WORK WITH TOMSON BURNHAM
ABOUT US
Salem Oregon real estate agents at Tomson Burnham
In an industry where being large is coveted, I am intentionally small. Tired of watching brokerages be in the business of hiring agents rather than the business of serving customers, I realized that I needed to run my brokerage differently than other companies.
Armed with a vision, I launched Tomson Burnham, LLC in 2007. My vision: To have a brokerage representing only excellence in real estate representation to consumers. A true real estate brand in which a consumer can hire any agent at the firm and get nothing but excellence. To fully embrace the words real estate advisors and redefine what hiring a real estate agent means to consumers.
I won’t make claims that I am the largest brokerage in the area because I’m not, by choice. I won’t claim that I have the most agents in town because I don’t, by choice. What I will claim is that I aspire to be the best and insist that the agents at my company set this same standard for themselves. Any agent at my company has to commit to standards of service. Consumers want real estate advisors: real guidance in the transaction.
No scripts or slick sales pitches are used, just genuine, good representation. Consumers want good quality and effective marketing for the sale of their home. Consumers want more advice on a home purchase than “here is the kitchen.” They want a proven track record of quality. We provide all of this to our clients.
We were so grateful to have Kyle’s guidance and assistance throughout the home buying process. His knowledge of the local market - historic homes in particular - was invaluable! Between being a challenging market and also new to Oregon, there were so many opportunities for us to make expensive mistakes - but Kyle was always diligent in his research and forthright in his advice. We felt confident having him represent our interests throughout the process. He recommended excellent professionals to do our inspections and handle repairs prior to our closing. Kyle was a good communicator at every stage of the process. I would definitely recommend working with Tomson Burham. We found the perfect home for us and believe this team saved us money in a tricky market. #TeamTomsonBurnham
Kyle Tomson provided us with exception assistance in the sale of our Salem home. His communication was excellent, and frequent, and he was good at providing education around the real estate market and the sale process. He assisted in finding contractors to correct some things from a pre-inspection report and was present for the repairs when possible. Additionally, since we were already moved out of Salem at the time of the house sale, he was conscientious in monitoring the property and even switching the house from AC to heat when the season changed. Our house sale was prompted by our move out of state. We had no contacts in the area where we were moving, and Kyle researched the area and located the perfect realtor to help with the purchase of our house in New Mexico. This was above and beyond and a wonderful service to us. We have used Tomson Burnham for the purchase of and sale of two properties in Salem. They are exceedingly courteous, quick in their replies to emails or calls, honest in their information and in short the best realty company in Marion County in our estimation. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone needing to buy a home in the Salem area.
Kyle helped us buy our first house. He thoroughly answered questions, and was always easy to reach when needed. He's knowledgeable and was actively involved throughout the entire process. We were very happy with his service and would definitely work with him again.
Kyle was amazing throughout our whole home buying process. My fiancé and I were first time home buyers and knew next to nothing about what to expect. Kyle talked us through every step. We knew what every term and bit of paperwork meant before we even thought about signing. Without Kyle, we wouldn’t have been even 1/10th of confident that we were when buying our house. My fiancé and I also have conflicting work schedules so that only left us one day a week where we could both view houses. Kyle was awesome with working with our schedule and packing that one day with houses for us to view. Even going as far to view the houses for us and do a video walkthrough when we couldn’t make it. He was always available for questions and constantly gave us updates during offer negotiations. Kyle made sure that we weren’t just buying a home that would work for us but that would also be a good investment and would hold value in the future. He looked out for us every step of the way. I cannot recommend Kyle enough. We also met and worked with Melina on one occasion when Kyle was out of town and she was amazing as well! You cannot go wrong with this company. Will recommend to all our friends and family!
As first-time home buyers, my wife and I were looking for a realtor with experience and knowledge of the Salem area and market. We came across Kyle from Tomson Burnham and were blown away by his expertise and ambition throughout the entire process. Kyle went above and beyond for us time and time again, from securing contractors to attending inspections and walk-throughs, to checking in with our lending process to ensure a smooth sale. His dedication and hard work helped us find our dream home sooner than we anticipated. Kyle's expertise in home renovation and knowledge about home defects and repairs was very helpful, and he saved us from buying a few homes that needed more work than we were prepared to handle. He also thoroughly investigated each potential property we considered for flood plains, schools, crime, and more, which gave us confidence in our final decision. What stood out to us most about Kyle was how much he truly cared about our best interests. He listened carefully to our wants and needs for our first home, and his recommendations were always tailored to what we were looking for. He suggested reputable lenders based on our needs and has great relationships with home inspectors and contractors in Salem. Throughout the process, Kyle's communication skills were excellent. He was always fast to handle documentation and research and provided regular updates and check-ins to keep us informed and confident in the process. At no time did we ever feel pressured or rushed. Overall, we are thrilled with our experience with Kyle from Tomson Burnham. He exceeded all our expectations and made our first home buying experience a smooth and enjoyable one. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a home around Salem.
