Today we’d like to introduce you to Thomas Cordasco
Hi THOMAS, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My journey has always been driven by a passion for leadership and making an impact, both on and off the field. As a former college quarterback, I developed natural leadership skills that helped shape who I am today. After moving from New Jersey to Florida, I met my amazing wife, and after we had our first child, I realized that I wanted to create a better future for my family.
I was working at the Fontainebleau, enjoying life on the beach, when the COVID pandemic hit, and like many, I found myself laid off. That moment was a turning point for me. I didn’t want to be stuck in the routine of a 9-5 job. My wife and I talked about how we wanted more time with each other and our kids, so we made a bold decision to pursue real estate together. Becoming Realtors allowed us to build our careers while also being present for our family.
Beyond real estate, I’ve always been deeply connected to the community. I coach football and basketball for boys and girls, which is something I’m incredibly passionate about. I was even honored at a Miami Dolphins game for my community involvement and coaching. Through coaching, I get to be a positive role model for young athletes, which is a role I take seriously.
I’m also a personal development coach, working with fathers like myself. My goal is to help them become the best versions of themselves, so they can lead their families with purpose and confidence.
Looking back, I see how each challenge and decision has shaped me into the leader and family man I am today. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m excited to continue growing and giving back in every way I can.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
One of the toughest struggles I faced was getting laid off due to COVID, just a week before my first child was about to be born. It was a time of so much uncertainty, and I was in a really tough state of mind. I didn’t know what was going to happen next—how I would provide for my family or what our future would look like. That feeling of losing control was overwhelming.
In that moment, I knew I had to make a choice. I could either stay in that negative mindset or rise above it for the sake of my family. My wife and I leaned on each other, and we made the decision to change our lives for the better. We dove into real estate, and while it was a challenging leap, it allowed us to create a life where we had more control over our time and future.
That period tested my resilience, but it also shaped me. It pushed me to think beyond a traditional 9-5 and find ways to lead my family and build a career that reflected our values. It was a hard road, but in hindsight, it gave me the strength to coach other fathers through similar challenges and teach them how to overcome the tough moments life throws at us.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
In addition to my passion for real estate, one of the most fulfilling aspects of my life is coaching kids, where I get to be a positive role model and make a difference in their lives. But what truly sets me apart as a Realtor is how much I’ve transformed personally, which has impacted every area of my life, including my business. Since the birth of my second daughter, I made the decision to eliminate all the vices that were holding me back, reconnect with God, and completely shift my mindset. Through discipline and daily non-negotiables, I’ve built healthy habits that not only changed my life but also strengthened my commitment to helping families find homes that support their goals and lifestyles.
I bring this same dedication to my clients. I understand the importance of creating a strong foundation, whether it’s through fitness, mindset, or building a home. Just as I coach fathers to be the best version of themselves, I guide my clients to make informed, empowered decisions, helping them find not just a house, but a space where they can thrive. My focus on discipline and healthy habits helps me serve my clients with the highest level of care and attention, ensuring they achieve their real estate goals while balancing their own family priorities.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
What brings me the greatest joy in life is my family. Nothing compares to the happiness I feel when I see my kids smiling, laughing, and thriving. Watching them grow, learn, and experience the world fills my heart in a way that nothing else can. Their happiness, health, and well-being mean everything to me, and I’m committed to giving them all the love, support, and guidance they need to become the best versions of themselves. My family is my foundation, my greatest source of motivation, and my reason for striving to improve myself every day.
Beyond my family, I find deep fulfillment in helping and inspiring others. There’s a unique sense of purpose and satisfaction that comes from empowering people to overcome their own challenges, grow, and reach their full potential. I truly believe that making a positive impact in the lives of others is my calling. Whether it’s through coaching, guiding clients, or simply offering a listening ear, I’m driven by a desire to uplift those around me. For me, life is about serving a purpose greater than myself, contributing to the well-being and success of others in a way that leaves a lasting impact.
