We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Tom. As first time home buyers, there’s a lot of uncertainty and nerves. From the first meeting, Tom laid out how the home buying process works, in plain terms, without prompting. His straightforward and honest approach was what made us decide to go with him over another realtor.
Tom is very calculated in his work – if we didn’t like a house, he would help us separate the good parts from the bad, to help us narrow down what we were looking for. He never pressured us to look outside our price range, or to buy something we weren’t 100% sold on. He cared about our investment and wouldn’t hesitate to point out things that we may have overlooked that could affect the house’s value when it comes time to sell.
When we did find our home, Tom guided us through the contracts and offers, and looked out for our best interests. We ended up with a fair price below asking. It didn’t stop there though. Tom checked in on us frequently to make sure that everything was in order before closing. On moving day, he stopped by to wish us well, and followed up a few weeks later to make sure we were settled in. He offered to help us with things that most realtors wouldn’t have; he truly went above and beyond. With Tom, we felt heard and valued, and not like another customer. It felt like a friend was taking care of us. When we decide to move into a bigger place, we won’t hesitate to hire Tom again. He is warm, friendly and extremely professional. Thank you so much for everything!

“Dear Tom,

I would like to thank you for the hard work and outstanding service that you provided recently, helping us to purchase our  first home.

Our objective was to find the best house for our money, and we were new to the experience of purchasing a home.  With your knowledge, guidance and professionalism we were able to find exactly what we were looking for and more, and were extremely happy with the purchase price that you negotiated for us.  As a matter of fact, you made the whole process of searching for, viewing, negotiating, ultimately purchasing our home surprisingly painless, and everything went smoothly.  I always knew what was happening, and always felt like you were doing your best to find the best home and the best deal for us.

Through the process of searching for and purchasing our home, you were always available, eager to help every step of the way, and always putting forth your best effort on our behalf.  You went out of your way over and over again for our interests.  We look forward to doing more business with you, and when we get around to our next real estate transaction, we know that it will be more of the same Tom Sapinski service.

I will recommend you to everyone I know looking to buy or sell a home in Ottawa, confident in the knowledge that you’ll provide the best service available.  Thank you Tom, and best of luck in the real estate business.”

Sincerely,

My name is Jeff Semple, and it’s my sincere pleasure to recommend Tom Sapinski to anyone looking to buy a home. First and foremost, Tom is unquestionably someone you can trust. He is one of those exceptional real estate agents who puts his client’s interests and trust above all else.

Tom helped me buy my first home: a beautiful condo in the Glebe. Through months of house-hunting, I never felt any pressure from him; and any pressure I put on myself, he helped to dissuade. Tom did a great deal of research on my behalf, and steered me away from risky investments (including one new condo that had a number of financial and construction issues, and was offering financial incentives for real estate agents with buyers).

Several months after purchasing my condo, I was offered a promotion at work and had to relocate to a different city. Tom advised me on different options, and helped me through the process of renting my condo to a wonderful tenant. When it comes time to sell my condo, I can’t imagine asking anyone else to help me. This is one of the biggest decisions I’ve ever had to make, and I’m incredibly grateful to have had Tom to guide me through it. I’m proud to have him as a real estate agent and a friend.

Tom has been a real blessing in our lives.  Without him, the whole process of buying our dream home would have been a lot more stressful.  At first, what attracted us to him, was his honesty.  We could really see that his interests were to help us rather than benefit from us.  In total, we visited approximately fifteen houses.  Tom was really patient throughout the whole process and kept giving us good advice.  He never rushed us.  He kept on saying: “if there is something that you really do not like in the house, then do not buy it.”  He reassured us in saying that we will find our dream home, and yes!  Indeed we did!

Again thanks Tom!

Dear Tom,

Thank you so much for taking care of the purchase of my condo and sale of my home. You were wonderful and caring and available all the time. The home sold very fast and we couldn’t believe it. We will be sure to use you in the future!
