Testimonials

We actually never made it to auction because the property sold. He did help us close the sale which went smoothly. I was impressed with Tom’s expertise in our discussions to have an auction. Would definitely use their services again if needed.

I would highly recommend!

Tom helped me with my parents’ home. He was very professional and very helpful with the whole process. I would recommend his services and will be using him again if I ever need him.

It had been five years since my parents passed away. Their home was filled with memories of many generations and represented a sense of love and family to us. Making the decision to sell their home was one that had was made after much thought. Once the decision was made to sell, the choice to whom we could entrust our family home had to be made. We spoke to several folks and the moment we spoke with you, we knew we had found the right person.

Tom, we are grateful to you for the kindness and understanding you provided to us every step of the way. The day we met face-to-face, you pulled up a chair outside of our parent’s home and shared your philosophy and care and concern to treat our family home like it was your family home. Every step of the way you reinforced that selling our home was a privilege by your actions and constant communication.

Will never forget the burden that was lifted from our shoulders when you told us you would take care of everything. And you did just that. Through the preparation for auction until the final signing, you kept us informed and your concern for us made the entire experience easy. In the end, we felt that the selling of our parents’ home was handled professionally and with dignity and by doing that you honored our parents which was most important to us.

Obviously, our trust in you a person and professional was reinforced as we selected you to sell the home where my husband and I had our first son. Also a place filled with love and memories. In both situations, the sell of the homes exceeded our expectations with regards to price.

Tom, we are grateful to you, personally and professionally. You have knowledge and wisdom blended with care and compassion which is a perfect combination for peace of mind during what can be a very emotional time.
With kindest regards,

Betsey Lewis Snow

Tom categorized the assets, gave a professional opinion as to their fair market value, and cataloged the personal property for auction along with the Real Estate. He also brought two well-qualified bidders to the table, which helped bring in $360,000.00 more for the land and buildings than the court was initially expecting.

This was a contentious case from start to finish. Tom’s genial demeanor and professional approach helped smooth a lot of ruffled feathers to resolve the case quickly and efficiently. He was able to work with the different parties and kept everyone informed and on the same page throughout the proceedings. He did a great job for us and I was very pleased with the outcome.

I would highly recommend Tom Jordan of Carolina Auction & Realty anytime you need an experienced and professional Auctioneer, Real Estate Broker or Appraiser. He can be reached at 919-832-8005. Feel free to call or email me if you’d like to further discuss my experience with Tom.

Especially the business world. All too often, as the movie “A Few Good Men” pointed out, these words are used as punchlines to jokes. But when we find the “real deal”…someone who exhibits these character traits…we instinctively know this is someone in who we can place our confidence.
Tom Jordan is the “real deal”.

Recently, my brother and I lost our father. It was a very unexpected passing and left a tremendous burden on us. Yet, at a time when it would have been easy to take advantage of my brother and me, Tom Jordan came alongside and helped in ways we will never be able to adequately or completely thank him. His advice and guidance was sound. His help was compassionate. And in all aspects, he exhibited the highest levels of professionalism and integrity.
In the New Testament of the Bible, the apostle Paul exhorts us to encourage and help those around us. In the greek, the word is “paraclete” and can best be thought of as someone who comes alongside and shares the burden in a compassionate manner.

Personally, what I found most compelling was how he embodied the definition of this concept. Tom Jordan is a man of integrity and character who does not hesitate to help his clients in any way he can.

I can offer no higher recommendation than I do for Tom. He is a man of true character. Anyone doing business with Tom can rest assured that they are in the best of hands and that their interests are truly his.

I appreciate your responsiveness and reporting throughout the marketing campaign. I think everyone involved in this Estate felt very informed throughout the whole auction process, due to the weekly updates via phone & email. Additionally, it was less work for me as the Trustee to deal with one vender (Carolina Auction & Realty) instead of dealing separately with a real estate broker and an auctioneer. Most important to me was your “can do” attitude towards every aspect of the marketing/sale process.

The auction process gets the job done quickly and efficiently and leaves little room for buyers to back out. This is mainly due to the property being sold “as is” and free of contingencies. In conclusion, I want to say that you identified the market, attacked the market and achieved the optimum results at the sale. Thank you for your hard work.

My father passed away quite suddenly at the end of April, 2008, leaving myself and my brother to answer the question, “What next?” as it pertained to his real and personal property. When I contacted Tom on the telephone, his demeanor was that of a caring professional. As we discussed possible options, Tom overviewed the process of an on-premises estate auction of both real and personal property, answered all questions, and offered to meet me at the property at my convenience.

I met Tom in person a few days later, after ‘surveying the property’ to see what we had, we sat down and Tom again reviewed all of our options, advised what he could and could not do, and made some recommendations for my brother and me to consider. As promised, a few days later a formal – and extremely professional – ‘Auction Marketing Proposal’ found its way into our email inboxes. Unlike proposals we received from other auction companies, Tom’s went through the entire process; from initial contact to a personalized marketing plan detailing what he would do to help us obtain the maximum for our property, his proposal left no questions unanswered.

On the basis of his proposal, answers to our questions, and the feeling that we could ‘trust’ him to do as he proposed, my brother and I engaged Tom to handle the sale of our father’s real estate (the personal property being to small to handle in that manner, we elected another route for liquidation of the personal property).

However, the property never made it to auction as Tom, through his marketing efforts, brought us multiple offers – all of which exceeded our reserve price – from interested buyers who wanted to consummate a deal prior to the auction taking place.

From our initial ‘interview’ throughout the entire process, Tom went out of his way to make sure we understood the entire process — which was no easy task considering my brother resides hundreds of miles away in New England. Nevertheless, Tom kept us in the loop the entire time offered to make sure whatever needed to be done was done. For example, When I was out of town and unable to meet a repairman, Tom took care of it. When I was unable to go to closing, Tom went to closing on our behalf.

If you need an auctioneer who goes above and beyond the call of duty, Tom Jordan is your man! And who knows, you just might wind up with a good friend – as I did – as a result of the transaction.
