About Thomas S. Hennerty
Broker, Real Estate Investor & Founder of Netrealtynow.com
Thomas S. Hennerty is an experienced real estate broker, investor and entrepreneur with a career spanning more than four decades.
Tom began his real estate career in 1985 and founded Netrealtynow.com in 1999, building the company around a simple idea: real estate consumers should have more choices in how they buy and sell property and how they pay for real estate services.
Today, Tom is the Principal/Managing Broker of Netrealtynow.com and provides real estate services to buyers, sellers and investors in Florida, Virginia, Maryland, Washington, DC and New York.
More Than 35 Years of Real Estate Experience
Tom was originally licensed in 1985 and quickly became a top-producing real estate professional. He subsequently founded and operated his own commercial and residential real estate companies.
Over the course of his career, he has been involved in the listing, marketing, purchase and sale of thousands of properties.
His experience includes:
- Residential real estate
- Commercial real estate
- Multifamily properties
- Investment properties
- Property acquisition
- Property disposition
- Buyer representation
- Seller representation
- Negotiation
- Flat-Fee MLS services
He has also personally purchased and resold more than 70 properties, giving him firsthand experience not only as a broker, but as a real estate investor.
A Broker Who Has Been on Both Sides of the Transaction
One of Tom’s greatest advantages is that he understands real estate from multiple perspectives.
He has been:
A Broker
Representing buyers and sellers.
An Investor
Personally purchasing and reselling properties.
A Negotiator
Negotiating purchase prices and contract terms.
A Marketer
Marketing residential, commercial and multifamily properties.
An Entrepreneur
Building real estate businesses and developing alternative brokerage models.
That combination gives clients a perspective that goes beyond simply putting a property on the MLS.
Why Netrealtynow.com?
Tom founded Netrealtynow.com after recognizing that the internet was changing the real estate industry.
As consumers gained access to more property information online, he believed sellers should have the ability to obtain MLS exposure without automatically paying a traditional percentage-based listing commission.
That philosophy became the foundation of Netrealtynow.com:
Give consumers more choices.
Today, those choices include:
For Sellers
Flat-Fee MLS
Full-Support Flat-Fee MLS
Full-Service Representation
For Buyers
Professional Buyer Representation
Negotiation and transaction assistance
Potential buyer rebate, where applicable
Now Representing Buyers
Netrealtynow.com has expanded beyond its original Flat-Fee MLS model.
Tom now provides buyer representation for consumers purchasing homes and investment properties.
Buyer clients can receive assistance with:
- Property searches
- Showings
- Market analysis
- Comparable sales
- Offer strategy
- Contract negotiations
- Inspections
- Appraisals
- Due diligence
- Closing coordination
The objective is to help buyers make informed decisions and successfully navigate the transaction.
A Real Estate Investor’s Perspective
Tom’s personal experience as an investor gives him a different perspective when evaluating properties.
He understands that the purchase price is only one part of the equation.
An investor—or any buyer—should consider:
- Current market value
- Potential appreciation
- Rental potential
- Property condition
- Renovation costs
- Taxes
- Insurance
- HOA/condo costs
- Financing
- Resale potential
This experience is particularly useful when working with clients purchasing multifamily and investment properties.
Multi-State Real Estate Experience
Tom is licensed in:
Florida
Maryland
Virginia
Washington, DC
New York
His business serves markets ranging from Sarasota and Florida’s Gulf Coast to the Washington/Baltimore metropolitan area, Northern Virginia and the New York metropolitan/Hudson Valley markets.
This multi-state experience is particularly valuable for buyers and sellers who are:
- Relocating
- Moving between states
- Selling one property to purchase another
- Investing in multiple markets
- Purchasing investment property outside their home state
Sarasota Real Estate
Tom now has a particular focus on the Sarasota, Florida market, where he is based.
His Florida business focuses on residential, commercial and multifamily real estate, with particular interest in investment opportunities throughout the Sarasota and Gulf Coast region.
He brings the same approach to Sarasota that he developed over decades in other real estate markets:
Analyze the property.
Understand the market.
Determine the value.
Negotiate intelligently.
Protect the client’s interests.
A Different Approach to Real Estate
Tom believes that real estate brokerage shouldn’t have to be one-size-fits-all.
Some sellers want to handle much of the transaction themselves and simply need MLS exposure.
Others want professional assistance throughout the entire process.
Some buyers want traditional representation.
Others appreciate a brokerage model that can potentially return a portion of eligible buyer-side compensation to them.
Netrealtynow.com is designed to give consumers those choices.
Experience. Technology. Value.
Tom combines traditional real estate experience with modern technology.
Netrealtynow.com uses:
- MLS systems
- Online property searches
- Digital documents
- Electronic signatures
- Listing syndication
- Online marketing
- Social media
- Digital communication
But technology is only a tool.
The real value is knowing what to do with the information.
Tom’s Philosophy
Real Estate Is About More Than Buying and Selling Property.
It’s about making good financial decisions.
Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a longtime residence, purchasing an investment property or selling a multifamily building, the decisions made before and during the transaction can have a significant financial impact.
Tom’s approach is straightforward:
Listen to the client.
Understand the objective.
Analyze the market.
Provide honest advice.
Negotiate aggressively when appropriate.
Complete the transaction professionally.
