This was the second property that I sold with Tom Rao's assistance. The housing market was different this time and with his experience we were able to navigate the sale of our own home. He was able to level set our expectations early on so that we could maximize our proceeds in a more buyer centric market. Through his comparison with other properties to ours we settled on a selling price that led to offers from serious buyers. He helped us keep our emotions out of the process and ultimately the current market dictated the selling price for the house. I would definitely recommend Tom without hesitation to any homeowner that is considering selling their house.

Tom Rao's reputation prededed him; we were referred by a neighbor. Tom knows the city well. We accepted our first offer within days of listing. It should be noted that we are out-of-state sellers. Therefore, Tom was our intermediary for all required "seller" responsibilities, including working with our HOA and interfacing with neighbors. Additionally, Tom kept us informed by sharing all new competitive listings on a weekly basis. We talked frequently each week as the escrow progressed. We assure anyone looking for a real estate agent, Tom Rao would exceed their expectations.

I met Tom four years ago and mention I was lookig for a propery in NewPort. He immediately asked the price range I was intersted in and got all my info and set up a direct listing in the Newport and surrounding towns. He shows me many properties and was phyiscally there!!! Once I found the property in NewPort. Tom wasted no time and worked dillgence to get my offer accepted and deal closed. I appreciated Tom's hard work and as a builder/ developer myself I understand what it takes to get the job done right! Tom & I have become good friends. Joe venturoso

This was the best experience I've ever had with a realter! I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Tom was very cordial and always professional in his manner of speaking and in general. It was a pleasant experience, overall.

It was a pleasure working with Tom Rao to sell our property. He explained all the steps in detail and advised us through the entire process. This enabled us to have a great outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Tom to anyone trying to sell or buy real estate.

When I first met Tom Rao it was during a very emotional time for me. I had cared for my uncle in his home while he was in hospice care and was then traveling back and forth from NJ to RI to settle his estate. I had finally realized that selling his house was the best decision as I did not have the expertise to do the needed renovations myself. It was my childhood home as well and where I had grown up in a loving extended family with my mother, my grandparents, and my uncle. Tom and I met and made a plan. He was very knowledgeable and made the process seem easy. I'm sure I wasn't the most difficult client he ever had but neither was I the easiest. Tom was patient and understanding with me through my panic attacks and indecisiveness and helped me set time lines and goals to counter my procrastination. Once I finally committed to a date for the house to go on the market, it sold within days at above the asking price. Tom was my rock through the whole process. Thank you, Tom!

The whole process was quick and painless. Thanks, Tom!

Tom Rao is the realtor who recently and quickly sold my condo. I could not have found a more knowlegable nor professional realtor. I have the most respect and admiration for him. The entire process was easier and more seamless than I could have dreamed. Tom worked tirelessly and competantly through all the details which made journey seem easy and seamless for me. He always kept me up-to-date about what was coming next. Tom is a wonderful person and a joy to work with. I cannot recomend him more highly.

Tom is always responsive, professional, and knowledgable- we enjoyed working with him and will refer him to friends and family
