Thomas Buerger

Team Lead, DC | MD | VA

Get to Know Me

Tom arrived in the DC metro area in 1992 after graduating from the University of Richmond. He worked in the tech consulting industry for three years before returning to earn his MBA at the University of Texas at Austin in 1997. After business school, Tom returned to our nation's capital to continue his tech consulting career for a few years until beginning to yearn for a more passionate life’s work.
 
At the beginning of 2003, Tom left the tech world to begin a more meaningful career path—helping people find "a place to call home.” Since Tom became a licensed REALTOR in DC, MD, and VA, he has proudly helped his clients buy or sell homes, and generally pursue their pursuit of personal happiness.
 
Tom believes purchasing a home should be a fun and exciting process for buyers while selling a house should be an easy and streamlined process for every seller. From 2006 to 2014, Tom was the number one agent in the Washington, DC RE/MAX network when he formed his own elite team of passionate REALTORS. Since joining Compass, The Tom Buerger Team of Compass has continued to deliver a world-class customer experience predicated on hard work, compassion, and loyalty.
 
For Tom and his team, helping people buy and sell real estate is more than just a job. It's our calling, passion, and preferred way of life!

What My Clients Say

Tom and the team were great to work with. It took three tries but we finally got me a house. Highly recommend working with him or his associates for any home buying or selling need.

What My Clients Say

As a real estate professional, I interact with agents daily. I have worked with Tom and his team in the past, and I always considered them to be peerless - the epitome of doing well by doing good. You can't do any better than the TBT.

— Christopher D.

What My Clients Say

Tom is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. The entire process was made very easy on us from the beginning. The transaction went smoothly, we hit our goals (price and timeline) and shared a few laughs along the way! Tom is the only agent we will be using in the DMV!

What My Clients Say

Tom helped up buy our first house in Arlington and was our agent selling that house and buying another one. He's always been responsive and a great advocate for us as buyers and sellers. Both times he found properties that were even better than what we had hoped for. I can't recommend him highly enough.

— Dan B.

What My Clients Say

He has helped us buy and sell two homes. He is the best, and he's also really kind and fun to work with. He truly is a wonderful REALTOR and friend. With our most recent home sale, he went above and beyond at all hours to answer our questions and help us with what was a truly painless and positive process as we were already trying to move to another city. We really appreciate all he has done for us!

What My Clients Say

I am a first-time home buyer and I went to see Tom because my sister had worked with him buying her condo and had such a great experience. After over three months of searching, I was finally able to find a gorgeous new condo that fit within our price range and was just what we were looking for. Tom was so helpful throughout the process, and he and his staff were there to help us with the obstacles we enc...

What My Clients Say

Tom is amazing. Period. I was referred to Tom by a friend who also worked with him. She raved about her experience house hunting with Tom and I'm elated to say that I can rave about my own experience. From the get-go, Tom's focus is that this process needs to be fun. You need to be excited about looking, not stressed or overwhelmed. We viewed 30 properties in a little over eight weeks, each time Tom pick...
