I’ve been in the business for 22 awesome years and grew up in a real estate family (Mom and Dad).
I started selling when I was 23 years old but grew up scraping and painting old signs and mowing yards of vacant listings for my parent’s listings when I was a kid. Now I have taken on a great role of offering country property to folks from all over the world.
I enjoy selling in our “Mayberry-like” small town of Appomattox just a hop, skip and jump to the city of Lynchburg.
In the past, I finished in the top 10 of United Country agents three times, including the #1 spot. Since then, I opened up my own independent Brokerage and have been the top agent multiple years in the Appomattox area for residential and land sales.
If you want to work with a professional who is coached through the Buffini system, has life goals, and is always eager to learn, I’d love to work with you!
My hobbies include hunting with my son and daughter, kayaking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, coaching my daughter in basketball, and spending quality time with my wife.
I began my real estate career at the age of 25. I have a strong passion for helping people obtain the American Dream of owning a home. I am a member at Providence Church in Lynchburg. I love spending my time with my beautiful wife and children.
Raised in Appomattox, I have a deep connection to the community. As a third generation consulting forester educated at Virginia Tech, I offer a robust ecologic and economic perspective for any land or residential real estate needs.

GETSPF100 7/06/2017Thomas was an active agent in the selling of our land. He sent us timely updates concerning the viewing of the property. He worked around our schedules and that is greatly appreciated.
bonken1 3/31/2015Thomas is the best realtor I know. Always courteous, knowledgeable, and prompt with answers to questions. He works hard for his clients and goes "above and beyond" to give the best service around. We have used him for two transactions, and found him to be tops in his field.
K W. 3/25/2015Thomas Nolen sold me a beautiful piece of property over a decade ago. I lived out of town so I relied upon him to be my eyes and ears. He understood my requirements so well that I bought the property sight unseen (except pictures and his verbal description). I always advise friends to use him. In addition, I have called upon him for local information. And I love every interaction with him! He is... read moreThomas Nolen sold me a beautiful piece of property over a decade ago.

He is always upbeat. I never have to worry about whose side he is on. He is able to be 100% selfless and do what is right for his customers. I highly recommend him! read less
wikka buhs 1/16/2019Thomas Nolan and his assistant, Drew, were so kind to us and they were so informative. Selling my parent's home was hard, but they were compassionate to our situation.

SHARON H. 9/27/2020Thomas and Drew were great to work with. Whenever I needed something they would have it to me in no time. When working with them it feels like your working with friends I will refer them to everyone so their buying/selling experience is just as great as mine was. I will continue to do business with them in the future. I only have positive comments towards them.
Nasti_hawkeye 9/02/2019We just recently purchased our first home. Drew was very responsive and helpful in finding the perfect home for our family. He thoroughly explained each step of the process and fully answered any questions we had. He also coordinated inspections and other appointments, which was a huge help during all the craziness of moving! We will definitely be using Drew again in the future!
Andrew A. 5/20/2020I am a local builder and have listed with Nolen Real Estate many times. Thomas and Drew are great to work with and very attentive to their client's needs!
