As a licensed attorney with a wide range of experience, Tom Smith has the talent and skill to guide you through the process of buying or selling your home. Tom earned his real estate salesperson license while working as a full-time lawyer, and soon began moonlighting as a realtor on nights and weekends to gain traction in the industry. Before long, he realized that he was happiest on those nights and weekends, helping people through one of the most exciting, and admittedly frightening, steps of their lives! On the expert advice of a Peanuts wall calendar, he decided to “just go for it” and made the switch to working as a realtor full-time.
Tom is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. Although he is a strong believer that kindness is always the first and best strategy, he is ready and willing to fight for you. He has plenty of experience going toe-to-toe when necessary, and will do everything in his power to protect your best interests.
A graduate of Wayne State University Law School, Tom was the President of the Student Bar Association Board of Governors, and delivered the Commencement Speech for his graduating class. In his spare time, he loves training for running events with his wife, playing board games with friends, and listening to comedy podcasts.

My boyfriend and I used Tom Smith as our Realtor - Tom came recommended to us, and we couldn't be happier with our choice to go with Tom! We spoke on the phone at length about what we were looking for in a home, before we even met in person - he was very attentive and he was able to answer all of our questions. When we looked at houses together, Tom was on-time and prepared with listing info and disclosures about the homes. He was willing to stretch out of his main area for us and look a little further out. It was no problem for Tom to organize 5 listings to show us in the same afternoon and I'm pretty sure he would have done more had we asked! He was very organized. We were very lucky and found a home after 2 outings with Tom. He was knowledgeable about our purchase area (Livonia, MI) and had really good advice about how to make an offer and what he felt was fair to offer to the seller. If he wasn't available in person, we knew Tom was always available by phone or text. He walked us through the steps to offer and all of the requirements thereafter as there were many. He always kept us informed and we always knew what to expect. When we had questions about the property, he would find out within a day and get back to us. He took the time to make us feel like important clients and helped explain documents when we had questions. He was also there for all of our inspections - which was great because you want your realtor there with you for that. Tom is an all-out nice and honest person, and very professional. We didn't feel any pressure from Tom - he let us direct the home search to our needs. We met a lot of realtors during open houses while we researched homes. Tom was even very open about making sure we were a good fit, as not every client meshes well with every realtor. But I would go with Tom again in heartbeat. I would absolutely recommend Tom Smith to any of my friends and family for their home purchase. I'm not sure what it's like to sell a home with Tom, but I bet he'd be great at that too. He was always willing to do more for us and help us in any way he could.

The best part about Tom is that he is truly your friend in this business. Something that other agents only aspire to be. It was incredible to work with Tom. He heard us out so well and set up walk-ins ever so promptly. He kept no pre-conceived ideas about what we might like or dislike. It was genuinely a smooth process for us and the best part is we got a wonderful person as a friend from it. So thank you Tom!

Tom has been fantastic and essential in helping us find a home. We were first time home buyers, and Tom helped navigate the process in a way that informed us of all the details (including the legal ones) and made us feel comfortable and confident along the way. Tom is very professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and also one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. I 100% recommend Tom for anyone looking for a real estate professional.

It is my pleasure to write a review of my Real Estate Agent, Tom Smith. Multiple times, I informed my fiance that if I end up dead, she should tell the police detective to "look at" Tom Smith. Why? Because I am the worst home buyer EVER. I was CONSTANTLY messaging, calling, and emailing Tom to look at different houses, get different information, place different offers, request information from the city, etc. I pretty much had Tom on speed dial, and spoke with him nearly daily for 7 months straight. Tom took me to see well over 50 homes to consider. He helped me place a total of 7 offers, and consoled me when the first 6 were rejected or fell through. During my house hunt, I was constantly in communication with Tom, and he ALWAYS responded to my calls, text messages, and emails PROMPTLY. Tom, even though relatively new to real estate, is incredibly knowledgeable. I ask TONS of questions, and he was able to answer most. The few questions he couldn't answer, he would research and find the answer for me. Tom never pressured me, hurried me, or tried to persuade me. I am certain he truly was interested in me finding the best house for me and my life situation rather than just making the sale. The home I purchased with Tom's help is my first. And I knew very little about the home buying process. Tom helped and aided me every step of the way! It is clear to me that his background as a lawyer has provided him with a tremendous understanding of contracts, negotiations, and the process of writing legal documents. He would often clarify terms and language of contracts that I was unfamiliar with. The piece of mind I received by having a real estate agent who has a mastery of law and contractual language was incredible. Further, I have an unpredictable schedule at times, and occasionally had to change plans of home viewing at the last minute. Tom was ALWAYS understanding and accommodating. He went out of his way regularly to ensure I got the home viewings I wanted with my varied schedule. I did not meet Tom until searching for a home. In fact, he was not my first real estate agent, but my third. The first two were both pushy and disingenuous. They both remarked how they "are the 'Top Rated' real estate agent in the area. I was complaining to a friend about my sub-par experiences, and she recommended that I give Tom a call. From the day we met, I could instantly tell Tom was significantly different and better than my previous two agents. Have you ever received the "friends and family" treatment? I had never met Tom, nor was he my friend or family, but somehow he managed to provide me what truly felt like the "friend and family" experience. On the day of closing, Tom was there to celebrate with me and offer sincere congratulations. I thanked him for his amazing work and he responded with "this is what I love to do." Tom is a kind, warm, generous, honest, and a great human being. And he is a wonderful Real Estate Professional to boot. It is without hesitation that I give Thomas Smith my absolute highest recommendation.
