About Tom Mestmak om Mestmaker ii Tom's very first transaction was for a Veteran who came through Coldwell Banker's relocation program and Navy Federal Credit Union. The client's property he was wanting to buy was located in Inyokern, which is in the middle of the desert, and was the property he had been looking for for years.
