Testimonials

The following testimonials were written by just some of my happy sellers and buyers. They have all been kind enough to give me permission to show you their correspondence. Their letters and words are very gratifying. It seems that my down-to-earth and honest approach has earned me many friends - I think that's fantastic!

Mary & Medhat Elsmasry

My husband Medhat Elmasry and I used Tom Thiessen's services, from Remax, in selling and buying our new house. We were very pleased with his services for these reasons:
    • Tom was very helpful to us in letting us know about suitable homes and showing them to us. 
    • He came in person to our home to help us fill forms and walk us through any offer we got.
    • He was prompt in answering our text and email messages
    • He was with us in every step of the way, both in the selling and buying processes. 
    • He helped the photographer by taking some pictures by himself. He took very good pictures from outside the house and chose the best for the listing. 
    • He was very efficient in taking pictures and listing our property within 24 hours.
    • He did an excellent job in producing a virtual open house during the covid pandemic.
 
  • Any request that we had was respected and addressed.
  • He dealt with realtors and clients who were interested in our property with professionalism and we sold our property within 24 hours after it was listed!
  • He made himself available to resolve any problems or delays we faced dealing with our bank and lawyer. 
We highly recommend using Tom Thiessen services in selling and/or buying houses. Of course, we would use Tom's services in any future real estate plan.

Tammy & Sean Downey

Me and my husband met TommyT at an open house before we were even ready to sell. We liked the professionalism and
relaxed approach he demonstrated upon meeting him and when it came down to choosing an agent he stood out.
TommyT was extremely thorough with his research of comparables (buying and selling), knowledgeable from invaluable
experience and eager to sell our place (and did so very quickly!) with fantastic marketing skills. He always ensured our
best interests were met and made sure we were happy with any decisions we made. Constant contact was made by
TommyT with both me and my husband, right up until our closing - and he always responded to any questions or
concerns promptly. It was a pleasure working with him and we would gladly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or
sell!

I just want to share a quick note and let you know that you did a really good job. I am glad that we decided to work with you! My family met many realtors during the couple years, but none of them like you, professional and scrupulous. We must introduce you to our friends!
 
We just moved in the new home and love it so much! We appreciate your help and wish we can work together again!

Dave and Judy Petkau

Tom did a wonderful job selling our house! He kept us in the loop every time there was a development of some kind and always explained what each document was saying and what it was for. He was very helpful in explaining each step of the process to both of us so that we truly understood it. We were very impressed with the MLS listing as it showed all the fine points of our house as did the brochure he created. Tom is a very conscientious realtor who is approachable, friendly and professional as he deals with clients. He negotiated well to get us the best price and a timely sale! We would definitely use him again as our realtor and also recommend him to family and friends. We really appreciated how he showcased our home during two open houses on back to back days before accepting any offers.

 
 

Nunu & Anatoli

We have sold two properties with Tom. He proved to be knowledgeable, hardworking and honest real estate agent. Tom’s professionalism and expertise along with genuinely friendly, sincere attitude made it easier for us to navigate through the stress of the selling process. In both sales we appreciated that Tom did not rush us through the process. When we expressed our plan to list a property he promptly provided us with a very thorough market analysis and kept us updated until we made a decision to list.  We were impressed with his marketing strategies, impressed to see how he prepared our properties for listing on MLS by hiring professionals to take pictures and double-check the measurements (in both properties they turned to be wrong), creating and ordering nice brochure and using social media to advertise the listing. 
 It is with a good sense of urgency, Tom always made his time flexible to meet our needs and wants. Every time we needed to sign a document he would take the time to explain us paper work and to remind the procedures even when we were rushing him through the signing process. 
Working with an agent, we always expect to be able to get in touch with one quickly and communicating with Tom was exactly that: emails, texts, calls -  we were getting immediate response. He was keeping us in the loop with constant updates on showings. When time came to negotiate Tom demonstrated great skills. His experience working with other agents helped a lot in the negotiations too. With our second property, when the offer was on the table and we happened to be on a cruise, he organised negotiation and signing via internet, managed to keep us and buyers satisfied in the process until the deal was closed. Thank you, Tom! 
When the time comes and another change is needed, it’s Tom Thiessen we will choose to call on to guide us through the real estate process once more!

Cynthia Satchwell

A dear friend who works in the community recommended Tommy T as a really good real estate agent who could help me sell my home. Tom proved to be that and more.
    He had all the qualities you expect from an agent, professional, friendly, knowledgeable and punctual. What made Tom outstanding, in my view, was his ability to listen and to step in and help when needed. I sold and moved in just under 3 weeks and bless his heart, Tom came with a utility trailer and gave me a hand with a last minute, unforeseen cleanup task. That was truly excellent service.
   Without hesitation, I recommend Tom Thiessen to assist in the purchase or sale of any real estate property.

Over the years I have dealt with only one realtor until I meet Tommy. He blew my mind and expectation on everything that I was used to from my old realtor. Constantly keeps us in the loop. Was well detailed and always went above and beyond any expectation I had from my last realtor. Explained everything in full detail and didn’t just deal with my ex partner but made it so it was both of us that was being dealt with and never one sided. I will always recommend anyone that I know to him and definitely would like to have him help me in the near future when I buy or sell

Tom was great to deal with and made our sale and purchase a positive experience!    His marketing efforts for our townhouse were detailed and thorough.    Throughout the purchase process he was very responsive and patient while we sorted through listings to find exactly what we were looking for.   His knowledge and eye for detail was appreciated as he pointed out things while touring potential homes that we hadn’t thought of.   Friendly and always professional, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
