We regret that we must charge $300 for one day's of service as a rental agent showing up to 5 properties and $450 for two day's services showing up to 10 properties. If the tenant buys a home from me within 15 months of the lease, all monies paid for showing rentals will be credited back as closing costs to the buyer.
Great! Tom was all around fantastic and made the process of selling our home straightforward, easy, and best of all, successful. From the first day I met with him and throughout the process he was extremely knowledgeable, incredibly responsive and always ahead of the ball. His expertise regarding the local market was instrumental in us being able to sell our home quickly and with minimal interruption to our lives. And he was able to get us multiple offers resulting in a higher than expected selling price. Having worked with other agents in the past, Tom is the hands down the best. Highly recommend him.

I was looking to buy a house. I saw Tom's ad for being a Real Estate agent. I told him I was a first time home buyer. From that first chat he helped and advised me through the whole process. Even though it's been a couple years since I bought the house he sends an email to check on me. I appreciate his business and will gladly recommend him anytime.
Description of Work: Home buying process. Finding a house in neighborhood, finding house in my budget. Putting offer in. Going through inspection. Closing process. Follow ups to see how customer is doing.

We have known Tom Menges for many hears, having first met him in our church. Because of this relationship, when we wanted to list our home, we chose Tom as our agent. He was honest about the repairs and improvements we needed to make to our home and he suggested a fair market price, in addition - and this was invaluable. He hired a stager at his own expense. With his many years in the real estate field, we highly recommend Tom.
Description of Work: Tom listed our home for sale.

Tom guided us very skillfully through the various difficulties of dealing with inspection and the bank audit of the inspection and so on. Everything worked out as we hoped. The buyer was delighted and so were we.
Description of Work: We were very pleased with Tom's helping us sell our home in Raleigh. We decided to wait and only sell the house after we bought our new home in Cary. That is not usually recommended but once we put our house up for sale, it sold to the first offer of full asking price on the first day.

Description of Work: Tom did a fantastic job. Great person to work with. Provided a lot more detailed information than I expected. More importantly, he took the time to explain it all. It was definitely money well spent. I highly recommend others who are thinking about doing work on their home or contemplating whether to sell to take advantage of this opportunity with Tom.

Description of Work: Mr. Menges provided listings of similar properties in our area, as well as composit data on the average cost of home projects (i.e., maintenance, repair, and remodeling) and expected return on investment. These were helpful for estimating market value and prioritizing essential projects.

Description of Work: The project went quite well. Tom did an excellent job helping me establish an asking price on my home and because I was moving out of state, he coordinated the work required to get the home ready for sale. My home sold within just a few days and the closing went smoothly as well. If you are interested in selling your home, I highly recommend Tom Menges.

Contacted me immediately. Extremely responsive. A few days later, came to the house to do a walk thru. A few days after that, he came back with professionally bound presentations of what the house is worth now and what it might be worth in the near future if suggested improvements are made. Included historical market highs and lows in neighborhood, how fast homes are selling etc. In addition, he provided us with another professionally bound presentation of what certain improvements will add to the cost of homes in both wake county and nationally. This is a very valuable tool and it includes everything from a new roof to medium level of kitchen or bath renovation to complete renovation of same and other projects. Very well done and thorough.. Very professional presentation. Impressed. Would highly recommend. Plus, I looked up his reviews on other websites and they were all very positive.
Description of Work: House property evaluation now and after suggested improvements were made.

Tom Menges was professional, well versed in his profession and an excellent educator. He provided a two volume personalized supplement which illustrated a detailed description of our homes value in contrast with six comparisons in our local area. He also described weighting factors used to normalize his calculations and spent over an hour reviewing the documentation. After a walkthrough Tom pointed out areas in need of repair and cleansing prior to placing our home on the market. I found Mr. Menges personable and knowledgeable. My wife and I will undoubtedly use his services in the future when we decide to sell our home. Jeffrey Harris Raleigh, NC

Before deciding on an agent for the sale of my parents' home, I researched agents on Angie's List, Zillow, and other rating sites. Based on where my parents' home was located and available information about agents' listing experience in that area, I narrowed down the list of recommended agents to three. I interviewed all three agents and gave each agent the opportunity to examine the house and explain how he or she would market it. Of the three, Tom Menges stood out for the comprehensiveness of his marketing plan and his explanation of how to sell an older home in a pricier neighborhood. My assessment of what he brought to the table was fully borne out by his handling of the house's marketing and his dealings with potential buyers and their agents. Based on Tom's plan, we "dressed up" the house for an as-is sale, put the house on MLS on a Tuesday in early May, held an open house on the following Saturday, and had three credible offers on the table by the following Monday evening. The offer we accepted was for nearly $10,000 above our asking price; the sale closed this past Friday. While there was an element of good market timing involved, I give credit to Tom's marketing plan and the work of his full team (and there really is a team!) for getting my parents a price for their home that far exceeded what we had expected. Further, Tom was very easy to work with and very solid on staying in communication with me during the entire process. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience.
