About Me

Buying or selling Real Estate can be an emotional endeavor for anyone.   My expertise simplifies the process, allowing for my clients to concentrate on the home itself.  My knowledge of real estate and the Omaha Metro area with make you feel right at home as transfer from outside the Omaha Metro area, first time buyer/seller, investor or looking to help family/friends out.                 

My “client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and develop new ways of doing business.  In addition, I have found that the latest technologies enable me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients. I really enjoy my field and the contacts I have made in my 26  years of service.  Not only do I have training and experience in the existing home buyer, selling my clients homes, I also have 14 years experience in New Construction.

That said, in my experience as a Real Estate Professional, I've found that providing the very best service is essentially about "Putting my clients first". This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to the client’s needs.

Tom was wonderful to work with. He took the pressure off of us and took care of everything. When he came to our house the first time, he had a professional portfolio of comps in our neighborhood and explained everything thoroughly. Once our house hit the market things moved fast. Tom has a great sense about people and is able to take out a lot of the home selling stress. He stepped in and took over scheduling our house showings when requests kept coming in, told us not to worry . Once the offers started coming in, he clearly explained which offers would be good for us based on things we would have never even thought of. Tom took the stress out of selling our house, any issues that came up during closing he also took care. We never felt unsure or stressed during this process, right away we felt confident in Tom and he didn't disappoint. Even though our new house wasn't bought through Tom, he still offered to help in anyway (finding contractors for us etc.). Truly is a genuine and caring man, who will get the job done.

Tom helped us find a home while we were still living out of state. In a competitive market, this was not easy considering our circumstances. We were first time home buyers, just had our first child & stressed to the max. Tom had tons of resources and connections that ultimately helped us end up with a home when we felt like it was never going to happen. Tom found us the perfect starter home for our family.

He has decades of experience that is extremely helpful through the buying and selling process. One last thing that really impressed me is that Tom is extremely available and is in constant contact with you. I appreciated that he always followed up and never let anything fall through the cracks. We love our new house and couldn’t have done without Tom!

Tom is the best! We are currently living in Texas and he made the process to sell our Plattsmouth house from afar smooth and easy…we didn’t have to lift a finger! If we move back to Omaha, we will always go with Tom as our realtor. Highly recommend!

He did a great job helping us buy our home in 2018, and then a wonderful job selling the same home in 2021. Tom went above and beyond what we expect from our agent. He was always available late by phone or text which was helpful for those late night offer discussions. I highly recommend Tom if buying or selling a home in the area. If I move back to town he will be one of the first calls I make.

Tom did a 5 star job. Our house was built in 2006 and has really had no updates, and it's been a rental to 5 couples over the last 12 years. Tom got us everything we wanted in house value and did it professionally. We didn't exactly make it easy on Tom, given the rough shape of the house, no property manager and us living in Minnesota. He replaced lightbulbs, got estimates on carpet/paint and scheduled and reviewed the work done by the workers. He set up the sprinklers to be turned on and inspected, he got someone to fix the front door, personally cleaned up surfaces before inspection, replaced carbon monoxide detectors, replaced well over a dozen light bulbs, and found and installed gutter extensions. I'm sure I left out some details, but you get the point. He went above and beyond the normal realtor function and saved me time and headache of trying to figure this out on my own living two states away. I'd recommend Tom to anyone selling or buying a home in this area.

Thank you for helping us find our dream home! Jeff and I felt that you exceeded our expectations. We were anxious about relocating from South Carolina but we found you to be an excellent real estate agent and very knowledgeable about the Omaha market. We appreciated how efficient you were in lining up showings as we only had a short amount of time to search for a home. Once we found the home we liked, we were very comfortable with the buying process as you always walked us through every step, kept us in the loop, and worked hard to negotiate the best possible price. We really felt you had our best interest at heart and we could not be happier with the outcome. We would highly recommend you to anyone selling or purchasing a home. Thanks again for all your efforts.

Tom was great to work with when my family and I were purchasing a new house as part of relocating to Omaha. He accommodated our schedule when we were flying in repeatedly to see houses over a period of a couple of months. Was always a strong advocate looking out for us and pointing out things that we might have missed. A keen eye, a great talent for discerning what the right house is, very easygoing and helpful with things beyond just the real estate (for example, he suggested multiple places to take my 8 year old son that were great). I can highly recommend Tom and will use him in the future if I have need of any real estate services. Hope that works for you. Please feel free to edit grammar as needed. Thanks Ryan

I relocated for a job opportunity in Omaha in 2009. Tom Smith came highly recommended as my agent and he lived up to the recommendation. He took the time to understand my family's needs, what type of home, area and living environment that would make the family happy. He also took the time to familiarize us with Omaha, recreational areas (that applied to our interests) and helped us to get to know how to get around the city. Beyond all this Tom went above and beyond when it came to inspections and closing. As a matter of fact when we went to close on our now home, due to a misunderstanding in the closing paperwork we almost did not close that day and would have had to reset a time for both us and the sellers. Tom took the bull by the horns and we drove 2 hours to St. Joseph to meet my wife who drove up from Kansas City, found a notary public and closed on our house deal.. You can't ask for more.. R.

Kat and I really appreciate everything you have done to help us chose such a wonderful house. We love our house and this has made our transition from Colorado to Nebraska a whole lot easier. We cannot say enough good things about our experience in working with you. You definitely went above and beyond our expectations. Tom Smith has far exceeded our expectations for a Real estate agent. Not only did he listen to our wants and needs but he took the initiative to make suggestions on what we should look for in a home that would add value. Tom didn’t pressure us into the high end of our budget, as a matter of fact, he found the house we were looking for at a price that was under budget! He was very knowledgeable on not only locations best suited for our family but also on the local construction industry. He kept in touch with us throughout the whole ordeal and was very candid and honest. He gave us pointers on how to acclimate not only to Omaha but also our children to the schools. Even after our close date, he called a week later to make sure we got settled in okay. Tom didn’t just find and sell us a house; he became a friend of the family. Patrick C

As retirees, we decided to downsize. Tom helped us stage our home, set a fair price and sold it much quicker than we anticipated. His experience showed in every aspect of our transition. He kept us on track and belayed our anxiety due to one home sold and the new home yet to be found. He negotiated hard on our choice for the new home and easily kept several balls in the air through the tightly timed closing process on both homes. Tom is truly hard working, experienced and loyal to his customers and we heartily recommend his services.

Tom’s realtor skills come with our highest recommendations."

My name is Betty T. and Tom Smith sold my home in northwest Omaha two years ago. Tom, an agent for NP Dodge, made some very helpful recommendations that I followed through with and my home was sold. I learned that I had cancer just as I sold my home. Tom has been very caring and supportive during my treatment and recovery with phone calls and even taking me to lunch. I have recommended Tom to several friends who expressed a need for a real estate agent to sell their home. I believe Tom Smith would be excellent for any position he seeks.

We relocated from Texas to Omaha for a position with a local employer. My employer had Tom give myself a tour of the area during the recruiting trip. Tom also went above and beyond by taking my wife and mother in law on a separate tour. Tom did an excellent job representing Omaha and the surrounding areas. His knowledge and advice was very valuable in making our decision to come to Omaha. We had several false starts while house hunting and Tom expertly navigated us through the process. When we did find a home, Tom was with us every step of the way through closing. He also provided excellent advice after closing on local providers for services we needed. I would recommend using Tom and will be using him again in the future when I need a realtor

An investment that big can be overwhelming but not with Tom. We felt lucky having such a knowledgeable agent working with us as we made this huge decision.

Tom couldn't have made buying a home an easier experience. My fiance and I requested to start looking at homes in a certain area and he was able to find us a handful of houses that met our criteria and within our price range in a short amount of time. Within a week we found a house we wanted to put an offer on. He worked odd hours (due to time zone differences with the current owners) to make sure that our offer / counter offers were communicated in a timely manner to get the deal done quick! He always had our needs in mind when adding inclusions into the offers and sat down with us with every counteroffer to walk us through what would and wouldn't be included (definitely helpful since we were both first time homebuyers!). We were able to walk away with the house of our dreams for us and our kids in a short amount of time and completely stress and hassle free! Thanks Tom!! I don't think I would of found another relator with the professionalism and personality to make you feel like you are his most important customer.

He has gone above and beyond what a Realtor should be. He has held our hands through our new endeavors in Omaha (housing market) and guided us through what is recommended or not. His expertise in the market, experience and knowledge makes him an ideal Realtor for any new buyers or anyone needing to purchase or sell a property. I'm very pleased with his professionalism and vast knowledge in his field. My family and I consider ourselves lucky to have found him. To this day almost two years later he calls every now and then to check up on us and see if we are content and anything else that we may need. On a five-star scale I would give him 10 stars.
