“Tom Blakely has the rare combination of integrity, tenacity, salesmanship and knowledge that sets him apart from his peers in the industry. He truly understands market dynamics and real estate as a financial asset but also possesses uncommon knowledge of the physical elements of properties as well. Tom’s inclination to roll up his sleeves and tackle the sticky issues that inevitably arise in most transactions can mean the difference between “deal or no deal.”
