He makes this process as effortless as possible for his clients so they can focus their energies on the important element of living well in a wonderful new home. Emphasizing utility and function, as well as that sense of magic that happens when you discover your ideal home, Thomas achieves outstanding results through hard work, tenacity, and a sense of humor. Prior to joining the Platinum family, Thomas was the owner and managing broker of his own company for seven years, covering a wide range of services including residential leasing, sales, and commercial real estate transactions. Thomas prioritizes client satisfaction by utilizing his keen knowledge of real estate, efficient work ethic, and ability to listen.

Thomas is a resident of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. He has a background that includes experience as a stockbroker on Wall Street and several years as a fashion publicist. Thomas ultimately arrived at the conclusion that as much as he may appreciate an in-the-money options contract or the cut of a Vivienne Westwood topcoat, it is the New York City real estate market with its blend of the historic and the modern that speaks to him. When not working, Thomas is a long-distance runner who enjoys racing with his four-year-old daughter. She insists that she can outrun him to the top of the mountain, where a unicorn will be waiting with a plate of rainbow cakes.
