Knowing the market firsthand : Living and working in the City of Decatur, Thomas specializes in a firsthand knowledge of its unique and ever-evolving market trends. Through the years, he's made it a point to preview homes as they hit the market, identifying opportunities before most others know they exist. When Thomas pulls comparable home sales to help you strategize an offer or negotiate a contract, he has knowledge of both the house and the market, knowing sometimes what's not pictured can be as telling as what is. Fifteen years running a family manufacturing business before joining real estate has taught Thomas that the home you buy or sell should be equal parts smart financial investment and beloved retreat. He applies a data-driven approach so often missing in real estate so you make big decisions just like a business would, confidently knowing Thomas and the numbers have your back. Service is an action word: Though the market has changed since Thomas joined real estate in 2006, his approach to service remains steadily rooted in the personal attention and hard work ethic you'd expect from a history in family-owned businesses. He turns clients into loyal fans who rave about his ability to remember the smallest personal detail and his light-speed response time. He enjoys working with buyers and sellers patiently to ensure they get the time and attention they deserve. Your experience with Thomas doesn't end at the closing table. He's there as a resource and guide with a network of professionals to assist you before, during, and throughout home ownership. Practice what you preach: Given Thomas's commitment to the success of his clients, it's no surprise he's experienced it in his own business as a Top Producer for DeKalb Association of Realtors and Atlanta Board of Realtors.
