I refinanced for the first time working with Tom. Right off the bat you got the feeling that he genuinely cared about helping you save money. The entire process went as smooth as anyone could hope. Tom and his employees answered every question/email promptly and I never once felt like I was being ignored or just was another client. If you are looking to refinance or buying a new home I honestly could not recommend anyone better than Tom.
Tom Barnes is knowledgeable, patient and very informative. I am a retiree, and i just purchased my first home with help from Tom. I had numerous questions and concerns, Tom answered all my calls and texts (and there were many) in a prompt and and reassuring manner. He absolutely kept me informed of each step, and what i should expect next. I ean into some obstacles with my mortgage application and Tom guided me how to solve the problem. I must admit I was nervous and Tom calmed me and lead me down the right path! I am a proud and ecstatic owner of my dream home and have Tom Barnes to thank for making my dream a reality!!
What can I say? Working with Tom was an overall wonderful experience. You can really see how passionate Tom is about what he does. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, but you can feel that he genuinely cares about his clients; he was able to get us a really amazing rate. Tom is truly a great person to have on your team! Buying a home for the first time, was exciting but confusing at points. My boyfriend and I had almost a constant flow of questions at quite a few points; which Tom answered for us clearly and concisely, in an impressively timely manner. Through every step of the process, Tom was there to assist us. He really makes you feel like family! If you are looking for a great mortgage broker, I would wholeheartedly recommend using Tom!
So my story starts off like most stories — you dream of owning a home.....However, I had been through an ugly divorce and my finances were previously destroyed. I wasn’t even sure u would qualify. A friend of mine recommended Tom to me. To be honest, I dodged his calls. He didn’t give up. He texted me. He kept leaving messages. He was persistent. I finally called him back. He told me I was more than qualified. I had done a great job of fixing my credit. Every time I had a question Tom was there via text or phone call any time day or night. It was clear to me from the very beginning he was passionate about his profession and wanted to do whatever he could to put me in the home of my dreams. I went and put an offer on a home. We went into contract and issues came up (details are not necessary here) that people said were beyond extenuating circumstances. A total of 10 banks turned us down for our mortgage that I was more than financially fit to cover due to circumstances beyond my control. Tom didn’t stop at 10 — he found another lender. He had to take obtain special certification to apply for this lender. He did it. He was determined to get me into our dream home. We went back and forth with this lender for 3 months. He kept in contact with me every single day with updates. Every single day without fail. He even called me from his honeymoon out of the country because he’s that dedicated to his craft. I had friends who were in the business in other states tell me it was not going to happen. They wanted me to brace myself. Tom didn’t give up. I think you know how this story ends. It ends with a closing. One that I referred to as a unicorn closing because people told me it didn’t happen. It couldn’t exist. Well Tom made it so. On the day of my closing he traveled at the end of his day to come to my closing because it was an evening closing due to my work schedule. If you are in the market for a home call Tom and I can tell you no matter what your circumstance he will get it done. He is reliable in every sense of the word. I recommend Tom to everyone. He started off as my mortgage broker and quickly became someone I consider family. Oh and I didn’t even mention the ridiculous rate be locked me into. I’m telling you the man is a miracle worker!!!
Tom is a great mortgage broker and a true professional. As a first time home buyer I was nervous about the process but Tom made the whole process smooth and easy. Very reliable and always answered the phone. Kept us updated and really made the process enjoyable. I definitely recommend Tom to anyone who is going through the house buying process! Went above and beyond for us and got us a great interest rate and closed on time!
Using Tom from the beginning of my home buying process was the best decision I made. Not only is he passionate about his work and his clients, but he's honest and up front as well. Tom was always available and answered any questions I had during the process in a timely manner. Not only was it a pleasure to work with him, but to work with and use all of connections in the real estate world from lawyers to real estate agents. Being able to trust Tom in this nerve wracking process of being a first time home buyer was the light through this very anxious journey. I cannot recommend Tom and his expertise enough. He was able to do my close in 30 days with no trouble or speed bumps along the way. I cannot recommend him enough!
Tom was amazing to work with from the moment we met with him back in February. Nothing short of honest & professional, he was very helpful in us understanding the financial side of the home buying process as well as very clear as to what (round about) things would cost. I am so happy we worked with Tom throughout this process & highly recommend him to anyone searching for a home! As a first time home buyer it can be very intimidating but Tom was helpful & honest throughout. I can’t say enough good things about our experience! Work with Tom, you won’t regret it!!

Thomas is a pleasure to work with. He will be the ONLY person I will recommend to all of my family and friends for future home purchases.
