Aaron Gartrell

Aaron began his professional career in residential branch banking with Allfirst Bank in 1998, where he gained experience managing all aspects of the day-to-day banking world while building strong relationships with the clients he served. After M&T Bank acquired Allfirst in 2003, Aaron made the move into real estate, where he continued working one-on-one with clients to guide them through one of the biggest financial decisions they’ll ever make: buying or selling a home.

With over 20 years of experience and $80M+ in real estate sold, Aaron works with buyers, sellers, renters, and investors, helping clients navigate the process with clarity, strong communication, and steady guidance from start to finish. His approach is built around four core principles: Buy • Sell • Invest • Advise—because every client deserves more than just a transaction… they deserve real advice.

Aaron’s business is rooted in the communities he serves, and he believes strongly in giving back to the same neighborhoods where he works and lives. He began volunteering with Our Daily Bread in 1994 and served there as a weekly volunteer on Fridays from 2003 to 2020. After COVID, Aaron shifted much of his volunteer time closer to home, supporting The Children’s Home in Catonsville and organizing volunteer events each year, including Keller Williams’ annual Day of Service, RED Day, which he has organized since 2018. In September 2025, he was nominated to The Children’s Home Board of Directors.

Outside of real estate, Aaron enjoys golf, hiking, cooking for friends and family, and supporting local restaurants and small businesses through his food blog, #WheresAaronEating.

When you’re ready to buy, sell, invest, or just talk through your options, and you’re looking for an agent who’s truly passionate about this community and helping you succeed in your real estate venture, Aaron is here to help.
