Thomas thrives in this leadership position and is known for his ability to find a workable solution under almost any situation, no matter how difficult it might be. It is his belief that real estate deals must always be a WIN/WIN transaction. In 2022, Chapala Realtors closed almost 200 sales! That is almost 1 sale per business day!
