“I enjoyed my years listing, selling and leasing property but I enjoy giving back to REALTORS® by assisting them and their clients with transaction questions. Buying or selling a home can be very stressful and if I can assist by removing that stress and making the process a little easier for everyone, then that is a win-win for me.”
By being involved in local and state REALTOR®organizations, Tom has been able to disseminate information not only to agents in his office and company, but the real estate community as well. His professional service to the real estate community include service as President of the Newport Beach Association of REALTORS®, Director of the California Association of REALTORS®, President of Southern California Multiple Listing Service, member of various Multiple Listing Service, Professional Standards and Local Government and Political Affairs committees. Most recently he was appointed President of the Newport Beach Multiple Listing Service and Director of the California Regional Multiple Listing Service (CRMLS).
His designations include: Graduate REALTORS® Institute, Certified Real Estate Broker and e-PRO. Tom’s contribution to his community includes serving on the Board of Directors of the Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce, the Costa Mesa Community Foundation and is past President
of Youth Employment Service.
Graduating from Linfield College, McMinnville, Oregon with a degree in Business Administration, Tom gives back to the college by serving on its Board of Trustees. He also serves on the college’s Executive Committee, Financial Affairs/Facilities Committee and Real Estate Committee.
Steve Jobs once told graduating seniors at a college commencement that they shouldn’t just find a job; they should discover what they are passionate about and earn a living doing it. Tom’s passion is real estate management and it shows in the working relationship he builds with agents and their clients.
