I've worked with Tom to sell two properties and purchase one, and he has been absolutely fantastic to work with every time. Kind, trustworthy, and will do whatever it takes to advocate for his clients. 100% recommend!

I don't usually write reviews, but after working with Tom Sommers as a first time home buyer, who helped us get our dream house and close the deal just a few days ago, I feel that I should provide an honest, detailed, and objective review of my experience to help anyone who is wondering whether they should hire Tom as a realtor or not.Here is a bit of a background: my wife and I were looking for a house in one of the western suburbs, and the first thing that we did was to do a Google search of some well-known realtors and agencies in the city of our choice. We contacted a highly rated agency that connected us with a couple of realtors who spoke with us on the phone and we were impressed. They sent a link to the MLS listings, and we thought we'd find our house in no time. Unfortunately, after the initial phone call, literally nothing happened. I sent a couple of follow up emails with very specific questions that needed answers, but we never heard back from the realtors. Anyway, we had no choice but to move on.A few days later, I found Tom through another Google search. I picked up the phone and called him, and we spent quite a bit of time on the phone. The first thing that really impressed me was that Tom tried to get to know me as a person, not simply about my price range and move in date. He got to know our reasons for moving, what exactly were we looking for, what my family situation was, and which city and price point really made the most sense for us. Keep in mind that this was our first conversation on the phone and we hadn't even met. Tom came across as very personable and helpful on the phone.Throughout the next few days, he and I were on the phone, and any question that I had was answered, and whenever I sent him emails, he would reply promptly and in detail. My wife and I could not have asked for a more professional, knowledgeable and kind realtor than Tom. When finally I flew in to meet him in person, I was even more impressed. Tom drove to pick me up and showed me a few properties that my wife and I had found. He had already taken care of scheduling. In every single case, Tom informed me about the good, the bad, and the ugly about the properties that we were looking at. He has a lot of experience in real estate and many times would point out things that I would've never seen, and I am so glad he was there to guide me.I never felt pressured to buying anything or making a rash move. Tom really wanted us to truly find our dream home. Once we found the house that we truly fell in love with, and ready to make an offer, Tom did an in-depth market analysis and drafted an offer that very same evening and submitted to the seller's agent. After one or two additional back and forth, the seller accepted our offer. All of this happened in span of two days. It takes skill, experience, knowledge, and great communication to move this efficiently and get things done. We couldn't have been more grateful for Tom's due diligence and being on top of everything. Keep in mind that we wrote a few reasonable contingencies that the seller had to address, including the obvious inspection. Tom was there to look after our interests!Once everything was done and we had a purchase agreement, Tom kept in touch with me, my loan officer, the seller and his agent, and the title company, to make sure everything goes smoothly and I face no problem at the closing. We closed on Nov. 30th, and Tom was present at the closing. Even to the last minute, he was available to help answer any of my questions and was there to help if I needed him.In conclusion, I can unequivocally state that anyone who decides to hire Tom would have the most pleasant real estate transaction. I am very grateful for Tom to help us get our dream house. Thank you Tom! Keep up the excellent service!

We purchased our first home and now our forever home with Tom!! Honestly I wouldn’t trust buying or selling my house with anyone else!! Hands down the most reliable realtor I have had the pleasure getting to know.Tom really go above and beyond for you. He fights for you, he listens, and truly enjoys helping his clients. 7 days a week he was always there to answer our phone call or zoom to show us a house that just came on the market. He is family.

Tom helped me purchase my first home and I was so impressed that I reached out to him years down the road when it was time to sell. He was professional, super prompt/timely with communications, knowledgeable, and well connected. He made the house buying process fun! I was most impressed with his honest, respectful approach, this made all the difference to me as a first time home buyer and not fully confident in what I was looking for. His assistance helped guide me to the perfect home for my family.I recently worked with Tom again to sell my home as I was moving out of the twin cities area. He made the selling process easy too, guided me through some weird inspector findings, and wow his initial assessment when buying was spot on about growth in the neighborhood. From an investment standpoint, I was able to sell for >$100k than my purchase price…Tom’s assistance and expertise truly made my first homeownership experience a success!

Tom, you did a great job helping us find a home but we are a little frustrated. We feel that you oversimplified the process of updating the home. It's now seven months in, and we still do not have a contractor. Had we known that it was going to be this difficult to hire people to do some of the updates we wanted, we might have purchased a different home. We feel you could have done a better job with this.

Tom has been beyond helpful in buying and selling for us multiple times. The knowledge and help in making beneficial decisions makes the entire process as pain-free as possible. Nothing but good things to say about Tom, his work ethic and overall knowledge of all things related to real estate.

After using Tom to sell our latest home and having used him for 3 prior buy/sell transactions, I can hands down say--- he is the best in the Biz. When you work with him, he becomes so personally involved you always feels comfortable and aware of all the intricacies of your situation. As an added bonus his photography skills enhance your home when selling.As a buyer, he will listen to your needs and wishes, and search until that is found while keeping you optimistic the entire time that things work out as they should.When you become a client, you become a friend. Nothing but respect for all he does.

Moved here from out of state, Tom was recommended by friends who used him as an agent a few years ago. Unfamiliar with much of the area, Tom took the time to help us get to know the different communities while showing us numerous homes to help us narrow down our search. Walking though each home, Tom gave great insight into what to look for, what to watch out for and when to walk away. We finally found a home that was meant to be in an area that offers an abundance of recreational opportunities. Many thanks to Tom for helping us in our home buying journey!
