About Tom

A licensed broker since 2005 and a top producer since 2010, Tom Bashe’s success is fueled by strategic thinking, ongoing research and analysis, and an uncompromising client-centered approach where he makes himself available day and night, seven days a week. Over his career, Tom has facilitated more than $150 million in transaction volume, and before founding Localist, he ranked in the top 1% of more than 90,000 agents, internationally for one of the largest brokerage firms in the world. Born and raised throughout Southern California, primarily in the Temecula Valley, Tom has expansive knowledge of the Inland Empire. As a youth, he developed a passion for real estate while visiting open houses with his parents. He loved the different styles of homes and how people chose to style them, and he became hooked. Tom received his real estate license before graduating high school. At the age of 20, he passed the broker’s exam, and in 2006, at the age of 21, he became one of the youngest real estate brokers in the industry. From 2009 to 2015, Tom’s main focus was real estate investing. He became a master negotiator, learned how to analyze properties to determine current and future values, and how best to market properties throughout Southern California — all skills that now help him advise clients to reach their real estate goals and, in turn, set them up to create more wealth. Tom prides himself in offering high-touch service where he is a resource to clients during and after their time working together. Driven by gratitude, Tom’s main objective is to help anyone who asks. From first-time homebuyers to investors looking to purchase rentals to sellers of everything from condos to vineyards, Tom has the vast knowledge, experience, and heart to deliver the best outcomes possible. He takes the time needed to form strong connections and fully understand and fulfill his clients’ needs. Outside the office, Tom enjoys spending time with his wife and three daughters, working with his hands, and learning about investing, health, economics, government, history, philosophy, and travel.

Very streamlined and straight forward process.

Letter of Recommendation for Tom Bashe of Localist Realty To Whom It May Concern, We are pleased to recommend Tom Bashe for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication made our move from Northern California to Southern California a smooth and enjoyable experience. Because we were relocating, Tom conducted detailed video walkthroughs of prospective homes, allowing us to narrow our choices before traveling south. When we arrived, he had organized a carefully selected list of homes that reflected our priorities, making the most of our limited time. Thanks to his preparation, we found our dream home in the Morgan Hill community. Tom's knowledge of architecture, home construction, and local neighborhoods was invaluable. He explained the architectural styles of the homes we viewed, pointed out important details, discussed the history of the properties when available, and shared insights about the quality of the building materials and construction. His attention to detail gave us confidence in our decision. Throughout the process, Tom listened carefully to our needs, focused on the locations and features that mattered most to us, and never pressured us to settle for anything less than the right home. Once we found our home, he guided us through the purchase process with outstanding communication, professionalism, and efficiency, making the entire transaction seamless. We recommend Tom Bashe without hesitation. His expertise, integrity, and commitment to his clients made finding and purchasing our dream home a wonderful experience, and we are grateful to have had him as our real estate agent. Sincerely, Rick and Ylva Risano

Tom Made Our First Home Buying Experience Incredible!

As first-time homebuyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to guide us through the process. From day one, Tom took the time to explain every step in detail, answered all of our questions with patience, and made sure we felt confident in every decision we made. Buying a home for the first time can feel overwhelming, but Tom made it feel manageable and even exciting. Tom’s knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and honest advice helped us find the perfect home without ever feeling pressured. We always felt like Tom truly had our best interests at heart. Tom was incredibly responsive, proactive, and supportive from our first showing all the way through closing. Thanks to Tom’s expertise and dedication, what could have been a stressful experience turned into a smooth and memorable one. We are so grateful for everything Tom and his team did for us and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any first-time homebuyer looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in their clients’ success.

BEST Realtor you could choose!

Our experience with Tom Bashe and Localist Realty has far exceeded our expectations. We’ve used Tom and Localist Realty several times now and have been pleased every time to say the least. He and his team are more than just realtors; they are partners at a time when you’re making major changes in your life. Tom not only helped us find and sell our homes but also helped when we needed construction help, painters, etc. He has a team of people available at reasonable prices to make the move so much easier and uncomplicated; not to mention how simple his team made buying and financing our home! Tom always made us feel comfortable and confident with him in our corner, looking out for our needs; and he always happily explained anything to us that we weren’t sure of. If anyone is looking to buy or sell their home or property - we would heartily recommend Tom and Localist Realty. They become the friends you need to partner with you!

Tom was absolutely awesome to work with for our recent purchase in The Colony. He and the team are very responsive and help us navigate the process seamlessly. I would most highly recommend Tom for any real estate transaction. His in depth knowledge of The Colony for us was invaluable and we were able to find the perfect home for us at this time of our lives.

Highly Recommend Tom Bashe

Tom Bashe did an excellent job in listing and selling our single-family rental. I have a real estate brokers license and still chose to use Tom. He was knowledgeable about the market. Solid price recommendations, complete marketing plan and had service contacts to help prep the house for sale at reasonable prices. He was responsive 24/7 to any questions and returned calls and texts promptly. I felt he had our best interest in mind and was representing us to maximize our return and to achieve our stated goals when we listed the property. I could not feel more comfortable in recommending Tom.
