Meet Our People

Published September 22, 2021 by Salem Barcus

Thomas Hester is a bona fide Raleigh native. He is an App State graduate who joined the York brokerage team seven years ago after stints teaching high school civics in upstate France, working off-Broadway at Tweetsie Railroad, and walking the streets as an analyst for the Downtown Raleigh Alliance. Thomas specializes in retail properties and strategic redevelopment in Raleigh, the Triangle, and throughout the state.

You may spot Thomas and his wife, Caity, around town riding their bikes on the greenway, running with their two dogs in nearby Dix Park, or breaking it down at their favorite local concert venue.

Thomas says, “Working at York is truly a privilege. The depth of experience on our team is unmatched in the market. There’s no way to replicate the institutional knowledge that York has earned over the past century as the firm has helped to build Raleigh into what it is today. A wise broker once told me ‘the best fertilizer for a piece of property is the owner’s [agent’s] boot prints,’ and that full-service mentality is what drives me to do the extraordinary things that I do here at York Properties.”

We are so happy to have Thomas here!
