TCCO Professional Network
Good professionals help make successful homeowners.
Homeownership creates needs long after a transaction is complete.
Thomas-Chambers Company develops relationships with professionals who help homeowners maintain, repair, improve, protect and better understand their properties.
But before we talk about referrals or opportunities, we'd rather understand something more important:
Current Network Needs
Who we'd like to meet right now.
Our professional network grows in response to real homeowner and property needs. These are some of the relationships we're currently interested in expanding.
Roofing Professionals
We're actively looking to strengthen our relationships with responsive, experienced roofing professionals serving the East Bay.
HVAC Professionals
We're developing stronger HVAC relationships so we can better respond when homeowner heating, cooling and system needs arise.
General Contractors
Repair, renovation, project coordination and property improvement.
Electricians
Residential electrical work, troubleshooting, upgrades and modernization.
Plumbers
Residential plumbing, repairs, improvements and system-related needs.
Landscaping & Gardening
Property care, outdoor improvements, garden support and ongoing maintenance.
Don't see your profession?
Homeownership creates a wide range of needs. If your work helps people maintain, improve, protect or better enjoy their property, we'd still like to understand what you do.
The Thomas-Chambers Way
We want to know more than what you do.
A business card may tell us that someone is an electrician, contractor, roofer, painter, landscaper or another type of professional. It does not tell us what work they enjoy most, where they work best, what they are especially good at, what they prefer not to take on, or what they are trying to accomplish with their business.
What do you do best?
We want to understand your services, specialties, experience and the types of problems you are especially good at solving.
What work do you want?
Not every project is a good fit for every professional. We want to understand the projects, customers and opportunities that make the most sense for you.
What are you building?
Maybe you are growing a crew, building your brand, entering new markets, developing stronger relationships or simply looking for better-fit opportunities.
Before we decide where you may fit within our network, we'd like to understand what you're trying to accomplish.
How The Network Works
Relationships first. Opportunities when they make sense.
We are not trying to build the biggest list of professionals. We are trying to develop useful relationships over time, based on fit, communication and real-world experience.
Introduce
Tell us about your business, your strengths, your service areas and the kinds of opportunities that make sense for you.
Connect
When a homeowner or property need appears to be a reasonable fit, appropriate opportunities may create an introduction.
Experience
Real-world interaction helps us better understand communication, responsiveness, project fit and the overall experience of working together.
Build
Strong professional relationships can develop over time as we learn more about where your work, experience and business goals fit best.
A professional profile is an introduction, not a guarantee. Submitting information does not guarantee work, referrals, endorsement, inclusion in any TCCO resource, preferred status or any future trust designation.
More Than Referrals
There may be more ways to work together.
Good professional relationships can create value beyond an individual project. As the network develops, there may be opportunities to share knowledge, collaborate, participate in community efforts and help homeowners better understand the people and professions that support their homes.
Homeowner Education
Share practical knowledge, answer common questions and help homeowners better understand maintenance, repairs, systems and property decisions.
Content & Interviews
Participate in videos, interviews and educational content that helps explain your profession and the work homeowners may encounter.
Community
Participate in appropriate homeowner events, workshops, neighborhood initiatives and other community-based opportunities.
Professional Collaboration
Build relationships with TCCO and, where appropriate, with other home and property professionals whose work may complement your own.
Business Visibility
TCCO is exploring additional ways to help quality local professionals tell their stories, share their expertise and increase visibility for their businesses.
You do not have to participate in every part of the network. The goal is to understand what interests you, what fits your business and where collaboration may make sense over time.
