JUPITER, FL - Few people get the chance to reinvent themselves. But for Travis Thomson, when he got the chance, he took it, becoming Abacoa’s top producer.
Travis started his real estate career where most rarely begin: in the technology department. After graduating, Travis, being very fluent with computers and software, joined the family business at Waterfront Properties and Club Communities in its state-of-the-art technology department. Little did he know that working as a technology professional would soon launch his successful real estate career.
Being born into a highly respected real estate family (Travis’ grandmother, Joan, and uncle, Rob, founded Waterfront Properties, and Rob is currently the firm’s managing partner and the area’s top producing agent), it was natural that Travis gravitated to the real estate business at an earlier age than most people. He started at Waterfront Properties a decade ago and as the company grew, so did his role.
Some years after he began, he transitioned from the technology department to learning the process of buying and selling homes by assisting top producing agents. Travis even spent a year working side-by-side with Joan Thomson, one of the country’s pioneers of modern real estate. “I consider it a huge benefit to learn from my grandmother because she has such vast knowledge and experience in real estate,” the younger Thomson says. “Not too many people have the opportunity to learn from such an icon in the industry, so I feel privileged.” He now lists and sells homes in the popular Abacoa development.
For the mild-mannered and methodical Travis Thomson, working on the sales side brought out one of his finest attributes. “I love being able to interact with people on a daily basis,” he says. “I’ve always wanted to work with buyers and sellers from the start, and I enjoy the process of helping them achieve their goals by leveraging what Waterfront Properties has to offer.”
For Travis, being able to give his clients superb support and guidance has been paramount to his success, making him the No. 1 agent in Abacoa in sales by dollar volume over the past 12 months. (During the same time period, Travis is the No. 2 agent in all of the 33458 zip code, second only to his uncle and mentor, Rob Thomson.) And Waterfront Properties offers just the right support, from its unmatched marketing abilities to its agents who specialize in specific neighborhoods. With the ability to market his listings to buyers from Abacoa to New Zealand due to the company’s elite web presence, Travis has connected with buyers on an international level.
