Working with Gabby and Tom was an absolute dream, and we can't recommend them highly enough! From our very first meeting, we were blown away by their professionalism and organization. They are both incredibly personable and knowledgeable, and they made the entire home-buying process feel seamless and stress-free. What truly sets them apart is how perfectly they work together as a team. Gabby's and Tom's individual strengths complement each other wonderfully, creating a powerhouse duo that covered all the bases and left no stone unturned. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we found the perfect home for our family right here in Ridgefield. We couldn’t be happier, and it's all thanks to them! If you're looking for the best in the business, look no further than Gabby and Tom.

We had an incredible experience working with Gabby and Tom on both the sale of our current home and the purchase of our new one. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive and genuinely committed to helping us achieve the best outcome on both sides of the process. We never felt rushed or pressured and always felt confident we were in good hands. Over the course of several months they guided us with patience and expert knowledge. Great experience!

I had a great experience working with Gab and Tom. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and guided me through every step of the condo-buying process with patience and professionalism. Thanks to their help, I found the perfect place. Highly recommend!

Nina

The team of Gabby, Mary and Tom are AMAZING!!! I cannot express enough how wonderful they all were with regard to the selling of our home. The team has exceptional market knowledge, and outstanding communication. We have sold 3 homes and we have never had a team like this. The team works very hard to make sure your home looks beautiful with staging and pictures. They were all very responsive and understanding to all our concerns during the home selling process. Gabby, Mary and Tom are genuine in their care and support for the people they work with. This team will go above and beyond when selling your home. I highly recommend this team!!

We were matched with Tom Skillman when we tried to schedule a tour for a house we found online and were glad to have him represent us throughout the entire process. Tom went above and beyond during our house search and purchase; was proactive and followed up regularly via phone call during the entire process. We definitely recommend Tom SKILLMAN for your next house hunt!

We were lucky to meet Tom hosting an open house we stopped in on early in our search. After working with 3 realtors prior that weren’t a good fit for us, we clicked instantly with Tom. He’s such a great person and we thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

Andrea O’Connor and Tom Skillman were amazing. As first time home buyers, the process can be daunting. They held our hand throughout the process, provided recommendations whenever needed, and treated us like family. We could not be happier! I would recommend them to everyone I know.

Christina Viera

Buying a home in today's market can be intimidating, but we were able to entrust Tom through this process and are now enjoying our new home. He has a wonderful disposition, extensive local knowledge, and always made himself accessible. We are excited to move to this community and appreciative of his guidance and expertise.

Juan Castellanos

Tom was extremely friendly and helpful during the search and leasing process and beyond. He has offered multiple times to help introduce us to the Ridgefield area and give recommendations, and has really made us feel welcome in our new home.

Megan & Eric Seidel

We met Tom at an open house almost 9 months ago when were at the extreme beginning of our search. A few later we contacted him regarding a separate property that had caught our attention. From that point in Tom became our direct contact when we saw something of interest. Tom was always extremely accommodating and willing to drop whatever he was doing to make a home available to us as quickly as possible. We were very specific with Tom in what we were looking for and he respected that. He allowed us to work through our process, never pressuring us towards something he knew wouldn’t check our boxes. When is came down to the crunch time of finalizing details in our contract Tom took the initiative to ensure we were satisfied with the repair work. We are extremely happy with the work Tom did on our behalf, it was a pleasure working with him.

Matthew Richards

We met Thomas Skillman at an open house and immediatley I knew we wanted to work with him . Its been about a year of looking at homes , and Tom always made himself available , knew every new listing , and never had a problem scheduling us despite our difficult schedules . His knowledge of the area is truly impressive, and he really showed us what to love about our new community. Tom never pressured us , he guided us , was patient , and really could not have been more helpful. In these unprecedented times , It can be difficult to navigate some of the simple things, but we fcan still say we had a really incredibly homebuying experience. I would highly recommend Thomas Skillman, as well as William Pitt Sothebys, and we cant thank you enough !

Joseph Golusinski
