Columbus REALTORS® is honoring Tom Nichols, with its 2021 Affiliate of the Year award for his exemplary business experience, conduct, civic activity and industry involvement.
Tom Nichols is Senior Account Executive and Director of Business Development for Choice Home Warranty. He has almost two decades of experience as a Home Warranty Expert.
In 2016, he was recruited by the company to help them enter the real estate transaction sector by using his familiarity in the industry and Choices’ already very successful consumer footprint.
Tom has been a member of Columbus REALTORS® since 2008 and has served for several years on the Housing Affordability & Community Partnership (formerly Affordable Housing), CORPAC Fundraising, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Foundation Fundraising and the Hispanic Professionals Network committees.
In the past he has served as a member of the Affiliate, Business Technology, Residential Education, and on the REALTOR® Care Day committees. He’s also a former member of the Young Professionals Network.
Tom is an active member of the Independent Brokers Association (IBA), the Women’s Council of REALTORS® (WCR) Columbus Chapter, and of most of the 28 local area realty associations.
He’s also a recipient of many industry awards, including multiple designations as "Affiliate of the Year" by various groups, most recently the WCR Columbus Chapter in 2020. Prior to joining Choice Home Warranty, Tom spent 10 years in publishing with the Real Estate Magazine.
In the community, Tom volunteers with the American Red Cross, Nationwide Children’s Hospital Ashley Robey Foundation, Meals on Wheels, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Ohio Gamma Board and on the Fundraising Committee of the Fireman’s Resource Organization.
“Being recognized by the membership of Columbus REALTORS® is an honor and humbling,” said Nichols. “My commitment to this body is to continue to be deserving of their praise.”
Due to COVID restrictions and the cancellation of this year’s awards luncheon, Nichols will be formally recognized at our annual Awards Gala in December.
Columbus REALTORS® is comprised of almost 9,500 real estate professionals engaged in residential sales and leasing, commercial sales and leasing, property management, appraisal, consultation, real estate syndication, land development and more.
