Wow. Tom must have at least 6 weeks of work piled up due to Covid 19 (maybe more) and be under a lot of pressure at the moment but I called him with a request for a valuation and he said will provide it as soon as possible for me. Tom did my original HTB valuation too. Extremely impressed with his service. Thanks so much Tom.
