What recent reviews say

Long-standing clients praise Tom Licari's legal expertise and approachable style, especially on complex deals like 1031 exchanges and home purchases. Recent experience from first-time homebuyers tells a different story: failures to communicate possession date changes left them scrambling for temporary housing and U-Haul extensions, while office staff were reported as impatient and dismissive. The gap between repeat clients and newer ones suggests service quality may depend heavily on deal complexity and client experience level.

Worth knowing

Common questions

Does Thomas Licari handle 1031 exchanges?
Yes. Long-term clients report he navigates these complex tax transactions; his website or a phone call can confirm current scope.
What should first-time homebuyers expect?
His strength appears to be complex, repeat transactions. One first-time buyer reported poor communication on critical dates and impatient staff; another report mentions he explains things clearly if you ask.
How responsive is the office to questions during closing?
Mixed. One client's assistant Debbie relayed questions and got replies; another reported difficulty reaching the office for final figures before closing.
