Two days after looking at our house as a potential listing Tama rung to say “I found you guys a house” 2 days!! We went we looked we fell in love, job done. Regular phone calls, kept us in the loop, no question to stupid - honest open and so friendly. I’ve been in customer service 22 years & Tama’s was faultless - just a really lovely guy to deal with. A+++ and then some. Not just an agent - a friend and gentlemen.
Very satisfied with the service received.
A very easy person to work with. A good listener. Always on time. Has very good qualities of a salesperson. He has the touch to sell stuff. Always helpful + efficient.
I found the overall experience to be a bit of a challenge, but with Tama’s guidance on how to get too dollar by staging the property to its best, we put in the extra effort and finished all of the re-decorating, and de-cluttered the house and the yard. We were able to get the price we wanted. I would highly recommend Tama as an agent, I found him very helpful and willing to put effort in by doing open homes every weekend and advising us on what advertising we could do.
Tama is friendly, polite and very helpful. We feel satisfied with the way he marketed the property. He is a good communicator.
Tama went out of his way to provide us with an excellent service. He knew the property really well so he could answer any questions we asked, regarding the property. We didn’t have to wait on any queries - Tama would always communicate to us as soon as possible and assisted us in every way possible. Tama is extremely helpful & we would highly recommend his services.
