Tom was great to work with; he made things go very smooth and easy.

Very polite, knowledgeable and responsible agent . Tom worked hard to find the perfect home for us. I like the fact that his whole family works together to help. Essentially, you get a whole team of agents working for you. Great family dynamics !

With a tight timeline to close on the home in time, Tom kept the process moving and we successfully closed on schedule. Tom was very helpful with his knowledge of septic systems and wells, which we had never had before. I highly recommend anyone looking to sell or buy a house to work with Tom Ott!

Experiance is the key to buying or selling any home! Tom will help you navigate the whole process from professionally listing the property, preparing to sell, showing your home, to getting buyers through your doors! And most important being objective when negotiating for you. We were very lucky to get Tom! Not only has he helped us successfully he has helped several of our family members!

We selected Tom based on family reputation. He also provided us with: Professional closing of two of our properties. He was very Tech Savvy-Reaching out to prospective buyers. Old Realtor Feel-Provided us multiple choices that fit our criteria that we could weed out in the comfort of our home then facilitated showings of prospective properties allowing us to view them up close. He picked us up in a comfortable vehicle, escorted us to the properties of our choice and provided 30 plus years of experience. He assisted us in making good choices and preparing a professional offer that was accepted. Tom Ott and family are everything you want in the real-estate arena.

Tom, was very helpful with the sale of the house, went on the market one day sold the next. We had a few issues with the buyer, Tom got on the issues right away and fixed them. He got back to me right away when I left phone messages, and made a difficult closing look easy.

Tom is a true professional. We are a very busy family of five, so normal hours in the day just don't exist. He showed us houses in all hours of the day and night. He was very honest and patient with us and in the end he found us a true gem at a great price. The entire process was smooth and painless. He even helped us find a renter for our other property. If you're looking for a realtor that will treat you like neighbor or friend and not a piece of commission, then Tom is your guy. Tom Ott is our realtor and I couldn't even imagine using anybody else.

Tom has helped us buy and sell several family homes over the years, and I have found Tom and his team to be topnotch! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate professional.

Kept us involved during the whole home buying process. Listened to what we wanted not what he wanted. He had plenty of knowledge in all styles and sizes of homes.

We have purchased three houses from him. We have sold three houses with him. My parents and children have purchased houses from him. We have worked with his since 1986. We enjoy his expertise and help.

Tom is honest and interested in what you want and not what he thinks you need like some Realtors. I am not sure I need to say any more but Zillow requires 150 characters so I can also say that Tom gets very involved in city and surrounding area activities and the Otts have been in the area a long time and know the area well.

Tom Ott is a very knowledgeable and extremely personable real estate agent. I would recommend him whole heartedly. He has not only helped me buy and sell a house, but has also helped some of my family as well.

Tom really gets to know his clients and his clients needs/wishes when both selling and buying. We had an exceptional experience with Tom going through the transition between homes. He was able to sell our existing house in 11 days back in 2009 when the housing market was a mess and find us the perfect home. My wife and I got to know Tom during the home purchase/sell and after. We consider him a friend.

Tom was great to work with! He was always honest and quick to respond to questions and concerns. He gave us advice on next steps to make us comfortable on the entire process.

From the beginning to the end Tom was always prompt in calling us, and the whole process was very smooth. He was friendly , had many good suggestions for getting our home ready for showing. I would recommend Tom to anyone wanting a great agent to sell their home.

This is the second home that Tom has sold for us in the last 2.5 years, and both of our experiences with Tom were excellent! He knowledge of current real estate trends and changes is unrivaled. We relied on his expertise and it paid off: We sold our last home in 5 days! Tom also helped us purchase our last two two homes and we really appreciated (and enjoyed) his enthusiasm during that process. His insight and advice helped us find the house of our dreams. We (also) consider Tom and his wife Pam friends.

Tom was extremely helpful in getting our home sold, especially during a very tough economic climate at that time. He knows the Cottage Grove area better than anyone.

I've worked with Tom on a couple of occasions in terms of both selling and purchasing homes, and would highly recommend his services. Excellent industry knowledge, great follow up, and always available in times of need.

I was looking on zillow as I often did, dreaming of having our own house and no longer renting. I messaged the realtor for a house listed. Tom called me shortly after. I had no idea what I was doing, he was patient and answered my many questions. He directed me to a broker he works with often in order to start taking the steps needed for preapproval. This was the summer of 2015. I had to touch up my husband's credit a bit and the broker was very helpful in guiding me with that over the next few months. We were preapproved early in 2016. Every house online we even had a slight interest seemed to have accepted offers/ pending sale. Tom immediately had an available house to show us and we LOVED it. I am writing this review sitting in the living room, we closed June of 2016. Beginning to end Tom was wonderful, and very thoughtful afterwards even to stop with a house warming gift and later mailing a Christmas card. I am very grateful that the first person I came across in our home buying process was Tom Ott.

Tom is very detailed, and makes sure he has the appropriate information upfront when selling your house. He was able to sell our house on the second day on the market and closed the following month. He also is very familiar with the current market trends and provided the appropriate pricing strategy to sell our home.

With a tight timeline to close on the home in time, Tom kept the process moving and we successfully closed on schedule. Tom was very helpful with his knowledge of septic systems and wells, which we had never had before. I highly recommend anyone looking to sell or buy a house to work with Tom Ott!

Tom Ott was very helpful and professional in acquiring our new home. We are so grateful that everything worked out in the transition. We would recommend Tom Ott to anyone looking to find their new dream home.
