I have been a full time Realtor on Oahu since 2007. I specialize in assisting investor clients from all over the world achieve their investment goals with commercial and residential properties. As a US Army Veteran and relocation specialist, I also enjoy helping military families with their real estate needs. With a highly successful track record, my professionalism, commitment to client service, and market knowledge has consistently earned awards throughout my career. I was born and raised in Iowa and have gained a great deal of insight into the unique characteristics of Oahu's neighborhoods since moving to Oahu for military service in 1995. I credit the great experience I had with my first real estate purchase to my Realtor at that time. I strive to provide that same pleasant experience to each of my clients. Prior to my commitment as a real estate professional, I honed my customer service, financial analysis, sales & marketing, and negotiation skills at Bank of Hawaii, General Electric, Frito Lay, and the US Army. I utilize the knowledge, experience, and lessons learned at those industry leading organizations to help my clients succeed in achieving their real estate goals. My clients, in all price ranges and property types, rely on me for my experience, attention to detail, care, and confidentiality. I believe strongly in giving back to the community. I'm a volunteer instructor at the Hawaii Home Ownership Center, a regular donor at the Blood Bank of Hawaii, and regularly donate to other community organizations.

Ive known Tom for many years as a personal friend, so when my partner and I were finally ready to buy our first home, it felt incredibly reassuring to have someone I already trusted guiding us through the process. I have always known that Tom was thoughtful, ethical, and genuinely had our best interests at heart. What surprised me was how often other real estate agents mentioned how respected Tom is in the industry. More than once, we heard unsolicited comments about his integrity and professionalism, which definitely helped during negotiations and made us even more grateful to have him on our side. Throughout the entire process, Tom was always a great listener. He never tried to steer us toward any particular direction, but always offered honest, practical advice and shared his experience. He also reminded us (many times) not to settle just because the house-hunting process can be exhausting- advice I'm very thankful for now. We looked at a lot of houses, and I sometimes felt guilty asking Tom to meet us at yet another showing. But he was endlessly patient and always encouraged us to keep looking so we could be confident in our choice. Weve been in our home for a little over a year now, and I'm still so happy with where we landed. Toms patience, kindness, and confidence made the entire experience feel manageable. I truly cant imagine a better realtor and would recommend him without hesitation every time.

This was our first home, and we could not have been happier. The market in Hawaii is tough, and interest rates don't help. Tom had us meet with a few loan officers to ensure we found someone who not only understands our finances but also knows the best programs for our situation. Tom's knowledge of every neighborhood we looked at was spot on with the vision we had. Thank you, TOM!!!

Tom is great to work with. He knows the market very well. Honolulu is a complex market with lots of options for different areas and different buildings. There is a lot to know and learn about each area and building. Tom has a great understanding of all of this and will save you lots of time cutting through all of this information. He is also very detailed in his approach to having everything lined up for a successful and speedy closing. (from condo docs to sellers disclosures) This is so important!!
Tom very efficiently helped me sell my condo mostly remote. He took alot of time making sure I understood what was happening and when during the entire selling process.

My family and I have had the pleasure of working with Tom for many years, and throughout this time, he has consistently delivered outstanding results. Toms unwavering honesty, integrity, and professional assistance have always given us peace of mind. His exceptional communication skills ensured that we were always informed and confident in every step of the process. In our most recent transaction, I was especially grateful for Toms help. Living overseas, I had complete confidence that everything was being taken care of, thanks to Toms diligent and reliable service. I highly recommend Tom to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled real estate agent.
