Well, to be honest, my real estate career started in a strange way. I was just leaving a management position at a major national company and was looking around for something to do. Commonly known as "What's Next". A friend of mine at work suggested I look up one of those online real estate courses. That's exactly what I did, and right from the start, I fell in love with real estate investing and real estate as a career. So I started investing per the course while I studied for my real estate license.
Over the ensuing years, I worked for several companies and a good part of that business was helping military families relocate. Someone once said that moving a family was just as stressful as having a heart attack. I've done both and I am pretty sure that moving, especially with children, is the worst.
At one point I did have my own office and I did very well there. But after my heart attack, I closed the office looked around for a great company to associate with. Century 21 Nachman won hands down from people I talked with so I went to work with the wonderful people at Century 21. I was a top agent in that firm when a few years later I decided to move for personal reasons. I am delighted those issues are behind me and I am back with Century 21 Nachman again.
I work with my wife Carol, and her sister Betty. We work as a team to serve you better. Carol and Betty have spent their lives, before real estate, serving the military on a daily basis. Betty is from a military family and has the moving chops to prove it.
Our sincerest expectation is to assist our customers and provide 5-Star service. Our goal whether buying or selling your home is to take as much pressure off our clients as possible and provide the expertise gained from over 500 deals.

I appreciate Tommy's experience and vast knowledge which helped us to make the best informed decision. He knew about the area and was able to answer our questions. I especially appreciate the teamwork he and Carol showed us everyday and reassurance that we would keep looking as the market was a little hectic at the time. I appreciate their patience and quick communication. That put us at ease and helped us to trust that they had our best interest in mind. What a great team who are set out to do the best and have proved to be the best.

Tommy turned out to be as genuine in his personal bio as he was in person. I am glad I chose him to be my real estate agent.
Would be happy to work with Tommy Alphin, his team and Century 21 Nachman Realty again. I hope they continue to stay connected with business to business programs that connected me to them, so nobody misses out on the opportunity to share my experience.
