Gregory not only found a home that checked every box, he found one in move-in condition for significantly below the upper end of my budget. I am thrilled with my new home - and I found it, quite simply, because Gregory is so good at his job. It's obvious Gregory loves what he does and his clients are the beneficiaries of his passion for real estate. Gregory is knowledgeable about the area, patient (very, very patient), committed, professional, tireless, diplomatic, never made me feel pressured to buy something, and thorough. Gregory was more than my broker: he was my advocate and partner throughout the entire home buying process. He's A+ and I could not recommend him more highly to anyone considering purchasing or selling a home in the Bradenton/Sarasota area.
Gregory. Zies is a true professional at his craft. We felt very lucky to find someone like Greg. We are Mainers wanting to find a winter getaway in the Bradenton area. Looking for a condo Greg listened to our wants and needs. Greg sent us listings and kept in touch making sure he was in line with what we were looking for.He would take the time to do a walk through on FaceTime while we were still in Maine and giving us his honest opinion and being extremely helpful every step of the way.Once we found one we really liked , we flew down Greg set up a showing and the rest is history. We had to go back to Maine and Greg handled the closing for sending us all the paper work needed to be signed electronically. He couldn’t have made the process any easier . Thank You so Much Greg, My wife , now retired , was a Real Estate Broker in Maine for 30 years and we felt very comfortable Knowing that Greg was working in our best interest keeping us informed every step of the way.
