About

Tom is a Maryland & Delaware licensed real estate agent, who has lived on the Eastern Shore since 2005. After graduating from Salisbury University, he began working in advertising, product design, and digital marketing. After five years of learning the ropes in a mid-size company, he left in sight of better opportunity selling real estate with Long & Foster. His success came quickly, earning him Rookie of the Year for his office in 2015, then Rookie of the Year for the entire region of Long & Foster in 2016. The following year, Tom earned Overall Top Producer in the office of over 50 agents and became a member of the Long & Foster Gold Team for the first time. Carrying that momentum into 2018, he became licensed to sell in Delaware and soon after launched Adventure Group of Long & Foster. Adventure Group was a sales team founded on dynamic systems and advanced marketing tactics to offer the best possible customer experience. The Team focused on selling waterfront and coastal properties, land & farms, and single-family residential. After selling the highest volume of all Teams in the Salisbury profit center, Tom began looking for new areas of growth in the business. Tom connected with Creig Northrop, CEO of Northrop Realty, a Long & Foster Company in early 2019, looking to "Level Up" as they say at Northrop Realty. After meeting with Creig and learning about the amazing systems, coaching, and care Northrop Realty provides their agents and clients, a plan was developed for the Team to become part of the few founding associates at Northrop Realty's Fenwick Island office. This allowed Tom to offer a fresh brand with similar principles, and BayShore Group of Northrop Realty was born. BayShore Group of Northrop Realty covers a large geographical area: from Queen Annes County; east to Lewes, DE; south to Berlin, MD; west to Western Wicomico county, with several pocket markets of higher expertise. Tom's professional success would not have been possible without the help and continued support of his wife, Tara, a licensed real estate agent and strategic partner who has been by his side since day one. They keep a busy schedule with their two beautiful little girls, Nora and Eva. To be treated like family, give Tom a ring to see how he can help you win in real estate.

What My Clients Are Saying

“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 wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use him again in the future.”

“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 mind…sell one home and buy another in a specific location, simultaneously. We did it and it couldn’t 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 you’re looking for a realtor.”

“You can’t 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.”
