Tom TarantoThe past 25 years have trained me in many skills and abilities that are often critical in serving our clients in a real estate transaction. In 1990 I moved from Melbourne Florida to Sweden, where I spent the next 14 years working with top corporate executives in the field of training and development. Many of the subjects I taught have proven very useful in the past 11 years that I have worked as a real estate agent and Broker/Owner.

I trained companies such as Sony Ericsson, AstraZeneca, IBM, Pharmacia, the Swedish Prime Ministers staff, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, the Stockholm School of Economics, Venture Cup, Telia, Tele2, EDS, the Department for Civilian Defense, Statistics Sweden, and the Swedish Consumer Agency.

I learned to speak fluent Swedish and translated hundreds of documents, articles and presentations from Swedish to English. I have also translated several books, including a 300-page book on Crisis Management.

I trained executives in the subject of International Communication Skills. That includes Language, Culture, Presentations, Meetings, and Negotiations. My team worked with Harvard Business Schools negotiations training, Fons Trompenaars Culture Training, and cutting-edge Presentation Skills Training.

By 2004 I was one of the only travelling speakers and trainers in the subject of cultural diversity in the entire country.

Many of these skills have proven invaluable for me in the past 11 years while selling and marketing properties, dealing with many different cultures right here in Florida, negotiating great deals for my clients, and typing clear and error-free contracts. The skills I trained others for so many years are now serving me and my clients.

I have also always been an active networker. In Stockholm I was an Assistant Director for BNI (Business Network International) for 4 years. I started and helped networking groups and attended and conducted 3 meetings a week. Still today I am President of the Elite Referral Network in the Melbourne Regional Chamber of Commerce and Vice President of Golden Providers network, which focuses on serving senior citizens. I am active in the local chamber and a strong believer in warm referrals and the power of word-of-mouth marketing.

Besides my interest in the properties themselves, the financial and legal elements, I also love the technology now so powerful in real estate. For example, I began using electronic signatures long before they became common-place. We are still using technology as a competitive advantage and you will always find us trying new things to make the process easier and better. Keller Williams International really helps facilitate this as well.

Myself, my wife, and our three boys, moved back from Sweden to Florida in 2004. I began as a Realtor that year, and got my Brokers license shortly after. I began as the Broker of Land O Lots Realty in 2009, and Taranto Realty in 2011. Our team had over 12 agents before we made the move to join Keller Williams.

The Keller Williams Brevard team has over 75 agents, plus staff. In 2015 it became the #1 Real Estate company in the world by agent count. It has also won awards as being the #1 Training company in the world across industries.

In recent years my wife Jeanette has joined me as an agent and now we work together every day serving our clients.

We complement each other well, and often see the same property or project from different perspectives. Certain clients relate better to one or the other of us. We find this gives our clients a great customer experience
