About Dmitri Thompson

I absolutely love helping my clients do everything from finding their first home to selling and upgrading/downsizing. I started my career in real estate working for a private real estate investment firm dealing with multi-family and commercial deals. After a couple of years, I decided to let other people handle that so I could transition to the emotional side of real estate. My job is not only to help you find an amazing home, but also to remove as much stress as possible...and have a little fun.
