John Thomas, Chicago Agent’s editor in chief

Real estate is one of the most exciting and dynamic topics for a journalist to be covering. Good and bad, up and down, flip and flop, the news never seems to stop, and there is no shortage of crucial stories to dig into and compelling people to interview and profile.

That’s really what enticed me to join Agent Publishing as its new editor in chief. The real estate industry is at the center of our economy, and to be at the center of reporting on it was an amazing opportunity. And because this is such a people-driven business, I am looking forward to meeting with and learning from the individuals who are at the center of driving it.

We will of course continue to deliver first-class reporting and news to help real estate professionals do their jobs best, but I will also be working with our talented staff to expand and refine our coverage, including new print franchises and expanded digital offerings. Please feel free to reach out to me with your comments and feedback, and I look forward to the challenge of delivering to you the most vital and useful information about the industry.
