Tom O'Laughlin

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania then moved to New Jersey with my family while in high school. My parents had 10 children so I developed my negotiating skills from an early age! I have been married to my wife Linda for 42 years and together we have three children, eleven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Two sets of our grandchildren are twins.
Upon completion of high school, I went on to Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey and received my bachelors’ degree in Business Management and Marketing.
Former Vice President of Aamco Transmissions. The last 18 years of my career have been spent developing market share growth for Transtar Industries (the industry leader in automotive driveline parts distribution), as we grew from $65 million to $450 million in sales. While our Executive team achieved this success, my contribution was executing key roles in revenue generation as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Vice President of Operations and Vice President of Business Development and National Accounts. Summed up - a career built on achieving objectives.
Why Real Estate? In the process of purchasing and selling over a dozen personal homes in six different states, including a rental property and two vacation homes, I have come to understand real estate. I have always profited from my personal home purchases and sales because I have a keen sense for value and making strategic improvements, providing a good return on equity. I want to have fun while helping others do the same.
I am passionate about helping people refine their plans and putting them in a winning position to achieve them! This has always led to developing strong and lasting relationships.
Ocean Isle Beach is my home because “life just can’t get any better than this!”

In Summary:
•I love real estate
•Helping people get the lifestyle they want
•Strong negotiation skills with a win/win philosophy
•Creative and technically savvy marketer who understands buyer motivation
•Passionate about measuring and achieving results for you
