About Michael Thomas

Real Estate Consultants We serve North Shore & specialize Evanston Expertise Our priorities have always been to give our clients superior service. From first time home buyers to seasoned pro's to some of Evanston's finest builders, our client base is as diverse as the properties we represent. We have experience in the condo, coop, townhouse, single family home, and new construction markets. Although we have sold homes as far north as Highland Park and as far west as Wheaton, we specialize in Evanston. We also assist our clients who are moving out of the area by introducing them to the top agents in other communities around the country. Background Lene has a business degree and formerly worked for Philips Electronics where she was a Project Manager in logistics and marketing. Prior to Michael's career in real estate, he graduated from University of Wisconsin at Madison with a degree in communications. Before combining forces in real estate, we started two successful businesses, The Unicorn Cafe in 1991 and Casteel Coffee (a wholesale & retail coffee roasting company) in 1993, both of which continue to add flavor to Evanston's community. Speaking of community, we are blessed with two daughters - Cecilia and Josephine as well as several other family members who live in Evanston and Chicago. While we're both enthusiastic about real estate, we never forget that it's the relationships that make our hard work rewarding.

Mike and Lene of Thomas Team are well known and respected real estate brokers in Evanston/ NorthShore. They sold my house in 2024 and I'm happy with the total process. Mike and Lene are professionals, understand the RE market and the people they represent. During the listing there was trust, organization, understanding, patience and cooperation throughout the process.

I cannot offer high enough praise for Mike. His knowledge of the market, his informed but non-stressful style, his integrity and desire to ensure that as a buyer I am making the best possible choice for myself is unparalleled. I would work with him again in a heartbeat and have already recommended him to other people. A shout out to his colleague Chaz R as well as they partner together seamlessly and make sure that every question is answered and every need met.

Mike was outstanding in every aspect of selling our condo. He helped us price it right, provided resources to prepare it for sale, virtually staged it and did everything he could to coordinate a smooth transaction. I highly recommend him and will use him again.

We cannot say enough about The Thomas Team. The level of service and expertise Michael and Lene provided was exceptional. From our first meeting to getting the house ready to put on the market, no detail was overlooked. Michael and Lene were always available to answer our questions, provide guidance, and offer insight about the market. They handled all the negotiations with skill and professionalism. Their combined years in the industry make them stand out Realtors. We highly recommend them.

This is our second time working with The Thomas Team. Mike and Lene not only have extensive knowledge of the real estate market in Chicago's North Shore (and specifically Evanston), they also genuinely care about the people behind the transaction. From preparing our home for market, showing the home (open houses and private showings), navigating potential offers, and finally closing, they were a constant source of support and know-how. It was a pleasure to work with The Thomas Team and we whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy in the Chicagoland area!
