OUR SERVICE AREAS
THE WORDS
- Cartner Family
What can I say about Tom and Bethany Townsend? They have been with us for 2 houses now. They would meet with us just to talk and advise on even if we should sell.
When it was time to sell and buy, they were all business. No pressure at all, and compassion to our changing needs. They were sensitive to what we were looking for and they brought the right people to our home.
Both of our homes sold quickly, and we found a great home to live in. Jane and Kaela are great to work with and speedy in communication.
-Karl Barbour
Got the best price on our new home. Tom did a great job in selling our home and helping us find a new one.
His knowledge of current market trends helped us price our home and helped us get the best price on our new home!
THE WORDS
- Denise Lee-Hinds
I have worked with many realtors over the years and haven't always been pleased with their services. Our new non-profit business required a commercial realtor to find a property to lease & I was fortunate to find Tom Townsend.
He's an extraordinary realtor - he's kind, responsive, knowledgeable & professional!! Thanks again
-Darlene DeMesa
Tom was very professional and knowledgeable in the real estate field. He provided a professional photographer to take pictures and had the property advertised in several social media outlets.
I would definitely recommend and use his expertise again in the future.
