gregory was very helpful with all of our inquiries. even gave us some insite about the area the property was in
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!
