" We would recommend Tom Murel to anyone looking to purchase or sell their homes. He is friendly, professional, up front, very available, and goes beyond the expectations of a realtor. His recommendations are sound. He took our search filters seriously. We felt valued and were always treated as though he had all the time in the world for us. We hope to see him and Becky around town. "- Sarah

" We worked with Tom to get our house sold in Cary. Tom was very easy to work with and got the house sold much faster than we thought we could. He did a great job of providing us advice on what items to update in the house to help it move faster and helped line us up with help to get the tasks done. He hosted multiple open houses and had solid traffic coming through our house until it got sold. We enjoyed working with him and believe he provided great service! " - Rob

" We have been considering putting our house of 23 years on the market to move closer to our girls and the grandchildren living in Cary, NC for quite some time. We were over at our daughter’s house one Sunday and a house in her neighborhood was having an open house. My daughter convinced me to go look at it for fun. This is where we first met Tom. My daughter was so impressed with his professionalism and the attention he gave to each person that came into the open house that she nudged me into reaching out to him to discuss our options. Tom is exceptional at his job. We lived an hour away from Cary but he did not hesitate to help us develop a plan to sell our house and to look at many options for homes in Cary/Apex. He toured our home and gave us a “to do” list to get it market ready. He inspected it after the work was done and then gave us several options for placing our home on the market and provided us with a compressive comparison of the current market. He listened to our wish for a specific price point and helped us develop a plan to move forward with that price, explaining what types of situations would trigger considering lowering the price. The COVID-19 pandemic hit in the middle of our preparations and Tom monitored the market carefully and timed our listing strategically. The detail he put into prepping our house for the first show was phenomenal. Our house was listed on May 22, 2020, at 9:00 am and we received an offer at 5pm that day 5K over the asking price. Once we accepted the offer he described the next steps, inspections, appraisals and the negotiations that follow. He helped us to strategically respond to these reports. It was a stressful time but Tom was always available and ready to problem solve any last minutes issues that arose. I give Tom the highest possible rating and would recommend him unequivocally to anyone wanting to buy or sell. It is more of a stressful process than you would think and we were thankful Tom was there to guide us. " - Suzanne

" In the search for a house in the Cary area, we went through several real estate agents. They were either too pushy, or weren't listening to what we were looking for. Tom Murel, very patiently, showed us houses for over a year and a half, always listening to what we were looking for and never once pushed us towards a decision. We were so impressed with him and his knowledge, that even though we bought a For-Sale-By-Owner, we involved Tom for his expertise in the process. Could we have saved some fees in doing it ourselves? Sure, but Tom had earned our trust, and we wanted to ensure it was done right. We can be so much more reassured in our dream home because of Tom's knowledge, patience, and ability to really listen to us. Without a doubt, it was the most positive relationship we've ever experienced with a realtor. " - Charles

" Tom did a great job helping us buy our new (116 years old) house. He made himself available any time we needed him, he always responded promptly to communications, he got different contractors lined up when we needed them. Tom Murel is a great Agent to work with and is a very upstanding man. I will refer anyone who asks to Tom. " - Seth

" We met Tom while house hunting and ended up working with him through the process of both buying new home and selling our previous one. Tom demonstrated all of the qualities we were looking for. He was knowledgeable of our area, hard-working, prompt to reply, patient, and respectful of my family's time and wishes. When we were getting ready to sell our house Tom did a huge amount of work to handle coordinating all of the required repairs and upgrades. He was highly communicative and handled all the things that I just couldn't make time for given my busy schedule. Tom made the process of moving as easy as it could be and we would work with him in the future without hesitation. " - Peter

" We have been Tom's client on both sides of real estate - purchasing and selling. Can't say enough about his great attitude, thoroughness, and assistance in negotiating to help "close the deal". He is a pleasure to work with and you'll be happy to have him as your agent! " - Julia

" Tom has been an absolute pleasure to work with. We reached out to him from Phoenix, AZ to try and get help on our move to the Raleigh area. We needed someone we could trust to give us the information as he saw it since we were buying the house while in AZ without ever stepping foot in it first (other than the walkthrough prior to closing). Tom was extremely honest throughout the entire process and gave us very good advice on good areas to live in and helped us avoid the bad ones. He facetimed with me on each home tour and gave me it to me straight on what he encountered. In some of the homes we toured, the roof was low or there were other gotchas and Tom helped us to stay clear of any mishaps. He helped us find the perfect house in Apex for what we were looking for. He then helped us every step of the way from documents, to inspections to finally closing. Tom was easy to work with and even was with us when the Seller basically didn’t get out of our new home and did everything he could to make it right for us. Tom is a commendable person and was the perfect person to help us on this purchase. We don’t think we would have done as well as we did if we had anyone else as a realtor. We truly appreciate Tom for all of his hard work and dedication in making this as painless of a process as possible. We had to place a tremendous amount of trust in him during this process, and man are we glad we did. " - Daniel
