8.8/ 10
Very good
Recommended without reservation
The most heavily-reviewed solo agent working Lakeville, with two decades of hyper-local, mid-market resale experience behind the numbers.
Pros
- ✓214 reviews at a 5.0 average on Birdeye — an unusually deep, independently verifiable review base for a solo agent
- ✓23 years working from a Lakeville office, not commuting in from another suburb
- ✓98.6% average list-to-sale ratio and an 87-day average market time suggest disciplined pricing
- ✓Comfortable across property types: new construction, condos, townhomes and hobby farms
- ✓Sizeable existing social/video following adds extra marketing reach to listings
Cons
- ✗Solo practitioner — no named team to lean on if he's already juggling multiple clients
- ✗Documented sold range tops out under $1M; not the pick for true luxury or estate-level listings
- ✗"#1 on Google" and follower-count claims come from his own marketing rather than an independent ranking
Agent overview
Tom Sommers has worked out of a Coldwell Banker Realty office on Cedar Avenue in Lakeville for 23 years, building a 214-review, 5.0-average record on Birdeye that's unusually large for a solo South Metro agent. His trailing five-year sales cluster between $210K and $980K with a 98.6% average list-to-sale ratio, pointing to a disciplined, high-volume generalist rather than a luxury specialist.
Core specialties
Single-family resale
The bulk of his recent track record — 54 sales over five years — is traditional single-family homes between $210K and $980K, the core of Lakeville's resale market.
New construction & hobby farms
Listed specialties also include new construction, condos, townhomes and hobby farms, covering Lakeville's mix of new subdivisions and larger acreage lots.
Commission & fees
Not publicly listed; typically negotiable
Who this agent is for
Sellers who want a long paper trail
A 214-review history on a third-party platform is hard to fake and hard to match locally, if that kind of proof matters more to you than a team brand.
Buyers/sellers in the $200K-$1M range
His documented sales cluster squarely in this band, which covers most of Lakeville's resale activity.
Not for
Buyers or sellers targeting true luxury or estate properties well above $1M, where his track record doesn't reach.
Verdict
A well-documented, low-risk choice for a typical Lakeville resale — the review volume does a lot of the vetting for you, though remember you're hiring an individual, not a team.
Score: 8.8 / 10 · Very good
