We've sold 2 houses and purchased 2 houses over the years with the help of Greg & team. They are fantastic to work with. Great assistance in helpful suggestions when preparing your home for sale. Very accomodating when we were searching for houses. Took the time to find our needs and wants, to help match us with great houses both times. We couldn't be more pleased with our choice!

Greg's extensive career in real estate and his knowledge of the Bloomington area was a fantastic help when my husband and I were relocating to Bloomington-Normal. Greg was extremely flexible to work with as our schedules made seeing houses a challenge. He showed us several homes over multiple days and gave great insight to the neighborhoods we were looking at, school systems, etc. He was available any time we had questions or concerns and made the process smooth and simple. Greg also gave many recommendations for businesses/restaurants/entertainment around town as we had limited knowledge of B/N and appreciated learning more about the area. Even after our closing and move to our new home, Greg gave a recommendation for someone to do a repair when we needed to know a reputable person to take care of the work. My husband and I can't say enough good things about how wonderful Greg and his team were to work with and we would highly recommend Greg to anyone looking for the perfect home!

To be honest I dont even know where to begin. We met Greg as a recommendation from a Coldwell agent that helped us sell our home in Ottawa. I was 7 months pregnant and we wanted to move to Bloomington, and we were naively hoping to do this before the delivery of the baby. We narrowed down to about a dozen houses online, my husband went to meet Greg who helped him further scratch a few off the top, and they spent the day going house to house. My husband narrowed it to three homes and the following day he brought me down to meet Greg and look at the three houses. Greg was flexible, reliable, and considerate of our circumstances. He didnt pressure anything onto us, he told us how it was, what kinds of choices we had, what was typically done and would give examples of unusual circumstances to give perspective. We picked the house we wanted, wrote an offer and set a closing date that day. Between calling Greg off the back of a business card and writing up a contract, I think it was only 3 or 4 days and that was exactly what we needed. We needed to find a house FAST.That was 3 1/2 years ago and we kept in touch with Greg throughout to get a feel for the market once in a while knowing we didnt want this house for a whole lot longer. However in April 2018 we came across what appeared to be our dream home on the ole interwebs. Of course knowing that listings can be deceiving, we called up Greg and asked him to take us out there. The baby we had had when purchasing the last house was born profoundly disabled and had recently been given a few years more to live. He came with us everywhere so Greg got to know aEURoeMouse ManaEUR? well. He was in a wheelchair full time at this point, and the house we were looking at had a wheelchair ramp and 6500 sq ft of living space. The house we were in still was quickly getting cramped with all of our sons medical equipment and frequent therapy sessions. We wheeled Mouse Man around and thought how nice it would be for him and his siblings to have so much more space. His bedroom was quickly picked - an office with a glass door so we could easily check on him and even the paint job that most would consider unappealing was perfect because the colors were the two colors Mouse Man could see best when contrasted with each other. It really seemed like this was meant to be. We decided to think on it and I believe within a week or so we revisited and decided to write up an offer which was quickly negotiated out and agreed upon.That was great and all but suddenly we had a house to sell. We hadnt been planning to move all of a sudden, and now the clock was ticking. Nobody wants to pay two mortgages. Greg gave us great advice. He gave us one piece of advice about moving some furniture and we thought, aEURoeWell we disagree, it looks nice like that.aEUR? Boy were we wrong. We had a showing and sure enough - the complaint from the agents clients was related to the furniture. After that we decided to heed every single bit of advice - do this, do that, change this, clean that. It was a lot of work, a lot of frustrating showings, some unkind comments, multiple offers that fell through, and we were growing more aggravated by the day. Greg was always encouraging us. He promised he would get it sold, and that wed get back what we put in. We actually refused a low ball offer three weeks after listing, which (literally) paid off in September when we were finally offered a fair price from a wonderful buyer. It was an odd aEUR~contingent offer; the buyer needed to sell her home first, but wanted to rent our home until she closed on hers, and then until we closed on this one she was renting from us. This worked out well for us and really is a dream situation for anyone with an offer contingent on closing on their current home first. But heres what makes Greg amazing. He knows his clients, he knows them well, and he knows their needs. He gets to know his clients, and he got to know our special little guy. We had a move-in date for our renter/buyer and we needed to have a lease signed, deposit and rent collected, the is dotted and ts crossed on that date, a Saturday in mid September. But Mouse Man caught a cold, it developed into pneumonia, and I found him the Monday prior to the move-in date, having lost his battle with his rare disease. With all the chaos going on, Greg said not to worry about a thing. The funeral was set to take place on move-in day, and Greg made sure to take care of everything for us so that we could say goodbye to our son. We closed on our first home we bought while our son was in the NICU having a permanent feeding tube surgically placed, and Greg moved in our renter/buyer while we said goodbye to that same son.If you want a real estate agent who is investing themselves into you, your family, and your needs, call Greg. He takes a real interest in his clients. He doesnt pull any punches, he gives real advice, but you are more than a payday to him.

We enjoyed our home buying experience with Greg. He was friendly and attentive whenever he was speaking with us or showing us homes. Even when we decided we did not want to see a home we previously thought we might, we did not sense any frustration from nor did he make us feel like we were wasting our time. Greg really helped us find our dream house, and I will recommend him to anyone that asks!

Greg's knowledge and understanding of the market and our needs was outstanding. He helped us both in selling our old home and buying our new one and he genuinely felt like a partner in the process. He expertly helped us navigate the inspections and sales transaction, keeping our stress in check! We absolutely recommend Greg and his team.

We had a short window to find a home as we had accepted an offer on our current home prior to finding a place to live. We began looking at neighborhoods & homes in the B-N area on a Sunday afternoon. We stumbled upon a new construction home that Greg had listed and made a call to him. He answered our call, dropped what he was doing and showed up to let us see the home. We were impressed that he was so quick to help us. Once we met him we immediately knew we wanted to work with him. Just a great guy all around! We described our desired home style and price range and asked him to line up homes for us to view. Long story short, he and his team jumped all over our request and found us the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood and negotiated a deal we were good with. We were able to close on the home quickly allowing us to move in prior to our closing of our current home. It was a great experience and we highly recommend Greg and his team!!

Steve did an excellent job of helping us find and go through the purchasing process. He treated us with the utmost respect. By the end of the process I knew that he had watched out for our best interest. He was amazing and if I ever need to go through the process again I will certainly use him.

Greg was an integral part of us being able to sell our house, he was great at explaining all the details about the contract and facilitating everything we needed from lawyer to carpet cleanning.
