I live in Indian Head Park & serve the surrounding Western Suburbs of Chicago. I am very active in the community, and take a great joy in giving back. As a 25 year resident of Indian Head Park I have an intimate knowledge of the local western suburb’s real estate market, and using my large network of connections to serve my clients. My goals are to keep my clients informed about the Real Estate market so they can make informed investment, buying and selling decisions. I work hard to provide high quality service, support and information all through the buying or selling process. I combine a vast knowledge of real estate with my marketing expertise using a progressive marketing campaign of a combination of social media, networking, email, internet and direct mail to help my clients reach their goals. I am certified as a Real Estate Negotiation Expert and Staging Consultant.

I have grown up in the real estate business working at a family real estate business, managing properties, rehabbing and property investments. I earned a BS in Computer Information Systems in the Business College at Arizona State University. My past work experiences have including starting a staffing & technical solutions company Bantic, Inc. in 2000 and prior to that 15 years in technology management for several Chicago area corporations.

I focus on the Western Suburbs of Chicago: specifically Bridgeview, Brookfield, Burr Ridge, Clarendon Hills, Countryside, Downers Grove, Hickory Hills, Hinsdale, Hodgkins, Indian Head Park, Justice, La Grange, La Grange Highlands, Lisle, McCook, Naperville, Oak Brook, Western Springs, Willowbrook and Willow Springs.

I am active in my area communities, and I was the Mayor of the Village of Indian Head Park until 2023. I have served as the La Grange Highlands District 106 School Board President, D106 Educational Foundation, Local Little League President and other community organizations. I started a 501c3 non-profit organization ATH – Assisting the Homeless to help the homeless. Since starting in 2005 I have helped raised over $155,000 that has been donated to homeless shelters, most of that going to the La Grange based BEDS Plus homeless organization.

Candace Hanley

Tom worked diligently to assist in the sale of the property. Tom continuously kept us informed on the status of potential buyers and offers. Tom was essential from step one of the process to closing. I would highly recommend Tom as a real estate agent.

Sandra Rice

Tom was an excellent broker always stepped up to what ever we asked I would highly recommend him for a broker

Kim Page

Tom helped us sell our house even before it went public. We had a buyer. He was always responsive even when I had a million question or was panicking because of our village. I didn’t have a real estate attorney and he was able to recommend a great one for us. Enjoyed working with both of them.

Marie Novotny

I would recommend Tom to anyone looking for agent who keeps the lines of communication clear and open on even the smallest detail. He offered guidance and choices when questions of concern came up. Marie Novotny

B Boyd

Buying or selling a home is one of the top stressors in life. That being said, one needs someone who is available, honest, patient and optimistic. Tom Hinshaw is all of these. There are few things more troubling than having to wait for your realtor’s answer to your phone call. Tom always got back to us immediately or in a timely manner.

We would highly recommend using Tom Hinshaw for your Real Estate needs. He was able to get our home listed quickly while we were out of town. Once we returned, he was a great communicator and gave feedback after each showing. After we had our contract and were in the process of packing for our move, he went above and beyond to help with our charity donations. He made our move less stress...

John Janon

I can’t say enough about working with Tom. No matter how many times I called about viewing a property, he was kind enough to make time for me. He is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Gerrie and Bruce Nechuta

It took us almost two years to find "the one" and during that time Tom was always patient and encouraging. We will always remember when he told us "It's out there we just have to find it". He was knowledgeable about the market and made us aware of changes. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for their forever home.

Robert Young

I’m just thrilled with how everything turned out. Tom was spot on with everything to do with the sale of my place and had a steady hand at the wheel as we worked our way through the process. We are very excited with our new home and a new adventure. Thank you for everything!

Amy McCrary

If you are looking for someone who will go anywhere Tom is your guy! Tom walked through some pretty beat up houses with me and I was very unsure of what exactly I wanted.

Katie Zimmerman

Tom provided a wealth of insight and information for me before and during the sale of my mother's home in St. John, IN. It was a long time in the making to get my mother's home on the market and a situation which I was not terribly excited to face as it had been her home for the past 25 years (lots of stuff). Because my mother lived in St. John, IN, I wasn't very familiar with the resou...

Nancy & Jack Meingast

Tom recently helped us sell our home. Not only was Tom thorough in talking us through the process ( it had been 30 years) but was always there to answer questions. The house was on the market for only 54 days till closing which was great. He did a great job promoting it along with numerous open houses. We would highly recommend Tom for either buying or selling.

Keith Fezekas

I appreciated all that Tom had done to sell my home. Starting with several meetings prior to going on the market for tips on best curb appeal and marketing strategy, to following up with clients and myself after showings. Once an offer was received, he was very involved to resolve any issues or questions that came up to see a successful closing.

Marc Veverka

I trusted Tom to help me with selling 2 condos and it paid off. Tom got immediate results. We priced the condos right and Tom was able to get many showings and offers. Tom values his client's time, he just about answered every time I called him. His communication was great, he was very thorough and timely. Tom has the experience that you can depend on. You will be happy with Tom, all the...

As first-time home buyers who questioned the need for a realtor, Tom Hinshaw quickly proved himself invaluable.
