Since 1997 Tom has represented countless clients in the purchase and/or sale of both new and resale homes, investment projects, and commercial and residential leasing. This 23+ years experience has given him a well rounded career that has prepared him to handle any situation (positive or challenging) with honesty, focus, and professionalism. His extensive knowledge of local schools- both public and private, as well as special education services in the community has been a value when working with families within Elmhurst and beyond. Tom has long standing relationships with area builders, contractors, architects, real estate attorneys and lenders which provides an invaluable resource for his clients, regardless of needs. This, added with team support, board based marketing and transaction management, along with the groups network strength, collective knowledge and experience, creates a personalized, efficient, and professional real estate experience. This is evidenced by the fact that 75% of Toms client base is from past clients (or referred by) past clients.
Here are some client testimonials:
Tom kept communications going with the buyers realtor for updates and then he would feed me that info once he had it. When issues were found, Tom not only communicated them to me, but he also had a list of contacts to help resolve said issues and most of those contacts worked with him in the past and were super quick to act thats why experience matters, folks.
Moving out of a house after living there for 33 years raised a wide range of emotions for us, yet, Tom was patient and wise at helping us get through successfully. We know Tom genuinely cared. Helping achieve a contract for sale within less than 30 days on the market was a true highlight. We highly recommend Tom to everyone planning to sell an Elmhurst home."
Tom is THE MAN. He is the most helpful, responsive, easy-to-deal-with realtor ever. Not only did he help us find our dream home, he helped us save ONE HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS on it!!!
Tom Makinney is a wealth of knowledge and experience. He's responsive and professional. He really seems to care about his clients, which is rare (we have used several other agents in the past).
