We cannot say enough about what a great service Tom Hickey offered to us. Having known him for so many years, we trusted him completely with every aspect of the sale of our home. He knew we were under a short timeline to get our home sold and assured us it would happen and for us not to worry. He was always very responsive to our calls and texts, and communicated to us every aspect of the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home as well. We were even on vacation when our home sold, and he kept us in the loop all the way through. We appreciated that he was always so positive and encouraging. He is a real asset to Cressy and Everett. We are truly appreciative of all he has done for us to see us through this big life event.

Tom Hickey lll was professional and helpful in the marketing/selling of my parent's home in Granger. At the beginning Tom was willing to offer an estimate of the property value without being able to enter the home. Once Tom became the listing agent, he went above and beyond helping guide me through all that was necessary to put the home on the market. Subsequently, Tom helped in many ways once offers and the closing took place. Communication was excellent and timely. Due to all the above, I would recommend Tom as an agent.

Tom Hickey was Outstanding! Tom is extremely knowledgeable about area, local housing, and all aspects of the process.

Tom Hickey III was the perfect agent for us. Patient, kind, knowledgeable, accountable. A consummate professional at all times. He was honest with us and able to set realistic expectations. He was never pushy or aggressive. We would definitely recommend Tom to our friends.

Tom worked closely with us to find the right Buyers for our unique property. The property required numerous updates and repairs and Tom provided a team of qualified licensed contractors to quickly and cost effectively remediate these issues. He was available to respond to questions and issues and is a great communicator. He is a pleasure to work with and makes your interests as a Seller his top priority.

Tom was 100% on target and could not have done anything differently. A across the board!

Excellent experience once again. I can't thank Tom Hickey enough for helping me through this process. After the death of my father I felt overwhelmed with selling his home. Tom was always attentive and easy to reach, answered every question with experience and compassion. The house sold quickly and I am so relieved and thankful for the help. Buying or selling (I've now done both with Tom) I HIGHLY recommend.

He is the best agent we have ever had ! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home.

Tom was very easy to work with, he knew what I wanted to do and executed the sale. I felt he was watching out for my best interest with his wording of the contract and timing of closing. Tom was open with costs and made the process go very smoothly. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone with real estate needs. Tom is a pleasure to work with, knowledgable of the area, and gets the job done.

Can't thank Tom Hickey enough! Such a resource to my family, not just his real estate expertise, but lake life insights were vital to finding the right property for all of us. Highest recommendation! Tom had his hands full navigating different needs and perspectives of our family members! We rarely agree, but we all agree that Tom is the best!

I can't imagine any agent doing more in all aspects of the searching and buying process than Tom, especially during COVID, and buying a home from 2 hours away. Tom would walk through many homes via FaceTime. Talk to agents to get information and documents. Help me understand the documents. Recommend next steps. Offer terms. Nuances. I could go on and on. Besides a great agent, he is simply just a great person. I was actually sad to have closed because that meant I would not be communicating with him. He became like family to us.

We would highly recommend Tom Hickey lll . He was our realtor three years ago in the purchase of a property, and recently handled the sale of our condo and purchase of our new home. His trustworthiness, expertise, availability, kindness, and guidance were so valuable to us. He truly made the process as painless as possible.

Tom was amazing overall and well informed when it came to the process of selling my property. He went above and beyond all expectations. The property sold quickly and the process was smooth.

Tom is a personal friend and knew my mom and dad, so I trusted him in selling my mom's house.

Tom was excellent. We've moved several times and not one of our Real Estate agents measures up to Tom. I will highly recommend him to anyone seeking an agent.

Many homes in the area looked good on paper and in photos, but upon viewing didn't work out for various reasons. Tom kept telling us to be patient and that we'll find the right home, and we did. Our "new" residence ultimately checked all the boxes and we couldn't be happier in our new home and neighborhood. We hadn't purchased a home in 30 years and we were extremely thankful that Tom was patient with us during the process. Being from the Chicago area, Tom checked on listings when we couldn't come into South Bend and worked hard to get us multiple showings when we did come into town. We were impressed when he referred to his clients as his families, not clients. Once we made and negotiated an offer, Tom arranged the multiple required inspections with highly qualified companies. This reduced our stress level considerably.

Very knowledgeable and excellent realtor.

Tom was great. He took care of everything. When there was a bump in the process he smoothed it over. I got the full asking price for my home in two weeks and I believe it was do the the excellent work by Tom.

Tom Hickey III was always available, responsive, and helpful. He always followed through on what he said he would do. And, because of his knowledge of the local area, was able to provide advice on things difficult to handle from a distance, for instance, finding local tradespeople, zoning issues, or where to find a local charitable group that would take unneeded furnishings and household goods. I would recommend Tom highly to others.

Great Job Tom

Tom Hickey knows the area and his knowledge of the market was invaluable. He kept us informed all along the way. His suggestions on how to present our property were very helpful and aided in the sale. His marketing was great!! The closing was flawless and went off without a hitch! Thanks Tom!

All of our dealings with Tom Hickey lll have been extremely professional. His advice and knowledge were invaluable. He handled all the details of selling our home from the day we signed on to the day we closed.

Tom was an excellent agent representing Cressy & Everett. Tom was very flexible with our schedule and often previewed a property prior to showing it to us, or meeting us on short notice. Tom was very patient and supportive of our needs in looking for a home.

Tom's understanding of the local market dynamics was critical for us, given our lack of market knowledge. He was a great advocate for us and spent the time to educate me and my wife on the market. Tom was a strong negotiator and helped us get the value we were looking for on our property on Magician. Tom's experience and integrity really came through from the beginning, as he helped talk us through what our family would value in a lake property. He brought great perspective as he understood our lifestyle and helped us think through and visit different properties in the region. He's someone I trust implicitly as an advisor in real estate.

Tom was extremely knowledgeable, prompt, helpful and patience. Couldn’t Have asked for a better experience!

1St. Tom took time to personally get to know the property and my circumstances and when the sale hit a snag Tom found a solution that was a win/win for both buyer and seller. He helped the agent on the other side keep the buyer informed for the details of the sale plus he was excellent in keeping emotions at bay until all the delays were behind us.

Tom was a fantastic guide and resource throughout our purchasing process. Tom has a great way about him in that he truly wants to help buyers find the right property for their needs and not just looking to make a sale. Tom consistently was available for my wife and I and certainly exceeded our expectations.

Tom sold a house for us earlier in the year and we were completely satisfied. Tom has now sold two homes for us this year and he has been professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful in all steps of selling our home. We would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone selling their home.
