My brothers and I could not be more satisfied with the work that Tom Landry and his amazing team did for us after our mother passed away and we needed to sell her home. From the moment he walked in the door he was complimentary, yet very honest about the work we needed to do to sell the home quickly and for top dollar. Tom was always available throughout the process to answer any questions we had and to encourage us as we completed the work. His team, lead expertly by Lee, staged the home so it looked clean, fresh and modern. Shannon and Mary aided Tom in getting us 5 offers in one day and a closing

Tom Landry & The Benchmark Team have now sold 2 homes for us and have done an excellent job both times, they also found our next house. Tom helped us with valuable advice on how to prepare our home to maximize the sale price, he worked with us extensively pre-sale, and our home sold at the price he had projected. Tom was always available to brainstorm creative ideas and use his extensive knowledge to find us a home in this challenging market. Tom, Shelly, and The Benchmark Team are experienced, professional, friendly, patient, and always supportive. A very positive experience in every way.

We recently sold our building with the wonderful help of Tom Landry and his team. At a crucial time in the negotiations, we had a health emergency that completely took our attention away from selling our building. Tom and his team kept everything moving forward smoothly, in spite of the distractions in our lives. It was incredible to know that we could rely on them in this crisis. All of his team from the photographer to Mary took care of all the details of the closing are first rate professionals and got us a very good result. Marcia and Dan

Tom Landry and the Benchmark team sold our historic home! Tom coached us along the way and provided sound, practical advice regarding how to prepare the vintage home for the best possible showing. They provided recommended resources that always came through. Tom was spot-on with pricing and the house sold above asking price in a week. The Benchmark team went beyond what other agents would do in conducting in-depth research about the homes history and previous owners that added to the appeal. Mary and Shannon were on top of everything and quick to get back to us with answers to questions. Weve
