Tom Merrifield
Born in Laguna Beach, CA and Studied Int'l Business Management at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. After graduating, I moved to Germany and worked in the pharmaceutical industry in marketing and management positions for 23 years. I moved back tot he US with my family (wife and 2 daughters) in 2013 and chose Mt. Pleasant. I consulted for pharmaceutical companies part-time, but wanted to get into real estate. I started investing in real estate in 2014 and became a full-time real estate investor in 2017. Over the past 6 years I have wholesaled and flipped approximately 30 residential and properties, I have purchased over residential units. I now own approx. 80 units, consisting of approx. 40 single-family and multi-family homes as well as 2 trailer parks, all in South Carolina. I belong to a national real estate investment mastery group and also meet weekly with a local investment group comprised of landlords, flippers, lenders, contractors, brokers and agents. I decided to get my real estate license in order to broaden the possibilities within the investment realm as well as spend some of my time and energy as an agent, where I believe I can bring a unique perspective to European retail customers as well as those who want to purchase fixer uppers.
