The Thomas Team

The Thomas Team is one of the Chicago area's most successful real estate brokerage partnerships. Co-founders Michael and Lene Thomas launched their business in 2001 with a vision to support their clientele with superior service. Today, the Thomas Team is among the top sellers of real estate on the North Shore, in the top 1% percent of all Chicago Realtors, and the #1 brokerage team in Evanston from 2007-2021. The team's business model is built on highly ethical practices, a strong infrastructure, advanced technology, superb marketing tools, and a loyal network of clients and colleagues. The Thomas Team's main focus has always been to serve as knowledgeable and effective representatives for their clients.

The Team has extensive experience within the condo, co-op, townhome, single-family, and new construction markets. Their reach stretches as far north as Highland Park, south throughout the city, and as far west as Wheaton; however, they concentrate the bulk of their business in Evanston, Wilmette, and the North Shore. Additionally, through their strong referral network, they are happy to help clients who are relocating out of the area by introducing them to top agents in other communities around the country.

Team Structure/Members

With two dedicated partners, Michael and Lene Thomas, the Thomas Team continues to prove itself in a highly competitive marketplace. Michael and Lene's charismatic personalities, market knowledge, and trusted service, coupled with industry-leading technology, first-class administrative support, and marketing programs that are second to none, have placed them at the top of their field. And The Thomas Team has grown to include team members Lauren Lockwood Consiglio, Derek Eovaldi, Kirsten Everspaugh, Chaz Richart, and Cliff Sears - all licensed brokers who share the Thomas Team's vision and bring their own areas of expertise.

Michael Thomas - Licensed Broker - Team Leader

Michael Thomas works with clients who want to buy or sell their homes and overlooks all sales transactions for the team. Michael is always available to step in and guide where needed. When working with a seller Michael is in charge of obtaining the listing, having professional photographs taken, floor plans created, and marketing the listing so it will be sold at the highest price in the least amount of time possible. Michael works closely with the staging professional to make sure the home shows its absolute best and with the Marketing Director and Transaction Manager to successfully market the key features of each listing until it is under contract. When working with a buyer, Michael and his Showing Specialist meet with the client to assess needs and wants. Michael and the client will identify properties of interest and then create a tour, schedule the properties and tour the properties with the client. Once the perfect property has been identified, Michael will negotiate the best deal for the client.

Lene Thomas - Licensed Broker - Director of Marketing and Operations

Lene Thomas manages the Operations team and all the behind-the-scenes activities involved in marketing, reporting, client communication, and moving the transaction forward. As a licensed broker and the Director of Marketing and Operations, she plays an integral part in the buying and selling process. If you are a buyer, you may have been referred to us through a trusted source, heard about us through word-of-mouth or our email campaigns, print advertising, web advertising, social media, or direct mailings. If you are a seller, you have peace of mind knowing that your property is being advertised through all the outlets available. With a business degree and experience as a project manager in logistics and marketing for a major international company, Lene brings a high level of organization and precision to the real estate process that is reassuring to The Thomas Team's clientele. Lene is also an expert at home staging. She will walk the home with the agent and make necessary suggestions for de-cluttering, painting, and re-arranging furniture. She will work with the seller to get the home in the very best showing condition.

Client Commitment

We view our client relationships as a personal investment. Prior to introducing a home to the brokerage community, we work with a seller to optimize the presentation of their home, expertly assess the market value, identify the target market, and develop a strategic marketing plan.

The Power of a Team

We believe to fully represent our clients in the ever-changing world of real estate, we need to have specialists that are the very best at what they do – Our main focus is YOU. It is very hard for one Realtor to be good at listing, representing buyers, getting deals to closing, marketing, and the million other things agents deal with in a regular workday. We have created an environment where none of these tasks get overlooked. The Thomas Team is comprised of a team of Real Estate Agents, a Showing Specialist, a licensed Transaction Manager, a Stager, and a Marketing Director. This is what sets us apart, helps us remain at the top year after year and most importantly, gets our clients to their goal.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help you achieve your goals and exceed your expectations through engaging home buying or selling experiences based on personal ethics, trust, and customer service so that you will never hesitate to refer us to your family, friends, and co-workers.
