Thomas International
Realty
A Full-Service Real Estate Brokerage
The Firm
A quiet practice of considered representation.
Thomas International Realty is a private advisory built on a single conviction: that exceptional property deserves unhurried, deeply personal attention.
We represent a limited number of clients at a time. It allows us to know every detail of a residence, and every consideration behind a decision — the view at seven in the morning, the light in winter, the reason a family stays for thirty years.
Our work is conducted largely out of view. Discretion is not a service we offer; it is the manner in which we practise.

The Principal
Susan Massa Thomas
Broker & Owner
Susan Massa Thomas is the broker and owner of Thomas International Realty, and the principal behind every relationship the firm holds. She leads the practice from Carmel-by-the-Sea, where the standard of a residence is set long before it is priced.
Working with buyers and sellers of distinguished coastal and country property, Susan Massa Thomas guides each engagement personally, from the first conversation to the close. Clients rely on her discretion, her candour about value, and the quiet persistence she brings to a negotiation.
She is licensed by the California Department of Real Estate and represents the firm in all matters of brokerage, counsel, and introduction.

Services
How we work.
Three ways in which clients engage the firm. Each begins with a conversation and nothing more.
Private Representation
Discreet marketing and representation for owners of distinguished homes, conducted entirely at their direction and on their timeline.
Discreet Acquisitions
We identify and secure property on behalf of private buyers — often before an opportunity reaches the open market.
Commercial & Development
Representation for investors, operators and developers — acquisitions, dispositions and the land beneath a project.
Consulting
Part of your
business team.
Beyond brokerage, we are professional consultants available to hire as part of your team — helping to bring businesses, projects, and developments into profitability.
- 01
Compliance & Permits
Entitlements, permits, and regulatory compliance, shepherded from application through approval so a project is never stalled by paperwork.
- 02
Transaction Counsel
Comprehensive assistance with the legal aspects of your transaction, working alongside your attorney, lender, and advisors.
- 03
Financing & Feasibility
Introductions to private money financing and a candid reading of the numbers, so a business, project, or development is positioned to be profitable.
