About Tom

After 20 years of working in real estate for a number of outstanding development companies, I partnerws with the CENTURY 21 franchise when I became a licensed agent. In 2026, I formed STENDER-CUSTER REAL ESTATE | CENTURY 21, in an effort to provide a truly customized experience when clients are looking to make a move. I always place you and your family's real estate needs first because I want you to love where you live. I'm Iowa Nice and I’m always in your corner, doggedly determined to help you sell your current house or find your next dream home. When I'm not working for you, you can find me enjoying time with friends and family, doing work on our 1907 English Tudor home in Des Moines' historic Owl’s Head Neighborhood, or on our family’s 2,000-acre farm in Massena, Iowa. MY ETHOS: Love Where You Live. Is there anything more meaningful than that? My job is to help get you there, to realize that dream, handling all the details behind-the-scenes so you can relax and enjoy the ride. Whether you're looking for a new home, selling a current one -- or both -- I accomplish this by understanding your individual needs. Then it's on me to provide you with all of the key information, support and expert consultation. I love where I live. Do you?
