What do Clients Say?

Thomas Kersey is by far the best realtor we've ever had and we have had! And we've used quite a few over the years, probably 20+. Thomas has a very in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market including the current situation and where the market is trending. Just simply outstanding, and we feel very fortunate in having found him. He is definitely a "first choice" realtor!

When It came time for my husband and I to list our home for sale, we researched all possible options available to us and even inquired with a few consumer advocacy groups to find the best fit for us. We noticed that Thomas Kersey kept coming up in our results as the top choice. After carefully interviewing agents, we decided to meet with Mr. Kersey, who from the first phone call and appointment was very polite, helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the market and the process. We felt very comfortable with him and really liked the fact that he is young, energetic and very much a "go getter" that will tirelessly work to sell your home. We felt that his listing presentation and understanding of our needs was by far the best we had seen and in our opinion recommended the most ideal list price. He immediately had our home professionally photographed and marketed with some of the best pictures I could have imagined of our home, the photography he uses could easily make a seller fall in love with their home all over again but for us, we knew we have to move on with our life. After having one failed contract during the process, he very quickly got our home back on the market and had us a better offer in no time. While he was out of town for his own wedding and honeymoon, he was able to negotiate our second offer to result in a full price contract, an ideal closing date, and got us closed with ease. While I could continue writing about Mr. Kersey, I will simply say that you would be doing a disservice to yourself and your home not to hire Thomas as your agent. He is one of the best agents we have ever had and we have moved quite a bit in our lifetime. We are forever grateful for Thomas and his ability to meet goals, overcome objectives and continue moving forward in our best interest. Thank You Thomas. Sincerely, Tom and Joy Shivers.

Thomas is not only a very polite, pleasant, and proficient professional, he is exceptionally experienced and honestly cares about his clients. From our virtual introduction until this date, Thomas has been a wonderful support to my family’s transition into retirement life. Upon our connection via USAA, Thomas ensured we were well informed and educated on the anticipated process. He followed emails up with a phone calls and sometimes phone calls with emails—whichever the case, he made sure we were knowledgeable every step of the way. He made himself available whenever we decided to see a showcase, and he provided new opportunities almost daily. He always provided sound advice from an arsenal of knowledge whenever we had a hard time at decision points, presenting solutions with a grain of humility and pound of respect. It really was Thomas who found our dream home, even though we were only seeking lots to build on, because we did not think we’d find what we wanted in one house. However, because he took the time to truly understand what we were looking for, what we had to offer and what would work for our family, he was successful with locating our dream spot in our dream location. To our surprise, we fell in love and purchased our forever-retirement-home in less than a month from the time we started working with Thomas. We are a military family, and I personally have moved over 30 times in my lifetime. Acquiring this final home, in the perfect location for my family is a fantasy come true…and we owe it all to Thomas. So, if you are only looking for a realtor—anyone with a license will due; however, if you are looking for a realtor with a plethora of experiences advising, consulting, building and constructing who grew up in the local area—and could easily become a good friend, Thomas is your man.

I thoroughly recommend Thomas Kersey, who did a great job selling my parent’s house. I was tasked with selling the house for my parents, who had recently moved out of state. I was also located out of state and therefore very reliant on Thomas to handle all aspects of the sale. From beginning to end, I felt that we were in good hands given Thomas’ expertise and experience. Thomas’ engagement went beyond traditional real estate agent expectations – during the sales process he was in frequent contact and kept me fully up to speed on showings and any adjustments needed. But where he really assisted and guided us was once we got to the offer stage – we received two offers almost simultaneously and he was able to negotiate as well as advise which was better, especially as both offers had contingencies. He examined the home market of the potential buyers and was able to clearly identify which offer was “less risky” - and then he negotiated a higher price from those buyers! Once under contract, the house needed some repairs, and being out of state, I worried about managing that. Not to worry – Thomas got bids and arranged all the work. I only had to approve the estimate and never even had to speak with a contractor. That made it easy on me! Bottom line, Thomas delivered, and made a potentially difficult process as easy and smooth as possible. I had tremendous peace of mind throughout knowing he was “in our corner”.

When my husband died last month, we had been contracted to buy a new home in South Carolina that was supposed to close at the end of April. Since my circumstances had radically changed, I was hoping to cancel the contract, but the builder would not agree. I was told by my lawyer in New York that I had no other choice but to forfeit my large deposit or buy the house and resell it. Since this was badly needed money, I tearfully contacted Thomas Kersey to help me through the buying and selling process. He listened to me, a complete stranger in mourning, as I sobbed my way through the story. He then read through my contract and told me he would make some phone calls and see what he could do. Two days later I received a call from the builder saying that they would refund my deposit. Thomas went out of his way to help me through an extremely tough time and voluntarily forfeited the commission that he would have gotten if I had had to buy and sell the house. It is not often that you meet a man who will put his ethics and sense of justice before his financial gain. Thomas is such a man and the kind of man you want for your Real Estate Professional. He puts his clients first.
