What Our Clients Are Saying

Our buy-side firm has worked on three deals with Tambay. Tom and Kristin were a delight to work with each time. Tom brings years of knowledge and experience, but you still get the care and attention you can only get by working with a local team with deep roots in Tampa Bay.
