For 25 years, Tom was my “go to” Realtor when buying and selling homes and investment properties in Virginia. Posted overseas, having access to a profes- sional, whom we could unconditionally trust, proved invaluable. He helped us purchase great properties and represented us, and his attention to detail was impeccable. I provide my clients with this same level of service, full-time support and attention to detail.
