Tom worked diligently to assist in the sale of the property. Tom continuously kept us informed on the status of potential buyers and offers. Tom was essential from step one of the process to closing. I would highly recommend Tom as a real estate agent.

Tom helped us sell our house even before it went public. We had a buyer. He was always responsive even when I had a million question or was panicking because of our village. I didn’t have a real estate attorney and he was able to recommend a great one for us. Enjoyed working with both of them.

I would recommend Tom to anyone looking for agent who keeps the lines of communication clear and open on even the smallest detail. He offered guidance and choices when questions of concern came up. Marie Novotny

Buying or selling a home is one of the top stressors in life. That being said, one needs someone who is available, honest, patient and optimistic. Tom Hinshaw is all of these. There are few things more troubling than having to wait for your realtor’s answer to your phone call. Tom always got back to us immediately or in a timely manner. When we were “down” about the selling process, Tom countered with optimism which was sorely needed. We trusted Tom’s appraisal of our property and we reaped very close to his idea of what it would sell for. Tom was extremely patient with all of our questions and concerns of which there were many. We highly recommend Tom Hinshaw!!!!

Leslie Buch
We would highly recommend using Tom Hinshaw for your Real Estate needs. He was able to get our home listed quickly while we were out of town. Once we returned, he was a great communicator and gave feedback after each showing. After we had our contract and were in the process of packing for our move, he went above and beyond to help with our charity donations. He made our move less stressful with all of his assistance! Thanks Tom for your professionalism and caring attitude to complete the sale! Linda & Terry

I can’t say enough about working with Tom. No matter how many times I called about viewing a property, he was kind enough to make time for me. He is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
John Janon
It took us almost two years to find "the one" and during that time Tom was always patient and encouraging. We will always remember when he told us "It's out there we just have to find it". He was knowledgeable about the market and made us aware of changes. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for their forever home.
Gerrie and Bruce Nechuta
I’m just thrilled with how everything turned out. Tom was spot on with everything to do with the sale of my place and had a steady hand at the wheel as we worked our way through the process. We are very excited with our new home and a new adventure. Thank you for everything!
Robert Young
We recently sold and purchased homes through Tom. He was helpful and responsive at every step from staging to closings. His efficiency made this complicated process a breeze. We highly recommend Tom for your real estate needs!

Tom was very helpful on narrowing down our interests in what we were looking for. He was also very helpful in helping us stage our house for a quick sale at a great price.
Mike Crawshaw
If you are looking for someone who will go anywhere Tom is your guy! Tom walked through some pretty beat up houses with me and I was very unsure of what exactly I wanted. We looked at houses with no walls, bank owned houses, condos, more houses with no walls. He was great and always tried to find something positive in each home! I highly recommend his services. He has a great team behind him as well-- mortgage agents who are so helpful and his attorney team is AWESOME.

As a first time home buyer, I was concerned about the buying process. Tom did an excellent Job the whole way through. He kept me informed, offered advice and notified me about new listings. Tom was always ready to jump when I was. He is very easy to work with and he works his schedule around yours. He is very knowledgeable and professional and kept me up to date through the whole process. I was very content working with Tom and would recommend him to anyone!

Tom provided a wealth of insight and information for me before and during the sale of my mother's home in St. John, IN. It was a long time in the making to get my mother's home on the market and a situation which I was not terribly excited to face as it had been her home for the past 25 years (lots of stuff). Because my mother lived in St. John, IN, I wasn't very familiar with the resources in that area that I needed to get my mother's house ready to sell. Tom not only provided me with an excellent agent referral to help sell her house (we sold it in three days), but other valuable information to help pave the road for the sale. How nice to know that Tom can not only help you in his territory but can also guide you to professional resources in towns outside his area as well. Thanks for all of your help Tom!
Katie Zimmerman
Tom recently helped us sell our home. Not only was Tom thorough in talking us through the process ( it had been 30 years) but was always there to answer questions. The house was on the market for only 54 days till closing which was great. He did a great job promoting it along with numerous open houses. We would highly recommend Tom for either buying or selling.
Nancy & Jack Meingast
I appreciated all that Tom had done to sell my home. Starting with several meetings prior to going on the market for tips on best curb appeal and marketing strategy, to following up with clients and myself after showings. Once an offer was received, he was very involved to resolve any issues or questions that came up to see a successful closing.
Keith Fezekas
I trusted Tom to help me with selling 2 condos and it paid off. Tom got immediate results. We priced the condos right and Tom was able to get many showings and offers. Tom values his client's time, he just about answered every time I called him. His communication was great, he was very thorough and timely. Tom has the experience that you can depend on. You will be happy with Tom, all the way from the start to the end.
Marc Veverka
Tom was very attentive in the purchase of our new home, and is currently involved in the selling of our older home. His suggestions are very helpful and his feedback is always appreciated.

Our experience with Baird & Warner was very positive. Our agent was friendly & professional, had a great sense of humor, and he demonstrated excellent computer and marketing skills. We felt that he had our best interest at heart and worked very hard for us. We would highly recommend Tom Hinshaw and Baird and Warner to our friends.
We had an unusual house to sale. It has lots of square footage but needs some updating. Consequently, pricing the home was a bit challenging. The inside of the home was more appealing then pictures portrayed, not because of the quality of the pictures, but because of staging. We had already emptied the house of much of the furniture and decor and we did not have the time and energy for improving the presentation. Therefore, we have no complaints. We were pleasantly pleased with Tom's ability to work with us and his sensitivity to our needs. Thank-you, Baird & Warner, for your expertise, and support, and recommendations for the sale of our home.

Tom was very helpful in the sale of my mother's condominium. His local knowledge and experience made the difference in an effective listing and sale of her property.
Paul Daugherty
Tom was very helpful as our real estate agent, he did a great job on both the selling of our home and on the purchase of our new home. Tom got us a lot of showings when selling and we sold faster than we thought. Easy to find our new wonderful home in working with Tom, we are very happy with our new place. Tom did a great job; he was very helpful, thoughtful, attentive and knowledgeable on every step of the way, start to finish. Tom did not need to knock at the "family" side door when he came to see us, he became part of the family. It is easy to refer Tom, you will be happy with his services and professionalism all the way through closing.
Sharon & John Neumann
As first-time home buyers who questioned the need for a realtor, Tom Hinshaw quickly proved himself invaluable. We began working with Tom because he was the only agent who consistently answered my phone calls. His responsiveness never waivered. We had many house hunting adventures including last minute deletions/additions, all of which he coordinated quickly and efficiently. I can't say enough about his professionalism, insight and friendliness. Additionally, everyone he introduced us to, including attorney and home inspector, were equally expert and easy to work with. Tom's patience and upstanding character made our first home buying experience a best case scenario. We are so happy in our new home. Thank you, Tom!
Jennifer and Duane Sunnquist
Tom helped us find our new home in Winfield just a few weeks ago. From the moment we engaged Tom in our search earlier this year he was always there for us. He arranged all the listings we wanted to see on our schedule and always made himself available just about any time we wanted to see a home. He also helped out in negotiating some extra little discounts from the seller that lowered our closing costs and put some cash in our pocket for moving into the new home. We’re going to be in this home for a long time thanks to Tom. It’s perfect for us and we couldn’t have found a better place without his help. If we’re ever in the market again for a new home, we’re definitely calling Tom!
Scott & Svetlana Thomas
We would like to extend our thanks again to Tom for all the support and help in getting us through the whole buying process. We are very grateful for Tom setting us on the right path to make this home a reality for us.

Tom got the highest two bedroom condo sale in the history of the building (1000 N Lake Shore Dr.), and the fifth highest price sale ever in the building. Tom delivers! Tom provided detailed information about each step of the process in selling our home, and helped with staging and marketing the unit to the right buyers. He went above and beyond every step of the way, from conducting open houses, to being present at showings, to being present for repair work and inspections once the condo was under contract. Tom has the hustle to move properties at a good price--other realtors just hope the internet sells the property, but Tom does the work to move properties and delivers for sellers.

We were extremely pleased with the level of service and knowledge Tom provided us during our house search. He was a partner with us during the process, both responding to our requests for showings and information very quickly, and being proactive about providing new listings to us for consideration. Our house search ultimately brought us in a different direction (addition to existing home) but Tom's knowledge of the community can't be beat and we appreciate all he did for us. I would not hesitate to work with him again. Thanks Tom!

It was a genuine pleasure working with Tom on our house sale! I have worked with Tom in the past in another business venture and when I found out he became a Realtor, I instantly listed our home with him. Tom kept us up-to-date each step of the way and made the selling process very smooth. I am amazed at how quickly our home sold! He is an outstanding individual who I plan on referring to anyone who is buying or selling a house. Thank you, Tom!

I have known Tom Hinshaw for over 5 years. We have worked together on improving our public schools, played basketball together, and watched our sons play travel sports on the same team. In every interaction I have witnessed Tom's unflagging enthusiasm for getting things done that are in everyone's best interest. I know him to be honest, trustworthy, completely forthcoming and sincere.
As School Board President, I witnessed Tom's ability to get things done, his dedication to the people in the school and the community, and his gift for working with a variety of people and sometimes disparate interests.
Tom's service to our community extends well beyond our schools. He began and continues to grow a foundation for the homeless which involves people of all ages, and he has run more than one successful campaign for public office. It's no wonder it seems like he knows everyone in Western Springs, LaGrange, Indian Head Park, LaGrange Highlands, and Burr Ridge.
If I were buying or selling a home, there is no one I would trust more to work hard serving my best interest. And I can't imagine anyone more qualified by their commitment to the community to sell my home or help me find a new one.
Sincerely,
Dan Rusk
