From day one, Tom Gilliam was quick to respond to every message, no matter the time or the day. I never felt left in the dark during any part of the process in selling my home. He was a consummate professional, always punctual, impeccably prepared, and completely focused on getting the best outcome for me.
Tom’s knowledge of the local market was invaluable. He knew when to list, knew what price would attract offers, and he negotiated like a pro thanks to his vast set of skills. I sold at a good asking price, and I avoided unnecessary concessions. He celebrated wins with me, talked me through rough spots, and truly treated me like family.
I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Tom was on top of every inspection, document, and timeline. I felt very supported. He became a calming force, reminding me to stay hopeful when things felt uncertain.
Tom was the best decision I made in the selling process. From the beginning, he was responsive, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time

Tom Gilliam is greater than a mere mortal Realtor! He has the real estate market insight of Argus, the dogged determination of Sisyphus, the strategic negotiating skills of Sun Tzu, and the calm, understanding patience of Job. That last attribute is evidenced daily by the fact that he diplomatically tolerates my strong Type-A personality without ever summarily dropping me as a client. I would have 86ed me a long time ago! Tom demonstrates a strength of character seldom embodied in the average real estate professional. That is because he is not the AVERAGE real estate professional. Tom Gilliam routinely sets a high bar of excellence for others in his industry to try to overcome. The air is truly rarified where he stands upon the peak of the mountain. Perhaps it is this unique vantage point that allows Tom to see beyond what lesser real estate professionals do. Tom Gilliam is my dependable Realtor, my Trusted Advisor, and most importantly my cherished friend. Why don’t you make him yours

Tom was great to work with!!! We never had any issue getting a hold of him, any time of day, or getting in to see any houses. He was never pushy and very patient with us whenever we had questions, needed further explanation, or needed something repeated again - throughout the entire home buying process. He's a seasoned veteran of the industry that knows all the ins and outs of real estate required for a smooth transaction.

This man is a shark and is available to anyone 24/7. As a young new couple he was so understanding and easy to work with. We used him for buying our home and selling our condo. You simply cannot go wrong with him. His knowledge of the market and the area are spot on. Buying and selling can be stressful for anyone but this guy made the transition seem less- especially in my situation as I was 8 months pregnant with my son

Tom was a pleasure to deal with. It was amazing how quick and smooth-sailing the entire process went. We told Tom what we were looking for from the beginning, our budget, and he was able to help us filter the endless houses available on the market. We spent only 2 days looking at houses with Tom and found the perfect home. He kept us informed through it all: working diligently behind the scenes to get our offer in immediately and negotiated well with the sellers on hiccups. Tom always had our best interest in mind.
