Tom helped up buy our first house in Arlington and was our agent selling that house and buying another one. He's always been responsive and a great advocate for us as buyers and sellers. Both times he found properties that were even better than what we had hoped for. I can't recommend him highly enough.

They are unresponsive and difficult to work with. We are selling our condo and he currently represents our buyer but refuses to communicate effectively with our selling agent and will not provide any updates on status leaving us in limbo without answers. Completely unprofessional.

As a real estate professional, I interact with agents daily. I have worked with Tom and his team in the past, and I always considered them to be peerless - the epitome of doing well by doing good. You can't do any better than the TBT.

I recently assisted a friend in the process of buying a condo (my friend is a first time purchaser). Thomas was the selling agent. Having been through the process of buying in DC through my own purchase as well as others, I cannot stress how unprofessional he was throughout the process.
1) He was unresponsive during the process of seeing the home
2) On our attempt to do a pre-inspection, the key was not made available to the unit
3) He did not handle the transition well, including failing to remove a mattress that was part of the unit
4) During the closing, he was late and showed up in shorts

Various people from separate social circles had recommended I use him so I went in excited and ready to look for my condo. Turns out he was the least responsive realtor I've ever dealt with. Multiple phone calls and emails would go unanswered for days at a time. He's generally okay with responding via text but even that would take too long. He would show up late to appts-- around 45 minutes once-- and I was the one who ended up finding and doing all the work to get my condo. He only took me out to look at condos twice and it was like pulling teeth when trying to schedule them. This all
