Tom Gonsalves – Gonsalves Real Estate Properties

The BEST! I was extremely impressed with the expertise, knowledge and help that I received from Gonsalves Real Estate! As a first time home buyer, I had a ton of questions and fears going into this adventure! Tom and Meredith were always there to offer guidance and explanations whether that was via email, text, phone call or even a sit down meeting when I just needed to «talk face to face!» I appreciated Tom’s wisdom and his frank answers to my questions along the way. Meredith’s warmth and kindness were refreshing and made every dealing I had with her enjoyable. Looking back at my whole experience, probably the aspect I am most grateful for is Tom’s ability to truly listen to my thoughts and concerns. He did not have a cookie cutter mentality to every transaction and was willing to alter our game plan in our negotiation process. I felt my opinions and ideas were heard and valued! He ended up negotiating an excellent deal, and I continue to feel the highest level of satisfaction for him and his team! Thank you, thank you to Tom, Meredith and everyone at Gonsalves Real Estate! And not only do they get the job done, they are super fun to work with too! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

I was impressed with Tom’s professionalism and knowledge. Tom helped me market my home and made sure the process went as smoothly as possible. Tom and his team are wonderful to work with and made sure to keep me notified throughout the process of selling my home. Tom made sure the negotiations were always fair and timely. He made sure to help me take steps in preparing my home for sell. Tom is dedicated to his craft and of course his smile puts you at ease even when things become challenging. Meredith is a joy to not only work with but talk with. Tom made sure my home was prepared and represented in the best way. I couldn’t have been happier in my choice to work with Tom. I would highly recommend him to family, friends and associates. Thank you!!!

We live in the Bay Area but needed to sell a property in East Sacramento. We called Tom while we were in town for a week. He spoke with us right away, and he and his team came to see the property first thing the next morning. They advised us on steps to take to prepare the property for sale, connected us with great folks to do the work we needed (painting, staging, and cleaning), and within a week and a half the property was ready to go on the market. Tom and his team continued to advise us through the rest of the sale process, and we had a buyer in under a month at a good price point. Thank you Tom, Meredith and the rest of the team!

Thanks Tom for making this deal happen. It was a longer process than most and Tom hung in there and made the deal work for both myself and the homeowner. Tom and his assistant Meredith were awesome through the entire process.
Had it not been for these two the deal would have never happened. I’m so grateful for their expertise and dedication.
Thank you!

My Wife and I were looking to move her parents to Sacramento.
We talked to Tom, and we were looking at homes in a few days.
We found a house they liked, and the escrow closed within 45 days from the day we started looking.
Tom and Merideth are a great Team.

Adding on to the 5-​star reviews here. I had an absolutely miserable experience with recommended realtors when I moved from the East Coast to Sacramento — realtors who simply failed to show up at appointments, «forgot» to follow through on offers (which totaled 8!) or simply didn’t respond to inquiries, and another who made an admittedly «very big mistake» during an escrow period that ruined a deal five days before closing. No one could believe my bad luck. So I took a (big) chance on my own given all the 5-​star reviews for Tom and Meredith. (And I read every single one of them.) First offer in within a few weeks: accepted. After EIGHT tries. I only regret promptly handing them a difficult situation of purchasing a fixer upper from the Federal Government, but they’ll be the only realtors I’ll call on to list the ever-​elusive 2-​bedroom/​2-​bathroom, fully remodeled California Craftsman Bungalow in Land Park when I need to sell. So it should all work out in the end.

I met Tom about four years ago when we were both growing our businesses as young entrepreneurs. I knew one day Tom would be able to help me take the next step in investing in real estate. That time finally came and Tom and his team helped us deal with a very peculiar sellers agent and get us the house we wanted at a fair price! Thank you!

I connected with Tom and Meredith back in May of last year after seeing several of Tom’s signs scattered throughout the East Sacramento area. Because I was heart set on finding a home in that area, I decided to give him a call. What a great decision that turned out to be!
There is a common thread when reading all these great reviews. Tom and Meredith define awesome! These two are everything you could ask for when looking for a home. They are friendly, fun, professional, efficient, and most importantly knowledgable. I cannot say enough nice things about these two and how truely appreciative I am of them.
After 6 months of looking and countless homes toured, we finally did it! Thank you so much for your help. I look forward to running into you in the neighborhood!

Tom helped my husband and I close on our first home in November this year. I expected a grueling and painful process, but Tom made it everything but that. From the house hunting, to the loan process, to the offer negotiating, he was open and honest with everything. He made sure we understood each part of the process and knew exactly what we were getting into. When it comes to an investment like this, you can’t ask for more.
Thanks Tom for landing us our amazing first home!

Selling your home is hard and going through a divorce makes it even harder but Tom and his team were there for me every step of the way! I had a unique piece of property but Tom was able to find me the perfect buyer! I can’t say enough how wonderful I was treated and how much Tom did for me so I could considerate on my personal life. Meredith, his wonderful assistant, always replied to my questions, even the dumb ones LOL. LOVE TOM AND HIS TEAM!!!

We found Tom through Unilocal so it’s only appropriate that I post quick review. My wife and I recently purchased our first house thanks to Tom. Tom and Meredith were quick to respond to calls and texts, and were very accommodating to our busy schedules. I’m happy to call him «neighbor» and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Thank you Tom and Meredith for being so AWESOME at what you do!!! I definitely enjoying working with you — your knowledge, experience, efficiency is outstanding!
Thanks again for all your hard work !

Friendly and helpful, was willng to give me as inw tricks and tips. Even rhough he was not what we were looking for.

When we were looking for a real estate agent, efficiency was key. We wanted to work with someone who would work around our schedule (no easy feat), who was quick, to the point, with no time for BS. After speaking to a few other agents, we came across Gonsalves Real Estate Properties. Tom and his team quickly exceeded our expectations.
Our schedule was such that the only time we could look for property was early saturday morning, at some unholy hour. In spite of that, Meredith, his right hand and an awesome agent as well, was there for us, walking us through houses, chipper and happy, as if she had nothing better to do on a Saturday morning.
I don’t think i ever waited longer than 30 minutes for a return phone call or a return email. I know they are a pretty successful office, but I always felt like I was their only client… like they had all the time in the world to work with me.
Not only were they really easy to get a hold of, and willing to accommodate our obscene schedule, they were a down to earth, and fun team as well. I’d recommend their staff to anyone I knew who was looking for an agent.
On top of being a damn good real estate agent, he’s also deeply involved in our Sacramento community, sponsoring Pops in the Park. I like that sort of thing… It shows a commitment to the community at large… not just his business.

In short, Tom is the man!
He totally saved me when another realtor totally screwed me over. He got my house sold without even having it listed. He was able to do a pocket deal with a buyer he represented.
Thank you Tom!!!
I highly recommend him to anybody.

I have gone to a few open houses shown by Tom, and while we did not go with one of those, Tom was very professional and personable.

We have worked with Tom on several Real Estate transactions and he has always been great to work with! Customer service and great communication skills are just a few of the qualities that Tom takes pride in! If you’re looking into buying or selling a property in Sacramento California you should give Tom Gonsalves a call. Thanks Tom! We’ll see you on the next one!

Buying a house is a stressful process regardless of whether you’re a first time buyer or a seasoned veteran. I happened to be the former. When it came time to really start getting serious about buying, I knew that I whoever I was going to work with needed to be able to 1) make me laugh, 2) respond appropriately to any freak out emails or text messages that I would inevitably send at dinner time, and 3) (most importantly) make me feel confident about my choices. I admit that’s a tall order.
Tom and I clicked from the start. I came into his office for a meeting to discuss what I was looking for and within the next few days, we were off and running looking at homes. Don’t let his boyish charm fool you — with almost a decade of experience, he knows his stuff and is well connected in the Sacramento community (and beyond) and uses those relationships to help problem solve a situation. We had a tricky time trying to navigate through the world of the FHA 203K Renovation loan to finance the purchase but after a few phone calls the mystique of the scary reno loan wore off and the financing worked out perfectly.
Tom is a smart negotiator, an attribute that has been refined through the number of transactions he’s been a part of on both the buying and selling end. His advice during this negotiating phase was invaluable and after we talked, he always made me feel better about whatever decision I was about to make.
Tom is understands his clients. After the first few weeks of working together, he really had my song-​and-​dance down i.e. me sending knee jerk reaction emails or texts undoubtedly worried about a minute or obscure detail. But Tom displayed an amazing amount of patience in lightheartedly responding and giving me the straight talk to make me realize I was freaking out over nothing. His timing and humor were much appreciated to break up any tension or stress of the process — especially when it came time to sign on the dotted line. Tom was right there with me giving me water and oxygen and answering any last minute questions as I nervously signed all of my closing docs. Transactions manager Theresa and Executive Assistant Meredith are absolutely wonderful to work with also. Highly recommend the team at Gonsalves Real Estate Properties!

Tommy and I have been working together for over 4 years now as his preferred lender. I can honestly say that there is no other agent that can get you in contract or sell your house and get you top dollar as quickly as Tom. His methods of communication and interaction with clients are beyond any. If you are looking for a home to purchase or sell, do yourself a big favor and call Tom Gonsalves!

Don’t let his comfortable aloofness combined with his striking good looks fool you into thinking that Tom is too cool for school. When it comes to deal making, scrappy hustling, high level brokering, deal massaging, and creative solutions, Tom Gonsalves is the best in breed. He has a high level of energy and a thirst for his and your success. Work with Tom and everyone wins.
