Testimonials

Second Home Buyer

"We had a 2-week close on our condo (16 days from bid, diligence and legal review to close!) and with getting set up and moving, we have not had time to acknowledge how important Tommy's role was in getting this done. From obtaining documents to actually attending an HOA meeting, Tommy took extra steps to assure that we had all the information to make our decision. When faced with slow or incomplete information from the sellers, he reached out to other Windermere affiliates to obtain the documents required. Prior to the unit we purchased, we viewed multiple others and Tommy was always available for unit showing, at times on hour's notice. Tommy was very client-focused and made sure our interests were emphasized and protected."

"We loved working with Tommy! As first-time home buyers, he helped us understand the process and he guided us through every step. He was very patient with our many questions and changing minds on location, etc and he always made himself available for questions and tours. We are very satisfied with the effort he put in and would definitely refer him to anyone looking for their new home!"

"Tommy was extremely attentive and available throughout this process. It felt like he was working on our behalf around the clock. He communicated clearly during each step of the way and educated us, which ultimately made us comfortable and confident throughout the entire process - this was massive for us. He was very knowledgeable of the market and helped us write strong, yet reasonable offers. I could go on and on."

We have a broker background and own a lot of real estate. When this wonderful small unit came up in our building we made an offer. The transaction went very smoothly with Tom at the helm. His paperwork was very good, he was efficient with any questions or correspondence. We would recommend him to anyone. Tom made this entire purchase enjoyable.

Second Home Buyer

We started looking for a condo for my parents who are in their 70s in May 2021. With our limited budget, we needed a place suitable for seniors (elevator access, bright light, good view, safe neighborhood, near grocery store …). In order to fulfil our long list of requirements, we had four buyer agents during this purchasing period, as we looked for condos available on the market in NE, NW, and SW Portland. We had two times when we were almost ready to submit an offer, and one time that was with Tommy VanDamme, who is the best of the best! Tommy has been very supportive of each our requests, whether for a site visit on the front end or backing out of an offer on the back end. He has always done more for us than we expected and has always thought in terms of our interests. For example, when we first came to visit the unit we eventually bought, Tommy had prepared for access to other units in the same building to allow us to compare. We were very happy he did that because we were hoping to see the other units but didn’t make the appointment, but he did it for us. After we submitted the offer, Tommy provided us clear, step-by-step instructions, arranged all the repair quotations and contractor visits, and helped us get an extra seller credit! We think we were very lucky to meet Tommy and have him to helping us buy this condo. His friendly attitude works great with all parties (lender, HOA, title company, and others) and his great efforts in helped to make our purchasing process very smooth and relaxed. Last but not least and much appreciated, he helped us save money! Thanks Tommy! We are very happy to share our experience with our friends and anywhere we can (Zillow, Google, Facebook and Realtor.com); we strongly recommend Tommy!
