Tom Champion

Tom Champion is a respected commercial real estate advisor with Compass Commercial and The Real Equity Group. Based in the Nashville area, he works with business owners, investors, corporations, and private capital partners across Tennessee, California, the U.S., and internationally. His clients come to him for strategic counsel, not just a transaction. They count on disciplined planning, sharp analysis, and a clear path to success.

What sets Tom apart is the work most brokers skip or miss entirely. He sources off-market opportunities through a deep network of owners, developers, and capital partners. He also takes time to learn each client's long-term vision. His land work ranges from infill parcels and interchange sites to investment acreage and large development tracts. Beyond finding property, he connects clients with the people, data, and partnerships that unlock its value.

Tom works with landlords, family offices, private equity firms, professional athletes, and high-net-worth investors. His clients come from real estate development, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, and hospitality. His focus areas include land development, multifamily investment and development, and hotel and resort acquisitions. He also helps clients take advantage of real estate's tax benefits, including 1031 exchanges and opportunity zone investments, working alongside their tax and legal advisors to leverage bonus depreciation and cost segregation studies. In every engagement, he creates value at each step. His approach rests on deep market knowledge, disciplined negotiation, and personal attention to every transaction, with a focus on his clients' success.

Tom is deeply invested in Middle Tennessee communities and youth. He serves on several Middle Tennessee boards, including the Spring Hill Chamber of Commerce and the Boys & Girls Clubs of South-Central Tennessee, and is an active Rotarian. In 2026, the Boys & Girls Clubs of South-Central Tennessee named him Hero of the Year.

Tom earned an MBA in Organizational Leadership and is a certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt. He brings that same discipline and rigor to every transaction.
