Tom Millar: I started my real estate hunt with a loan advisor I had previously dealt with. He is in Ohio, and gave me another realtor's name, but he didn't know her. At the same time, a friend of mine referred me to Tom. When I had the first phone conversation with Tom and his team, it was clear to me that they were it.
His advice on what to upgrade/fix/replace was spot on. It was a large project overall, but he assured to me that it is worth the investment and that I would get the money back at the end. This made it easier for me to go ahead and take care them all, this indeed worked out. I had multiple offers over asking price within days of listing the house. I seriously don't think the result would have been the same without Tom's advice.
Every member of his team was just wonderful.
I couldn't be happier with the result.

Tom Millar: Wow! What else can be said with our experience using Tom Millar as our representation in the sell of our home. Our first experience with Tom is when we purchased a home and Tom was not our agent but was representing the sellers at the time. We noticed how strong he supported the sellers and where very impressed with his style. When we decided to sell and move again we remembered the experience and asked Tom what it might be like if he were to represent us in the sale of our home. From there we really got to know his expertise and he made the entire process so smooth and easy. He did everything for us and even represented us in a temporary rental. I had know idea working with a realtor would be so great! Tom helped us to finalize our house sale well over asking and alleviated us any time we had any concerns. Thanks Tom, You have become a family friend and hope to get to work with you some day in the future!

Tom Millar: His team and folks that worked with us were absolutely outstanding ... from home staging, photographs, coordinating appointments and electronic signing of key documents; best we have worked with.
Experience, knowledge, communication, and professionalism above reproach.
Some issues on buyer side of closing activity delayed buyer closing by three weeks ... and Tom kept us up to date on status and how he was engaged with the right people to get answers.

Tom Millar: Tom was very responsive. His attention to detail was incredible, and he was always reachable by phone or email and went further to check on water issues, mail, etc. I would work with Tom again and recommend him highly to others.
A. Plucknett, Alexandria, 2022
Thomas Millar: Tom was fantastic to work with. He took the time to understand our situation and our goals in selling, and helped guide us in what we needed to do to prepare our house for market. We were able to gather several offers after open house, and close within a week of listing for over full list price. We could not be happier with the outcome working with Tom.

Bill: you are an exemplary realtor. In addition to being an expert in your field you took the time to listen to what we wanted. You respected our wishes and did your best to show them the types of property we were looking for. Even more importantly you offered your insight without overstepping boundaries. Thank you for being so receptive to our needs, answering all our questions, and encouraging us through this sometimes difficult process.

Duncan Ferguson: "Duncan is not only an excellent real estate agent who really knows his business, but also a very nice guy. He made time for us although our request was on very short notice, and he REALLY went out of his way to present lots of properties in different areas, always prepared very well and never pushing us towards a decision. Even after we decided for a new home, he made sure we felt comfortable and got along in the new area. I will recommend Duncan to anybody who is in need of a new home. Thanks again, Duncan!"

Bill Depugh: We did a search for military friendly realtor and Tom's name came up as an Air Force Veteran. I had a bad experience with a [previous] realtor who did not know anything about the military or the process. Tom referred Bill to help us out.
Bill was great to deal with, friendly and very approachable. He was very patient with all the questions we had.
I wish we met Bill sooner in the process. He smoothed everything out and assured us he was in our corner.
Tom was the first guy we met he was great and honest with us. We worked a lot with Mitzie Preuss [in-house lender], she is a true professional. We had a lot of problems with credit and she came through for us in a big way.
Bill Depugh is a great guy a true professional. He was there every step of the way and made things happen. Thank you for everything!!!" -Mike Seaman
[Added Note from Thomas Millar: Bill Depugh was ready to help when I was out of town, and with his own military background, it was a winning combination. Lighthouse Team Real Estate…we are there or you!]
Thomas Millar: Coming back to the VA area, we knew that the market would be challenging, so we asked a friend for a referral. She immediately suggested Tom, and we contacted him to go over our ideas. Since my wife and I work in opposite locations, Tom was outstanding in ensuring we understood traffic patterns that could affect our commute, as well as understanding the pros and cons of each neighborhood/community. After going back and forth for three months, we honed in on two homes which we thought would fit our needs perfectly. As far as the homes, one needed some updating, the other was move in ready.
Tom highlighted to me that while both homes seemed the same, and on the surface the move in ready one seemed perfect, based on his understanding of our family, pets, etc, the other home would be a better choice, even if it meant spending a little time updating it. He was absolutely correct...after the purchase we spent the following weeks getting our home up to specs, and we are absolutely in love with it.
Tom became a trusted agent throughout the process, and we would definitely refer him to our friends and family.

Duncan Ferguson:
"We met Duncan at an open house, after getting to know what we were looking for, he found us a ton of great options and was able to schedule showings that fit our busy schedule. Because of his hard work, we found our home! He was punctual and always quick to reply to questions or get us the information we needed all the way through the application process."

Bill Depugh: I have known Bill for several years and he has always had the highest standards of integrity and genuinely enjoys helping people.
Bill provided very personalized service and support throughout the house hunting and buying process.
Great experience across the board. I would recommend Century 21 New Millennium and Bill Depugh for your home buying needs.
David Morris - Bristow
Tom Millar: is an excellent agent. He is considerate, patient, knowledgeable, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to sell their home in a timely matter.
Terrie Patterson - Ashburn
Tom was excellent! Always willing to follow our lead and seemed to have our best interests at heart. He was extremely patient with us, never seemed frustrated, took our concerns to heart, and always tried to accommodate our schedules for showings. He went above and beyond, particularly from negotiation through closing.
I am in sales and for that reason, I'm very cynical of other sales people. However, I feel Tom is very trustworthy in addition to being great at his job. It's a rarity in the industry and I'm sure his referral business keeps him busy (I was referred by another happy client).
I highly recommend using Tom for purchase or sale of your home or investment property.
Jen - Gainesville
Bill DePugh is a longtime friend of mine and my husbands and we trust him. He is new in the real estate business but is a very driven and hard-working man and I knew he would do everything in his power to sell my property and get the best value for it.
If you are looking for an agent who listens to your needs and works diligently to get them for you, whether it's buying or selling, then Bill DePugh is your man.

Tom Millar: Top notch representative... would recommend his services to anyone looking to sell/purchase a home. Tom was pretty savvy regarding the purchase strategy for initiating the contract for our new home as well as developing the sales strategy for the home we were marketing. He was also extremely patient and helpful in researching and arranging showings for potential properties that met our requirements for a new home. Once the decision to initiate an offer was made, he helped us to negotiate terms for purchase that were advantageous for both us and the sellers. The resources he had available and applied to market the sale of our home were outstanding. No doubt that his experience and know-how were well worth the investment for his services.
Tom and Chantal Apollonio - Centreville
Tom Millar: Throughout our home purchasing experience Thomas Millar was the best! He provided the excellence, professionalism, guidance, understanding and patience that we needed to purchase a great home. We are very satisfied with our new home and the service that we received from Thomas Millar.
Ray and Dana Robertson - Gainesville
Mr. Depugh was very well spoken and very knowledgeable in the areas I was interested in purchasing a home in. I was very impressed by the amount of time he was willing to give to me and my family while we searched for our new home. I recommended Mr. Depugh to several of my co-workers as well as a few family members.
Emmet - Manassas
Thomas Millar did an outstanding job marketing our house and getting us through the settlement process. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends. -Ron and Karen Montagna
Tom Millar was outstanding! He was the only agent that responded to me from multiple property inquiries. We could not have asked for a better, more knowledgeable, more accommodating agent. Tom went over and beyond to help us find our home and we cannot thank him enough. His outstanding abilitites were surely appreciated and we will use him again if the need arises in the future. We will definitely share his name with other people too. We thank you for having such a great agent, but also someone we now consider a friend. Tom was very patient, understanding, knowledgeable, timely, respectful, friendly, etc. Everything listed above. He went over and beyond to help us. He always responded very timely and answered ALL of our questions. He was awesome!
