ZillowVERIFIED I recently used Tom to sell a home in the Bethany area, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Over the past twenty five years I've used several different Realtors to buy and sell homes in the area, but Tom had recently sold another home in the same development so I wanted to get his opinion on the house I was selling. Tom is very personable, and after hearing his thoughts about the property and how he would market it I knew that I didn't need to look any further. From that first meeting through settlement everything went perfectly, and that's because Tom is very knowledgable about the area and the entire process. Communicating with Tom was A+, whether though phone, text, or email, he's very responsive. I'll only use Tom from here on out, and I don't hesitate to refer him to family and friends.

ZillowVERIFIED Tom was very thorough with explaining how he would market our condo. His communication was good and kept us informed with providing feedback from our showings. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend or use him again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED 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!

ZillowVERIFIED 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.

ZillowVERIFIED Tom and his team are awesome Everyone worked together to make my house look its best. It was a very good house and it sold very quickly but i must give some credit to their excellent photography and marketing job. From the beginning to the end on closing day, everything went unbelievably smoothly. Tom really knows the local market. He is really personable and super responsive I strongly recommend Tom and Northrup Realty.

ZillowVERIFIED Tom was involved in extensive negotiations and unique situations throughout the process. He remained calm, professional and always available. He answered complex questions as well as simple ones that came up along the way. Tom went above and beyond was even present for and septic inspection, and when I met with contractors. He was truly the "realtor extraordinaire.

ZillowVERIFIED You cant go wrong with Tom. He listened to me and got the deal done. He is also very easy to work with and an all around good guy. He either showed me what i wanted to see, or put me in touch with his associate if it was out of his area.

Review for Member: Tom Ruch
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.!

ZillowVERIFIED Tom was a fantastic help in our search for a very specific type of waterfront property. His knowledge of the area, and his patience in answering (and researching) our questions, made the experience less stressful. Tom is a pleasure to work with - and we highly recommend him!

Review for Member: Tom Ruch
ZillowVERIFIED Tom is an excellent person in his field. My experience working with him is nothing but extremely satisfying. In recent months he helped me selling two properties (one was a really challenging job in many ways but he very professionally handled all the process to make it an easy venture for both of us i.e.the seller and buyer). His presentation of properties was more accurate and better then I expected. His communication and updates at every stage were very helpful to me. He helped me with his recommendations which resulted in finalizing the deals in swift.on Any person looking for an agent should consider Tom as the best. Best of luck to Tom and his team. Mirza.

ZillowVERIFIED I met Tom the day we went to see the first and only house we looked at! During the visit, Tom explained to me every aspect of the house that is common in the coastal area (crawl space, septic tank, water well, etc); he explained with a lot of details, which made me feel confident in his opinion about the house. He went up to the attic and down to the crawl space to look for damage or mold or anything bad, he was not afraid of getting dirt on his pants! Promptly after we finished the walk through the property he proposed a strong offer which he submitted just a couple of hours later. The offer was accepted and the process went very smoothly with his guidance. I highly recommend Tom as your realtor, he is a knowledgeable, friendly, happy, and gentle person. I could not be happier to have him as my realtor.

Review for Member: Tom Ruch
ZillowVERIFIED 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!

ZillowVERIFIED 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!!

Review for Member: Tom Ruch
ZillowVERIFIED Tom really went above and beyond to sell my home quickly, with ease, and at a price that exceeded my expectations and still delivered a value purchase to the buyers. When I approached Tom I had a tough ask, I wanted him to help me sell and market a recently renovated home that I had owned for 10 years, the catch, I wanted it sold two months ago and needed it listed ASAP. Within 72 hours Tom and his team had the listing active and an open house scheduled. 2 days after listing the property was under contract. Tom helped navigate the pre-closing details like property inspections and walk-throughs, and he also made sure that the closing preparation was seamless. Would recommend Tom to family, friends, and colleagues alike.

ZillowVERIFIED Tom was able to take our description of what we wanted for a beach propery and turn it into a reality. He was pleasant, responsive, and kept our best interest in mind during our search. He did well negotiating price and seller pre-purchase repairs which made ownership transition very easy. We will use him again when searching for our next property.

ZillowVERIFIED When I first met Tom, I thought aEURoewow hes young and probably doesnt have a lot of experienceaEUR?. But he impressed me and I decided to give him a go. I am so glad I did! I have bought and sold 4 different homes in my life and I have to say the experience with Tom was stellar! He was knowledgeable about the market, really worked at getting my home out there in front of buyers and kept in touch with any who had expressed interest. But best of all he communicated with me the whole way. He responded in a timely manner any time I contacted him. He was extreme professional in all of our dealings and I would HIGHLY recommend him!

ZillowVERIFIED Tom did an excellent job getting us into our new home. He gave us great advice on the buy and sell side for pricing, and we were able to get under contract for buying and selling in under 2 weeks. Incredible turn around and great communication. Tom also helped organize and schedule various inspections and helped to make sure everything that needed to be taken care of was. I would recommend using Tom to anyone and know that he will satisfy his customers needs.

Review for Member: Tom Ruch
ZillowVERIFIED Tom has gone above and beyond what I believe any other realtor would have done for me. I lived out of state while my house in MD was for sale. He recommended and contacted contractors for me for various work that needed to be done and made numerous trips many miles to check on things for me. His response to me and to problems that arose was always in a timely manner. Through this process he has also become my friend.

Review for Member: Tom Ruch
ZillowVERIFIED Tom is a professional! He was the first broker to call me after searching for one on-line. He is very personable and relatable to buyers. As I am buying from out of state, Tom took it upon himself to film houses, create a video of those houses and send that personalized video. This made him stand out against all other brokers that contacted me as they just wanted to try the easy route of live video chat. I could also review his videos again if needed, something you cant do with live video. Unfortunately I ended up changing brokers due to a rewards program but not without asking for Tom and his agency first (his agency was not with the reward program for my lender). I would highly recommend Tom as he will work hard for you and has your best interest in mind!

Review for Member: Tom Ruch
ZillowVERIFIED Tom Ruch was a knowledgeable and very attentive real estate professional. We reached out to him in search of a second home for our family. Us being from out of the area, we knew our time to walk through some possible units would be limited. He created an account on the realtor website for us to view listings he recommended based on our wants, needs and price range. When the time came to meet up, he helped us narrow down the best options making the search efficient, productive and enjoyable. We quickly knew we had found the one! We immediately felt comfortable with having Tom represent us in negotiations and he provided us with recommendations for an "A-Team" to help the transaction go as smoothly as possible. We are pleased to recommend Tom to anyone for their home purchases. Our gratitude for your patience, insight, and efforts!

Review for Member: Tom Ruch
ZillowVERIFIED I owned a piece of real estate that was located in Toms normal market area. I called one day to discuss the resale and he stopped by and went over all the possibilities. He was very down to earth and knowledgeable about his market area. He told me what I could expect based on the condition of the property. This property was located in a condo complex with other units being listed at the approximately same value. Although this was a very fast resale everything happened very close to what Rich had to me to expect. I was a pleasure working with Tom
