Thomas RoseQuestion & Answer
What is your favorite thing about Richmond?
There are so many great places to eat in Richmond
and the surrounding areas. There are countless
restaurants opening with great food and exciting
atmospheres. The breweries are also always a good
time. Most are family friendly and offer a nice place to
relax.
What initially drew you to real estate?
I spent six years in commercial banking and some of
my clients were in real estate in one way or another. I
was always fascinated watching their careers and the
deals they were involved in. It was very attractive to
me to be able to control my own career vs. working
in a corporate setting. As an independent contractor
whether I succeed or fail from a business perspective
is all on me. I love to work hard and see the results of
that labor. To be able to do that all while developing
personal relationships and helping folks making such a
major financial and personal decision was a no brainer.
I decided to make the jump into real estate myself and
never looked back.
Why is relationship building so key to your success?
I am building my real estate business based on
relationships and referrals. I do almost no marketing.
I don’t make any cold calls or chase down Internet
leads. I rely 100% on the service I provide to my
clients and trust that they will be happy enough to
refer me to their friends and family in the future. I
have never looked at any client or any sale as a quick
commission. I feel that mindset is short sighted. I
plan to be in this career for many years and the only
way to do that is to build relationships, value each
client, treat people like family, and represent them
well. If I can do that then the rest will take care of
itself.
How has your previous experience benefited your practice of real estate?
In two ways. First, having spent six years in banking
I have a strong knowledge of the financial side of
the transaction. I can often recommend specific
lenders that would be most beneficial or offer a
financial point of view that others may not think
of. Second, about 50 to 60% of my client base
is in the medical field. In banking I specialized in
medical lending. I have extensive experience working
with physicians in multiple facets. That gives me a
greater understanding of their needs in a home and
throughout the transaction.

ClientTestimonials
Thomas was extremely knowledgeable regarding the current market and what we needed to make a competitive offer. He was always very professional and is clearly willing to do hard work for his clients.
Thomas is very buttoned up. His knowledge of the market makes you feel very comfortable through the process. He is very on top of things and is always available. We are extremely happy.
Thomas treats us like family. He is like family. He is honest with what he can or cannot answer, but is attentive to our needs and possesses the wisdom to guide us. We would not trust any other realtor in RVA other than Thomas Rose.
Thomas helped us find the perfect home in Richmond while shopping from out of state, on what seemed like an impossible time frame, in a seemingly impossible market. He was always patient and available. He provided great, pragmatic counsel. And he has a great network of resources (finding a local lender made all the difference!). I would highly recommend working with Thomas for a painless and professional real estate experience; there is no doubt you will be well-represented!
Thomas was recommended to us through my wife's new employer. After the first conversation with him, we knew we had the right realtor. From being always available to answer our questions, to thoroughly researching all the properties we looked at, and his in depth knowledge of the Richmond market, Thomas made the process of home buying extremely easy for us. We never had to worry about anything from putting in the offer to closing. Thomas took care of all the details. We would highly recommend him to anyone.
Would give 6 Stars for Thomas and team if it were available. Thomas is a consummate professional. He rarely gives opinions-just the facts. He will seek out the data you need to make decisions at any cost. I have completed two substantial real estate transactions with him during this difficult market both as buyer and seller. Thomas is with you before, during, and after the buy/sell. I wouldn't hesitate to refer him to friends and family alike.
Thomas Rose is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with and we've recommended him to anyone needing an agent. Truly a professional.
