MEET TOM GAVIN

Name the 3 most important decisions in a lifetime, and purchasing and selling a home likely could make your list.

My name is Tom Gavin. REALTOR®, business leader, and world class student in customer service skills.  Honesty and integrity, along with a maniacal attention to detail, are foundational beliefs I begin and end each day with.

My co team member, Damarys Ayala and I pledge to always think "client outcomes." Yours.

Heralding from a small New England town instilled in me the importance of living my life according to a set of standards. Relocating to Maryland while growing my business, I’ve now lived a majority of my life here. Not sure at first how long I was going to stay when I first arrived over twenty years ago, I caught on to the similar ways people live their lives here. Ways in which I was raised. Roots are important here and those values are passed down, generation after generation.

In less than six months after arriving, I had decided that with as much opportunity as was presented to me here, I was crazy for thinking there was more anywhere else. I stayed.

Two things I did struggle with. I just could not come to grips with this passion the locals had for sitting at a picnic table picking away at a crustacean from the Chesapeake Bay and become practically filthy from the process. What?!?

All this work and I still craved for a burger 2 hours later?? Welcome Tom, to his first Maryland Crab Feast. I have learned and now possess the how-to skills close enough to be thought of as a native Marylander.

The other issue I had was… folks here root for the wrong baseball team. Sorry. When you’re born in Montague Massachusetts all catholic babies emerge from the womb a Red Sox fan.

Can I help with your real estate dreams?

Spend 5 minutes with me. You'll know quickly if your goals for listing match our skills.

I won’t make promises here. Only 2 assurances.  Here goes …

  • If I or my teammates feel we can help you, we’ll say so.
  • If for any reason we feel we cannot, we’ll say so as well.

How about a cup of coffee, perhaps a piece of pie, share a few stories with each other and explore what areas best that Tom Gavin’s Home Team can best serve you?

 

MEET DAMARYS AYALA

My name is Damarys Ayala - the other half of Team Gavin. I am motivated by relationships. People energize me. For that reason, this business is a perfect fit for me.

Originally from Fajardo, Puerto Rico, I traveled the world with my family while my dad served in the military. We lived in a melting pot of cultures, including San Juan, Costa Rica, Germany, and Massachusetts.

I was always fascinated by the differences in homes from one region to the next. It’s no wonder I went into real estate in 2005. Committed to family and faith, I enjoy volunteering at Mountain Christian Church alongside Tom. Depending on the season, I can also be found rooting on the Orioles and the Redskins. A second-degree black belt in Taekwondo, my belief in daily self-improvement along with my drive to succeed carries over into my work ethic. I am passionate about our clients’ dreams and will strive to do all I can to help you achieve them.

What sets me apart?

  • A passion for industry knowledge that keeps me abreast of the latest trends in the industry. I love to learn. What factors determine market trends? What variables determine prices and rates? Research and study are an ongoing process if you want to serve your clients in the best way possible in this industry.
  • An obsession for customer care along with a sincere empathy for the occasional challenge a seller or buyer may face is the engine that drives me.
  • Fluency in two languages.
  • A real team approach. Tom and I play off each other’s skills. One plus one equals much more than two when you hire Tom Gavin's Home Team of Coldwell Banker Realty.

 

Now, tell us more about your move.

 

What is the trigger for this change? We find that when we understand this, we can better help you reach your goals.

This is a really fun business. It is a privilege and an honor to work with people as they make such a momentous decision.

 

Our clients are more than a business transaction. For us, it's personal.

 

Call today and tell us about your dreams!

"We were so fortunate to have found Tom and Damarys at Long & Foster. As our Realtors, they helped us to sell our house in 7 days while the past previous 2 agents couldn’t for months. We worked with Tom and Damarys in Aug 2017 to sell our home, and we couldn't have been more pleased! We received multiple offers the first day the house went on the market, thanks in large part to their incredible work. They brought in a fabulous photographer and videographer to showcase our home online, which created much more foot traffic and brought in serious buyers. Their marketing style is top-notch and can't be beaten! Although we received multiple offers, we ended up working with nervous first-time buyers. Tom and Damarys were wonderful in keeping the transaction moving along and getting to closing in a timely manner. They were always available to answer our questions (and the buyers!). We had a great experience and would highly recommend them to everyone!"

  -Baran Irani, Client

"In an industry that seems to only get more complicated over time, working with Tom and Damarys made for the easiest home purchase or sale I've ever experienced. Before ever looking at my house, they took the time to learn about me and ensured they understood my personal needs in selling my home. As a military member not stationed near the home, this became important to me because I wasn't available when the home hit the market. Nonetheless, they knew what my house needed, encouraged me to make modest home improvements that raised my home's bottom line and marketability, and within five days of listing in a saturated community, they sold my house. Along the way, their communication was top-notch, I was never surprised or lead astray, and they just made me feel like they had the entire transaction covered, and my job watches to watch them make it happen. Especially for anyone who leads a busy life without the time to follow up on other people's work, Tom and Damarys are the way to go."

  -Mick Scott, Client

"Very knowledgeable and friendly Damarys was delightful to work with. She has a broad knowledge of the market and stays current as it changes. She helped me to get my house under contract for a higher than list price within less than a week on the market. I highly recommend Damarys and Tom! "

  -Beth, Client

"Tom and Demarys are AWESOME to work with. They looked at my home, suggested some options to make it more buyer-ready and their foresight was on point! Very easy experience, I didn’t have to worry about a thing once they took over! Don’t look any further...you found your team...Team Gavin"
