Christopher Cox - cbcox@bbandt.com I would definitely recommend Rob. Whether it's buying a home or selling your existing home, Rob delivers first class service and always does it with a smile. By far the best real estate professional I have dealt with. |

My dealings with Rob Thomas have been as professional as you could ask. He always kept me informed, was straight forward in what was happening, and was very active in selling my home. So when I referred friends of mine to contact Rob, they were all as pleased as I was. If you want a professional real estate agent to go to work for you, then Rob is your guy.

In my opinion Rob Thomas should be cloned and sent to every real estate market in the country as an example of the way Realtors should run their businesses. My husband and I have moved 23 times and have bought and sold seven homes always using a Realtor. I have never had an agent so knowledgeable about the area, homes available, price points and customer relations as was Rob Thomas. Rob is also the most personable and polite young man to travel the area with while looking for homes. He never says he can't or would rather not go out looking and he always made himself available at any time of the day or night. I felt as if I had known him for years and wish I had. If I had had such a Realtor as Rob in the past 23 moves my life would have been so much easier. Now I know who I can trust and who to recommend to all who need the best real estate agent in the country. P. Strickland |

I chose to work with Rob Thomas because of the high level of professionalism displayed in his advertisements, especially the quality of the pictures. I expected professional, quality service with an agent that was interested in selling my property quickly and sho would keep me informed on a regular basis as to progress. Rob excelled at meeting my expectations. I was most impressed with Rob's high level of ethics. He is forthright, hard working and honest in his dealings with his clients. I would recommend Rob Thomas not only to a friend, but to anyone interested in purchasing or selling a property. C. Keller |

Rob was recommended by a neighbor. He sold their house quickly. They couldn’t say enough nice things about him. I had interview several other realtors and Rob just stood out. Plus he uses the internet for his marketing. He sold our house in 3 months in a market that was not selling. He also sold our parents’ house. Has a great personality, professional and kept in touch with us all the time. Mainly he is a full time realtor. Thinking about selling again and I will call Rob again. |

When my wife and I were moving to the Bristol area due to a job transfer, we looked at a house listed by Rob. Although that house was not for us, we liked Rob’s approach and demeanor and later asked him to help us find a house. It was a combined effort in that he brought prospects to us and we found some we wanted to look at on our own. Rob was agreeable and cheerfully showed us the selected properties. We finally found a house and Rob was very good at helping us get the right offer accepted. He also put us in touch with everyone we needed for closing and was helpful with other information needed in acquainting ourselves with the area. We developed a professional and personal relationship with Rob, and when my job took us out of the area, we naturally called him. He was familiar with the improvements we had made to our home and suggested a listing based upon his market knowledge. Our property was listed on a Thursday and a contract agreed to on Saturday. I can only give Rob the highest recommendation to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Bristol area. He has an integrity and sincerity that is unequaled in his field. Jerry & Lamana Lockette |

When my wife and I were looking for a Realtor to sell my house, I decided I would contact a few Realtors and meet with them prior to listing my house. Rob was the first Realtor I met with and chose to list my house with Rob and did not meet with anyone else. I chose to work with Rob because he was willing to listen to my wife and I and we felt comfortable working with Rob. When we decided to sell our house we expected our Realtor to get us maximum exposure to potential buyers and get us the best price on our house. Rob gave our house as much attention as he did all of his other listings and worked to get us the best selling price. Rob definitely met our expectations. We were impressed by Rob's work ethic and attentiveness to our needs. Rob was quick to return phone-calls and voice-mails to answer the many questions we had. After selling our house, Rob worked with us to purchase another house. We ran into some issues with the seller and the seller's agent, but with Rob's knowledge and experience he was able to resolve all of the issues to make the sell happen. I would tell my friends Rob is a hard worker and will do everything he can to make your real estate transaction go as smoothly as possible. Nick Worsham |

This was my 2nd home purchase. Rob was the most helpful and professional real estate agent I have ever worked with. I was looking to live in a particular area and I was very picky. He patiently took me to literally every home that was for sale in the area and even an area near where I wanted to be. I can tell Rob really loves what he does as the most important thing to him is to see his clients satisfied. When my mom and dad came down to help me look, he made my parents feel just as much of the process as he made me...even though they had nothing to do with the final decision! He helped me find the perfect home! A. Russell |

I have recommended Rob to several friends that needed help selling their Homes. All three had tried other agents with no luck and needed to sell in a bad way. Rob went the extra mile on everything for them and all three sold in just a short while. He treated them the way everyone wants to be treated with regular updates, advise and great job getting their homes noticed. I would recommend Rob to anyone wanting to help with Real Estate buying or selling. Phillip Glover... |

Rob is an amazing realtor. He not only finds the perfect house for your needs/desires, but he also gives you advice on decisions that you may be on the fence about. He knows the area and makes sure that he knows as much about the property before you step foot in the door! CJ and Sybil Manahan |

We met Rob when he was representing the couple who sold us their home in Piney Flats, TN. Although Rob wasn't "our" agent, he worked with us and represented our desires during negotiations and was always very professional and personable. Based on that great experience, when the time came for us to sell our then-existing home in Johnson City, TN, we called Rob immediately--very glad that we did! |

We moved from PA to VA in 2005 and contacted Rob to find us a house. After looking at very few houses, he determined my preferences and found us the perfect home. We liked Rob so much we became instant friends and keep in touch to this day. Unfortunately, we had to move in 2007 and we listed our house with Rob. He literally sold our place overnight. I do not think you could find a more informed, capable, respectable agent anywhere. Needless to say, I highly recommend him! |

Rob has helped my family sell a home and buy a home. He is my first call when I want to know what is happening in the housing market in the area, or when I have a friend that needs a realtor. When we sold our first home, Rob was there for us, even though I had already moved out of the area he stayed on top of the sale. The home was small and inexpensive, but he treated it as a million dollar deal. I have known Rob and his family for well over a decade. He has proven himself trust worthy and wise. When it comes time to sell my home, he will be my broker. |

We were flying into the area for the weekend for business and looking for a home. We looked on the internet to locate an agent to show us homes in a short time frame. We called Rob from the airport; with short notice, he set up appointments to show us several properties and actually helped us make an offer on a house before we headed back to the airport. We would be glad to work with him again in the future and would recommend him to others. He helped us with the closing on the property while we remained in another state, very smooth transition. Many thanks to Rob! Sincerely, R & V Green |
