“Tom Johansing and his team were an absolute dream to work with in selling my mother's home and childhood home over the past year. My wife and I have worked with a half dozen realtors over the past 30 years, and none come even close to matching the level of professionalism, market knowledge, and customer service provided by Tom and his Team, each going far beyond the typical responsibilities taken on by a realty team in selling a house. If you are in need of an excellent realtor to work with, you do not need to look any further! Hire The Tom Johansing Team. You will not regret it!”
