I hired Tom Campbell with Long Realty to sell our house in May 2017. I have been through the house selling/buying process five times in my life. It can be tedious and stressful. Having a good agent makes everything so much easier. Tom Campbell far surpassed my best expectations by getting four contract offers for $3,400 over market value within 24 hours of listing the property. In my experience that doesn’t happen through luck. After the sale, I went back and researched an online service’s comparables to make sure I hadn’t sold the property for too little. According to the information I found, Tom far outdid all of the agents who sold comparable houses in that neighborhood in the past year. He outperformed them by anywhere from $2,500 to almost $20,000. Here is just one example: Two months prior, an agent sold an almost identical house to ours for $11,000 below the online service’s price. It was in a better location, and had nicer upgrades than ours. We were at the disadvantage yet Tom outperformed that agent by almost $15,000. When I hired Tom I didn’t ask for a discount commission rate. I wanted a professional working for me, and I believe in paying people what they are worth. However, as it turns out, he basically paid his own fees with the high sale price he got for our house. His commission rate was effectively less than 0% in comparison to the other agents. He gave us extremely good service, and yet we walked away with more money in our pockets than if we had selected a discount agent. While all the other agents discounted home prices to make the sale, Tom just did a great job, proving that paying for quality is often the cheapest route (and the fastest also.) Tom Campbell has earned all my future business and enthusiastic referrals!
