The time and care he spent with me was incredible. He listened intently to what I needed and wanted to do and following through, he executed the sale of my farm and farmstead as well as the purchase of a condo for me. He helped my family to accomplish a monumental task of cleaning out 9 buildings and the homestead. He screened the buyers well and finally found that one buyer that was a perfect fit for my situation. His office staff were also wonderful to deal with.

ZillowVERIFIED I was able to spot a property, bid on it, get an accepted offer and write a check for the deposit in a 48 hour span. Not only is he responsive but he has a AAA team in his office backing him up. This is not a fly-by-night operation but rather generations of roots and knowledge in the region.

Review for Member: Thomas McCarthy
ZillowVERIFIED To get straight to the point, the Thomas J McCarthy Agency is the very best around when it comes to buying a home out here on the end of Long Island. When my fiancee and I decided it was time to buy, we knew we wanted to put down roots out east (where I grew up). In the craziness brought on by covid-19 and the market the way it was/is, we worried if we'd be able to find and afford our ideal home. One day of showings with the agency's Donald Bracken Sr. changed all that. He showed us the homes we wished to see and then brought us to ones we thought were out of our range but upon finding the one we knew we wanted, Don went to work and within a week we were in contract on the home of our dreams at a price we never dreamed we'd get it for. Don being a veteran home builder and developer knew everything about each house. found & pointed out every issue, flaw and plus within seconds of arriving at each property. From the windows to the floor beams, Don was able to identify everything going for and against each property and be armed to negotiate on our behalf for each property we were interested in and ultimately direct us to THE ONE. From there Don worked tirelessly with Tom and the rest of the amazing staff at the TJM to negotiate and lock-in the home we never thought we'd get at a price we never thought would be accepted. Once in contract, Don was with us every step of the way right through and even after closing, making a very stressful time, an exciting one. My fiancee and I have nothing but the highest praise for Don, Tom and the rest of the team at TJM. They're local knowledge, honesty, and passion for their clients in incomparable and recommending them for those looking to buy or sell a home is a no brainer. Again, the very best!

Review for Member: Thomas McCarthy
ZillowVERIFIED We would strongly recommend Tom and McCarthy Realty. Tom was such a pleasure to work with. Tom is an expert in all phases of construction, home improvement and building so he was able to identify issues and point out things we didn't think about. Tom was also very patient with us as we searched for our new home. The whole team at McCarthy Realty was helpful from the beginning of the process all the way through closing. Being a local, after the closing, Tom was able to provide references for some improvements we wanted to make. We consider Tom a friend and hope to see him socially around town. You wouldn't make a mistake working with Tom and McCarthy Realty.

Review for Member: Thomas McCarthy
ZillowVERIFIED Tom made the impossible possible. Growing up on the North Fork, we wanted nothing more than to stay in Southold town and when we saw the house for sale that I babysat at as a kid and that was down the block from my sister, we knew that's where we wanted to be. He and his team navigated the sale of our home and the purchase of our forever home with ease and excellence through what felt like a sea of turmoil. He was always available for every bump in the road (and never once deterred despite my crankiness). He knows the North Fork like the back of his hand, and knows every local from Orient to Riverhead. There will never be enough thank yous or hugs. We could not have done this journey without Thomas J. McCarthy Real Estate!

ZillowVERIFIED Tom was very helpful with our purchase. We made an offer after the seller had already accepted another. Tom communicated with the seller and helped us close the deal. Tom knows everything you could possibly need to know about Southold and is a great resource well beyond buying and selling a home. Very happy we hooked up with Thomas J McCarthy Realty!

ZillowVERIFIED Tom and his entire team are professionals. They provided us with the guidance that we needed to purchase our new home. Tom's knowledge of the local area and the local market were key to closing this deal. Over the years, we have purchased several homes; but by far, Tom and his team are the most professional and personable team that we have ever worked with. We will recommend Thomas McCarthy Realty to all of our friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIED Mr. McCarthy facilitated the sale, to my wife and me, of a home in Southold, New York in December 2017. Were in not for his skills as a negotiator between sellers and my family, no sale would have occurred. His knowledge of North Fork home values combined with his wonderful demeanor place him at the top of any realtor with whom I have worked. Additionally, his assistants are professional and accessible. All told, an outstanding real estate company. Mr. McCarthy will certainly be my agent if and when I ever sell this house.

ZillowVERIFIED In making our decision to sign with McCarthy, we took into account his expertise in not only real estate but with construction as well.Unfortunately, we had added a few aEURoe details aEURoe to our property without the proper permits. Tom kept his word with his often reassurance of, aEURoe well get you to the finish lineaEUR?. Trust me, it wasnt an easy trip, but mission accomplished.We cant give enough praise to the entire staff at McCarthy. Every single person we dealt with was OUSTANDING!!! Josh, Don, Susan, Ruthie, and anyone else that I may have forgotten.In closing l must say that Tom is an exemplary professional. Never once did we question his motives or ethics contrary to other realtors that we dealt with.We can without reservation recommend, aEURoe McCarthy Real EstateaEUR? for your buying or selling needs.

ZillowVERIFIED I had one day to list my fathers house, Thomas came to the house, did an appraisal we all agreed the price was right so we listed it. Two weeks later we had a buyer and the house sold a month later. This could not have gone any better. Real Estate Agents are not all the same, this is why Thomas McCarthy Real Estate sell more houses in the area than any one else.

ZillowVERIFIED This is the second outstanding experience we've had with Thomas J. McCarthy Real Estate. First, he sold our house and we were very pleased with the experience. This time around, we purchased a home from Tom. The entire staff, Josh, Susan and of course Tom, lived up to the positive experience we had the first time around. We would not consider using any other broker. I wholeheartedly recommend Thomas J. McCarthy Real Estate for his knowledge of the market, his integrity and professionalism.

ZillowVERIFIED I must start with saying that The McCarthy office was my second broker that I used in trying to sell my house. When I compare The McCarty exprience with my first broker, it was like night and day. The activities at McCarthy were professional, timely and responsive to my needs. My house was sold in under two months after trying for eight months with the previus broker. I had numerous occasions to call the McCarthy office and received prompt responses, and professional service on each occasion. There were specific times when I would allow my home to be shown. Those times were used to my total satisfaction. I have recommended to others to use the McCarthy office when trying to buy/sell a home or business. They are first rate.
