From 1972 to 1996, Tom was the President and Owner of Century 21 Egidio Realty, Inc. where he was the owner and broker of four separate Century 21 Realty offices employing 78 real estate agents.  Tom owned the top Century 21 Realty in the Vallejo/Benicia area, reaching Gold Medallion status of $750,000 annual gross revenue in one office location and acheived an annual gross revenue of $2 million from the combined sales of all four office locations.  Tom and Century 21 Egidio Realty were actively invovled in the community, including sponsoring an annual golf tournament to generate funds for community youth organizations.
 
Tom has been a member of the boards of several community organizations, and has served as the Chairman of the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce, the Vallejo CVB and the Solano Association of Realtors.  Tom has served on the Vallejo Planning Commission, the Vallejo Waterfront Review Committee, the Vallejo Economic Vision Steering Committee, has traveled with the annual Mayor's delegation to Washington D.C., and completed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for Organizational Management in 2000.
