Get to Know Tom Atwood

I have experience in short sales and foreclosures. I am highly accessible, task oriented, and driven. My 9-member team, The Atwood Team, was formed with Keller Williams Realty Baltimore in September 2012.

Previously I was in the Currey Group. The Currey Group was #1 in Long & Foster’s region in total units sold in 2009. Of that 7-member team, I represented 50% of the total production of the group. The Baltimore region was Long & Foster’s largest region companywide—comprising Baltimore City and 9 surrounding counties. For the past 2 years, I have been enrolled in the REO program at Harris Real Estate University and hold an REO Specialist Designation. I am also a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE)

My real estate experience and expertise stretches from Baltimore City to the surrounding counties. I grew up in Baltimore County and have resided in Baltimore City for the past 10 years. My degree in marketing from Towson University and my experience in sales give me the edge to work with both buyers and sellers. Quality of service has been engrained in my business philosophy because I spent 15+ years in Sales and Management for Toyota Motor Sales. I am committed to customer service and believe in doing it right the first time. With dozens of full rehab projects under my belt, I am more of a consultant to my clients than an agent. I am committed to dealing with my clients on their terms.

I have sold many REO properties. I average more than 100 total sales per year and am on track to increase that volume. I have added a full-time assistant to handle future volume and am adding two new buyers’ agents to the team. I work with a healthy pool of long-term investors who are actively purchasing REO properties in my market. Other than investors, I also work with many with owner-occupant buyers. This is important because over 33% of the current sales in my local market are either REO or short sale related. I have REO experience selling Freddie Mac properties as well as representing buyers purchasing REO properties owned by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Washington Mutual. I also have experience representing both sides in several transactions. I have successfully settled 15 short sales with various banks including: Aurora, M&T Bank, US Bank, Chase, PNC, Wells Fargo, Ocwen Financial, Bank of America, and others.

SHORT SALE: Received 8/9/10

Dear Tom, I really want to thank you for all of your efforts in selling my home. You faced a tough situation, and did your job well 3 times! Your advice at the beginning was accurate and much needed. Your perseverance with the bank and all concerned was well beyond a typical Realtor and made the process much better for the buyer and for me. If I ever buy or sell in the Baltimore area, you are my only choice for a Realtor. Thanks again!

—Richard B.

 

SELLING & BUYING: Received 7/29/10

We have worked with numerous real estate agents in the past 6 years and Tom was by far the best fit for us. He was attentive to our needs and was honest with us which is something we very much wanted in an agent. We never felt like he didn't have time for us and he was always the person who handled our business—we didn't get passed off to another person in the agency. Our phone calls were always returned in a timely manner and our questions answered—there were many. We never felt like Tom was less responsive to us because we weren't selling a million dollar home. We were grateful for the respect and the time he put into our transaction. We are very pleased with our new home as we have a six month old baby and wanted to move from the city to the county to a bigger space. Our rowhome sold quickly and Tom helped us to be thoughtful about the asking price. We now have the peace and quiet and the space we wanted for our son. Tom was very understanding of us bringing our son to look at houses. We would use him again and recommend him to a friend.

SELLING & BUYING: Received 6/29/10

Finding an ethical and honest realtor was of the utmost importance to us and Tom exceeded our expectations in this regard. We could not have asked for a better agent. Throughout the selling and buying process we felt well informed and knew Tom had our interests in mind. We were impressed with Tom’s knowledge not only of the buying and selling process, but also of the intricacies of tax laws and the changing short sale market. He did a tremendous amount of legwork on our behalf and still managed to respond to our phone calls and emails promptly. We were concerned we would not get enough money from the sale of our row house in Baltimore to buy the large colonial we desired in the county. Tom made things happen on both ends. We are pleased with the sale price of our row house and feel that Tom worked out a great deal for our new home. Selling a home and shopping for a new one is not always fun, especially with a five year old in tow. Tom made it a pleasure. We can’t imagine having gone through the process with anyone else. Tom’s energy level never failed us as we asked to see house after house. He was willing to shop until we were completely satisfied. And we are completely satisfied. Now…if he only mowed lawns. We love our new home! Thanks so much Tom!

—Sarah and John L.
