We recently bought a house with Tom which took us about a year to finally find a house we liked. Throughout the entire process Tom was very flexible, informative, and easy-going. A year is a long time to look at houses and not once did Tom seem annoyed or try to push us into something we weren’t sure on. Tom is extremely knowledgeable in this line of work and is not afraid to point out issues or potential problems down the road when looking at homes. Tom made sure to include us in emails or any conversations about the process or what was going on with the closing process which was extremely helpful to know what was going on and what the next steps were.
After we purchased this new house we listed our old house with Tom. We moved out and the next day Tom was already showing our house! Selling a house with Tom is just as easy-going as it was with us buying a home. He keeps you in the loop every step of the way!

My husband and I are first time home buyers and we had a fantastic experience working with Tom Bariether. He was very knowledgeable about the local housing market and helped us to find the home of our dreams. I cannot thank him enough for the work that he put in to help us find our first home. He used his negotiation skills to help us save around $40,000 on the price of our home! I would recommend Tom Bariether for anyone who is looking to purchase a home in our area.

I have now bought two homes with Tom's assistance, and looked through dozens more. I am very particular and Tom is very patient. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the local real estate market. Tom is extremely knowledgeable, and although I hope I never have to move again - if I have to - I will use Tom to look for my next house.

Tom was very helpful through the process of listing and selling my home for me. He provided great advice before listing the home and throughout the process of showing the home and then accepting an offer. He is very knowledgeable of the market so this helped me settle on a fair price for my home. I know the family that purchased my home will enjoy it as much as my family did!

The best way I can describe Tom as a Real Estate Professional is honest, trustworthy, and hard working. We were new to town and Tom was able to meet the needs we had in a home, neighborhood, and price range.
Coming from overseas, Tom had everything laid out and ready for our arrival. All appointments were taken care of and you can rest assured you are in good hands with TBar.

I worked with Tom from out of state and had no issues getting everything I needed. Even with a two hour time difference, Tom was super responsive by email and by phone. If I asked for something, Tom did everything in his power to make it possible. Tom did not treat me like he was a salesman, but more like a friend that he would tell the truth to and not mess around. I would highly recommend anyone from the newest buyer to the most experienced to utilize Tom Bariether. I know I will every time I make a real estate transaction, buying or selling!

Couldn’t ask for a more trusting realtor then Tom. He is honest, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his clients. When I moved out of state, he made sure my house was still taken care of. He checked the water and heat several times during the cold months; which was a big worry for me. He also kept me up to date before and after every showing. If something needed attention or repaired, he even helped me find a reliable contractor. I wouldn’t use any other realtor then Tom Bariether!

I highly recommend Tom Bariether as a realtor. Tom was always polite and friendly. He was good communicating with us as we were selling our Father's home. Tom showed the property several times and was always good letting us know the status of the showings. Tom had all the paperwork ready and all we had to so was show up and sign the papers once he sold the home.
