Hi, I'm Gary Hughes, a full-time, full-service residential real estate agent dedicated to serving all your needs. My focus is always on the customer, and I strive to make every transaction as easy as possible, ensuring my clients are comfortable with their decisions at every step of the process. I hold a graduate degree in Management of Aging Services from the Erickson School at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Prior to pursuing a career in real estate, I served in the US Navy Submarine Service, where I developed discipline and leadership skills that have proven to be invaluable in my current career. When I'm not helping clients with their real estate needs, you can find me enjoying my favorite activities, such as scuba diving, swimming, boating, and gardening. I find that spending time outdoors is the perfect way to recharge and stay energized for the next day's challenges. As a licensed Realtor in Virginia, D.C., and Maryland, I have represented clients in buying, selling, and renting residential real estate. I am also a certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist, Accredited Buyer Representative, and Certified Negotiation Expert. In addition, I am certified by the Virginia Housing Development Authority as a First Time Buyer Representative and a Court-approved Expert Witness. My unique skill set, combined with my passion for serving clients, makes me a valuable asset for anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent a residential property. When you work with me, you can rest assured that your needs will always come first, and you'll have a trusted partner by your side throughout the entire process.
