Tom was excellent to work with as a first time home buyer. He is extremely knowledgeable about the local market and homes/realty in general which was crucial for us navigating the market for the first time. His recommendations helped us avoid potential issues and ultimately end up in a home we are very happy with. At all steps in the process, Tom was easily reachable and was able to make time to answer our questions or view a house that hit the market on short notice. We will definitely be coming back to Tom for any future home buying or selling.

Tom was recommended to us through an acquaintance in the industry, and we feel so lucky to have made that connection. We have worked with Tom both selling and purchasing homes, and in both cases we were so impressed with his gregarious demeanor, professionalism, relationship-first attitude, and expertise as an agent. He is very responsive with clients. Additionally, he's incredibly knowledgeable about the process, and eager to share knowledge with his clients to ensure they are fully understanding the complexities of buying/selling a home without making it intimidating. One of the greatest strengths of Tom is his intuition and ability to connect to people's motivations in order to honestly and fairly negotiate on behalf of his clients - in both cases were really benefited from this to get the best price when both buying and selling our homes. Every time I tell friends about the level of service and the price we received/paid for a home, they are blown away. I can't say enough good things about Tom, and I'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

This is the second time Tom has helped us buy a home. Tom was patient with us as we searched for the home we wanted to grow our family in, and helped us find an amazing home which we are very excited about. Tom gave us excellent advice during the purchase negotiation and we were able to buy our home below list price. Tom also helped us sell our current home with advice about what to update and repair to get the price we wanted, and we were able to sell our home at list price shortly after it was listed. During the listing process, Tom covered items like staging, inspection, sewer scope, and window cleaning. We also had access to his vendors for repairs and updates we made to our home which allowed us to list our house as fast as possible. We were incredibly pleased with Tom and whenever we decide to buy or sell again, we will certainly turn back to Tom again. Thanks so much Tom!

Tom participated with his colleague Charlie in helping to sell and buy my properties. Although he wasn't yet as experienced as his colleague, Tom was very gracious, interested in me as a client and a person. I very much enjoyed working with both.

I met Tom Cowen in 2017 when I was anticipating the sale of my home of 18 years, followed by the purchase of a new home. When I reached out to Tom, I believed I would be listing my home for sale within a year. Unfortunately, due to the complications, that goal was not able to be realized in that timeframe. For the next two years, Tom kept in touch with me. He checked in to see if I was ready to sell and if there was any way he could be of assistance to me. Over that time, I changed my plans several times. Tom asked me thoughtful questions to help guide me so that I didn’t rush into something without considering both pros and cons of the different plans I had. This was a stressful time for me, and Tom’s continued check-ins, support and positive attitude helped me believe I would eventually own my own home. At the end of 2019, I was finally in the position to sell my home. Tom took care of all the details. He made smart suggestions about what repairs and improvements we should make that would maximize the money we spent. He lined up the contractors, all of whom were professional and highly skilled. We had moved out of the house and Tom took responsibility for giving the contractors access to our home. He suggested we stage our home, and he found a stager who did an exceptional job making our home look stylish and beautiful. When time to list the house, Tom suggested a price that ended up being the right price. We had 22 offers and our house sold for $155,000 over asking price. I moved into a short-term rental when we began preparing our home for sale. When my house sold, I had only 4 months before the lease on the short-term rental was up. To help me find a place in time, Tom took me to see houses before I was able to make an offer simply to help me decide what I did and didn’t like. That way, when I was in the position to bid on houses, I already knew what I was looking for. Tom made himself available and happily showed me all the houses I wanted to see. I never felt that I was seeing too many houses or that I was inconveniencing him. I found a place I loved, and Tom prepared and submitted my offer. Of the 18 offers on the house, my offer was selected. The seller’s agent attempted a tactic to get me to pay more money. Tom helped me negotiate this situation, which saved me $4,000. Tom exceeded all my expectations. In addition to being a skillful professional, Tom was very caring. He was sincerely excited for me to realize my dream. I fully recommend Tom to anyone selling or buying a home!

Tom did a great job guiding me (first time homebuyer) through the buying process. Tom was very insightful in thinking through comps and price negotiation and was able to quickly put an offer together. He also set up all the third parties necessary to get the deal closed, using reliable but not expensive providers. Will use Tom for all my future home purchases/sales.

Tom is extremely knowledgeable and provided great support throughout the entire home buying process. He listened to our needs/wants and provided multiple tours so we could compare the homes in person. After we found our home, he helped us structure a quality offer that was accepted. Tom was very helpful during the inspection and provided great referrals to avoid delays in closing. Thanks to Tom and his expertise, he made our first-time home buying experience a breeze!
