      What past clients have said about investing with Tom

      Finding a person in business like Tom is a real treat as they are few and far between. Tom makes sure that each deal is a win-win for each person involved —the individual investing their hard-earned money, the real estate investor who has spent time finding just the right deal to the buyer who is getting a quality home. Tom makes sure that each aspect of the deal is thoroughly researched and expertly executed. Tom shoots from the hip, is so hard working, honest and reliable. Tom truly treats each deal as a partnership, making sure that each participant is taken care of. Tom is the real deal. I would even trust him to invest my own mother’s funds in a deal.

      Tom’s word is GOLD. Tom is honest and trustworthy which makes working with him very easy. Knowing his track-record and the fact that Tom has tremendous integrity has made me feel very comfortable investing my retirement money. Previously I had our retirement money tied up in the stock market, which was gut-wrenching-with all the ups and downs.  It’s been a totally different experience working with Tom and our retirement account is really impressive.

      As a seasoned real estate investor, I have made some good profits from deals in the past, but with private lending, I know what my end profit will be. Engaging in private lending with GCA is a less risky venture than flipping or holding a property. GCA is a company that structures deals in creative ways so that each party is a winner. Working with GCA is a great way to engage in solid deals and not have to spend a lot of time analyzing the deals.
