My wife Joan and I had an EXCELLENT experience when, recently, we sold our home in the western suburbs of Philadelphia after 45 years of happiness there. Tom Dooner, who was so helpful in selling our home, is a full service realtor at Duffy Real Estate. What differentiated Tom from the beginning of our relationship with him was his amazing customer service. What a kind and thoughtful man he is! Tom’s attention to detail and his knowledge of the real estate selling process helped make our transaction seem seamless. He handled every detail, including recommending and overseeing our required connection to the public sewer in place of our old septic system. He made numerous recommendations on how to prepare our house for being sold and developed creative and effective marketing materials that helped bring us top dollar. Tom worked tirelessly, and always so pleasantly! We thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate!

Tom Dooner of Duffy Real Estate, St. David’s: FIVE STARS! We just endured one of the most difficult processes, the sale of a large home in which we lived for 40 years and the transition to a home half that size. I am so thankful that I chose Tom Dooner to help sell our home in Haverford and buy a new home in Gulph Mills. Make no mistake – Tom is not a part time agent: he is there for you when you need him and he really knows what he’s doing! No, Tom isn’t a realtor who 'get the listing' by telling you whatever you want to hear and then leaving the work to a 'crew." There was no pressure, snobbishness, personality difficulties and the like with Duffy Real Estate. And we sold our house in a very difficult market while similar homes sat on the market for many months. With our new house hunt, Tom found a great engineer inspector and encouraged us to walk away from homes that might become a nightmare later. You can tell when someone just wants to make the sale and doesn't really care about you - that's not Tom. I really like Tom and highly recommend him. Simple as that.
