Tom was wonderful to work with, very transparent and knowledgeable. Truly glad he represented us in our recent purchase. We would not be in the house without Tom.
Tom was a huge help through every step of our home buying process. We would have been entirely lost without him. He is a true professional!
Tom is extremely knowledgeable is more than willing to work hard to complete the transaction. Class Act
With out using profanity. This fella is everything you’d want as a professional that takes pride in his job.
Tom was great to work with when selling our house. He went above and beyond in supporting not only our house sale, but our move in general by providing boxes, packaging paper and other necessities. He even spent some time helping us with some yard cleanup. Tom made the home-selling process simple, explaining everything to us and making sure the process worked with our schedules and timelines. I would highly recommend working with him!
Today's closing was the 5th completed real estate transaction since 2017 with Tom Washburn. We presently have an active listing with Tom. I have recommended Tom to people interested in purchasing real estate in Larimer County on many occasions and will continue to do so!
Tom was professional, dedicated, courteous, always available, always pleasant and easy to work with. I cannot find enough good adjectives to praise his help. He made the sale of our home as easy as possible for us.
Tom was extremely helpful for us in purchasing an investment property that was offered as part of a bankruptcy settlement from the buyer. The unusual nature of this purchase would have created many pitfalls for us but we were able to avoid them with Tom's insight and experience. The transaction completed without any unexpected events or costs for us as the buyers or for the seller.
Been a process and Tom was great. Been friends for yrs. with Tom so yes wouldn’t use anyone else in that area.
Tom did everything he said he would do in listing and advertising our home then went even further to ensure all the details of the sale were completed on time and were correct. Thanks Tom
Great follow up. Good advice - on how to finance - and other support items. Would highly recommend Tom
Great guy who took time to help us along the way. Highly recommend Tom.
Tom guided us to the perfect home in Colorado. Moving across the country during Covid lockdowns presented some challenges but Tom was able to make it all work flawlessly. We give him our highest recommendations.
Tom was instrumental in helping us move across the country to our wonderful new home in Colorado. Many challenges were presented due to Covid lockdowns and unpredictable weather. Tom was incredibly responsive, and is an all around amazing person. We recommend him without reservation and look forward to working with him again.
Tom Washburn did an amazing job of helping us buy our house. The sellers agent, Andy Burnside was also great and they made the whole process smooth and transparent. I would highly recommend both agents and appreciate the constant communication, updates, assistance, recommendations and support from Tom. He is great and we will refer all friends, family and anyone I know who is looking to purchase or sell a home in Tom’s direction. Being a mortgage loan officer myself, I know how important it is to have an advisor as great as Tom on your side. Thank you!
Tom was very helpful and efficient in selling my patio home. When a radon test was positive, Tom knew of and was able to contract a mitigation company for a very reasonable cost, allowing the sale to occur as originally scheduled. Although I had moved across the country, paperwork was sent and returned without delaying the sale. This is the second house Tom has sold for me and I have no hesitation recommending Tom Washburn and The Group.
Tom Washburn assisted my son with the purchase of a property in Sand Creek and, I believe, the sale of his first home and the purchase of a different home in Westminster. He highly recommended Tom. I agree! Tom handled the sale of our family home in Boulder and is now helping with the sale of my patio home in Longmont. He promptly answers questions and has always been courteous and helpful. I have moved to North Carolina, but everything proceeds as if I still lived in Colorado.
This is my second testimony for Tom Washburn!! Almost 3 years ago Tom helped us sell and find a new home. Life and job changed and we had to sell again! With this crisis going on, we still called Tom. We talked through the phone about what we wanted to do and the house was up on the market on a Tuesday. Under contract that Sunday!! Tom is an amazing Realtor I would go to no one else. Thank you again Tom for making this fast and easy!
Tom has always been very straight forward and honest when he represents us. I trust what he says and his advice is quite helpful. I feel like I have a friend in the real estate business!
Great dude and was always available to help me with any questions I had.
Tom was outstanding through the entire process of Sommer and I selecting and purchasing a house in our transition to Colorado. He was flexible to our schedule since Sommer had to fly in a few times to view the houses we were interested in. Tom also listened well to what we were looking for in a home and was able to provide guidance and direction allowing us to make the correct decision in the house. Once we signed the deal for our house to be built, Tom continued to stay involved providing much needed assistance with the builder when necessary. We highly recommend using Tom and his team when purchasing a home in northern Colorado. Tom, thank you for all of your help!
Tom is wonderful to work with!
From start to finish with selling our existing home and purchasing our new home Tom and the group were fabulous. Tom went above and beyond his job helping us with both. No matter the day or the time he was consistently available and willing to help us. We will highly recommend both to anyone in the market
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tom! Tom has gone above and beyond for us during this whole process. I would recommend Tom to any of my friends and family who are looking for a realtor in northern Colorado.
Tom and The Group will always be my first choice in buying and selling homes. Most recently, Tom made a complicated and time-sensitive relocation very easy for me. Tom was super-responsive and single-handedly made sure both of my deals (buy & sell) kept moving when other parties in the deal were difficult to work with and/or hard to ready. 10/10 hands down.
Tom was very attentive to all of our needs! He was a pleasure to work with and did a great job helping us sell our cabin.
Tom was extremely helpful in our house hunting process
Tom is very professional and diligant in helping me and my fiance finding the perfect home in our price range. He is very kind and has extensive knowledge in the active real estate market. I will use Tom again for any further purchases that I or family members need in the future. Thank you very much Tom for your patience and awesome work in getting us a wonderful home.
Never a question that Tom would not work well for me.
Tom Washburn has sold two properties for us and we are very pleased with his results. Tom is a real "realtor" that always keeps his clients informed in ever aspect of selling their property. His marketing is the best we have used selling other property, both homes and investments. He works hard and is always pleasant to deal with, and follows through with each contact with clients and potential buyers. We have already referred him to our friends that have not enjoyed his services and listed with other real estate firms. His efforts during an initial offer that was drug out by the prospective buyers making unreasonable demands, and rebounding with a later better offer that was accepted was outstanding. We will always be thankful !! The Group Staff is always professional and well trained to set up showings accommodating owners and in our absent a friend caring for the residence. Your Title Company was flexible with closing delayed by snow. Many Thanks, Larry & Judi Hess
Tom made the purchase of our cabin so easy!! We live out of state and the purchase went so smoothly. He was quick to respond to any questions. The cabin had been in our family at one time. There had been only one other owner. We were thrilled to be able to buy it back. So grateful for Tom making this so easy. Thank you!!
Tom was more than helpful in our search for a new home. He has the patience of Job to put up with us. I can't say enough about his professionalism. Tom is the best realtor I have ever dealt with
Good guy. Made himself available at (almost) all hours for questions via email, phone, or text. Professional & had great insight into the property and broader market.
Tom was an exceptional listing agent! He was always pleasant, never pushy and willing to do whatever I needed. He's very knowledgeable regarding what would or wouldn't add value to my property. He kept me completely informed with all updates yet didn't inundate me with unnecessary calls. He answered his phone most every time I called with a question or if he was in a meeting he would send me a text letting me know he would call when the meeting was over. I would highly recommend him to anyone selling or buying a home. Gaylene
Fantastic! Will meet all of your needs!
Hi not only did what he said he would but we feel he went above & beyond. It was an excellent experience especially since the sale was most emotional. He truly made a significant difference with his knowledge, help and overall help. We would work with him again in a heartbeat and recommend him totally. We have nothing but good things to say.
As always Tom handled every step of our transaction with outstanding professionalism!! He is so detail oriented and always makes us feel at ease whether we are buying or selling property!
There were several factors which made our cabin a challenge to sell. Tom did a very good job helping us work through the issues and get the cabin sold.
We were very pleased with Tom Washburn. We were out of state selling the property in CO and he helped us with some maintenance issues and other things that it would have been very difficult for us to deal with. Tom was extremely professional and trustworthy, an exceptional realtor.
Tom was very professional, honest, efficient and communicated timely with us. He did a great job selling our property much faster than we expected. The closing was handled smoothly. We highly recommend Tom Washburn.
This is the 8th home that I have purchased since 1979 in 4 states in the U.S. All moves are challenging and finding the right agent is not always easy. We were very fortunate to have had Tom on our team. Tome was extremely professional, timely, and thoughtful. There was never a time in the process that we did not have complete confidence in his knowledge of the area, the market, and understanding what we were looking for. He was incredibly adaptive and reacted to change in our interest quickly. On the visit my wife made to look at rentals, she found something that we wanted to buy and Tom pivoted to this change seamlessly. We closed in 20 days, 12 of which we were making our way across Country in an RV. The need for information for the bank was staggering, but Tom was right there during the whole process assisting whenever possible. I told Tom that this was our FIRST Colorado home and that I intended to call on him when we bought our second. For us, there is no one else !
"Tom is a true professional; very knowledgeable of the real estate market, the many on line marketing tools & the legal requirements of the buying & selling process. Right away I was impressed with his honest assessment of our mountain property and the market conditions, and his willingness to help us sell our property. He was extremely responsive, returning phone calls & emails virtually immediately. He provided thorough answers to all our questions, and sent status updates throughout the entire process. Tom is a very trustworthy & hard working individual, we would definitely use him again."
Tom was absolutely wonderful to work with. He is very honest and will help you find the perfect fit for you and your family. Tom was very professional throughout the whole process and made sure we were informed and understood every part of the process. We can not thank Tom enough for all of his knowledge and support!
Tom has gone way beyond the extra mile to assist us over and over again. Always available to answer our many questions. Have VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENED Tom to others as "the absolute best real estate agent ever! we give him 9 out of 5 stars!!!
“Simply the Best, Better than all the rest”…..Tom Washburn is the “realtor’s realtor” On a 5 star scale, he is a five star realtor times 2! After the initial meeting and with his expert market analysis and advice as to price setting, his sage evaluation and plan included a drone shot of the property that was a big difference maker in views. Our foothills home and property listed December 13, resulted in an offer at the start of February and subsequent closing March 3, 2017 at asking price. When one calls, he gets back to you that day. He lined up final touches to the house including carpet installing by another expert. If you want expert advice and a full time realtor who knows what he is doing, you could do no better than listing or buying with Tom...
Tom Washburn was not only a great realtor, but a wonderful resource and friend. He gave us honest and expert advice to help us find our new home. He made the process understandable and moved at our pace because it was our first home purchase. We appreciate him so much and will always recommend him to friends and family!
Tom is a good friend and highly recommended to anyone selling or purchasing a home. One of the most honest people I know. He has helped me sell a home and purchase a new home recently. If you are looking for a honest and trustworthy realtor he is your guy!!
Through the years we have bought and sold many homes so have considerable comparative experience with realtors and Tom surpasses them all. While his honesty and integrity impressed us his follow through on his word was refreshing. Our home was unique and had been on the market for three years. We relisted with Tom, he held an "open house" which resulted in two offers, closed quickly and netted us more than our asking price.
We found Tom when we were ready to sell our home. He told us what he thought we needed to do to get it sold and we did it. Tom was there every step of the way, calling to see if we needed help with any of it. He showed us I don't even know how many houses, whether it was one that he picked out or our choice. I always felt bad but he said he didn't mind. He didn't feel like just a realtor but a friend or part of the family, my kids got to know him and are not shy anymore. When we finally got our house he was just as excited as we are! Tom isn't there just to sell you a house, he's there to find you, your dream home! And I don't know how I can ever repay him. Tom Washburn is the best!
Tom Washburn served as an exceptional realtor for both selling our home and help us buy o a home in Northern Colorado. He not only advised us on how to get our home ready to list with The Group, he went above and beyond with his diligent and hard work to get each room up-to-date and ready for the posting. He was also very knowledgeable about skillful contractors who helped with all the necessary renovations or improvements we needed so that our home would stand out from the rest of the homes in our neighborhood. He was also able to negotiate top dollar for our home when it was sold. We met Tom at an open house and we really appreciated all the research he did to make sure the home we bought had everything ready when we moved in as well as other features we wanted in a home. Without a question, Tom will provide excellent real estate service and we will utilize him again when we need to in the future. He was able to provide superb service to both the seller and the buyers. Thanks, Tom!
