TJ is a very knowledgeable agent and did a great job selling our property. He listed our townhouse quickly and then ended up getting 5 offers and closing at $30,000 over our asking price. We were very pleased with TJs professionalism and attention to detail. I would highly recommend him as a real estate agent to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Excellent service always would keep you up to date on everything. Always would return your phone calls the same day. It was a pleasure to work with TJ. I can't thank TJ enough for all he did. I would recommend TJ to everyone, if you have a place to sell, questions on listings or any of his expertise.

I recommend TJ as a realtor and have now bought and sold with him. He is nothing but professional, responsive, and overall a great person to work with. He listed my house at a great price and had 3 above asking offers after a weekend open house that he hosted. Great experience!

TJ responded to an inquiry we made on a property over a year ago, and although we did not make an offer on that home, he kept in communication with me about other potential properties and when I found something of interest, he was quick to send me more information or take a phone call about it. He was patient with us and the market as we kept circling back to our original intention of a place to buy.
His willingness to be responsive and available really helped us with the entire process that culminated in us finding and making an offer on our very own getaway spot in our very favorite part of the

TJ offers the right mix of professionalism with friendliness, humility, compassion and trustworthiness. He is both energetic and fair. He answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. Not only does he follow through with all details of the purchase (large and small), even after the transaction he has continued to follow my purchase with thoughtful and generous support. TJ is definitely someone to have on the team to help navigate the sometimes frustrating, difficult and onerous world of real estate transactions.

My husband contacted TJ about a property listing. Three days later we have yet to receive a call back. With current market conditions, there is no time to waste.
