Tom recently helped us to purchase a home in Oakland. He worked diligently on our behalf to build a relationship with the sellers' agent and was able to help us out-compete an all cash offer. From the initial consultation to viewing properties to the follow-up after closing, we were always expertly guided by Tom. So if you are in the market to buy or sell a home, we recommend you get in touch with Tom ASAP! read more

Tom has helped me buy 2 properties and sell 1 property. He is a professional and knows exactly what he's doing. He's very straightforward and to the point and I appreciate that very much. I look forward to working with him again in the future and I highly recommend him for your real estate needs! read more

Tom was the listing agent for a property that our family recently sold and he did a great job. Tom was easy to work with very straightforward and thorough and knew the process to get the best possible offer for the property. read more

I was introduced to Tom during my home search after my first real estate agent proved to not have the requisite knowledge of purchasing a home in the Oakland area. Tom took the time to listen to what I was looking for - and get me into the properties I wanted to see. He helped to guide me through the Oakland real estate market which during normal times can be quite complicated as I was accustomed to other real estate markets. Add in a pandemic and the partnership with Tom became all the more valuable as he was well prepared to help guide me through the rapidly changing market conditions. I will definitely be reaching out to Tom again for any of my future real estate needs and I would recommend that you do also if you are reading this review. Thanks Tom! read more

I was introduced to Tom by another happy customer. The TL;DR - Tom is the combination of experience and approach you need to help you find your dream home (like he did for us). Tom is extremely knowledgeable on the local (East Bay) market and knows a lot of the other players in the industry. He was always honest and clear with us as to what our concerns should be, and he kept us on track and ensured we knew what we DIDN'T know (essential to us as first time home buyers). Tom is a project manager, risk manager, and relationship manager, finance manger... he literally knows it all top to bottom. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tom to any of my friends, and if I ever move (feels like a long shot right now) I will be listing my house through him (as well as enlisting his help in house hunting if it happens to be local again). Tom - thank you for everything! read more

Tom is one of the best real estate agents I've worked with. He has a knowledge base that is rare in this industry. He always knows the best path forward and watches every detail constantly. You need a true professional? Call Tom... read more

As first time home-buyers, the prospect of entering the world of bay area real estate was daunting to say the least! Tom walked us through this experience every step of the way, was patient and helpful with our endless questions, extremely responsive to calls & emails, and fun to work with! Tom has a wonderfully straightforward and direct manner mixed with astute knowledge of east bay real estate (+ the added benefit of construction know-how--a MAJOR perk in evaluating the purchase of a new home). Our fairytale ending with Tom was him helping us find the home of our dreams and then expertly manage the ensuing logistics so closing went as smoothly as possible.... what more can one ask for? Highly recommended. read more

Tom did an awesome job in preparing our house for sale and taking care of all the details. We had moved out of the area and could not have done this project without him. The house had been rented and was in need of painting and landscaping which made a huge difference in the way the house was able to be marketed. Tom's resources and connections to do the work were all very professional and good to work with. The work was done very quickly and well. We were working under some very serious time limitations. Tom was wise to get all of the disclosures and reports done in advance, which made a huge difference in staying on course and meeting our time constraints. If you are looking for a top quality project manager I highly recommend Tom Watson. Our project was challenging in large part due to hard and fast deadlines. Attention to details and determined focus can be credited to the success of our sale. read more

Thanks Tom for truly going above and beyond for us before during and after our successful venture into the Oakland real estate market. Tom is part advocate, part level-headed business man, part therapist, and part buddy. He made himself very accessible during the house hunt and is very knowledgeable about residential construction and the greater Oakland area. One thing that has meant a lot to our family is that TW has delivered terrific service after sale. We hear many agents vanish after you buy but he has been incredibly proactive in helping us gain access to our new place when needed and in helping us get situated in a new town. Our family highly recommends Tom Watson as a real estate agent! read more

Review: What are the qualities of a good realtor? Knowledge, both of the market and of home repair and construction. Good customer service: calling or e-mailing back promptly and making appointments to fit your schedule. Listening to your needs and goals, instead of pushing you to buy this or that property so they can get their commission. Being a sharp negotiator, but also having good relationships with other agents. And finally, going the proverbial extra mile so that you feel taken care of and valued. Tom has all of these qualities, and my wife and I have wholeheartedly recommended him to all of our friends who have been interested in buying a house. Now the decision to work with Tom was not a hasty one; he was the third realtor we interviewed, and we went with him because while buying us lunch, he impressed us with several of those qualities I mentioned above, and we've been happy about that decision during the entire process and also in the months since closing. He took the time to show us over twenty houses (coming over from his office in SF to Oakland to do so), on our schedules. We looked at a fixer-upper that was about $150k more than we'd thought, but Tom didn't push us to do it, but honestly pointed out the pros and cons of what such a project would likely entail. So did we get the right house? Absolutely--in our price range, and with all of the key features that we wanted. But it's been since then that Tom has continued to prove why he's a professional worth recommending: he took us out to dinner to celebrate our closing, he co-sponsored our housewarming party, paying for catering, and after I was laid off he also invited me to his networking group and sent a card reiterating his desire to help however he could. That's a five-star realtor. read more

Looking for a professional, knowledgeable, honest and hard-working realtor? Tom Watson is the agent for you. While on our home search with several different realtors, we were seriously tired of hearing how "beautiful the bay window is" and how "nice the crown moldings are." It was a breath of fresh air when we met Tom. Unlike most realtors, Tom pointed out the flaws of the property and gave us realistic and useful advice (i.e.-how much it would most likely cost to fix something and if it would really work for our budget). For me, being a first-time buyer (and someone who really doesn't look past the pretty and shiny floors), his counsel, has been extremely helpful and appreciated. Other helpful information you should know about Tom: 1) He promptly responds to email/calls. 2) He's a great negotiator-firm, but not pushy. 3) He ventures outside of his specialized area(s)! I've dragged him all over the East Bay. Haven't heard a single complaint from him. 4) He's extremely patient and thoughtful (he got us a pumpkin for halloween!). Tom's the best...and you really do need the best to be part of YOUR team. read more

Tom is great if you want to hear what you want to hear . He probably skied during the weekend you tried to sell your house. He is also great at suggesting his "friends" for work that doesn't need to b conducted , but will make you house "look" awesome.... but at a large cost, I'm happy to be a reference for his work Alec Akhitch@yahoo.com read more

Tom Watson is an excellent real estate agent who I would recommend to anyone. If you're a first time home buyer like I was then you are in good hands with Tom, because he makes what is a very complicated process as simple as possible. Beyond that he's always available to answer questions (phone, email, text), communicates directly, honestly, and effectively; knows people in the industry and understands the details of executing a real estate transaction; and takes initiative whenever possible whether it's to just check in with his clients or to contact key people involved in your upcoming offer and transaction. When it came time to write offers he walked me through the process, explained options, pitfalls, and terminology; and produced all required documents in a timely and efficient manner (even if he had many other things on his plate). Although it's a nerve wracking process I never felt like I was making bad or uninformed decisions. A final note: his knowledge of construction and remodeling as well as his attention to detail is invaluable - he will spot problems which you will not notice unless you have experience buying houses or are a contractor, which means you can assess costs of potentially remodeling long before you decide to make an offer on a house. In many cases those costs may not be worth it or affordable, so it's always better to know such details sooner than later. read more

I just purchased my first home in San Francisco through the representation of Tom Watson. I was completely new to the real estate market and a bit overwhelmed. Tom, with his deep knowledge and experience was able to shepherd me through the learning process and took the time to explain the local market, his recommendations, and what to expect. Tom is perfect for first time home buyers becuase he takes the time to understands the clients' specific needs. Tom is very prompt and professional. When he says he's going to do something, he does it. He sticks up for his clients and will give you his honest opinion on everything. I highly recommend Tom for the first time home buyer or any buyer for that matter. Thanks Tom read more

Tom recently helped me and my husband purchase a home in Berkeley. Even though we hadn't known Tom for long when we wanted to make an offer on our home, he was engaged, responsive, and enthusiastic as soon as we were introduced. Tom is very knowledgeable about the market in the East Bay. He was communicative and easy to get in touch with throughout our home purchase. He is also a really nice guy, and was pleasant and easy to work with, even in a fast-paced transaction with short deadlines. Tom did a great job at handling the personalities involved in our particular purchase. He was also excellent at following up with us and working with the vendors we used throughout the transaction. If we need to sell or buy another home in the area, my husband and I will definitely use Tom again. read more

Tom is an exceptional realtor who is looking out for your best interest. When we placed our first offer he advised us not to overpay. He always gave us the space to decide on an offer price that we felt comfortable with. When we got into a sticky situation Tom was able to skillfully help us navigate through it. He has a great team that is incredibly organized, putting together all of the offer paperwork and we had nothing to worry about. Tom is trustworthy, knowledgeable and has excellent negotiation and management skills. In addition to his strengths as a realtor, Tom is a genuine person and a great guy. We really enjoyed working with him and will continue to do so. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone house-hunting in San Francisco or the East Bay. He is hands down one of the best! read more

Tom is an excellent realtor and trusted partner in the often crazy world of real estate. We had a really difficult situation with the sale of our condo and Tom was able to pull it off. There were many times I wanted to give up on selling our home because of the all upsets from the buyers or the bank, and Tom was able to guide me through the process. There were many times I was calling him late at night in a panic to hear his feedback on situations that had me up at night. He answered all my questions and always returned my calls in a timely manner. He is always professional and works really hard at giving you candid advice even if you don't want to hear it. On a personal level he is a genuine, honest, good person. He is successful for a good reason! read more

I highly recommend Tom Watson for your real estate transaction. Tom Watson has excellent negotiation and management skills. He knows real estate, but more importantly he knows people and how to handle them well. Tom ensured that all of the details of our Oakland real estate transaction went very smoothly, and his judgment is just excellent. He's experienced, he has a system, and you should just go with the program because Tom knows what he's doing. Follow his suggestions, all of them - don't suggest, "oh but I know a guy who can fix that for me" or "I'd rather use my bank for the mortgage". He and his network of service-oriented professionals are a true team. He handled the negotiations extremely well. Leveraging that team of professionals in his network, he was able to get us a great price for our Oakland home in a very tough sellers' market. Tom Watson should really be your Oakland / East Bay real estate agent. read more

Tom is an incredibly knowledgable realtor! My fiancée and I were first-time homebuyers, while also purchasing in the Bay Area - neither of which are simple feats. Tom is a really personable, friendly guy, and his demeanor always helped put us at ease, even through stressful situations. Tom took extra time out of his schedule to hold our hands and walk us through the Bay Area real estate gauntlet. At one point, while Tom was thoroughly explaining all portions of the contracts, a real estate agent that he was mentoring mentioned that she had never seen a real estate agent with such deep knowledge of the entire process, top-to-bottom, and that she was so happy to be a have been witness to his process that day for her own learning. Tom gave us the confidence to take on the market, successfully got us into our FIRST choice home, and has continued to be a friend and resource as we start our new life. He has a strong network of trustworthy contractors, lenders, handymen, and numerous local businesses that he also flexes to help make your purchase as streamlined as possible, while not pushing you into anything. I would suggest Tom to my family, my closest of friends, and to you, the reader. You'll be in terrific hands! read more

I didn't think Realtors were supposed to be ethical and righteous! Tom has proven me wrong -- he is a fantastic guy and works incredibly hard for his clients. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Tom Watson is a top-notch real estate agent and my wife and I would recommend him to anyone who is considering purchasing or selling a home. We were first-time homeowners and were preparing to be first time sellers and we were a little anxious about finding the right agent to market/sell our home. When we met with Tom he walked us through the entire process in detail. He explained what he and his team would do and he was very direct regarding what would be required of us to prepare the house to place on the market. What Tom did not mention were the many value-adds that come with his being your agent. We appreciated Tom's direct and can-do style. He communicates very well utilizing phone, text and email, he is highly proactive, and works closely with his entire team, which in our particular case included his amazing assistant, painters, landscapers, carpet installers, repairmen, cleaners, stagers, and escrow and loan officers. Tom managed the project like a maestro. Anytime there was a potential glitch or 'surprise,' Tom was there with a solution and he and his team kept the project moving forward always keeping our budget in mind. After we had accepted an offer and just days before closing, the City of Oakland threw an unexpected obstacle in our path - the passing of a new ordinance requiring additional work to be completed before selling an Oakland property. With just days to close, my wife and I were concerned that this could delay or even derail the sale. I remember the call I had with Tom. He listened to me voice my concerns, then replied, "You and your wife buckle your seatbelt and relax - I'm going to land this plane." Tom met with his team. Then not only did his contractor meet with city hall reps to determine what specifically was required of us -- his crew completed the work, submitted the paperwork and other materials to city hall IN PERSON, they received the final certification from the City of Oakland, and we closed a day earlier than originally scheduled. Amazing!! When my wife and I found our new home, it was not located in the immediate bay area but we knew who to call. We contacted Tom who researched the property, obtained all the information we needed/wanted and he did a walk-through with us the very next day. Tom handled the negotiations and our offer was quickly accepted. A close date was scheduled but with a long holiday weekend coming up and a few delays in the loan process, it appeared almost certain that we were going to need to extend the close date, and against Tom's advice I had already scheduled movers. Fortunately for us, Tom had connected with our loan officer months earlier (did I mention that he is highly proactive?) and he was persistent and worked closely with our bank while coordinating with the escrow company to keep everything on track and the result is that we closed the morning of the scheduled close date. Tom Watson should wear a huge 'S' on his chest because he is Super/b at his job. read more

Tom is great, he understands his clients needs but most importantly knows how to get the job done. He is best at understanding the fit for his clients. We have nothing but great things to say. He understands the city and surrounding areas. read more

Ok, Tom Watson is AWESOME! We just sold a home in Oakland with Tom as the listing agent. From our first meeting to closing, Tom has been available to answer questions, and obtain and lineup businesses to tackle the jobs needed to prepare the house for listing. He is so aware of the market and potential buyers that his prediction of the type of likely buyer and likely selling price were right on. Thanks Tom for you continued professionalism! S.Tateo read more

Tom is a great realtor. He knows what needs to be done to make a transaction happen. Tom represented us for the sale of our former home. He sat down with us to discuss what he thought we needed to do (and not do) to make the home sell. After we agreed to the work/inspection items, Tom took over and arranged the bids, scheduled the work and managed the whole process. Tom takes care of the whole transaction! Throughout the process we greatly appreciated both Tom's advice on strategy and his attention to details. We were very pleased with the outcome of our sale. In addition to his strengths as a realtor, Tom is a great guy and enjoyable to work with. We highly recommend him. read more

I don't plan on selling my great new place for a while, or buying another, but if I do Tom will be the guy. Tom was very knowledgeable about the market and helped me find the perfect spot and a good price. The people he works with, from assistants to inspectors to mortgage brokers, are all top notch. I think his greatest strength is getting the deal done. Once I found my dream spot, we closed escrow *faster* than expected. He stayed on top of everything and crossed all of the T's and dotted all of the I's. I don't know what more one could ask of a realtor. read more

If you are looking for the exceptionally smart, honest and dedicated agent - look no further. As soon as we have decided to sell our property - Tom has called me within twenty minutes. He always has everything ready, never skipped a bit. Me and my wife are busy with our two kids and have no time for real estate "stuff" - so Tom IS THE SOLUTION. Seriously. Honestly. I will recommend him to anybody in any time. read more

Last year, we were referred to Tom Watson as an excellent realtor serving the East Bay. We were first time homebuyers, so absolutely everything about the process was new to us. When we began working with Tom in mid July, we had already seen at least 75 houses. Upon learning this, he asked us point blank why we hadn't made any offers ... and we had no answer. That was the kick in the pants we needed to take the next step. Anybody in a home search last summer and fall knows that the market changed dramatically. Every house within our price range was getting multiple offers well over the asking price, immediately putting them out of our range. Tom encouraged us to stay positive and focused through several offers, tailoring his strategy on each. Tom's strength as a negotiator became evident the first time we got into contract on a house. Then, after a battery of inspections revealed the house to have problems beyond our financial means to address, Tom did not hesitate in counseling us to walk away, demonstrating clearly that he put our best interest first. The home buying process can be stressful, emotional, and disheartening, especially in a highly competitive market. Tom listened to and assuaged our fears, remained supremely objective, and kept us moving forward. Due to his guidance and reassurance, we were able to keep the faith and persist in our home search. In mid September, Tom's expert and intuitive strategy allowed our seventh offer to become our final one, succeeding over numerous others, including offers higher than ours. After great inspections and a smooth and efficient escrow period, we found ourselves signing closing papers and moving in before the end of October. We are very happy in our new home, and we have Tom to thank for it. So what will you get working with Tom Watson as your realtor? 1) A licensed, full time, professional realtor, 2) An agent extremely knowledgeable about real estate in general, and experienced in the local market/neighborhoods in particular, 3) An intelligent, savvy, and innovative strategist and negotiator, 4) A man of integrity who is direct and straightforward, doesn't sugar coat or pander, and isn't afraid to challenge his clients when they need it, 5) A likeable guy with a good sense of humor, especially when it's needed, 6) A proactive communicator, 7) A person who is by nature grounded, focused, motivated, and able to remain objective when his clients react emotionally, 8) A tenacious advocate on behalf of his clients, 9) A professional with a network of trustworthy service providers related to the home buying process, AND FINALLY 10) The home you've been looking for. Believe us when we say, Tom is one of the good guys. read more

In our business, we interact with real estate professionals on a daily basis. Most are competent, and some are good. Fewer still are the truly passionate and committed realtors who routinely go above and beyond for their clients. Tom Watson is one of those few. It is easy to tell when talking with his enthusiastic clients that he has taken great care of them. His flexible approach, attention to detail, and especially his understanding of each of his client's individual needs sets him far above other realtors. Tom Watson is the real deal. We are proud to be able to continue working with such an outstanding professional. Carefree Moves Orinda, CA read more

We are grateful that our financial advisor recommended that we interview Tom Watson to be our agent for the sale of our Oakland home. I have to admit, we were a bit intimidated at first after meeting Tom. Tom in person is very eloquent, confident, and a strong presence. After our initial meeting and during subsequent correspondence, we knew that Tom was true to his word and a "no nonsense" kind of agent. We unfortunately had to go through a short sale process, and Tom walked us through the whole process with wisdom and reassured us with his vast experience in the short sale process. He is so experienced and so good at handling the paperwork, the negotiating, the conversations with banks, etc.; Tom has earned our respect and successfully guided us through a very trying time in our lives. We truly can say that we had all the trust in world of Tom, and despite the painful short sale process, he handled everything professionally, persistently, and faithfully. I whole-heartedly agree with someone else who has already stated: That's a five-star realtor. read more

First time homebuyer here- and thank you Tom Watson- I would not have done it without you! If I could give more than five stars, I would, because Tom is truly a phenomenal real estate agent. Tom is honest, real and actually looked out for my well-being. When considering neighborhoods in SF and East Bay, he was concerned with my safety and quality of life- not just another deal for him- but really helped me consider what it means to buy as it was all new to me- and find me the right home. He would give me his honest opinion and insight from his obviously great experience and knowledge of the industry. He would point out flaws that I may have missed when checking out properties Tom has a lot of integrity, and was always responsive and diligent- helped me every step of the way. Another plus- Tom is well sharp and well-connected so when it comes to getting the place you want and closing, Tom is the agent you can count on. He is also an expert versed in ALL TRANSACTIONS- TIC/ Condo conversions (what I ended up getting), short sales (2nd home I put an offer on), and REO (1st home I put an offer in on). Whatever your situation, Tom is the expert and will make you feel at ease, AND make it happen. I wouldn't recommend anyone else looking to buy real estate in San Francisco and the East Bay. Tom is the best- he is your man if you are looking for the right person to work hard and do everything possible to make your deal work. read more

Tom was truly top notch. We were first time home buyers, and Tom was able to zero in on exactly what we were looking for, introduced us to a new neighborhood we hadn't been searching, and was able to help us put together a great offer and strategic counter offer on our dream home. Throughout escrow, he was super thorough, and available to answer any questions. As first time home buyers the process is daunting, but Tom made us feel confident and supported and we knew we were in great hands. As a bonus, Tom is also super knowledgeable in home construction and general contracting costs as he has experience building homes himself, which is incredibly helpful when figuring additional costs for remodels. Additionally, he has an expansive network of high quality and well priced contractors, vendors, designers, etc. to work with after you purchase your home. We can definitely recommend Tom as a trustworthy, experienced, knowledgeable and reliable agent that will help you feel comfortable and help you find your dream home. Thank you Tom! read more

Tom Watson is an experienced and highly knowledgeable Realtor whom I highly recommend. I was connected with Tom during my first search for a home in the East Bay a couple years ago and Tom had my back each step of the way. During my first stab at making an offer on a condo, Tom thoroughly reviewed the contingencies and did the right thing by advising I be weary of the deal which included a likely $8k expense as result of shaky Homeowners Association finances. His brief mention of the expense enlightened me to the risk and reinforced to me what Tom had also advised me of earlier, to read and understand the contingencies. Also, Tom is a great guy to work with and he works well with other Realtor's which is a good thing too. He knows the market, how things work, and he's passionate about serving the clients he works with. Choose Tom as your Realtor if he's in your area. read more

Tom was very helpful in our search for a house! We were competing in a very tight market and kept being outbid...very frustrating. We ended up with our house (which I love!!!) because it was overpriced to start and lingered on the market. I was hesistant in the beginning because it wasn't staged and looked so small but Tom really pushed us to consider it. I hated the strong encouragment at the time but I AM SO HAPPY we did because it meets all of our needs -- Thank You Tom! I also appreciated his wisdom of not taking on a fixer-upper house right before our wedding. He really read both my and my husband's desires and needs and provided sage advice. Getting married and setting up home has kept us busy for months and I'm so glad we're not in the middle of renovation! Plus he threw us a lovely catered housewarming party so we could show it off to our friends when we had no money ;) read more

Tom Watson gets a glowing report from me as a first time home buyer! Tom was always available and answered all of my "panicked" phone calls. He is a wealth of knowledge and I always felt like someone had my back. Buying a house can be an overwhelming experience, he always took the time to explain everything to me and made me feel 100% comfortable. If I'm ever buying another house..It's with Tom Watson! read more

Tom Watson is the best! Relators make me nervous- like really nervous. I hate feeling as if I need to doubt or mistrust people's intentions, and in the sales market it is so common to meet people who are always pitching you deals or trying to get you to buy/spend what they want. Tom is nothing like that. He is very straight forwards and always made me feel as if my best interests were the most important. He listened to us- listened and heard our concerns and apprehensions. Because of that we were able to find a perfect fit for us. I highly recommend Tom- really he is the best. read more

Tom is a rock star realtor! He did an amazing job selling my loft. I never had to worry if he was getting things done. He kept me up to date the entire time. He's super knowledgeable and I knew i was in good hands. I would recommend him to anyone and wouldn't think twice to hire him again. read more

I listed my house with Tom in late October, 2006. He told me all the things I needed to do, connected me with all the people needed to do the work, and took on the responsibility of overseeing the whole project as I was leaving the state! The first open house was in late November, the house sold the second weekend on the market and escrow closed in January!!! I can't say enough about Tom! He was efficient, trustworthy, knowledgeable and made my move to another state (oh yes, he even recommended a mover) as easy as it could possibly have been! read more

I met Tom about 15 years ago when we were doing volunteer work together. So it seemed a good idea to ask him to help sell our house in Pleasant Hill. It was, he met with us, toured the house and interviewed us about the condition of the house. At that point, with some research, he provided us with comparisons of our house and other in the area. He made a recommendation that we have the house staged, which my wife thought she could do, but we followed his advise and he had it staged through his contacts. Best advise we received also with the right pricing, the open houses generated 16 offers. We sold a great price. Thank you Tom read more

Ok people. Let's face it. Buying a house in the Bay Area can be pretty harrowing. This is why you should ask Tom Watson to be your real estate agent. We just bought a house in Berkeley and Tom saw us through every step. With housing prices going up and inventory low, there was quite a bit of competition and it seemed like we might be looking forever. However, Tom stuck with us, gave us some insight into some opportunities we might take advantage of, and we now, only a few months later, have a house that we are very happy with. If this is your first time buying a house, you will be shocked at how many details there are to manage and how much time is of the essence. You need someone who works hard, is on top of things, and above all, is in your corner and helps you understand and feel comfortable with the process. Tom does all of these things and, in addition, handles his transactions with you and other realtors with great integrity. He went above and beyond regularly, was constantly available, and made what turned out to be a very complicated closing easy for us. Finally, Tom is a lot of fun to work with. He has a great sense of humor, is full of energy, and will teach you a lot about the home buying process. For 2 months, he was the person I talked with most frequently according to my cell phone. And I don't know about you, but I want to enjoy talking to a person I have to talk to that much. Home buying can be stressful with lots of ups and downs, and it helps tremendously to work with someone who can help you keep things in perspective. If you are serious about buying a house, call Tom. You will not be sorry. read more

A damn fine person, and a damn fine realtor. I, being somewhat new to the bay area housing market, did not stand a chance. I was, in a word, overwhelmed. Tom is the only reason I made it through the process. He held my hand when I was feeling a bit lost and prodded me when I was feeling frustrated. Tom worked with me for months, guided me through a somewhat complicated closing, and continued to check-in for months following my move-in. I truly believe Tom cared that my wife and I ended up in THE place for us. If you are buying or selling property in and around San Francisco; Use Tom Watson. read more
