"From day one, Tom was more interested in our business model and requirements for space than closing the deal. He worked with us to review over a hundred properties before we found the perfect spot for our concept."

"Tom and JLL have been excellent real estate partners for us in a very tricky market. They took the long view and advised us as friends for years, before we were ready to take a big bite and move into a 30K new space. They have been invaluable partners for us, and I could not recommend them more."

"Tom learned the culture of Kiva, listened to our needs, and presented us with dozens of options. After we chose the perfect space and closed the deal, Tom also guided us through the build-out. I’d recommend Tom to anyone."

Clients

Finding space is easy, this is the valuable stuff

Bringing Deep Experience

Hundreds of deals and millions of square feet under the feet of San Francisco’s finest and most interesting companies.

Creating Complex Solutions

Working to create ideal outcomes in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, Tom can often be found inventing solutions.

Offering Grit & Tenacity

I believe grit and tenacity are the most important qualities that determine success.No one works harder for their clients. Ask them.

Protecting Clients

Rent and size and term are easy to solve for, but the real value comes in the dark corners of legal documentation, often pushing 130 pages. This is also where the true risk lies.

Providing Off-Market Answers

While I only represent tenants, I also work for the best global firm in the industry, and have insight into office spaces coming available well ahead of the competition.

The Math Matters

I know the numbers. I understand effective rents and cost of capital and OPEX passthroughs and load factors and cap rates. You deserve a broker that can pencil out how your rental payments improve a building’s valuation.

I am a Senior Managing Director with Newmark Knight Frank, and I have been representing tenants exclusively for over ten years.

Aside from negotiating deals that you can’t find anywhere else, I take time to understand your company’s culture.

My drive for success resides in my personal life as well as my professional endeavors. I am a former basketball pro turned commercial real estate guru. I travelled much of the world before settling down. I hold a BA Economics from U.C. Santa Barbara. I head to work each day from Marin County, where I live with my wife Sarah, our three children, our dog, and our five chickens. I love my job. Work with me, and we will find your perfect space.
