About The Cotton Team
 |
RICH COTTON, a long time resident of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, was
raised in the Rose Tree/Media area of Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
He was drawn to the Chesapeake Bay area by his love of the water, and his
many wonderful boyhood memories of summer vacations on the Shore. The
hours spent boating, crabbing and swimming led him to see the Bay area as
a safe, fun and nurturing place to raise his family.
In 1988, Rich decided to make a career change. His experience with his
father’s real estate company and the love of the Chesapeake created the
foundation for this new career.
Rich has always believed that if you love what you do, success will
follow. Not seeing himself as a “traditional REALTOR®”, Rich counted on
his ability to help people find the “right place,” and then the home would
sell itself. With this as his goal, he decided to narrow his focus and become
a specialist dealing with Waterfront Properties on the Upper Bay.
Rich’s beliefs have proven to be true. Regardless of market conditions,
Rich successfully helps sellers and buyers of Waterfront Properties get
together! He is recognized for his knowledge, dedication and ability to get
the job done.
Warmth, enthusiasm and casual style have become Rich’s trademark.
He works with many people, sometimes for years, helping them find that
“Special Place” which will be the focal point for many fond memories. He
understands that this process must be personalized to each individual.
Continuing education is also a part of Rich’s approach. Working with
sophisticated buyers and sellers requires staying ahead of changing laws
pertaining to use and development of Waterfront Property.
Rich opened the first EXIT franchise in the state of Maryland, EXIT
Realty Chesapeake Bay. Their business plan brings to the marketing
of Waterfront Properties, a sophistication and technological edge that will
set the standard in the industry.
