    About Gary Ashton

    Gary Ashton didn't originally set out to lead the #1 RE/MAX team in the world--but he's built it by consistently staying ahead of the curve in real estate technology, partnerships, and client service. As the founder of The Ashton Real Estate Group of RE/MAX Advantage, Gary has led his Nashville-based team to over 10,000 homes sold, $5 billion in volume, and the #1 RE/MAX team ranking seven years in a row. The team averages 2,000 closings per year, ranks in the Top 10 RealTrends Mega Teams by volume and transactions, and is in the top 1% of agents in the Greater Nashville MLS. Originally from Leeds, England, Gary's background in music and advertising gave him a creative, client-focused foundation. After moving to Florida to support his family's hospitality business, he relocated to Nashville and earned his real estate license in 2001. Early on, he used his marketing expertise to build one of the first online lead-gen systems in the area, which helped fuel rapid growth with Crye-Leike in Hendersonville. A turning point came in 2004 when Gary secured an exclusive partnership with Nashville.com, generating a wave of buyer leads and prompting his move to RE/MAX Elite. From there, his focus on tech adoption, training, and transparency helped the team scale through both hot and challenging markets--including the 2008 downturn. Gary's team is now the official real estate partner of the Nashville Predators, a Realtor.com MVIP partner, and a Best of Zillow recipient with 1,495 five-star reviews on Zillow and 1,333+ Google reviews. In 2024, Gary's team was awarded Inman's Most Innovative Team, with another nomination in 2025--solidifying his leadership in forward-thinking real estate strategies. Specializing in luxury homes, relocation, equestrian properties, lakefront homes, and new construction, Gary and his team serve clients across Brentwood, Franklin, Green Hills, 12 South, Belle Meade, Mount Juliet, Hendersonville, East Nashville, and the Old Hickory Lake area. Holding designations like E-Pro, ABR, and CRS, Gary continues to innovate while staying grounded in hard work, integrity, and results.

    I couldnt have had a better experience buying a home for the first time. Our agent, Guhdar, showed us a few homes and made the home buying experience quick and simple when we decided on a home.

    My wife and I were wanting to move but weren't really sure how to make it a reality. We had started looking at homes on Zillow over 1 year ago and had met Wayne while touring a house. When we requested a tour on Zillow for our eventual purchase home, Wayne immediately reached out to us and got us started on the process of selling our current home and buying the new one. This was a good sign because Wayne's responsiveness was outstanding throughout the entire process of buying and selling. Wayne did a great job of providing resources and answering questions through each step. The pricing and listing he facilitated was spot on for showcasing and selling our house quickly in a saturated market. I would highly recommend Wayne for your real estate needs.

    We bought a house that this realtor was selling. He listed the house as being on public sewer. Its also has all documents as public sewer. It was actually on septic tank and we found out 3 days after moving in because our basement bathroom started flooding from the septic tank. We had someone come out to verify that it was a septic tank. This realtor broke the law by stating that it was on sewer. An agent has to list a septic tank if there is one. He and the buyer knew this and decided to list as public sewer. We will be reporting him the the tennessee licensing board and contacting a lawyer.

    Brittany was wonderful and the listing she posted was so phenomenal that we had an offer at asking price literally just hours after the listing went public! I had to sell my father-in-law's house after he passed and from the minute I met Brittany at the house I knew I wanted her as my realtor. She was so helpful throughout the whole process. I wasn't from the area and was handling the estate from Michigan. Brittany sent me company contacts for cleaning out the house and handling repairs that the buyer's lender required literally at the very last minute. There is no way I would have been able to close on time if it wasn't for her help procuring contractors and negotiating rates on repairs. Thank you, Brittany!!
