Gregory is just a great person. Not only did he prove to be an excellent realtor, he went above and beyond what the role called for. We would highly recommend him. 5 stars.
Working with Gregory was an absolute privilege. My husband and I were first time home buyers, and all the apprehension, anxiety, and uncertainty that comes with it was taken away by Gregory's knowledge, diligence, honesty, and expertise. From our first meeting, we knew that he was going to help us find a wonderful home that would be perfect for our family. He helped walk us through step by step what items needed to be taken care of and in which order to allow our buying process to move as smoothly and quickly as possible. He stayed on top of things the entire time, notifying us immediately of any potential home matches as soon as they came on the market, offering to show us properties at our convenience, assisting in keeping things moving with our mortgage approval, and making sure everything was being done so we could enjoy an on time closing. We did end up finding just the right home, at the right price, in the right neighborhood, and with the right amenities for our growing family, and it is all thanks to this wonderful realtor. Thank you Gregory Zies for making our first home purchase experience such a happy and successful one!
My sales associates Kathy Valente and Gregory Zies truly provided me with the exceptional service Michael Saunders & Company strives to achieve. Kathy was extremely communicative throughout the entire process and was always available whenever I reached out to her. Gregory was wonderful, showing the property on time with each request. On moving day, we had a deadline to meet for the final walkthrough by the new owners at 1pm. I had to leave at 11am for an unexpected doctor's visit, and also had to contend with another two set-backs regarding the cleaning crew and carpet cleaners. In my absence, during this crucial time, Gregory arrived early, went above and beyond, came to the rescue and worked diligently, helping my daughter prepare the condo for the walkthrough. I am extremely happy to report that your team in Bradenton surpassed my expectations of exceptional service.
