How we work

Knowledge. Trust.
Strategy. Execution.

Most brokers list a building. We underwrite it like we're buying it, price it against what actually closed, and push it to a buyer pool built over twenty years. Then we hold the deal together until it records.

Underwriting

In-place and market numbers side by side. Cap rate, GRM, per-unit, per-SF — before we ever set a price. No aspirational pro formas.

Exposure

Personal e-blasts to 6,000+ investors, Crexi, CoStar, LinkedIn, and every adviser in five Centennial offices presenting your deal to their buyers.

Structure

Seller carry, 1031 timing, SBA owner-user paths, short sales, assemblages. We've closed 27 exchanges personally and 1,000+ firm-wide.

Closing

Estoppels, SB 721, point-of-sale reports, deposit release language — the stuff that blows up escrows. We handle it before it becomes a problem.

About Tom

Three decades of conviction.

Now in his third decade of selling commercial real estate, Tom has led transactions involving hundreds of millions of dollars in commercial property sales. His focus on investment properties has earned him relationships with many of the largest apartment owners from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

Top investors choose Tom because he outworks the competition. His underwriting accuracy comes from a detailed understanding of local markets — and having personally invested in apartment buildings, he brings firsthand insight into both the rewards and the challenges of ownership.

His expertise doesn't stop at sales. Tom has administered syndication projects and been involved in developing mixed-use properties in Los Angeles from the entitlement phase. Before Centennial, he sold at Marcus & Millichap, RE/MAX Commercial and Keller Williams Commercial.

Off the clock

  • Quinnipiac University, Hamden, CT — captain of the Division I hockey team, junior and senior years.
  • Married with two children; lives in Huntington Beach, CA.
  • Maintains offices in Long Beach and Las Vegas, NV.
  • When time allows, still finds his way back onto the ice.

Client experience

In their own words.

Although we rarely sell buildings, Tom showed me exactly how the deal would benefit my position. I've been in this business over 50 years, own more than 12,000 units, and work with hundreds of brokers — I recommend Tom to anyone selling an apartment building.

George Chami · Investment Concepts

After multiple transactions with Tom, I'm impressed by his work ethic and commitment. He closed our sale a week before Measure ULA hit Los Angeles — saving my family hundreds of thousands. I'd put Tom in the top tier.

Mike Khansari · Private Investor

After we went under contract, things started to go sideways — but Tom kept us moving to closing and negotiated a non-refundable deposit in my favor for the extension. I sold for full price plus more. Completely satisfied.

Elvia Saravia · Apartment Owner, Los Angeles

As head trustee, I chose Tom for my family's estate for his track record, professionalism, and enthusiasm. His team handled 10+ properties at once, and I was extremely satisfied from pricing to closing.

Ray Ponce · Head Trustee, Family Estate
