CEO & Founder
Keith Thomas is the founder and CEO of Private Capital Investors, bringing over 30 years of real estate and finance expertise to the company. Mr. Thomas began his real estate career in 1993 with his first investment in an office building in downtown Washington, D.C. He quickly advanced to become an asset manager at TransAmerica Mortgage Company, where he managed the acquisition of millions of dollars in mortgage notes daily.
Building on his success in private equity, Mr. Thomas returned to Georgetown, Washington, D.C., to establish his own residential mortgage company. As one of the top originators in the nation, he earned a reputation for excellence and client-focused service. Later, he transitioned into commercial real estate, founding his own commercial mortgage brokerage. In this role, he oversaw a team of 50 professionals, specializing in multifamily, office, healthcare, and retail property financing.
Throughout his distinguished career, Mr. Thomas has been personally involved in financing transactions totaling over $11 billion. His deep industry knowledge, hands-on leadership, and commitment to client success have made him a recognized authority in commercial real estate lending.
Mr. Thomas holds a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from Georgetown University and an MBA in Finance.
