Every Customer Deserves a Quality Experience

What do Clients Say?

My sister and I owned a home with our mother. She recently passed away, leaving us with the home. During this very difficult time in our lives, we found ourselves with numerous matters to handle while trying to process our grief. It was, at times, overwhelming. When it came time to sell our mother’s home, we knew we had to call Tom Yates. He has been our families realtor for many years, and he has been both on the selling and buying side of multiple real estate transactions. Every transaction has been a great experience. This is why we continue to choose Tom. Not only did he list our mother’s home, he took care of everything else including lawn maintenance, staging of the home, coordinating the necessary repairs and dealing with an appraisal issue. He handled everything from start to finish. This allowed us to focus on other issues concerning her affairs. Tom, as usual, went beyond what was required, He is an exceptional realtor, as well as an honest, kind and caring person. Even after the real estate transaction has closed, he continues to care about and stays in touch with his clients. Tom goes beyond what is expected from a realtor. We strongly recommend Tom Yates as a realtor and friend. Thank you Tom for everything.

Tom’s knowledge and professionalism made our home purchasing experience a breeze. Tom’s communications are always clear, and concise. As a new Florida resident having Tom’s experience in suggesting the best neighborhoods, and amenities was comforting and important in helping us find the right home. Tom always showed up early and had the homes ready for us to walkthrough, as he answered our many questions. After settlement, Tom followed up, to see if everything was going well. Tom is definitely a service oriented person who looks out for his clients throughout the purchasing process as he continually provides stellar performance.

Went the extra mile! . Tom helped my husband and I look at, and ultimatly purchase a home while being out of state. We initially went into contract sight unseen and had to rely on Tom to view the home, inspections and dealing with a neightbor for access to build a pool. He handled everything timely and communicated through out. Highly recommend.

The Best of the Best! Tom Yates is absolutely the most knowledgeable Realtor in his field. His expertise guided us every step of the way beginning with pricing the home, which improvements would result in the biggest impact, his access to the right people for everything we needed from Probate Attorneys, property improvement staff, Stagers, (which we highly recommend) and Closing Agents. Our home was only on the market for 10 days and we had a Buyer offering full listing price. Tom’s estimate of closing costs was right on the mark. No last minute surprises! Tom provided this same level of service for my Mother prior to her passing. Tom is simply part of our family now!

Excellent attention and service! Tom is one of the most helpful, honest, respectful and knowledgeable agents in the business. He was understanding and observant to our precise needs when searching for a house. Not only did we find a house in the area we desired, we found something that exceeded our expectations and met the criteria of our budget. Tom and his team assisted with any bumps and obstacles along the way and produced results in a timely manner. With Tom as our agent and representative, it was more than just the sale/purchase of a home, and became a personal relationship with attention and care as a good friend. I highly recommend Tom to help with the purchase/sale of a home!
