About Tom
With over 35 years of experience as a licensed California attorney, Tom primarily works as a listing agent. He is very detail-oriented and will make sure you stay fully informed on all aspects of the process and sale of your home. From getting your home ready to sell, to marketing and negotiating, to navigating any hiccups that may come up during escrow, he provides the confident, steady representation you need to close.
Tom is a "numbers guy" who approaches negotiation with a deep understanding of what his clients want out of a sale—working to fulfill each client's unique goals and get deals across the finish line. His legal background means he can navigate complex contracts and identify potential issues before they become problems, protecting his clients' interests throughout the negotiation and closing process.
Born and raised in Southern California, Tom and Janet raised their two daughters in Temecula before relocating to the Coachella Valley. Since making the desert their home, Tom has developed an intimate knowledge of what makes each community unique—from the golf course properties of La Quinta to the luxury estates of Indian Wells and the vibrant neighborhoods of Palm Desert.
What sets Tom apart is his analytical approach combined with genuine care for his clients. He doesn't just list your home—he develops a strategic marketing plan based on current market data, comparable sales, and your specific goals. Whether you need to sell quickly or want to maximize your sale price, Tom crafts a customized strategy to achieve your objectives.
Tom and Janet have been actively involved in their communities over the years, serving in local schools, helping provide for seniors, and providing college scholarships for local high school graduates. Tom believes in giving back to the communities that have given his family so much.
