Aaron Binik-Thomas is a licensed Ohio REALTOR®, Director of Agent Growth for Plum Tree Realty, business owner, educator, and real estate executive serving the Greater Cincinnati real estate market. Licensed since 2013, Aaron works with buyers, sellers, real estate investors, and commercial clients throughout Southwest Ohio. His career has been built on leadership, education, strategic negotiation, and the belief that real estate creates stronger families, financial stability, and long-term opportunity.
As a member of Plum Tree Realty's leadership team since 2024, Aaron has helped recruit, mentor, and develop real estate agents while playing a key role in growing the brokerage from approximately 250 agents to more than 450. He works closely with brokerage leadership on agent development, recruiting, professional education, and strategic growth initiatives, believing that stronger REALTORS® create better experiences for buyers and sellers.
Aaron has represented clients across nearly every segment of the real estate industry, including residential homes, luxury real estate, commercial properties, investment real estate, multi-family portfolios, vacant land, estate sales, renovation opportunities, and mobile home parks. His transactions have ranged from $4,500 to $19.1 million and include the sale of Cincinnati's largest publicly listed 289-building rental portfolio, the original Clifton Heights estate formerly owned by the inventor of the steam-powered fire engine, and the sale of a historic neighborhood ice cream shop converted into a private residence.
Prior to joining Plum Tree Realty, Aaron served as Office Manager of a boutique real estate brokerage, where he helped modernize operations and transform the company into a growing, professionally managed brokerage. He later became Director of Business Development for a mortgage brokerage, helping approximately double the company's REALTOR® referral network by building stronger relationships with agents and brokerages while developing extensive expertise in residential lending, mortgage financing, and real estate business development.
Since 2015, Aaron has personally coached and trained more than 500 real estate agents through individual coaching, brokerage training programs, and group instruction. He has also led numerous first-time homebuyer and real estate investment seminars, helping renters become homeowners and teaching families how to build long-term wealth through real estate ownership. Aaron holds a degree in Construction Management, giving clients valuable insight into property evaluation, construction methods, renovation potential, inspections, and long-term property value.
Aaron believes real estate is about more than buying and selling property. His mission is to help people build stronger, more stable households, create lasting wealth, and gain greater agency through education, trusted advice, and strategic leadership.
