About Tom Ruch

I'm a Maryland & Delaware licensed Realtor connecting my clients' goals and expectations with results. I founded BayShore Group for a few key reasons, but most importantly to provide the ultimate experience when buying or selling real estate on the Delmarva Peninsula. This is why I invest my time into developing systems and investing in tools that support our mission. I founded my first team in 2018, though I've been selling real estate since 2015. I've been awarded the Salisbury Office Rookie of the Year, Coastal Region Rookie of the Year, Chairman's Club Gold Team Member for Long & Foster, as well as #1 in Sales Volume as an individual agent for the Salisbury Office in 2017. In 2018, we had the top team in the office, even with just a partial year! While our growth and vision continues, we want to keep our clients #1. We are thankful every day we are given the opportunity to help folks buy and sell real estate locally. In 2019 I moved my business to Northrop Realty, a Long & Foster company. I rebranded our sales team to BayShore Group. While we continue to service properties along the Chesapeake Bay, we have a bigger focus on expanding our business around coastal Maryland & Delaware. Northrop Realty provides the most outstanding, full-service marketing and client communications experience ANYWHERE and I'm proud to align my brand with them. Let's talk about how we can help you! Tom as been living on the shore for 15 years. My family is made up of my beautiful wife Tara and my two baby girls Nora & Eva. If you'd like to get to know me more, let's grab coffee!

Personal, efficient, and competent. Good communication.and follow thru. He went over and above the call of duty. He is the very best. You would be a fool to use anybody else.

We interviewed other area ealtors prior to selecting Tom. His marketing plan, familiarity with the area, market, and our builder was the reason we contracted with him. Our home was staged perfectly and his ability to get the word out was the reason our home sold at our desired price and short timeframe. We would highly recommend using Tom and his staff. Thanks to all.!

I was appointed executor of my late sister's estate and needed to sell a condo in Ocean City. I had intended to interview 3 agents but stopped at 2 because I was so impressed with Tom's knowledge, marketing plan, and expertise. It took some time to prep the condo for sale and Tom was supportive and helpful through the whole process. He had specific knowledge of estate sales and advised me accordingly -- I couldn't be happier. As a bonus, his office administrator (Grace) was exceptionally responsive and helpful as well. Both of them did a lot of "hand-holding" for me during a quite stressful time and are much appreciated!

My husband and I saw tons of units in Ocean City, MD and in Delaware. Tom was great accommodating his schedule to show us homes. Coming from the DC area, it was always on a whim. He helped us settled on a perfect water front property in DE through tough negotiations with the sellers. Our little family and friends have enjoyed the pool and beach that our place has offered us this summer. Thank you, Tom, and his team!!

Tom was very responsive and available for questions as we moved along the process of buying our first home. We had been trying to buy a home in PA but when we decided to buy in MD and were referred to Tom, we were quickly able to move forward with his help!Were very thankful for him!

Answered Questions

Does my realtor have a legal responsibility to disclose ?

Not familiar with real estate law in IL, however in Maryland and Delaware where I am licensed as an agent (not an attorney), you need to be aware of what the material facts are. As an agent, if you see something you must disclose it. If the homeowner tells you something but does not disclose it on the property disclosure, the agent is bound to pass that information on to the prospective buyer. Part of what you're describing is: homeownership. Things can and will happen at any time. And, it's been a particularly cold season which is causing all sorts of mechanical and electrical systems to act differently (or not at all). When you were in the buying process did you get a home inspection? If so, it should give you the condition and age of the systems. With this knowledge, and having a qualified contractor go through any known issues as a result of the inspection, you should have a solid idea on what's going on in the house. I understand that is a frustrating, costly and probably freezing cold experience. But unless the Realtor working for you withheld information from you (which they cannot ethically do), they are most likely not liable. Refer back to your sales contract, inspection agreement and report and review limitations. Good luck!
