My wife and I tried unsuccessfully to buy our first house for over a year. We are now proud homeowners and owe it to Tom. He guided us through the process, answered endless questions, pushed us when we needed it, and expertly negotiated on our behalf. He set us up with a fantastic lender who exceeded our expectations and was able to get us a first time homebuyer credit that no other lender mentioned. Tom helped us find houses before they came available and made sure we were first in the door when they went on market. He set us up with an outstanding home inspector that taught us what to look for in our new home. Finally, thanks to Tom we closed on a great house in one of our target neighborhoods for $25k less than asking, plus negotiated several thousand of seller credits. We feel like we are able to create immediate equity with our home. Tom, and the rest of the team, have all assured us that we can call them with any questions anytime, and we have full confidence that they mean it. For anyone looking for a home in the DMV, I highly recommend giving Tom a call.

It was very easy to work with Tom and he helped my husband and I get the home we wanted in the location we wanted in a really tough market at a fair price! He took the time to learn our needs and responded quickly to any and all questions (and I had many!). He knows the market well, is great at explaining all the options with pros/cons, and is skilled at communicating with the sellers. He walked us through every part of the process and made sure everything went smoothly. I'd buy or sell a house through him again and would recommend him to my friends & family.

Sterling, VA 2022Dedicated, Researched, and Seasoned: Tom Bauer of Deb Frank Homes, Inc. was just amazing! Where it takes days to hear back from realtors, he has responded within minutes!

Tom Bauer is a great realtor, he is always polite, courteous, and knows his business. He’s good at getting back to you in a timely manner. He was very knowledgeable about the process and was a great resource. He offered his opinion when we asked and helped us to consider things we hadn’t thought of. He really cares about his clients and their needs when it comes to helping them find a home. He has a thorough knowledge of his job, communicates effectively and is a pleasure to work with.

We appreciate your help so much! You’re the first on my contacts list the next time I purchase or sell! We’ll reach out to Tom, in the future and we recommend him to all my friends and family!

We had been searching for a home for the last 1 year and could not close due to market competitiveness. Tom's expertise and experience helped us close our house with a very good deal and in just under 3 months after we started working with him.

Tom is extremely professional, he knows the market well and has a very good foresight. Also, he is very flexible in scheduling appointments. Tom is always available and patient to answer all our queries. Above all, Tom works by the principal that "if you are not comfortable with a particular house, let's keep on looking"

This is our first home purchase, having Tom as our realtor was nothing short of excellent! He is always friendly, honest, and never stopped trying until we got the home we now LOVE. He's super responsive! Tom somehow diminished most of the normal anxieties, fears, stress that comes with buying a home. He would tell us when to worry and when not to worry. I have recommended him highly to everyone!

Tom was the Realtor for my wife and I during our first home purchase. It was a very competitive and stressful process, however Tom did a superior job of helping us through it. We could not be happier with our experience and would highly recommend him.

Tom was great to work with! Very patient as I toured tons of homes and weighed pros/cons of houses, neighborhoods and schools with him! And once I settled on a house, he helped me determine an escalation amount (very competitive market here) and I finally found a new home for myself and my daughter. Everything during the closing phase went smoothly - no issues.

Tom helped both sell our home and buy our new one, and we couldn't recommend him highly enough! Our past experiences with realtors had been filled with non-responsiveness, insistence on homes we didn't want to consider, and a lack of transparency. We had none of those issues with Tom! He was quick to point out potential issues with homes, had a list of great contractors to work with, was always on-time and quick to respond, and was a fantastic negotiator. We'll no doubt call Tom if we need to move in the future.

Tom was excellent to work with and very timely in his responses. He helped us find our dream home and artfully negotiated the sale and contingencies on our purchase.
