Tom helped us understand the true carrying costs of a waterfront home in Oakland County beyond just the mortgage. Insurance, seasonal maintenance, dock fees, none of that caught us off guard. We budgeted correctly from the beginning because of that conversation.
Expert home marketing in Oakland County meant something different to us after seeing what Tom actually produced. The virtual tour alone generated more serious inquiries in three days than our previous listing got in three weeks with another agent.
We'd inherited some firm opinions about what we wanted in a luxury home in Farmington Hills Michigan from too many hours on real estate apps. Tom gently challenged a few of those assumptions and turned out to be right about all of them. The house we bought looked nothing like our original search filters.
We had a complicated situation where we were buying in Oakland County while simultaneously selling a home two states away. Tom coordinated our timeline on this end without us even asking him to. Somehow everything lined up and we didn't have to float two mortgages. Still not entirely sure how he pulled that off.
We were genuinely torn between two waterfront properties in Oakland County and couldn't make up our minds for weeks. Tom pulled together a side-by-side breakdown of long-term costs, HOA history, and resale trends for both. Made a foggy decision surprisingly clear.
My parents bought their Oakland County home through Tom years ago and when it came time to sell it, calling him was a no-brainer for our whole family. He remembered details about the house that honestly surprised us. Felt like continuity instead of starting over with a stranger.
The inspection on our Farmington Hills purchase flagged some things that scared us at first glance. Tom walked us through each item with a contractor he trusted and helped us separate the real concerns from the minor stuff. We renegotiated the price and moved forward with clear eyes.
Our Farmington Hills home had been sitting with another agent for 60 days with barely any activity. Switched to Tom Gilliam at RE/MAX Classic and had serious interest within the first ten days. Same house, totally different result. The marketing approach made all the difference.
There were a point mid-sale where a title issue popped on our Farmington Hills property that had nothing to do with anything we'd done. Tom handled it directly instead of just forwarding emails back and forth between us and attorneys. By the time we even fully understood the problem, he'd already started fixing it.
Tom pre-market exposure strategy got our Northville luxury home in front of serious buyers before the public listing even went live. We had a showing the day before lunch and the buyer ended up being our final offer. Above asking, clean terms. That's not luck that's preparation.
We were extremely pleased with the cinematic marketing that Tom Gilliam created for our Bloomfield Hills, MI luxury estate. The video, the photography, the way it was presented online it attracted a completely different caliber of buyer than our previous listing with another agent. Night and day difference in results.
We relocated from out of state and bought our Farmington Michigan luxury home without ever seeing it in person Tom did a live walk-through video and pointed out everything, good and bad. We believe him and everything else has lived up to it. We moved in and all was exactly as said. It's quiet rare for someone to be this honest.
Tom Gilliam RE/MAX Classic sold our West Bloomfield Michigan luxury estate and the pre-market exposure he created was something else. We had private showings before the official launch and an offer on day one of being live. The approach seemed to fit us-it wasn't a single approach.
Sold our luxury estate in Farmington Hills Michigan with Tom and honesty the marketing alone was worth it. The photography and video made our home look extraordinary. We had serious buyers immediately not tire kickers. Sold in days, above asking price. Tom Gilliam RE/MAX Classic Farmington Hills Michigan is the only call you need to make.

Realtor Tom Gilliam sold our home, and he was professional . We were not even living in the state at that time but Realtor Tom Gilliam still did a great job. Coordinated everything remotely showings, communications, paperwork. He always communicated with us about the current time and took care of all of the details so we didn't need to keep in eye on everything that was going on from afar. Closing went through without a hitch. If you are selling a home from distance, Realtor Tom Gilliam is a perfect for you.
A budget that wasn't exactly flexible, three children, one dog, and a particular school district requirements. Real estate agent Tom Gilliam managed to make it work in some way.

Tom Gilliam is greater than a mere mortal Realtor! He has the real estate market insight of Argus, the dogged determination of Sisyphus, the strategic negotiating skills of Sun Tzu, and the calm, understanding patience of Job. That last attribute is evidenced daily by the fact that he diplomatically tolerates my strong Type-A personality without ever summarily dropping me as a client. I would have 86ed me a long time ago! Tom demonstrates a strength of character seldom embodied in the average real estate professional. That is because he is not the AVERAGE real estate professional. Tom Gilliam routinely sets a high bar of excellence for others in his industry to try to overcome. The air is truly rarified where he stands upon the peak of the mountain. Perhaps it is this unique vantage point that allows Tom to see beyond what lesser real estate professionals do.

Tom was very knowledgeable about the area. He was patient and took me around several times. Tom was very responsive and had good advise and suggestions. I would work with Tom again.
He is very great agent. He was great skill of communication. I cannot imagine using someone else. The house he helped me get is best for me! No other new place for me.

Tom Gilliam is a good real estate agent. He is professional that understands the local market well. He worked with me to find me the perfect home. I liked the fact that he is willing to offer his advice and guidelines. I was first time buyer so I was not familiar with the process but hiss experience and ability made it seem seamless.
Tom is professional, punctual and experienced. When I was looking into renting a new house, he went above and beyond to find what I was looking for. I ended up going another route for my housing, and he was completely understanding and supportive.
The experience of finding a house can be daunting. Tom made it easy, fast and practical. He immediately understood my needs and parameters, which is exactly what you would expect from a professional--a collaborative partnership that quickly fills in the blanks and gets results. Within a week, I was approved for the perfect house; I'm sure I wouldn't have found it and secured it without his energy, positive attitude and focus.

My wife and I couldnt have been happier with the job Tom did on the sale of our apartment. He is a full service broker, in person, professional approach that you dont get with the other real estate brokers out there. He knows almost all the local real estate and makes himself available on your schedule.
Tom is incredible to work with. He helped my partner and I find an apartment the first day we went out looking. We found a beautiful apartment and Tom worked really hard to get us a good deal. I'm really thankful to him.
Tom handled my condo sale with complete professionalism throughout and kept me informed of progress at each stage which was very helpful. Highly recommended to any sellers or buyers alike.
We have been working with Tom for a several years. Tom is one of the most patient, professional and informative people we have ever had the pleasure to work with. He took the time to explain everything and always kept us updated. Buying a new apartment can make you feel overwhelmed, but not with Tom, he explained how the process would go from start to finish and made us feel easy that we would be taken care of. Thanks Tom!
Tom is professional, polite and personal. He goes the extra mile. This man does not quit. He is composed. He takes the time to listen and he provides complete and clear answers. Tom knows how to market and search for properties using all current forms of technology, social media, etc. His photographer is excellent. If you hire Tom, you will get Tom; not his assistant, voice mails or email box. Tom was dedicated to us as his client.
We had a great experience with Tom. He understands the market, but more importantly, understands how to effectively communicate his knowledge of the market in a way that aligns with his client's interests. We worked with Tom to buy our first home and then again when we sold it (sold in 3 days, multiple offers). After relocating, we also reached out to Tom for guidance even though we were in a different area. He is attentive and responsive, and he delivers. Would recommend to any buyer.
Tom helped us in our search for a home. His commitment to finding properties that met our criteria and eagerness to provide exceptional customer service was impressive. Tom was very knowledeable of the market and the buying process. He was extraordinarily responsive, both in initiating contact and returning our calls and emails quickly. I can't think of any way Tom could have been more helpful through the entire process from looking at properties, making the offer, securing financing, and closing the purchase. I highly recommend Tom.
Tom helped us find our first home, he made sure we saw the houses and condos we wanted, even if it was during lunch on a Tuesday. We had not narrowed down a specific area, but Tom was willing to show us properties all over the Metro Detroit area. We are very satisfied first time home owners and we will be using Tom again once we move from our condo into a house.
Tom was a true professional and worked above and beyond (in the snow) and helped me obtain a great home. I have bought and sold many homes in the past and I would highly recommend Tom to anyone due to his persistance, personality and professionalism!
Tom was the very first realtor we met with when we were looking to buy our first house and he immediately impressed us with his outgoing personality and ability to help us as first time home buyers. He connected us to a great Mortgage lender and was very helpful and accessible when looking at our home options. He was great at working around our schedules and helping us find everything we were looking for in a home. The home buying process can be overwhelming, especially for first timers but I feel that Tom did a good job of helping us land the right home! Highly recommend him for your reality needs.
Tom is an exceptional relator. He is extremely knowledgeable of the area, financing and how to find the best fit to sell your existing home or find your new dream home. He listens to ensure he does the best job possible to make your dreams come true. He's focused to achieve the goal and on your side with your best interest as the target for success.A++++ and 2 thumbs up!
Tom has been an outstanding resource through the years, and a great representative for the real estate business - many could learn a thing or two from him! As a prospective seller, Tom has researched the market for me on multiple occasions and advised on improvements to maximize the home's value and appeal. All of this effort with no hesitation to assist and no pressure to immediately list. As the market continues to grow and my position to sell improves, I will be calling on Tom to handle the process. It's one less thing I'll have to think about because I KNOW he will negotiate the best sale that the market will support.
We were frustrated and about to quick looking for our first home before we met Tom. He worked hard to find out what we really wanted and what we could live with. He also previewed several listings on his own so that he could get us into the real opportunities that would work for us. We had an approaching deadline and found us a great house quickly.
Tom did an amazing job for me. He took his time, listened to what I wanted, and did not waste my time. He actually talked me into seeing a house that I did not want to see because of location, and I fell in love with it and bought it. When I go to sell again I would use him again.
I have never met a harder working realtor in my life, and I've had a lot of experience in realty. He's honest, always answers his phones, and makes time for his clients: days, nights, and weekends.
