About Tom
Tom Callaway handles the listing side of the business and is very detail-oriented in knowing market trends, comparable listings and sales, and handling all the complexities that can arise on the listing side. He is a "numbers guy" and approaches the negotiation process with a deep understanding of what his clients want out of a sale—negotiating in a way to fulfill each client's unique goals and getting sales across the finish line.
Tom's background as a licensed California attorney since 1989 gives him a unique advantage in real estate transactions. His legal expertise means he can navigate complex contracts, identify potential issues before they become problems, and protect his clients' interests throughout the negotiation and closing process. This combination of legal knowledge and market expertise ensures sellers receive maximum value while minimizing risk.
Born and raised in Southern California, Tom and Janet raised their two daughters in Temecula before relocating to the Coachella Valley. Since making the desert their home, Tom has developed an intimate knowledge of what makes each community unique—from the golf course properties of La Quinta to the luxury estates of Indian Wells and the vibrant neighborhoods of Palm Desert.
What sets Tom apart is his analytical approach combined with genuine care for his clients. He doesn't just list your home—he develops a strategic marketing plan based on current market data, comparable sales, and your specific goals. Whether you need to sell quickly or want to maximize your sale price, Tom crafts a customized strategy to achieve your objectives.
Tom and Janet have been actively involved in their communities over the years, serving in local schools, helping provide for seniors, and providing college scholarships for local high school graduates. Tom believes in giving back to the communities that have given his family so much.
