WHAT OUR AGENTS SAY ABOUT TOM AND THE SANTA ROSA OFFICE

When I left my last brokerage, I told myself I was done working for managers.  Too many bad experiences and way too much ego.  So when I was considering where to go next, the main reason I gave Coldwell Banker a look was Tom. I’ve known Tom over 18 years. He was a mentor to many long before he ever had a title at CB. He’s honest to a fault, actually calls you back, never loses his cool, and genuinely cares about helping agents grow — not because it’s his job, but because it’s who he is. In this business, people like that are extremely rare. He made our decision to come here an easy one.

It's been my extreme pleasure to work with such a skilled, poised, and talented manager as Tom Kemper in our Santa Rosa office. He's brought a truly high level of in-depth knowledge and quite expertise to the table to keep the office running so smoothly, in addition to handling the problems that arise in our business transactions. From personal experience, he has been more than willing to give his time and ear to my own inquires and request for ideas or suggestions, which is invaluable to me. Thank you, Tom, for the excellent leadership! 

Jeanette Ditter, Sales Associate

Tom has been an excellent supporter of my business in that he is very accessible, easy to talk to, and often offers fresh perspective and sound advice. He is level-headed and well informed and keeps his staff up to date on important changes in the real estate profession, as well as news worthy items in the real estate market. I think I speak for all of the Santa Rosa office when I say I am glad Tom took the wheel here at Coldwell Banker Bicentennial.

Tom is a Level 5 leader. In Jim Collin’s book “Good to Great” Collins highlights the key dual attributes of a strong leader: personal humility and professional will. This describes Tom Kemper perfectly! Tom’s focus is not on himself but on building a strong, successful team in which everyone can thrive. He has created a very collaborative environment and given our significant market share; we have a competitive advantage when we partner. 

Valerie Hall, Sales Associate | 707-479-9461 | CalRE#: 02026450

Working with my manager, Tom Kemper, is an outstanding experience. His extensive knowledge and unwavering support make him an exceptional leader. The CB marketing team is truly remarkable, professional, responsive, and instrumental in helping me excel as a agent. From our initial listing presentation to the Listing Concierge marketing system, they tailor our marketing materials to meet each client's unique needs and expectations. I consistently rely on and look forward to collaborating with our top-tier marketing team, including Christine Tran, from Listing Concierge, Marketing Specialist, JoAnn Horner, and our Regional Support Specialist. 

Michelle McHale, REALTOR® 707-548-8916 | CalRE#: 01997128

Tom’s leadership skills are impeccable. He is present, accountable, and resourceful. He regularly attends the weekly marketing meetings and tours the listings supporting his Coldwell Banker agents in addition to the overall real estate community. He is consistent, credible, knowledgeable, reliable, and trustworthy. He leads by example and displays the highest levels of integrity and character.

Craig Curreri, Broker Associate - Top 1% North Bay
707-477-5120 | CalRE#: 01408111

I want to recommend our manager Tom Kemper for his leadership of the Coldwell Banker Santa Rosa office. I've been working as an agent with Coldwell Banker since 2004 and have experienced several management styles. Tom is always present to assist his agents either by phone or email for any problem or question that needs answered. His sage advice is never condescending. He always has several options for strategies and directions. He arranges informational speakers to advance the office agent's knowledge, sends many informational emails to keep us all up to date. I especially enjoy the weekly virtual office meetings as I live out of town, so I enjoy the convenience of the virtual meetings!

Susan Campbell, REALTOR® | 707-481-1906 | CalRE #01457500

Wow! Congratulations to Tom for his leadership and all of us for being a great productive office!

As an old time (30+ years) in this business, I don't have all the answers. Tom has been there to brainstorm with me which has helped save a few transactions. Thanks for all you do.

MEET THE BRANCH MANAGER

TOM KEMPER

 

Branch Manager
CalRE#: 01338735

With more than 20 years in real estate and over 18 years in leadership, I bring a thoughtful, strategic, and selective approach to management at Coldwell Banker Realty in Santa Rosa, CA. I began my career in 2002 as a producing agent and moved into management in 2007 after building a business grounded in integrity, strong client relationships, and consistent results.

I work primarily with experienced and high‑producing agents who value collaboration, professionalism, and measurable growth. I believe the strongest teams are built through mutual fit—where agents and leadership align in values, expectations, and vision. My role is not to micromanage, but to act as a strategic partner and advocate, helping agents scale intelligently while protecting their time and brand.

Our Santa Rosa office supports clients across all property types, with a distinct strength in the luxury and move-up markets. Our team includes Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® certified agents who regularly work with affluent buyers and sellers throughout Sonoma County and the North Bay. I partner with agents at every price point, emphasizing elevated positioning, strategic marketing, and refined client‑experience standards that align with first-time buyers as well as luxury-minded consumers.

I am a Certified Mentor with Brian Buffini’s Peak Producers Program and enjoy partnering with seasoned agents on advanced business planning, referral‑driven growth, accountability, and leadership development.

As a Sonoma County native based in Windsor, I bring deep local knowledge across Santa Rosa, Windsor, and the greater North Bay—grounded in market data, neighborhood nuance, and community trends.

Before real estate, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from California State University, Sacramento, and served as a pilot for the United States Navy and United Airlines—experiences that shaped a leadership style that is disciplined, service‑driven, and performance‑focused.

Outside the office, I’m a member of American Legion Post 111 and enjoy baseball, classic muscle cars, and boating. My family has strong ties to public service, with my children serving in law enforcement in the Reno area.
