Luxury Townhomes at Annapolis Towne Centre
|
Courtesy of The Capital Gazette By Shantee Woodwards Coldwell Banker associate broker Travis Gray has found that the luxury townhome market is strong in this region, particularly for longtime residents who want to downsize. Earlier this year, Gray said, he sold a penthouse at the GrandView to a couple who had an Annapolis waterfront home and wanted a smaller space now that they had adult children and grandchildren. Potential buyers “want to maintain a luxury level of living, but want the ease of a lock-and-leave situation, so they can go down to Florida or travel internationally,” Gray said. The GrandView buyers “wanted to maintain that luxury and all the amenities, but didn’t want to deal with the yard, dock and all of that stuff.” Click here to read the full article. |

TRAVIS GRAY FEATURED IN CBS MONEY WATCH'S
"10 Smart Home Features Buyers Actually Want"
By: Ilyce Glick, Courtesy of: CBS Money Watch
April 11, 2015
A recent survey by Coldwell Banker Real Estate showed that nearly two-thirds of its agents have found that homebuyers are more interested in homes with smart features and technology than they were just two to five years ago.
Travis Gray, a sales associate affiliated with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Annapolis, Maryland, said he believes this trend will continue gaining popularity and will eventually become the new norm.
"I equate it to stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops," Gray said. "Ten years ago it was great if you had them but it wasn't expected. But now you have to have them -- it's expected. And if homeowners don't have those features, they're installing them to sell their homes at a better price."

Annapolis Realtor Travis Gray has seen million-dollar houses get scooped up in Shady Side and Sherwood Forest in less than a week. But since May, he’s been trying to sell a $1.4 million house in the Annapolis Historic District.
“I don’t know if it’s interest rates, but people seem to be getting off the fence and buying,” said Gray, of Coldwell Banker. “The only thing you can control is the condition of the house. You can control the marketing and you can control the price. That’s really it.”

Reinvention: Television Executive → Real Estate Agent
For Travis Gray, career reinvention was not unfamiliar. His father, Cal Gray, transitioned from an Anne Arundel County real estate brokerage business to custom home builder to developer to farming corn and soybeans on the Eastern Shore. Still, reinvention was not something that Gray, 39, planned for himself.
“I didn’t go into the family business because I wanted to make it on my own,” says Gray who worked for the Affiliate Sales and Marketing wing of Discovery Networks. After collaborating on an independent documentary film with a high school friend, Gray became a partner in BrainBox (which grew to be a $13-millionindependent production company with 60 employees). Gray negotiated, developed, and produced programming for networks including HGTV, TLC, A&E, and the History and Food Network channels.

An Annapolis property that consists of nothing more than a detached garage and a guest quarters is on the market for nearly $5 million.
The waterfront property — which nearly set records for its $12.5 million listing in 2005 — was the home of retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Vernon R. Tate and his wife, Missy.
What makes the parcel a draw is that the permits and architectural designs are already in place because of a previously abandoned construction project.
That means the buyer can start work on the house and landscaping immediately, as opposed to waiting the years that it normally takes to get permits for waterfront properties, those close to the project said.
