Tom Alflen

I have been a real estate investor for almost 40 years and a REALTOR® for over 27 years. I truly enjoy providing service and sharing my knowledge with buyers and sellers of premier waterfront homes, cottages, vacant land, recreational land, and commercial properties primarily in Leelanau and Grand Traverse Counties.

I prefer to represent only a select number of clients every year—offering you, the client, an immeasurable amount of attention and knowledge to help you achieve your real estate goals most efficiently.

I personally back up every transaction with decades of real estate experience and serve my clients (Buyer, or Seller) better. When you work with a REALTOR®, you should actually learn from them as well, so whether you will be starting (investing in) your Northern Michigan/Leelanau Legacy or selling your property in this most spectacular area, I know how to place myself in your shoes and become— Your personal rainmaker!

I abide by a code of ethics as a REALTOR®, and that is very important to me. So whether you are a Buyer or a Seller, I will uphold my fiduciary responsibility to you, from our introduction right through the closing & beyond. I will cover this aspect in detail with you when we talk.

I hope you will allow me the honor of becoming your REALTOR®. I am ready, so let's talk soon.

Sincerely,
Tom Alflen

Tom is the penultimate real estate professional. Not only is he prompt and courteous, but he also took the time to fully understand what we wanted in our home quest and maintained this focus during the entire search and purchase process. Tom also saved us significantly with his knowledge of lakefront issues, and he was also able to cut through considerable red tape to allow us to quickly close on our property. We are extremely appreciative to have been able to work with Tom. We hope we can maintain his friendship for many years to come.

Working with Tom was just awesome! He is so helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and kind! We are so lucky to have found him. He listened to what we were looking for and found us the perfect home. He convinced me to take a look at a home that on paper just didn't look right to me - and guess what? dream home! We have just moved in and are thrilled! During the closing process, Tom checked in often and stayed on top of all the details. Thank you, Tom!

Tom got the job done quickly. He got the job done in a matter of a couple of days. He’s honest and a hard worker; you should be happy to have him on your team.

I've worked with many agents over the years, and Tom is definitely one of the very best. He is extremely knowledgeable about the local market (Northport or Cherry Homes), always answers his phone, and offers honest feedback and advice. I was also very impressed that his service did not stop when the sale was complete. He's called me to check in several times over the last year and has also helped me find local contractors, handymen, etc. When you meet Tom, you can tell immediately that he is a genuinely nice guy who just wants the best for you. And based on my experience, he works hard to go over and above to ensure that you are so hysterically happy you couldn't fathom using another realtor in the future! (smile) Thank you for everything, Tom - so appreciative of you!

Seller
Tom is very knowledgeable about Leelanau County and beyond. We have bought and sold a few houses with him and could not ask for a better realtor to deal with. Definitely would and will use him again.

Tom was great to work with and very knowledgeable about the Leelanau County area. He was more than happy to help us with anything we needed throughout the buying process and continually impressed us with his dedication to helping us find the home that was right for us. I would give ten stars if I could!

Having purchased and sold multiple properties, I would suggest that partnering with a Real Estate agent with in-depth knowledge of the area that you have identified is of the utmost importance. To that end, when I am looking for property in Michigan, particularly in the Leelanau Peninsula, I have always contacted Tom Alflen. I recently completed another real estate transaction in Sutton’s Bay, Michigan, which went through smoothly primarily because of the consistent attention to detail and the responsiveness of both Tom and his team. These are the tools of a successful real estate purchase.

There is nobody in Leelanau County with more knowledge of the area than Tom. He showed, and continues to show, me multiple properties upon request and always has a smile on his face. Every time I call him, he answers right then or returns my call that day! I have a lot of respect for this guy's work ethic. I wouldn't trust anyone else to get my deals done. Thanks, Tom.

Buyer
Tom is a very skilled negotiator and, in our case, obtained the full asking price on a property we sold and saved us a substantial amount on one we purchased. On top of that, he is a true gentleman and a pleasure to work with. We've bought and sold houses and properties over the years, and he is at the top of the list. Can't say enough about him.
