Tom is very honest, reliable, communicates and responds in a timely manner. He exceeded my level of expectation and is an excellent individual to work with. He understood my expectations and delivered on them. You can't control how much a house sells for but you can control how it is done. If I thought of how I would expect the No.1 agent to perform in real estate, I'd use Tom as a role model for that. Very much appreciated the professionalism, dedication to the job and I was not disappointed with the service I received. I would very highly recommend Tom and his business partner and if I plan to ever sell my other property in Gisborne, I just hope Tom's still working at that time!

Tom has been amazing in his professionalism in a tricky sale with myself & my ex-wife & ex-mother-in-law. I myself live in Hamilton, Tom was very good at keeping me informed every step of the way. I have no problem in recommending Tom to anyone selling their home in Gisborne.

Tom and Scott helped us sell our first home after we unexpectedly bought our next home at a Ray White auction event. They provided helpful guidance, support, and resources, getting our house on the market for an auction campaign in just three days! The entire Ray White team played a crucial role in the success of our auction campaign. From the talented photographers they use and efficient administrative support to their professional auctioneers and sales team, the experience was excellent. It was a pleasure to sell our house, and we would happily go through the process again!

D & S Hood

Tom was very easy to communicate with, always kept us up to date with what was happening and we had an issue with the plumbing which he dealt with on our behalf which was wonderful as the property is owned by my mother, age 94, and we live an hour from town so his willingness to assist in any way was amazing.

J Graham

Tom sold this property to me when he worked for another company. It was his first sale and he went out of his way to assist as I was phone bidding from a different city. That is why I chose Tom again to sell it for me. He has continued to be down to earth and diligent in his role. I have also recommended him to friends who then chose him as their agent.

Tom is very professional and competent. He recently sold our house, and his expertise was evident throughout the entire process. From the moment we enlisted his services, Tom worked tirelessly to market and showcase our property. His knowledge of the real estate market and effective marketing strategies led to a quick and successful sale. Tom's negotiation skills were outstanding, and he managed to secure an excellent deal for us. We couldn't be happier with the results he delivered. If you're looking for a real estate agent who goes above and beyond, Tom is the one to choose. Thank you, Tom, for your hard work and dedication

A huge Thank You to Tom for selling mums home. You simply made it an easy and stress free experience. We loved how you were so friendly, motivated, approachable and never “sugar coated” anything. No point having an agent who is going to lead you up the garden path and you be disappointed with the end result. We totally recommend him if you want to sell your home! Thank you Tom for all your efforts, the family really appreciate it.

He was very professional and his dedication and communication throughout the whole process was second to none.
