Tom Rao was informative, patient, and experienced. We felt we could trust him throughout the process of selling our house and were impressed by his expertise and professionalism. Each step was thoughtfully planned out and executed with excellent attention to detail. He had a vast knowledge of the local real estate market and was able to provide thorough and helpful explanations throughout the process. Overall Tom Rao's professionalism was outstanding and he provided great communication. We felt he always had our best interest in mind during decision-making. His friendliness and easy-going nature was a source of reassurance. We got more than what we had hoped for - a fast turn-around at an excellent price. He helped us realize our dream of relocating to a warmer climate closer to our children and grandchildren!

Have you ever been involved in a transaction where you started to wonder if the people on your team really had your best interest at heart? If you choose Tom Rao to help you, that thought will never cross your mind. Tom is laser focused on doing what you want and need while providing great advice that comes from his knowledge and experience gained from working and living in the Newport area. Tom has extensive contacts and will share them with you as you progress through your deal, and that extends to the time after the deal has closed. Need help finding a home inspector, attorney, the phone numbers to call to connect your utilities, insurance, just ask Tom. He will be there when you need him, even if at the moment you haven't figured out that you need him yet. He will keep the process moving when it wants to stall. Tom even took the trouble to print out 400 pages of documents he thought I should retain for my files so that I wouldn't have to do it myself. If you want a successful transaction ask Tom Rao and Hogan Associates to help you.

Tom was referred by a good friend of ours and I like the fact that he lives in Newport and knows the local market. Tom was great! He was very good about communicating key information throughout the process, especially since the listing agent wasn't very involved in the transaction. He even met the HVAC guys at the condo for us since we live out of state. We would definitely use Tom's services again and are looking forward to having him as our new neighbor!

Fellow member of the Newport Elks Lodge & fellow Bryant University alumnus. Tom Rao is a true professionial and it was a pleasure to work with him on my purchase. His real estate experience made my purchase much easier and he provided an excellent level of detail throughout the buying process. I will recommend him and plan to use him for future real estate transactions. Tom Rao was a pleasure to work with in every aspect of my real estate purchase. Tom supported me through a lengthy loan approval process and was always available to lend a guiding hand. Tom Rao has the real estate experience I required to answer all my questions and more importantly give me his opinion from start to finish.

Tom Rao was so professional took the time to help me find the proper people to make repairs that my house needed and made sure they followed through with the work. All I can say is I really appreciated him and would highly recommend him to anyone selling there home

Dealt with Tom before would highly recommend him to anyone Very good too work with Went very smoothly Didn’t deal with any one else Tom is very knowledgeable,patient and cares about his clients!

From the very first conversation we had with tommy regarding our interest in buying a home, he was nothing less than outstanding. He made it extremely easy (and exciting too!). There were a few times that we wanted to set up a showing ASAP, and he made it happen the same day to our astonishment! He was honest and I always felt like I had an advocate on our side during the showings and during the buying process. He was always reachable by phone, text or email. During the inspection process, there was a potential issue with the piping and tommy knew exactly who to call to come out and take a look and the plumber was there within 24 hours. It is examples like this that make me feel extremely satisfied with the entire process and in choosing Tommy. I would without question recommend tommy to my friends and family when buying a home he was exrremenyl thoufhtful after our closing and gave us a very nice gift card to a local establishment near our new house. Hogan associates-you have a very special broken working for you and you should be very proud!!
