Gary Ashton
The Ashton Real Estate Group of RE/MAX Advantage
★★★★★10,500+ sales
Gary Ashton acquired his real estate license in March 2001 and has had a rapid rise to become the #1 realtor for RE/MAX and one of the top 1% of realtors in the Nashville Tennessee area, the #1 team leader with RE/MAX Advantage in Tennessee, #1 in the USA, and #1 RE/MAX team in the world!!In addition, Gary is the official real estate agent for the Tennessee Titans, the Nashville Predators, and has been featured as the team leader for the #1 RE/MAX real estate team in the world.England to the StatesBorn in England, Gary spent most of his time pursuing a musical career, first playing drums with the Leeds Middle Schools Orchestra, then the Yeadon Town brass band, and then moving more towards the rock and pop bands. This eventually led to playing in a local Leeds rock/pop band called Officer Dibble.At the time Gary was working at an advertising agency and had clients who were selling cars or homes. This was to come in useful later! As the local success of the band grew, the attention of the music business came to them. The band was signed by Chris De Burgh's management and as a result of the band subsequently opened for Joe Cocker, Chris De Burgh, and Tears for Fears.His family owned two bed and breakfast hotels, and after leaving the band, Gary helped with the family business. Eventually, the hotels were sold and the family emigrated to Clearwater Beach, Florida, where they operated a motel for 10 years.When developers began approaching the Ashton’s and other local hotel owners, Gary put together a team to handle the negotiations. This was his introduction to the world of real estate, and although the deal fell through, the decision to sell and move to Nashville was made.In October 2000, Gary came to Nashville to once again pursue a musical careerFrom Florida to TennesseeIn 2001, Gary obtained his real estate license and became an agent at Crye-Leike in Hendersonville. It seemed the best of both worlds – a part-time Realtor, and a part-time musician. However, it soon became clear that music didn’t pay the bills but the real estate did!From Part-Time to Full TimeGary eventually became a buyers’ agent for Steve Shrum, one of the top agents at Crye-Leike, and one of the few agents in Hendersonville who actually had a website up and running. Gary’s background in advertising had been used in developing a website for the hotel, and so he applied this knowledge in an effort to enhance the lead generation from Steve’s website.2004Gary left Crye-Leike and joined another regional real estate company called Bob Parks. This only lasted about 6 weeks because in that time he was offered the opportunity to become the exclusive agent for the geo domain Nashville.com This allowed Gary to move from taking 2 leads a day to over 20! However, because the site was a nationally recognized site and ranked so well organically in the search engines, he needed a nationally recognized brand/logo so that people were aware that he was part of a real estate company and so Gary joined RE/MAX and the local franchise RE/MAX Elite.Gary then spent the next few years building the website presence and putting together realtors who would want the advantage of getting numerous leads and the ability to build their real estate career quickly as part of his team.2007In 2007 Gary made "Top 3" Realtors in sales and earnings for the RE/MAX Elite group of over 400 Nashville area realtors. He is also was the number one agent for the Nashville Real Estate Team.This was a banner year for Gary and his team, notably the first time Gary was recognized for his sales achievements by being honored by RE/MAX as a member of the "Chairmans Club"2008As the country started to see the effects of some questionable loan practices that seemed to have reverberations for credit institutions around the world, the market in Nashville was also taking a hit. Sales were down but Gary's team was stilled recognized as being the top team with RE/MAX Elite in Nashville TN2009Again a trying time for real estate sales in the US but with every cloud there is a silver lining. The collapse of the real estate market actually created an environment for some amazing deals and the strong positioning of Gary's team online meant that 2008 was still a successful year for the team.The downturn in home sales also was seen by Gary as a team to regroup and to focus his attention on redesigning the website in conjunction with Morgan Carey of Real Estate Webmasters and his design team.2010The release of the new website was met with numerous comments of approval but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Since the new site was released the number of registrations nearly tripled and as a result, 2010 was a banner year for Gary and TAREG.2011 -15Much has happened in the years 2011 to 15 as the team became the #1 RE/MAX team in Tennessee but also became the official real estate team of the Tennessee Titans in 2012In 2013 the team increased the sales production to $147M which actually placed the team at the #1 RE/MAX team in Nashville and Tennessee, the #6 team in the USA, and #9 in the world.2014 saw the team increase production again to just under $183M and confirmed the #1 spot in Nashville and Tennessee, but increased the team's national ranking to #3 in the USA and #5 in the world.In October 2015 RE/MAX LLC offered Gary the opportunity to become an RE/MAX brokerage owner and take his model of a team working as a brokerage with all the added benefits to the agents and become an actual brokerage.
