Biography
Engineering a Foundation for Real Estate Before establishing his presence in the real estate industry, Tom built a highly successful career in civil engineering. Starting out in Canton, Georgia, he rapidly advanced to work as a Civil Engineer Designer in Atlanta, where he collaborated with top-tier international, national, and local engineering firms. His extensive design portfolio includes master-planned residential communities, complex commercial developments, private projects, and municipal airports.
This deep, technical understanding of land development, infrastructure, and structural design provides Tom with a distinct advantage in real estate. He views properties not just as spaces, but as engineered environments, allowing him to evaluate real estate opportunities with an analytical, detail-oriented eye that greatly benefits his clients.
A Philosophy of Education and Empowerment
Today, Tom channels his lifelong interest in real estate into the operational success of Kelly Consultants LLC. While Cindy handles the real estate transactions and client advisory services, Tom oversees the administrative duties and strategic growth of the firm.
His primary goal is to elevate the standard of service by ensuring the brokerage focuses heavily on education and transparency. He is passionate about working behind the scenes to build a client-first framework—ensuring that whether the brokerage is serving first-time homebuyers, growing families, or seniors navigating life transitions, every client receives the highest level of care, advocacy, and administrative support.
Midwestern Roots and Community Leadership Born and raised in Southern Illinois, Tom’s foundational values of hard work and integrity were instilled early on. He grew up in a bustling household with three brothers and three sisters, working alongside his father in the family’s lumber business. Cutting timber and contributing to the family enterprise cultivated a hands-on work ethic, an appreciation for structural materials, and deeply rooted family morals—principles that continue to guide his business practices today.
Tom is also a dedicated community servant whose philanthropic efforts have garnered national attention. In August 2004, he was recognized by Time Magazine for his exceptional fundraising work with the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Cherokee County, Georgia. This commitment to giving back and supporting his community remains a cornerstone of his character.
Personal Life Having recently relocated from the Atlanta area, Tom and Cindy now call Citrus County, Florida, home. Married since 2012, they share a rich and vibrant personal life anchored by a blended family of seven children and twelve grandchildren. When they are not helping clients navigate the Georgia and Florida real estate markets, Tom and Cindy enjoy spending time with their extensive family and exploring the beauty of their new Florida community.
