Tom comes to Purple Pig Realty with over 40 years of experience in the home building and appraisal business.

Through his work with a Certified General Appraiser in East Texas, Tom gained knowledge of the surrounding counties of Newton, Jasper, Tyler, San Augustine, and Shelby. In August 2017, Tom moved to the Northwest Austin area to work with his oldest son Thomas who started the corporation Zollege, parent company of Vandelay Education. Thomas and his dad has a passion for giving back to the community and wanted to help homelessness in the Austin area so they created Purple Pig Realty.

Now an LLC, the company continues this endeavor and gives a portion of its commission to a 501(c)(3) charity in the local community chosen by a buyer or seller represented by Purple Pig Realty.

We stumbled across Purple Pig Realty during our home search and I'm so happy we did! I could go on for days about how much we appreciate Tom. He is calm, patient, helpful, informative, and most importantly for me, honest. We never felt rushed to make a decision, he always answered the phone, and all of our questions. If he didn't know the answer, he found it! He was such a blessing during this process. Not only a great realtor, but an even better person, who we now call a friend.
Tom is one of the greatest people I have had the privilege of working with. His drive to help and desire to meet needs is one of a kind. He really cares about you and your family. He is an amazing realtor and has a passion for what he does.
Tom was amazing. He was responsive and helped me find the perfect house for me and my family. He is the type of realtor that other realtors should model ! No joke, he was able to find everything I needed, and he answered all of my annoying questions with a smile. He even gives a portion of his proceeds to the less fortunate. SUCH A GOOD COMPANY TO DO BUSINESS WITH!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
