About Tom
Tom is easygoing with a fresh, authentic approach and is powered by his love of keeping things real. Driven and personable with exceptional industry knowledge and experience, he’s always available for a chat and provides clear-cut market advice. Tom’s straightforward approach to real estate is magnetic. He’ll tell you if you should paint, declutter or replace that family photo with something more relatable. He’s achieved award-winning results curating seamless, well-run campaigns for residential homes, townhouses, heritage-listed properties and renovators’ dreams. Tom is the king of renovations, which gives him a distinctive edge. With a background in the construction industry and a deep appreciation for period homes, he’s respectfully injected beautiful Californian Bungalows with new life and brings hands-on experience he gladly shares.

His “no car Sunday” rule gives them the advantage of living in the moment, taking in the surroundings and exploring local farmers' markets, parks and beaches on foot.

Professional in every way

I selected David to sell a property for me based off an experience that a friend of mine had working with him. I am generally quite time poor and needed someone who knew what they were doing and just went out and got the result. David was in every way the right person for this and made the whole process completely effortless. If you want to actually sell a property, get the right price & connect your home with the buyers, David is in my opinion the person to reach out to.

Reliable, Responsive, and Supportive Throughout the Process

David was prompt and accommodating, allowing us to view the property independently after we missed the open home. Despite some challenges with competing offers, he kept us informed with factual and timely updates, which helped us make confident decisions. He also ensured smooth access for the bank valuation and was consistently helpful through to the final inspection and settlement. We appreciated his professionalism and support every step of the way.

Friendly And Professional Agent

David recently completed the sale of 4 properties for us. We were extremely pleased with the results that were achieved with each sale. David work extremely hard to ensure that we got the best price for all the properties. We found him very friendly and professional in his approach to us and the potential property buyers. He kept us fully informed of the progress of each sale from the start to the end of the process. If we have other property to sell in the future we would be only too happy to use the services of David to act on our behalf. We would thoroughly recommend him to anyone thinking of selling a property.

Premium service with top class communication - thoroughly recommended

Recently we sold our house in Lambton through Dave. Nothing but praise for the entire process. Initial contact was made several months ago with a basic plan mapped out. This plan was followed with precision leading to an outstanding final result. Dave has a great team that assists with legalities, staging, promotion and building inspection. This team was very professional and full of information. Ultimately though it is Dave's level of communication with us and his team that ensured a smooth house sale. NB - Our house sold prior to auction after being on the market for only 8 days. THANK YOU DAVE.
