Tom Stanton

Real Estate transactions are personal. For most people, real estate purchases are the largest ones they make in a lifetime. That is why it is important to work with a professional real estate broker who not only has extensive knowledge about the industry but also understands the significance of the real estate transaction to both buyers and sellers.
As you consider your real estate needs, you should seek out someone who puts you first.who knows you well enough personally to match your needs to the right property.
I am Tom Stanton, and I am committed to that kind of personal service for each of my clients.
Personal Background
I was raised in South Alabama by hard-working, Christian business owners. My dad, a navy veteran, was an entrepreneur, spending most of his career in the oil and timber business. My mom served families in the area as a local realtor, finally retiring at the age of 82. From them, I learned to work hard and put people first. The Golden Rule reigned supreme in our home, so I learned the value of serving others and treating all people with respect.
I studied Building Science at Auburn University and began my professional career in the construction industry. I worked as a laborer, job superintendent, and cost estimator. I worked in both commercial and residential construction. From these positions, I learned about quality construction and the costs and materials involved in the building process.
I decided to expand my knowledge of real estate and became a licensed Alabama Real Estate Salesman in 1984. I became a full time Realtor when I moved my family to Gulf Shores in 1989.
My wife and I have enjoyed a wonderful life in the area. Although our children are grown, we are still active in our community. I strive to encourage our young people by supporting their efforts in band, theatre, sports, and missions among others, and I currently serve on the board of directors for Youth Reach. Additionally, I am active in my church where I sing in the choir, teach Sunday School, and serve as a deacon. Baldwin County is our home, and we are dedicated to serving our community and the people who live here.
