Outcomes, not adjectives.

"They told us this would work in 90 days. It worked in 60." Dr. Patricia R.

Every business below came to ReadTomato™ with a different version of the same problem: they were the best option in their market, but the wrong people were getting found first. Below is what changed once we fixed that, in their words. No edits, no spin, just the outcome.

We have been dealing with Tomato since 2007. They built our first Real Estate blog site for us and have been working with them since then. We just had a total remodel of our website completed by Jim and his crew. Couldn’t have asked for anything more than they did for us. Moving thousands of blog pages over to our new website, and they did it in an efficient way that also worked well for the search engines. If you want things done right, you want the crew from the Tomato.

Hey Jim, our website looks amazing. Yahoo!!! You guys have done an amazing job, and I am looking forward to the blogging to raise our ranking. YOU GUYS ROCK!! It's rare to find a partner that delivers on every promise, but they have. The work has more than paid for itself in new business.

I highly recommend working with Jim and his team. Our experience (here at Beth’s Biscotti) has been phenomenal. We came to Jim to help us build our unique brand, help share our story, and our mission. Simply put, Jim got it. Jim was an asset by helping us frame our story in a very compelling way so that we could truly reach our target audience. Total bonus, he has a fantastic, unique value (aka, gift) re the creative side. Not only can he do all the tech back-of-the-house stuff, but his creativity for both content and tying-in our branding to the website has been outstanding!

Beth Edwards

Our old website was just not performing. It was too generic and dated looking. We knew from our first conversation with Jim that we were about to experience something special. His approach was to immediately explore what our goals with a new website were. Who are we targeting? What challenges are they looking to solve? What are our strengths? It was so refreshing to approach designing a website from the perspective that it is a tool to truly help our clients understand how we can best serve them. The design process was just as impressive. All our wish list items were delivered, on time and with a smile. Highly recommend working with Tomato. Their approach and system are impressive.

The evolution of social media changed forever the way any company, especially small business markets to prospects and clients. Choosing the right website developer/SEO expert is crucial. Case in point…Immediately after getting my salesperson real estate license in 2011, I decided to build StLousPremierlofts.com myself. Over the years I would add a few tweaks just to keep it somewhat fresh. I did this to always have a back up plan in the event our main website, highrises.com, were to be sold. That day came in May of 2021. I immediately began searching for a professional real estate website designer to completely revamp and update StLouisPremierLofts.com. My search produced hundreds, if not thousands of web developers, yet only a few met my criteria for understanding and potentially delivering on my end design. I interviewed several until I met Tomato and their Founder and CEO, Jim Cronin. Right from the start Jim listened with a deft ear absorbing my vision for the site. He asked probing questions and pushed me hard to clearly communicate what I expected. The overarching vision had to be clear and expectations set to create the site I wanted. Once we agreed on the end product, Jim and his team jumped into high gear and our efforts began redesigning the entire look and feel of the site. It didn’t take long for me to understand that what I was doing to just tweak the site over the years paled in comparison to what Jim and his team were delivering. Very quickly we saw our SEO and engagement on the new site grow rapidly. It only took a few months before I was receiving e-mails from Google notifying me we had reached another goal. It was then that I sat back and realized what a great decision I had made when deciding upon Tomato. I learned the importance of impressions on the web and how critical it was to get as many clicks to the site as possible. Once on the page the content and presentation was crucial to direct and personal connection with prospects, soon-to-be clients. Since going live I have referred several other Realtors to Jim resulting in the same outcome I experienced. Without question Tomato understood my vision and far exceeded my expectations. Their continued support and guidance confirms my decision to use them to this day.

Awesome work! The writing is 10/10 and just flawless, kudos to the team! Whatever I've needed, they figured it out and made it happen quickly. Looking forward to many more years of working together. I'd recommend their team to anyone serious about growing their business online.

Chris Culver

I am very pleased with all 5 of the websites your team built for us (2023). What’s even more exciting however is the blogging already brought us in 2 new clients, both for an annual commitment. That’s about $100K in just the first month. How great is that?!

Dennis Stamey

Jim and his team at the Tomato are amazing. SO fun and easy to work with. Jim is over the top knowledgeable and make it all make sense. I love our new site and do other people which is the most important part. We have enjoyed working with Tomato so much, we are working with him with other services he offers and having him build other sites we need. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jim Cronin and Tomato for anything they offer!

Billi Gartman

AnnaMariaLife.com

Highly recommend. They were able to achieve results that thousands of dollars and several other companies could not. They listened, which is a lost art in the business world. With a complete rebranding and website they have achieved a result that directly increased our bottom line. Thank you does not sufficiently express our appreciation.

Joe Tatum

Wonderful experience with the entire Tomato team! I used them for 7 websites and all of them came out beautiful. The team worked diligently to create a high-end product that is sure to deliver great results for us. We have already seen an increase in inbound leads in the short amount of time since the new sites launched. I highly recommend Tomato!!

I discovered Tomato when I came upon a Realtor’s branded website that left a lasting impression on me. Following my initial contact with the owner, Jim Cronin, I decided to engage his services for the enhancement of my website. Jim’s profound understanding of the real estate industry, a crucial factor for me, became even more impressive as he seamlessly integrated my interior design firm into the same website, a feat not easily accomplished. Collaborating with Jim as he expertly navigated the project, we successfully created a top-tier website that exceeded my expectations. Over the past few years, Jim has consistently improved and updated my website, demonstrating his commitment to enhancing its performance. Whenever I reach out with requests for changes, Jim responds promptly with a simple “DONE!” I encourage you to visit my website to witness the remarkable work, and if you desire a professionally tailored website by the end of the year, I wholeheartedly recommend contracting Jim’s services at Tomato.

You are the BEST as always!!! I will absolutely keep working with them, and I'll refer everyone I know. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they've made me look great. If you're on the fence about hiring them, just call them, you won't regret it.

You gave me the best advice I’d ever gotten in my business. And I’ve taken it to heart ever since. You told me to learn wordpress inside and out. The company I have built on that advice alone has made all the difference in my life. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they've made me look great.

Jim from Tomato was an incredible asset when it came to building my website. As someone who had never built a website before, I was overwhelmed with the process, but Jim was patient, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. He was always available to answer any questions that I had, and his expertise helped me make informed decisions about the design and functionality of my website. He took the time to explain everything to me in detail, ensuring that I understood each step of the process. His guidance and support were invaluable, and I am grateful for all of his help. I would highly recommend Jim and the Tomato team to anyone looking to build a website for their business. Check out our Cottonwood Heating and Air website.

I’ve been meaning to write you guys a review for a while now… but with how well the website is working we’ve just been too busy =). Seriously, the site is just fantastic. It is a huge asset to our listing presentations, and our sellers love seeing their homes on it. Our leads from the site are locking in incredible luxury deals. It’s wonderful. And Google is just loving the site as well.. SEO has gone through the roof. Now we’re looking forward to having your team do all our targeted blogging, we’re so excited. Thanks again Tomato!

If you are looking for a copywriting partner that does ALL the heavy lifting, look no further than Tomato. We’ve thrown some difficult topics at them and they deliver in spades. The content has been incredibly well researched, thorough, and professionally written. We have also been using content on topics that they suggested which proves their dedication and interest in our business. Other than a quick look over each article, we’ve just been able to sit back and watch them do their thing, week after week. To anyone needing excellent blog articles for their website, let these guys do it. They’re amazing.

Claudia Splinter

Jim, I’ve been meaning to write and tell you how completely delighted I have been with my experience at RET. I took a total leap of faith by signing up although I confess that the tone of the website resonated with me as completely genuine. The training, level of expertise, and especially the follow-up have more than surpassed expectations. I believe that the tomato grads are truly a like-minded group of fruits of the vine, and I feel I have made friends with people who for all intents and purposes are strangers. It’s like a family. Molly continues to be the voice of reason, information, and encouragement which cannot be underestimated. What a cat! Jim and gang, you’ve built something wonderful. Be proud and go forth ‘fruitfully.’ **UPDATE: Last year I had a great many bouquets tossed my way on the subject of thegoldcoaststandard.com. I have gotten lots of leads and even monetized the site when someone saw a post on a Facebook feed. That resulted in a $900K sale. Yesterday, I got a call directly from someone who saw the blog, subscribed, and felt what I had to say surpassed the other Darien real estate bloggers out there. In fact, he made it a point to say that he thought the other sites were too busy talking about themselves and not offering content with value. Today I met with this client, and his listing will be worth $2 million. The Tomato has always taught us to place content above all else, and you are right. If I never get another dollar from blogging, I know now the truth of what you preach. Grow it, and they will come.

Karen Brewer

Jim, I learned everything I knew from reading the Tomato blog and decided to contract with them to design a ‘real’ blog site for me. I just calculated that in the time that I have been blogging, I can attribute almost $10,000,000 (that’s TEN MILLION DOLLARS) in real estate sales volume directly to my blogging presence. Thanks to Jim, Rob, Chris, Jason, and the rest of The Tomato gang for making my site, educating me, and supporting my needs over the years (and of course answering ALL of my dumb questions, too!). You’re a great team to be in business with!

I have had my domain name since 2005. I did not know anything about websites back then, but I had one. Needless to say, it wasn’t producing any results. I started thinking, ‘why am I throwing money away on something that doesn’t work,’ so I took it down. One day while listening to a podcast I heard this person say, ‘don’t pay someone else for their real estate, create your own.’ That got me thinking and I thought why couldn’t I create a website that is competitive? In 2014 I went online and found this company with a weird name called Tomato. I reached out to Jim and thought $2800.00…..seriously, who in their right mind would spend this kind of money on a website? I decided to jump in headfirst and spend the money. Best investment I ever made! That opened up a completely new world for me. I took advantage of the ten hours of training that they offered but did not stop there. I went on to take some online classes, Achieving Top Search Engine Positions, Creating WordPress Websites II, Advanced Web Page Design and Advanced CSS3 and HTML5. I also learned a little about Java Script and PHP. I figured I would leave the Tomato nest and go out on my own. What I discovered is a much deeper appreciation for what Jim and his team do. I also wondered why he was selling his sites so inexpensively. I learned this stuff gets REALLY deep, involved and time-consuming. I learned if I really wanted to create an awesome site I had to learn some more (I was done learning). I also learned that you could waste a lot of money on freelancers who claim to know what they are doing. Trust me, many of them knew less than I did. After straying off course…..I’m back, in the Nest! Jim has created what I think is a masterpiece. Of course, I am talking about my website. I know I was a pain in his backside but we achieved what I was looking for. Not only that, Jim is a stand-up guy. His only fault is that he is a Patriots fan. I am willing to overlook that as long as he keeps my site up and running. I have called and emailed Jim a million times and I have the emails to prove it. He always jumps on what I need and want done. I am hesitant to refer him in my market because I want my competition to stay with their cheap template websites. I am a little more knowledgeable today than I was in 2014 and you cannot beat Tomato’s product for the money. I spoke to other companies and they wanted a lung and your first-born child. Great Job Tomato!

Tomatoes, A thank you for all the support, design work, etc. A package came for me today, thought it was a book I had ordered and forgotten. Instead, it was a plaque, CentersAndSquares.com won the Best Blog 2011, Individual Agent from the Massachusetts Assoc. of Realtors. I am thrilled and can’t thank you enough, my Tomato blog was the best thing I’ve done for my real estate career!

Elizabeth Bolton

I have an awesome new website that I am very pleased with. It replaced an outdated, not mobile-friendly site I had for over 10 years. The new site looks great and is very functional. Jim with Tomato took my vision for my site and made it a reality. The site is huge, and finally, we are up and running. I chose to do the monthly hosting with support. Thank you for all the hard work. I appreciate it and highly recommend Tomato to any agent looking for a new website or to make their site better.

I just wanted to say thanks to you for your awesome work so far! I just got a $1,350,000.00 home into escrow because of your suggestion on a blog post as well as all of the content that we have all done together on the new website you built. My new client told me the reason why she hired me was that I was clearly the local expert after she read the blog article about The Howard Hughes Corporation post that we did. This is really a huge deal for me since prior to this year I have never been able to get into this price point at all.

Michael Bondi, REALTOR

Jim and the team created the site that was just right for our organization. Creative, attentive, and professional! I recommend their services to anyone considering a website for their real estate needs. Best decision I've made for my business in a long time.

Dennis Stamey-Lucas

What attracted me to Jim at Tomato was they had the best looking realtor websites I had ever seen. When we started the process he had a very efficient process for getting my requirements and then he did what I love, he did a better job than what I imagined. Its always great when a vendor does more than you expect. He has continued to be very responsive to any requests I have and I always get compliments on my website.

Nathan Fierman

Jim and Co. designed a beautiful website for me. Worked with me every step of the way asking for my input. I live in South Florida so I wanted my site to represent the colors and the sites that make people want to move here. It’s bright, photos of the beach, scuba divers, fishing, it’s informative and Jim was great to work with. I still call him and he drops what he’s working on and helps me out. I highly recommend Tomato for anyone looking for a Great Designer!

Jill Sivert

Greg Anderson

I have created 2 websites with Tomato. Worked on a tight deadline with no problems. They trained me on everything I needed to run the site after building it was complete. People rave about the look & hear nothing but compliments. It's rare to find a partner that delivers on every promise, but they have.

Tara Hughes

Jim has been great throughout the whole time that we have had our website with him. From the very beginning when we were just in the early stages of development, up until now with everything running smoothly, Jim has been incredible to work with. The website looks amazing and functions perfectly. Anytime we need to update anything he is right on top of it and it gets done instantly. I highly recommend Tomato!

Best thing I ever did. I will absolutely keep working with them, and I'll refer everyone I know. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they've made me look great. If you're on the fence about hiring them, just call them, you won't regret it.

Christina Ward

After comparing prices and quality, Jim and the Tomato was by far the best option. They built us a fully customizable real estate website in a timely manner for 1/3 of the price of other competitors. He was helpful throughout the entire process and always available to answer any questions. Highly recommend Jim and Tomato!

Mario Chirino

We worked with Jim Cronin on our new website and it was such a smooth process. He approaches it with great ease and if not for us slowing it down it would have been a rather fast process. Thank you to Jim and the Tomato! If you're on the fence about hiring them, just call them, you won't regret it.

Kevin Atkins

I had a vision of how good I wanted the site to look, and I didn’t know if they would be able to match my expectations at their price range. My wife actually told me there is no way they will do a good job at that price range. Not only did they do what I wanted, but they did it better and they didn’t charge me any extra. The new site It’s so good and so clear and so powerful that I’m getting a lot more business and interest. I’m so satisfied with their work that I’m building another site with them. I give them a 100 out of 100.

Carlos Dinares

Jim quickly understood my vision, bringing my old blogging site up to current style and standards. He was amazing at helping me to transform my site into something that clearly and concisely communicates exactly what I wanted. Working with Jim was such a pleasure and he and his team created an incredible website that I am super proud of. It was a lot of fun working with him! Highly recommend it. You’ll get more than your money’s worth.

Christine Rich

Jim and his team are fantastic in making such a foreign process so easy and user-friendly when it comes to web building and web design. His ability to understand the needs of the client and apply it to design is really what sets him apart. I have battled for over a decade to have a website that I actually liked and functioned well and not only do I have that now but Jim made it the easiest of any other overhauls I have ever done. I cannot recommend Tomato enough!

Zack Torrey

I don’t know who you have working in support but they just did a fantastic job for me with our creedrealty.com site…very responsive! The work has more than paid for itself in new business. I will absolutely keep working with them, and I'll refer everyone I know.

Thanks again for being the single most positive impact on my real estate career. I generate at least 90% of all my business from the website and blog. It’s amazing. I will absolutely keep working with them, and I'll refer everyone I know. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they've made me look great.

LakeMartinVoice.com

A company this good and talent this exceptional should not be held a secret even though I feel like I hit a pot of gold and want to keep the good fortune to myself! My experience with Tomato has turned a dreaded chore into a true pleasure. First, the organization in which Jim goes about guiding you down the journey into the real world of websites and technology is brilliant and easy. Step by step he asks, teaches, informs, and guides you to first understand your vision and then, to be able to express that vision to him. Jim then creates your website expressing the personality, tone, and vibe of your Company or service. Important to note too is that Jim will make suggestions to better consider if you begin to get off course, which is backed by his years of experience. He is artistic, easy to work with, actually even fun to work with because he truly loves what he does and it shows in his results. Thank you so much for creating a beautiful website that stands out among the thousands!

Jennifer Mitchell

Tomatoes are top-notch! I just completed a re-design of my website which is the second we’ve done together. They are always so responsive and on top of it. The website is beautiful. I loved that they really helped me to dial into what the goal of the site is and who my ideal customer is. It has helped me focus my business and focus on my ‘dream clients,’ while building the dream website to engage with them. Thank you, Tomato! I’m a raving fan for the second time around.

I just put up a new site with RET. I tried a few different IDX options and really tested their tech support over the last few weeks. I’m sure they had a few choice names for me at times. All I can say is Thank-you to Tomato you are a first-class operation.

Jim, When I first came to the Tomato I knew next to nothing about websites and blogging. Thanks to you I now feel like a blogging and SEO expert! I’ve had great success generating leads from my website and blog and my blog ranked on the first page of Google after only 3 months. I would definitely recommend your services to anyone looking to build a website that is functional, SEO friendly and reasonably priced. All of you have been wonderful but I wanted to especially acknowledge Chris Hotz for his efforts and for going above and beyond on my project. He is truly an asset to your operation. Thanks again and feel free to give out my website as an example of what you can get when you work with the Tomato.

Tomatoes, Well, I’m now #1 on PAGE ONE of Google!!! I wanted to target people moving to the area, for relocation. If you key in the search phrase “Moving to Sherwood” guess who you’ll see? That’s right, ME and my rockin’ Tomato blog! I passed up our state’s biggest newspaper, The Oregonian’s blog, Oregon Live! I just NOW googled Sherwood Neighborhoods and our Tomato community page it #1 on the FIRST PAGE OF GOOGLE for the term Sherwood Neighborhoods! I’m so glad to see this progress, thank you for all your help! Can I just say “YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!” THANK YOU Tomato for all the training and my new site that I keep falling in love with that keeps on growing!

Amber Gardner

Jim, Just so you know, I honestly can’t describe in words what you have done for us and our business. Without you, we would have no websites or backend platform for our agents as we do today. Everyone in our company recognizes this fact. Our system (and that is what it truly is) has done more for us than we ever imagined. I can’t begin to imagine what kind of system we would have ended up with if we hadn’t found you. Honestly, we couldn’t be any happier with what you have provided us. Your response time back to us for all of our inquiries (and you know there were a lot) was just the icing on the cake. I will have beer(s) with you before I die because these sites you built will be setting up my retirement in the next year:-) LOL.

Eric Israel

One of the best things I have done to increase my business in the last two years was to get a tomato blog and continue to blog on a regular basis. I will absolutely keep working with them, and I'll refer everyone I know. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they've made me look great.

Jill Wente

I’m coming up on my second anniversary with The Tomato and wanted to say ‘thanks’ for everything that your group has done to help me implement a real estate website that I’m really proud of. My site complements all other aspects of my marketing, and it generates business on its own. It has paid for itself many times over. Initial design and training got me up and running, but the fantastic community and continuous support of your staff have been the primary drivers of my site’s success. More than that, for me, learning how to create a great, online resource for home buyers and sellers through my site has made me a much more informed and more effective real estate agent. This was an unexpected benefit of being part of your community. And for that, I say “Thanks!

Bruce Lemieux

I am a person of the Boomer generation who does not look at internet marketing as second nature. I hired The Tomato to teach me first about blogging, and second how to use the internet to market myself as a Realtor. Chris was my initial teacher, and not only was he patient with me, he had the ability to talk to me in normal layman’s terms while he educated me on the technical details. Not only that, he challenged me to become proficient at blogging, and to keep going with more learning. I owe a debt of gratitude to Chris and the Tomato, and I have been able to monetize my internet business with the techniques I learned. Use Chris’s expertise with my strong recommendation.

Joe Pryor

JoePryor.com

I had learned about Tomato from a Top Producing Realtor that was a guest speaker at our office recently. She doesn’t work for Tomato, but she attributes a great amount of her success to the website Tomato created for her. I’ve been a Realtor for 19 years, and have had a website much of that time. It never was a source of lead generation for me, it was just “there”. It’s been great working with Jim and his team, and to have hands-on input on the creation of my website. Chris is my trainer and has unlimited patience to guide me (that’s huge, as I’m not very tech-savvy), how to implement all the site can do for me, such as writing blogs, having IDX links for visitors to view the MLS on their own, and lead generation tools that actually work. I used to cringe when it came to working on the computer, and now I actually look forward to my weekly phone call from Chris, who keeps me on track and gently nudges me to ‘add more content, write more blogs’! I think my website is DYNAMIC now! I have even had two leads generated from it, in the month I’ve had it up and running. Tomato ROCKS!

Jim , I just want you to know how much I enjoy being part of the Tomato. I’m almost done with my training which has been first class. Working with Chris and the design staff during the first few months was an outstanding experience for me as well. I am very excited about what I think it is going to do for me both personally and professionally.

We are thrilled at the absolutely beautiful job you and the team have done in taking our blog site to a whole new level. We really can’t say enough about the level of excellence you all have put into our blog site. From the recrafted design (which we all think is stunning), to the attention to detail, to the level of professionalism and subject matter knowledge, to the responsiveness of your team… the whole package has been superb. We also appreciate the emphasis on really educating and empowering your clients. This is what really great organizations do. On top of it all, you and your team are great fun to work with! (Kenny, Chris H., and the team… all just terrific). Anyone who is looking for a great blog would be well advised to look carefully at the incredible track record of Tomato. You all are the best in the business! Many thanks for a job more than well done!

Jim, I am on page one of Google for ‘honolulu real estate.’ Your coaching and guidance are showing great results. I'd recommend their team to anyone serious about growing their business online. The whole crew has been responsive, creative, and a real pleasure to work with.

Today, I am happier now, with my decision to join the Tomato Nation, than when I first signed up (and I was elated back then). My only regret is that I didn’t sign up months (or years) earlier. With any other website, you pay, you get a design, and then you’re off on your own. With Jim and his team, it’s such a well-organized, finely tuned process that it’s now so obvious why the Tomato Nation has become the cream of real estate’s blogging crop. I REALLY appreciate all the advice, suggestions, patience, encouragement and hand-holding. Plus the professionalism, reliability and responsiveness. As you might be able to tell, I’m in a bit of a euphoric state right now. I feel like I now have a solid blogging foundation and a good understanding of how this whole blogosphere thing works, something that I’m sure 99.8% of my colleagues will never enjoy. So thanks Jim, Chris, Jason and the rest of the people behind the scenes who I’ve never ‘met.’ You’ve developed a one-of-a-kind product and system, worth every penny of it and then some!

My head is reeling from how much business this blog is generating for me. At least 5 real deals this year so far. It has been amazing! Thanks, (And this just in from Lori) Hi Jim, I hope you are well. I just wanted to tell you that on Monday I will be listing a $729,900 property that 100% came from my blog. The owners are avid readers and ‘commenters.’ I emailed one of them to let her know I was, in fact, a Realtor and would be happy to help her sell her home. I could not have a more dedicated client. They have so much confidence in me because of what they’ve learned about me by reading my blog every day. Last month it was just a $355,000 listing, which sold in 2 weeks. This month it’s a $729K listing. That doesn’t include at least 4 new buyers. All DIRECTLY from my blog. A million dollars of business, that’s a nice commission. Pays for a Tomato! You have no idea how well this is working for me so I thought I’d share. THANK YOU!!!!

Wanted to let you know how much people like your stuff!!! I get compliments all the time on the look and feel of the website. I am thrilled. I just checked and I AM ON PAGE ONE FOR CAMBRIDGE REAL ESTATE!!! Happy day!!! Hurrah!!! All this blogging, commenting, etc., until the middle of the night is working. Anyways, thank you all. I love my website and so appreciate all your help and work.

I’ve had a great year blogging and constantly get compliments on my site, but best of all I get amazing traffic and lots of quality leads. I will absolutely keep working with them, and I'll refer everyone I know. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they've made me look great.

After listening to Jim for five minutes, I knew he and his organization were the ONLY ones to hire to help create my blog and take my business to the next level. After just a few months, I know I made the right decision. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they've made me look great.

I searched long and hard for a website company that would design a WordPress platform site for me. My problem was that all of the website development companies didn’t have a clue or the experience in developing a non-traditional ‘community site for a Realtor.’ That was until I found Jim Cronin and his company Tomato. Not only did he have a company that designed great real estate websites, but his company offers services to teach you how to utilize your site to increase your real estate business through great blogging and getting connected in the social media world. The Tomato team skillfully implemented the design that I envisioned for Fountain Hills Up Close. I am totally thrilled with how it turned out. That, of course, was not the end of my business with Tomato. I am now in the second phase of our relationship and am learning the ins and outs of good blogging. I feel strongly that having this knowledge will increase my business twofold. I want to say thanks to Jim for personally staying on top of things, Andrew for turning my vision into something real, and Chris for teaching me all the things I need to know about writing a great post for my blog. Tomato, you are a company that delivers.

TJ Harris

FountainHillsUpClose.com

Jim has blown me away again. I just gave him some quick bullet point or big rock ideas of what I wanted this site to do for me, how it would work in my business and who the target audience was and he came up with not only an awesome site design, but perfect calls to action, new logos, and taglines that I can use in all my marketing. Truly awesome! His clean, clear, simple design and the laser focus value proposition he created for me makes me look pretty smart. LOL! I didn’t make a single change form his original artwork.

Hi Jim, You did it, man! I have to tell you, I was on the fence about saying goodbye to my existing website for a blog but it’s been the best thing I have done for my real estate career in a long time. Not only has it been an extremely effective tool right out of the chute but I freakin’ love blogging! It’s my new hobby! I woke up early to blog! I’m a blogger and I’m loving every minute of it! Suffice it to say, you guys are the real deal and I owe you, Chris Hotz, and the whole Tomato crew a big thank you for making me an armed and dangerous blogger. Keep up the good work!

Jamie Coulter

Chris/Jim, et al, Wanted to say a big thanks to everyone for helping me get things accomplished on my website: TheShortSaleAgent.com. With your help, I’ve got a destination that has already landed me 2 listings in the first week. I appreciate all the assistance you have given and consider the purchase an absolute steal for what it will bring me! Please let me know if you ever need a testimonial, and I will certainly be sending everyone I know to your business who needs like-kind services.

Jim, The blog looks beautiful! BTW, very nice job with the Tomato, everyone has been really great, smart, and responsive. The Tomato is everything you said it would be and more! Thanks so much for your help getting us started! This blog is going to make a big difference allowing us to start and nurture a conversation with our clients! We have had a great ride so far.

Fantastic. Truly. I am very pleased that I found Tomato and Jim! I searched high and low… The whole crew has been responsive, creative, and a real pleasure to work with. It's rare to find a partner that delivers on every promise, but they have. The work has more than paid for itself in new business.

Kevin Churchill

Jim and his colleagues at The Tomato designed an excellent professional real estate website for me (MyMcClellanville.net) using my requirements and preferences and their years of experience and creativity. They have been there for me every step of the way and taught me how to get the most out of the site and provide the best results for my clients. They have helped me create my website and get it to the first page SEO in a few short months. He is an expert in his field and the entire blogging community looks up to him. Thanks for the great service that you provide and making my business soar!

I get feedback. I get at least one email a day just to thank me for what I’m doing. I can’t go anywhere in my market area without having total strangers tell me they’ve read me, and will use me ‘someday’. I’m getting referrals from TOTAL Strangers who read me and tell someone at work to read me. They call and say someone sent me to your site, and I have no clue who it is that sent them. EVERY one of my last 15 new listings were ‘come list my house’ calls. EVERY other thing I do that’s not on the internet is only geared at driving traffic to the blog. I have 2 listings in escrow that I’m on both sides of. They didn’t even want to see any listings other than mine. I spend about 2 hours total a day ‘doing the blog’ .. that’s what JJ calls it. ‘Did you do your blog yet?’ I aim for and have with rare exceptions done 3 to 4 posts a day for a year now. I rarely ever write long posts. EVERY one of my last 15 new listings were ‘come list my house’ calls. And Jim and the Tomatoes taught me so much, and fixed or straightened out or re-educated me about what I had been doing wrong. March 5 will be the one year anniversary of veryvintagevegas.com. Without having started to blog then, I think I’d be managing a Burger King about now.

The Fall Blogging Challenge you guys ran got me over $7 Million in Sales that closed from January to June this year. One of the sales was a $1.2 million sale in which I had the buyer and seller, both directly from the blog. That sale was like getting a $70,000 paycheck just for blogging. I can handle that every year! I achieved the #6 individuals for RE/MAX Mountain States that month and earned over six figures for April. Never have I done that before, and I owe it all to blogging. Remax Mountain States is a five-state region. I was stoked!

Steve Beam

Jim and Gang, It was worth every penny for the training that came with my custom blog site AND it gets me more Google juice than any other Internet presence I have now or ever had. I am not sure if that’s because of hosting by Tomato or if it’s due to the training I got from them. It has more than paid for itself in the first transaction, the best marketing investment I ever made. In fact, it’s yielded more closed transactions than all other sources together in my whole career!! AND…. (drum roll please) As of today, Focus on Crofton is now on page one of a Google for Crofton Maryland real estate, from about page 18 or so…all in less than 3 months from launch.” Update: “I am now #2! YOU are the best! THANK YOU! Fast service, perfect results, what more could I ask for? You’re awesome.

Margaret Woda

The original website was put in place in 2016. I then purchased seven to ten hours of additional instruction. The result has been an extraordinary degree of creative control on a flexible WordPress platform that is well supported. Jim is a great teacher. I know what that looks like since I also teach, part-time, at a local JC. You can’t go wrong on a WordPress platform guided carefully, by Jim.

Steve Hurley

SteveHurleyRealEstate.com

I’m really happy with my new site. Jim is super helpful, knowledgeable, and great to work with. He really listened to what I was trying to create and made it happen. Best decision I've made for my business in a long time. Whatever I've needed, they figured it out and made it happen quickly.

Roger Steiner

I have been working with Jim Cronin over at the Tomato for about 7 years now. He is in the process of hammering out a complete website overhaul for us, and I must say that I am THRILLED with the products and the customer service that Jim and his company provide. They have always taken such great care of us.

Mariana Wagner

From an artistic standpoint not only did you get the idea of the look and feel I was after but you have executed it with a lot of aplomb. Responsive, great design, I highly recommend Tomato! Looking forward to many more years of working together. I'd recommend their team to anyone serious about growing their business online.

Steve Hanley

Cannot express how happy we are with our website. Jim took the time to hear out everything we wanted done and was always easily reached via email. We made SO many changes and he was patient and understanding. I work for a plastic surgeon so I know this was different than a real estate web page but he assured me he could do it and it’s perfect. Thank you, thank you!

I can honestly say that my blog with a huge amount of thanks to you and your staff has brought me a ton of business in some really neat and unusual ways. I couldn’t be more pleased or happier with my Front Porch View Blog. I am very proud of it, and will continue to work hard on it. I have gone from just getting by to thriving in a shifting market mostly due in part to blogging and the exceptional training that I received from your team. I closed 2 transactions last month and have one to close this week as a direct result from those who found trust in me through reading my blog. I have to be honest with you, I just recently much to my disappointment purchased an additional ‘traditional’ website thinking I needed one. Boy was I wrong. The Tomato has helped catapult me to the front pages of Google for many popular search phrases. My ONLY expense outside of time and my initial purchase to obtain these heavily sought after results has been absolutely ZERO…nada…..zilch! To anyone reading this: IT WILL BE THE BEST THING YOU HAVE DONE FOR YOUR BUSINESS if you commit and work hard and put to practice all that they will teach you. I know it seems that I might have gone over the top, but that is the least that I could do for them since they did it for me! You will not be disappointed.

Tomato is not only the best real estate Web Developer in today’s age, but they truly care about their clients and conveying the right message to target the desired audience. I have done three websites with Tomato and I had a mental block while developing my latest website/idea and with the solutions that I want to provide to my customers. Then I had an absolutely amazing phone call with Jim and he was able to help me understand my own vision and clear the purpose and solutions behind my idea. I truly had an ‘AHA’ moment! I couldn’t be more excited.

We love Tomato-Jim Cronin and his team have helped keep our website up to date and kept it going without any problems. They are quick to respond to make any changes. I have recommended them to several of my Realtor friends! They’re the best! The work has more than paid for itself in new business.

Suzie Crowe

Jim at Tomato is the best web designer and developer I’ve ever worked with. Having been in the business 17+ years, I’ve researched and used many different companies out there and Tomato is not the cookie cutter, everyone gets the same thing, solution. If you want a highly customized, geared toward your goals website, don’t wait another minute to call them. You won’t be disappointed.

Susan Gardner

FlowertownRealty.com

I can’t thank Jim and his team enough. He took an older WordPress site I had parked on a different server, moved it over to his hosting and made it look awesome! Jim is awesome, he responds to every call, text, and email almost immediately. He makes every change request happen in no time, and communicates it back right away. This is my second go around with Tomato, and I should never have left back in 2012, but when I decided to relaunch the site, Tomato was my first call. Great work Jim!!!

Evan Russell

Jim, thank you for everything. I’d probably be out of real estate if I hadn’t found you (and yes, you can use that as a testimonial). If you're on the fence about hiring them, just call them, you won't regret it. Best decision I've made for my business in a long time.

Kari Lundin

DuplexChick.com

I just got my first phone call, ‘I read your blog and I want you to come list my house.’ I almost passed out but maintained my composure! Best decision I've made for my business in a long time. Whatever I've needed, they figured it out and made it happen quickly.

Tomato is not your ordinary real estate website design company. They really do go the extra mile by taking the consultant role into finding your target audience and tailor your website to reach that audience with the correct message. Every single aspect of the website design is a cohesive message you give to your clients about your business. I can’t tell you enough how much they have helped my business! I recommend Tomato to anyone that wants a hands-on approach and custom website that you will be proud of and your clients and future clients will fall in love with!

Happy newbie. Search ‘homes for sale in Wasaga Beach’ in Google, blog is already number 3 on page 1. We’re just over a month into blogging!” UPDATE: “My blog is easily my main source of clients, and even those that don’t initially contact me through it are very quickly convinced of my ‘expertise’ once I have directed them to WasagaBeachTalking.com. None of this would have been possible without the Tomato. Firstly on the techie side you designed a great blog for me and it’s user friendly. Secondly, once I designed the classes, continuing education has allowed me to make the most of the product. People need to know you are not just ‘web designers.’ You teach us tomatoes how to maximize the online potential out there for us to talk directly to buyers and sellers. You know what? I really enjoy it all. It’s fun and I feel I have made several true friends even if only online in the Tomato world. I tell you it’s better than cold calling, especially knocking on doors when the snow hits up here in Canada. Many thanks!

Jim set up my new blog, and when I say new I mean new (just a week old). I am not technically savvy or internet savvy. I had just been struggling along trying to figure out what I could on my own. Jim is the most patient and knowledgeable teacher and coach I have ever had! My blog is already successful, The biggest blogger in my area is linking to my new stories every day. He got 11 comments on my post about needing a dog park in my town! This morning the big blogger guy in my town linked to my scary Halloween Real Estate Story, and so far, someone already left a comment. I did not expect to have any comments or activity for a long time. Jim has helped me look like a Pro (and believe me I am not!- hardly have a clue what I am doing) He not only knows how to teach, he knows how to teach Real Estate Agents (Very Difficult to Do!) If you want to be successful blogging in Real Estate and you want to learn from the Best and you want to have FUN, Sign up with the Tomato!

Thank You so much. You guys have been so great with your explanations and timely responses. I am so much happier now that you guys are running my site. It is like night and day compared to my old hosting company. Keep up the great job! It's rare to find a partner that delivers on every promise, but they have.

Hey Jim, I just wanted to tell you how much I love my new website. I am adding things weekly and learning a lot. I have to get a lot more done but it is fun! It is exactly what I wanted! The work has more than paid for itself in new business. I will absolutely keep working with them, and I'll refer everyone I know.

FYI, I’ve reached #1 on Google for ‘Clovis Real Estate’ (a feat I didn’t think was humanly possible with all of the huge corporations and real estate companies that use and market for that term), so perhaps you can use me as an example of what’s possible for a tomato blog.

Jim Cronin has started RealEstateTomato.com, a turn-key real estate weblog vendor. All WordPress, and the Tomato is hosting them. I’m not the product endorsing type, but I have a great admiration for what Jim has done with The Tomato. If you’re an agent or other real estate professional looking for a weblogging solution, RealEstateTomato.com looks like a good place to start. Jim Cronin is an excellent teacher, and The Tomato is an excellent teaching website. Update: Jim, here’s the undisputed truth: The weblogs you are producing are beautiful. Up to the owners to rate you on performance, but for look and feel, Tomato Blogs are beyond excellent. So there!

My only choice for my real estate website. Thank you Tomato for all you do for me! You are total rockstars. I truly appreciate you!!! If you think this is wicked, you should know it has loads to do with 100% of nothing... except awesomeness. It's one of the many reasons why you should sign up for the monthly newsletter. It's filled with hard-hitting interviews, DIY marketing hacks and we even have a comic strip.
