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!

We didn't know Tom Ruch when we began our search and were seeking a local Realtor; he was recommended to us through a friend in the area. Tom was a great resource and support as we looked for an Ocean City beachfront condo. Our living out of the area added a challenge, yet Tom accommodated our limited ability to come to town for showings, plus effectively brought his local knowledge and connections to the process -- a great asset! I appreciated his insights into properties we considered and his good communication with us and also as an intermediary between us and the seller. Plus, once our offer was accepted, he was so helpful in recommending high-quality local professionals needed for inspection, financing, etc. Tom was great to work with!

Tom and I have been working together for a period of time with one goal in mindaEUR|sell one home and buy another in a specific location, simultaneously. We did it and it couldnt have been done without Tom knowing exactly what I wanted and where! I received more than my asking price for my home and he was kind enough to negotiate and utilize some technics I never knew existed to get the property I wanted. I would highly recommend Tom if youre looking for a realtor.

Tom did an outstanding job! He was very thorough. He knew the area well. He strongly advocated for us and without him, we would have never gotten our dream home. Thanks Bob and Marilyn Luke

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!
