I highly recommend Tom Abrams.

"We just completed our second real estate transaction with Tom. He listens, gives honest advice and is great at organizing multiple showings on our schedule. He even helped us make an off-the-market deal possible to purchase our new home. His professional expertise and extensive knowledge of the market made the difference in selling our previous house. We had an aggressive schedule during a pandemic, and he got it sold! Helping his clients is his main focus, providing excellent communication, follow-up and marketing strategies for successful outcomes!"

We were lucky to get to work with him!

"Tom Abrams is a great agent! He helped us find the perfect place in the perfect area! He is on top of every detail for his clients. We had a last-minute 'hiccup' that could have halted closing, and Tom had it resolved within an hour. He is an absolute joy to work with! I can't say enough about his attention and work ethic."

Tom was always ahead of the game.

"Worked around the clock with selling and buying our home! Tom was always ahead of the game in regard to providing documents that needed to be taken care of in order for our deals to be completed without unnecessary complications. Highly recommended to anyone who is serious about selling or buying. Absolutely the best!"

He knows Atlanta!

"My previous two agents set me up with search engines to do the work for myself. Tom was the first agent who took the time to actually scour the market for my new home. He knows Atlanta! He was mindful of my budget and helped me with lengthy negotiations. He is enthusiastic, dedicated, kind, respectful and hard-working. He was truly a pleasure to work with through the stressful search and consequent purchase of my home. I highly recommend him."

He

really cares.

"Tom was so dedicated to the process of selling my home, from market analysis to preparation of the house to selling and finding resources to perform the work needed. He really cares, and that made the experience much less stressful ... and, remarkably, he sold my house before it was formally listed! I highly recommend Tom!"

As your REALTOR®, I will offer an extraordinary experience, whether buying or selling. My experience in client communications, marketing and negotiation, and vast market understanding, combined with care and compassion, set me apart. We will always do the right thing, and we will always have fun doing it!
