Thomas Handschiegel

Thomas lives by the David Ogilvy quote, “Where people aren’t having any fun, they seldom produce good work” — a philosophy that informs his approach to working in New York City real estate.

Before joining Platinum Properties, Thomas ran his own brokerage, managing residential leasing, sales, and commercial transactions across Brooklyn and Manhattan. His background also includes experience as a stockbroker on Wall Street and as a fashion publicist, giving him a unique blend of analytical discipline and creative instinct.

At Platinum, Thomas leads business development, driving strategic growth, building key partnerships, and equipping the firm’s agents with the tools to thrive in New York City’s competitive real estate market. A firm believer in the art of the cold call, he regularly hosts hands-on training sessions that sharpen agents’ skills and reinforce the fundamentals of proactive, relationship-driven brokerage.

Outside the office, Thomas enjoys day trading and is always in pursuit of the perfect New York slice. His current favorite is Luigi’s in South Slope.
