Your Partners in Property Management, Real Estate & Rehab Work

Founder/Broker

V. Thomas Weclew IV

Tommy Weclew grew up in Hollywood, Florida and moved to Orlando in 2001. He soon began buying houses with his family; rehabbing, placing a qualified tenant and selling the property to investors looking to diversify their portfolio income. The business, The Realty Medics, grew mostly by word of mouth and has led to over 2,000 happy buyers, investors and listings sold.

“I decided to not become a huge brokerage with a bunch of agents and instead focus on our clients.”

In 2008, Tommy and The Realty Medics added a property management division.

“Our investors were looking for a property management company they could trust and kept their cash flow as the number one priority. This would not work if we weren’t selling our investors properties that are a great investment. If we can’t rent it and produce cash flow we won’t pitch it to our clients.”

The Realty Medics also added a property rehab/repair company. The Realty Medics are able to offer their investors very affordable initial rehab costs with the added security of a one year warranty on all repairs.

“Our investors are able to start reaping the benefits of their investment quickly. In less than 30 days after purchasing a property we typically are able to rehab, secure a qualified tenant and start earning income for the investors.”

A few years ago, Tommy met with longtime friend Ben Sencenbaugh, to discuss ways to grow the business while keeping the personal touch that Tommy’s clients appreciated. Tommy and Ben had very similar personal goals and they knew instantly that joining forces would be a perfect.

As of 2018, Tommy, Ben and their team were given the award for being in the top 50 fastest growing companies in Central Florida by the Orlando Business Journal. Currently managing 900+ properties valued at over $200,000,000 and continuing to grow each month by providing the best customer service to their clients.

The Realty Medics manage properties from Poinciana to Daytona Beach.
