I first met Joe Tomazin at a First Time Home Buyer’s education course in which he acted as a knowledgeable resource to teach as well as answer questions from prospective first-time home buyers such as myself. In the course, Joe explained not only the Realtor®’s role in the process but also highlighted some watch-outs for unnecessary charges or commitments that some Realtor®s like to implement. To me, this speaks volumes to the man’s character and commitment to helping his clients throughout the home buying/selling processes. If this man is willing to volunteer his time in teaching people how to not be taken advantage of, with no obligation for them to work with him in any way, then he has to be a relatively straightforward guy, right? After working with Joe in buying my first home I can say with absolute certainty that he is, and for that, I cannot recommend him enough. Never once throug…

After working with Joe in buying my first home I can say with absolute certainty that he is, and for that, I cannot recommend him enough. Never once throughout the process did I feel pressure from Joe in committing to any of the numerous houses we looked at per my request. On the contrary, Joe would dig into and point out things that I would have overlooked on my own such as the large woodland that I enjoyed behind one home being commissioned for housing development with construction scheduled within the next couple of years. Bye, bye wooded backyard privacy. This type of foresight alone makes Joe invaluable as a Realtor®. Most impressive to me is Joe’s availability via email, texting, phone calls, etc. The home I ultimately bought came onto market the same day we toured it. It was only through Joe’s responsiveness, flexibility, and tenaciousness that we were able to set up the showing, draft an offer letter, and submit it the following day in time to not miss out. From there, Joe made the whole process simple and reassuring by generating necessary timelines, listing expected amounts, projecting next steps, recommending inspectors, and explaining every document needing to be signed. In short, Joe took what has generally been deemed a daunting task and made it incredibly manageable. I could go on a great deal longer about why I would recommend working with Joe, but I only have so much space. If you are looking for a Realtor® with your interests in mind then work with Joe Tomazin. You won’t regret it. Sincerely, a pleased home buyer
What a great experience! In late June 2022, I decided to sell my house in Windham and begin a search for a new home at the same time. Derek Goff, of Tomazin Goff Realty, had been by my house several years in a row, leaving behind a market analysis of Windham home sales, and every Halloween he left a pumpkin at my doorstep with his business card. Though I had never met Derek, I figured anyone with that kind of perseverance and work ethic is surely going to work hard to sell my house. I met with Derek at my house. We did a tour and we talked about all that he and his office would do to help me sell my house. From a no-cost staging consultant, professional photography, and professional drone video of my house and neighborhood to 3d scanning of the inside of my house to create a virtual tour. Derek even created a calendar that highlighted important milestones like the open house, home inspec…

Derek even created a calendar that highlighted important milestones like the open house, home inspection, showings, and ultimately the closing date. In less than a week I was under contract at my asking price. Derek kept me ahead of the process every step of the way. He provided me with lists of things I would need to do to prepare for a showing, prepare for closing, and prepare for moving. Derek was able to minimize the stress in what can be an incredibly stressful process. Derek's knowledge, professionalism, and drive were the reasons I also worked with him to find my new home, and he did not disappoint. Derek walked me through the process from start to finish. He was incredibly responsive to questions or concerns I had along the way. As with my home sale, Derek provided me with lists of things I would need to do. He also included contact numbers for each utility company, service provider, and reputable home inspector. A short time after moving into my new home, Derek called to check in with me. I can't say enough about the incredible experience I had working with Derek. I highly recommend him and his team.
Derek Goff is the best of the best. We were nervous about starting the process of buying our first home, but Derek went above and beyond the duties of a Realtor®. We met him at his home buyer class about 6 months ago and decided that we were ready to start looking in early June. Derek took us to several homes and always accommodated our schedule. He was responsive, thorough, and knowledgeable. He pointed out various red flags in certain homes and we felt like he took good care of us. We put several offers in until they accepted our offer on the 4th house. When determining what to offer, Derek had recommendations on what he would list it for if he was the agent and always supported our offers with reasonable contingencies that we felt comfortable with. He was also there throughout our pending process as well. We happened to be delayed several times over some issues in the house and Derek …

We had a couch scheduled to be delivered but then couldn't close in time so I had to wait at the house and load it into my car since we didn't live there yet. Derek was so kind and called to check on me and asked if we needed any help with it. He is not only a great Realtor® but a helpful and caring friend. Thank you, Derek! We're so excited about our new home! Hopefully, we won't be selling for many years. But when we do, you're our guy!
I wish I could give more stars on this rating, especially for ‘responsiveness’ as working with Joe was the best part of the process of buying my first home. I knew absolutely nothing going in, and tend to get overwhelmed easily, but Joe effectively filtered the jargon for me, and educated me quickly on the process, technique, and all the important parts of the real estate game. Most importantly, I was never once pressured into anything I didn’t want to engage with, and when houses I looked at were duds, Joe used that time as an educational moment that let me sort out what to look for and avoid in future homes possibilities. Then came the finale, I found a house I fell in love with and Joe fought for me to have it. He maneuvered the closing with ease, kept me informed on what was needed from me, and best of all I got the house for way under the asking price. I honestly couldn’t ask for a …

He maneuvered the closing with ease, kept me informed on what was needed from me, and best of all I got the house for way under the asking price. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better partner in this process and I Will only work with Joe in the future. If you don’t use Joe as your real estate agent, that’s stupid.
I always said to my husband that if we ever sold our home, I'd drive the agent nuts, based on some of the listings I see online, typos, bad pics, not relative info about the property, etc. I would expect better than that. I didn't have to drive Derek Goff nuts'. The quality of his work was outstanding. The property has its website, with extremely professional photos, 3D rendering, floor plan, video, typo-free relative info write-up, etc. is amazing. His use of all online media outlets for advertising. His emails of statistics of how your listing is doing in comparison to your comps were amazing. He was always super responsive to emails, texts, or calls with questions. His thoroughness in preparation for the open house and every other aspect of the sale was commendable.
As first-time home buyers, we were very clueless as to many aspects of this process. Joe was referred to us by a friend who not only was in the mortgage industry but had Joe sell her house for her. In this market, houses hit the market and are sold sometimes in a day. So having a Realtor® that was responsive and proactive in doing their research the second we found a house we liked was huge. He suggested homes during the process that fit our picky choices and knew what red flags to look for as we did each walkthrough. We had a minor bump on a closing day during the final walkthrough which he helped advocate on our behalf to remedy. When/if we look for our next house we’ll reach out to Joe to represent us, and fiercely recommend him to everyone in the interim. Thanks again, Joe!
