About the Speakers:

Tommy Thornton was born and raised in Tifton, GA. Following high school, Tommy joined the U.S. Marines where he honorably served out his enlistment while actively seeking a college education in California. Upon getting out of the Marines, Tommy moved back to Georgia to be closer to his family and to start his first IT business, New Image Computers. “I felt the industry was in a reputational decline. Too much geek-speak, too many hidden fees, and a total lack of transparency. Customers put their faith in our services and that’s important to us.” In 2014, Tommy, accompanied by his wife, Rose, and his daughter, Juliana, returned back to San Diego, CA to restart their business as Automates, a technology-managed service provider. Tommy quickly grew his company and created a culture built around transparency and integrity. Tommy is a nationally recognized leader in the IT industry with a focus on delivering exceptional cybersecurity services and is currently featured on the cover of “MSP Success” magazine.

PSAR Virtual Property Pitch & Town Hall Meetings

San Diego Realtor Town Hall meeting hoste by PSAR


San Diego REALTOR® Town Hall meetings are
changing dates and times
to bring back our property Pitch Sessions.

City Pitch, Rally and Ride Too, and Rally & Ride have returned!  We’ve transformed each of these popular marketing venues to virtual formats. And each one will be enhanced by industry updates from PSAR's CEO.

Here’s the new virtual marketing meeting agenda:
     • Networking with the PSAR CEO: 8:45 am – 9:00 am
     • Brief hyper-local market update by our Realtor Facilitators*
     • Pitch properties and buyers’ needs.
     • Industry updates by PSAR's CEO and other industry experts.

When the COVID-19 crisis first hit, disrupting our lives and our businesses, PSAR moved quickly to organize Town Hall Meetings as platforms on which to inform our members of the massive changes that were taking place daily. 

In the weeks that followed, our industry has adjusted to a new normal.  Real Estate is deemed essential, but with that designation comes responsibility and concern for the welfare of all. Let's practice those traits by sharing available inventory and solving our listing challenges together with old friends and new.
