About The Tommy Crane Group


Welcome > Agent Info > About The Tommy Crane Group ...

Why work with a small group like The Tommy Crane Group instead of one of the Mega- Realtors?

Tommy has over 30 years of experience in New Orleans real estate and developed a firm that offers a unique personal service approach, putting a team of licensed professionals, led by Tommy, to work for you. We provide you 24/7 service with someone always ready to assist.

Tommy worked with the Mega Companies, but learned he could offer better, quicker and more personal service with a small firm.

We are small enough to provide you personalized attention and we are large enough to maintain a large network to market your property or find the right home.

Real Estate Tips

For Sale By Owner >Sold

Some things are hard to measure, and others are easy. Success in a real estate sale is easy. It occurs when the "SOLD" sign is in your front yard. And having that occur as quickly as possible is the goal of every real estate agent and every home seller.

You have undoubtedly heard that old saying about the "hard way" and the "easy way" to do something. The hard way to get the "SOLD" sign up is to try and sell it yourself. The easy way is to use the services of a real estate sales professional, someone who is not only trained to get it sold, but to get as much for your home as the market will bear.

Remember, the agent doesn't get paid until your home is "SOLD". And the amount they earn in commission is dependent upon the amount of the sale. That's a lot of genuine motivation to do the job right. Save yourself headaches and frustration when you are ready to sell--call a professional real estate agent.
