“As out of town owners, we approached the sale of our condo with trepidation as far as dealing with any needed repairs, disposition of items, local vendors, utilities, etc. Tom, this was when your combination of thoroughness, integrity, and persistence came through for us with flying colors! You made the entire process stress-free because of your efforts that, in our mind, were way beyond the call of duty.” Mike Hyzdu

“Your follow up, attention to detail, honest advice and outstanding marketing efforts all contributed to an efficient, easy and pleasant experience. Selling a property long distance is not easy, but you made it so. Sure you do the big things needed to complete the sale and close, but it was the little things you did that impressed me the most." Robert M.

"I am most appreciative of the professional way you approached the sale of my condo. I had meetings scheduled with three other real estate agents. I was so impressed with your knowledge and preparation that I cancelled the appointments. I use many of the things you did for me and the spirit in which you did them, as illustrative service examples to emulate in our staff." Judith B.

“We considered ourselves very lucky to have sold our condo recently in ten days. However luck had nothing to do with it; our good fortune was your agent Mr. Tom Ward who gave us realistic, conservative advice for marketing the property. His competent air put us at ease immediately. Probably the reason the West was won!” Bruce and Rosemarie K.

We used Tom to purchase a townhouse in Park City. It was a unique purchase for us, as we were almost 1500 miles away and bought the place basically sight-unseen. Tom was superb to work with, especially in this unique situation. He helped us understand the market, put us in contact with key resources from financing to inspection to plumbers to handyman services. He even helped with furniture delivery! Tom was direct and responsive in all aspects of the purchase. When we finally got to town to view the property in person, he was patient with us, coming by multiple times to open up the condo for us and our friends. Honestly, this was a large and somewhat scary purchase for us. Tom was instrumental in helping this dream become a reality. K. Poole - Yelp and Google reviews

with Tom when we sold our house recently. His
knowledge of the market really made a difference in
setting the price. He was very helpful in getting our
property ready for sale and accommodated our schedule

sense of integrity in working with both us and our buyers.

Prior to listing he helped us determine needed upgrades & repairs, took care of all communications, and helped us locate handymen and vendors to assist.

“Tom Ward is an amazing realtor! My husband and I bought and sold 8 properties with his help. He is easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable and VERY honest. Tom knows the market and the town. On the recent sale we were out of town. We didn’t even have to think about the sale, and it sold fast. I would not trust my future purchases or sales to anyone else.” M Togstad - Google review
"After an unsatisfactory listing experience Tom came to us from two distinct groups of friends who recommended him. He is well respected in the community and has a wide professional network. Tom sold our home of 20 years with tremendous skill and attention to detail. He was an excellent “closer” and worked through a difficult deal. Tom was always available, very personable and instilled confidence in us and the out of state buyer. We have and will continue to recommend Tom and Layla Ward to others." George and Melinda Milne

“I had been trying to sell a property in Summit County for years. It had a few issues that made it difficult to sell, but Tom resolved them, knew exactly how to market the property, and had the right touch with potential buyers. Whereas other realtors packed it in for the winter, deep snow didn’t bother Tom. He has been professional and realistic throughout the process, and I never doubted his integrity or work ethic...My faith in him was well rewarded.” George Metos

"I recently worked with Tom Ward on a transaction at the Preserve. This undertaking was a labor for each of us as we worked very hard for our individual clients and with each other to overcome challenges of short timelines, strong personalities & busy clients. Tom was great about making himself available throughout the process. The complexities of gathering all the information related to the home’s many special features, researching adjacent land and other deadlines for my buyer’s due diligence was expedited by the entire group’s availability, willingness to help and great communication. While many real estate transactions do have an adversarial feel, my experience with Tom was that he focused on an interest-based approach, finding solutions and facilitating compromise. We had a huge gap to close and working together we were successful. In the end all parties stepped up to make the deal. The home was handed over to the new owners in pristine condition. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with Tom."

“Tom, you made my first home buying process easy. You showed us homes that had features I didn't even know we wanted until you presented them to us.

You worked your magic getting us into our dream home without burdening us with all the details, just the ones that mattered ...Without you, we wouldn't have found the perfect home we now have.” Emily Holcombe

“It was great working with Tom on the sale of our home. If Linked-In allowed me to choose more than three attributes for Tom, I would also choose "personable," "expert," and "creative." At every step, he anticipated our needs, listened to our ideas, and attended to details. He had creative ideas for marketing and covered all the bases.

"Tom Ward is an excellent, patient, kind, and knowledgeable realtor. He is calm and a good negotiator throughout the process. We initially were looking from out of state and he handled that aspect well and moved quickly to help us see properties and make bids from afar. It is stressful moving across country and it was comforting knowing we had a trusted realtor and that wherever we ended up, it would be the right place. We are so happy in our new home and highly recommend Tom (and Layla) Ward for buying and selling real estate in Park City.” Diana Bensyl - Google Review

“Incredible team player! Besides being extremely organized and knowledgeable, Tom listened to me and made me feel like I was part of the process. His word is golden which makes any relationship, business or otherwise much easier to navigate! Anyone can get a real estate license, however operating like a 5 Star professional is another game altogether. The follow up on each showing, vetting prospective buyers, open houses and balloons on Cinco De Mayo, Tom is a rOcKStAr!! Thank You Tom and Layla!!!” Alana Kelly - Yelp review

Tom and Layla were the right choice for Katy and me when it came time to selling our Midway home. It was an expensive home for the neighborhood, but we were able to sell it for nearly our asking price. Tom is dedicated, thorough, an excellent communicator. I like listening to him; he is to the point, and anything he says is well thought-out. He knows the business well, and doesn't leave anything to chance. Professional in every sense, and caring as well. Good friends to have!” H and Katy Ball - Google review

“Tom expertly guided my wife and me through the pre- sale process. His knowledge of the market helped us set just the right price, and end up with multiple offers.

He was simply excellent.” Mitch Bland - Homelight review

“Tom Ward really knows Park City living there nearly 30 years. He knew almost every detail about every place and area we looked at. If he didn’t, he followed up immediately. Every question was answered! Tom even met us out at the NAC while our son was in camp to bring us while our son was in camp to bring us paperwork to sign! Within 2 days our offer was accepted and we were off and running. I could go on and on! Tom epitomizes FULL SERVICE! Start to finish, he walked us through this entire process which was not easy long distance. Highly recommend Tom!!!” Lisa and Ben Broussard - Google review

“Tom and team were awesome to work with. We’re out of state owners selling a rental property and Tom couldn’t have made it easier. We’ve bought and sold houses in the past locally that were not this easy...full asking price and sold quickly, who doesn’t want that? Having Tom and his team always available to work on our sale any time, day or night, was so nice and stress free. We couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience. Jeff Rexroad - Google review

“Thanks Tom for helping us through the preparations and the sale. This was our first real estate sale. I have heard so many horror stories I was preparing for the worst. Your instincts were dead on and I couldn't be happier. Thanks a million!”

“My wife and I tried to sell our Midway home for 10 months. After months of no communication from our Realtor we went with Tom. The difference was night and day. His team got high quality photos before the ink was even dry on our contact. They developed a website that almost made us want to move back! Tom was in communication with regular updates & reports at every step. He offered good advice when needed and was helpful working through offers. We do not believe he and his team could have done more to sell our home. It was sold within a few months at a fair price with a cash offer.” Tracy Dunford - Google review

“Tom was a pleasure to work with! He was on top of things every step of the way, from helping us price the p roperty all the way through to closing.

"Tom came highly recommended to me, and for the purchase of my first home, I could not have asked for better. From helping me to refine my search to following up even after the closing, he has been reliable, trustworthy, and has gone far beyond what I ever expected in a purchasing agent. Not only his knowledge, but also his personable nature helped me to consider him a friend helping me through the whole process. My family and I have already been recommending him to others. He has definitely set the bar high. I am so grateful for all that he has done for me." Katherine Huffmyer

“This was my 1st home purchase, so I was nervous about finding a realtor on whom I could depend. I've known Tom since 1986, and he was as tenacious as could be. He kept after the details, making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. I've always promoted Tom when asked for a realtor recommendation, and will certainly do so in the future."

“Tom, we have never worked with another realtor, or heard of one for that matter, that was as patient, conscientious, and thorough as you have been.

“Tom far exceeded my expectations for an agent. He is tenacious about establishing, communicating, & hitting deadlines. Tom helped me clarify my needs - which were slightly different than I originally thought and extremely important for my property selection.

Knowing I could trust him and his process took the stress out of purchasing my condo." Jay Mitchell
