Does a good job for his clients. Goes the extra mile in customer service.
I was looking to purchase a second home in Bradenton for my mom and Greg was awesome. He helped my mom explore the area and worked patiently with her to find exactly what she wanted. I could not recommend a realtor more highly as Im still in touch with him after the entire process has ended and Greg makes sure you are happy and enjoying your new home.
Greg is outstanding. He always follows up with his clients request for assistance. He is a pleasure to deal with. If you are interested In purchasing a home I recommend you consider using Greg as your agent. By all means he is a five star agent. Sincerely, Dominick J Kellogg
Greg has excelled at the at thing you want from a realtor: communication with the buyer, knowledge of the area and inventory and an understanding of the details of process and paperwork. He has a wonderful manner and personality, a high level of professionalism and knows the nuances of home purchasing. I always felt confident and informed while working with him.
Thank you Gregory for your very personal and professional service!
Mr. Zies has been very professional, polite, and knowledgeable regarding questions and concerns of purchasing property in the Bradenton vicinity. Thanks, Emory E. Swinney
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 worked with us for over two years until we found the right snowbird home for our family. He kept in touch with us over that time and was always available and ready to answer our questions and provide us with excellent guidance. Gregory is also a real person, which is hard to find in any sales industry. He was easy to talk to and listened for our needs. We are so happy with our new villa and happy he turned us onto the little gem of Bradenton. We would definitely use him again to sell our home when the time comes or find other investment property in the area, and you should hire him too. You will not be disappointed!
Gregory, It's been a pleasure working with you to sell our house. You have given good advice all along the way.
My parents referred us to Gregory. He sold their townhome and found them a perfect villa to purchase. We are so glad we hired him as our realtor! Prior to listing our house, the advice he gave us was spot on. We addressed each item he mentioned, and our house sold in three days!! Gregory is a dedicated professional, and always has his client’s best interest in mind. When it is time to look at houses, he is your guy! He has an eye for detail and was able to point out problematic areas in the homes my husband and I missed. He is a wealth of knowledge too! For example, we wanted a home with a pool. Gregory was able to provide us with information of approximate costs to have a pool, screened in patio, and fence installed. If he doesn’t have the information you need, he knows someone who does! He is a great listener; therefore, he can find a home that will “check off the boxes” on your wants/needs list. My husband and I refer our friends to Gregory whenever we have the opportunity because he is not just the best realtor in Bradenton, he is a great person as well. Thank you for everything, Gregory!
Very good and this is bow you protect your nieborhood from jyst becoming the hood
Gregory was professional, extremely knowledgeable and flexible around my work schedule when showing me different homes. Ultimately I purchased a new construction and I was living in my new home in about 100 days. Gregory made the whole process very stress-free
Gregory was referred to us through a glowing recommendation from a client who he had helped with multiple assignments. That was one of the best pieces of advice we have ever received. From the moment we met Gregory we felt comfortable and confident. We are from Atlanta and fell in love with Bradenton and wanted to buy a historic bungalow near Downtown. His depth of experience and knowledge helped us through all of the quirks involved with buying an almost 100-year old home and with buying property in Florida. His integrity is impeccable and his guidance made the process smooth and painless. On top of all of that he is an extremely pleasant person. We would definitely use him again and are happy to spread the word!
You can’t ask for more than a great offer within the first 12 hours of listing your property. Gregory and his team are professional and exceptionally talented.
The moment we mentioned to Gregory we were looking to buy a vacation property in Bradenton he started to share listings that he believed would fit our needs. AND he got it right! He took the time to ask the right questions, understand our needs and within a week we made our purchase. We don't live in the state of Florida so we were not present for the closing or final inspection, but that didn't matter because Gregory represented us and shared photos putting our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend Gregory to all our family and friends!
I am writing to let you know how highly my mom and I think of Greg Zies not only as a broker but as a person and how well he represents Michael Saunders & Company. We used him not only when we bought the house in 2016 but also when it was time to sell this past December and he was also helpful in times of need in between as this was a second home and we were not there a lot of the time. He was extremely patient with my mom when she was looking for a home to buy in the area and was also great throughout the whole sale process. I would not have thought of using anyone else nor would I hesitate to recommend him to anyone either buying or selling in the area. My home was sold very quickly and to the first person who saw it and I want to thank you guys again for making the whole process easy as it was all done on my end from New York and I never had to come down as Greg took care of everything. Hopefully, when I retire I will be back in contact with you guys again for a home in the Anna Maria area as I love it there.
Good man-professiomal-trustworthy.Fred
I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Greg Zies is very professional, honest & caring realtor. We were selling my dad's house after his passing & Greg made everything so easy. He was constantly in touch me along the way keeping me posted on all activity & feedback on each showing. I will definitely recommend Greg to anyone I know buying or selling a home.
Gregory set up a search and showed us several diverse properties over the course of several months. He asked thoughtful questions and provided great insights into the various properties we looked at. We found our dream house and Gregory did a great job negotiating a great price for us. Thanks!
He is very professional.
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!
Gregory was very easy to work with, responsive to a variety of types of questions, intuitive as to potential needs or options for a property, and just a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend him to even the most informed buyer or seller. Thank you Gregory. Talk soon!
We were in Bradenton over the holidays, and were looking for a condo that allowed two smaller dogs, as the one we currently own only allowed one. Greg found us eleven listings meeting this criteria, as well as our budget, and we were able to visit the ones we selected the next day. (Remember, this was during the week before Christmas) We presented an offer, negotiated further after the inspection, and had the entire deal done in three days. Greg provided information on mortgage brokers that could close quickly, and we worked with two, selecting one who was great to work with, and we had the mortgage locked up very quickly, as well. Greg went over the top to accommodate our schedule, and guided us quickly and easily through the process. He has stayed in touch, offering suggestions for repair professionals when we need them. He got right to the point, found what we needed, and made sure everything was accomplished before we left on January first. He did not waste our time with listings that did not fit our criteria, and found us the perfect fit. He was very professional, respectful, and fun at the same time. He would definitely be our choice for our next home in the Bradenton area!
5+++ Stars! In addition to being a knowledgeable real estate professional, Greg went above and beyond in helping to sell our home! We had to be out of town on several occasions both during the open showing period, while interacting with our eventual buyer, and in advance of Hurricane Ian. Greg was happy to help from anything to making sure the home was relocked after showings, checking on pool and pump, securing loose items in advance of the storm, providing early estimates of any storm damage, getting materials out of the home for a contractor, etc, etc.! Consistently pleasant and helpful. Glad we chose the team of Valenti & Zies!
We had the distinct pleasure to enlist the talents of Gregory Zies with the long-distance sale of our condo. We initially were apprehensive about the many challenges we could be facing on a transaction of this size while being over 1,000 miles away. We soon found our concerns were unfounded as Gregory displayed his unprecedented knowledge, diligence and most of all, impeccable character and integrity throughout the process. He was always available for any question and concern we brought and displayed a patient and calming approach in all of our questions and requests. He enlisted a great deal of resources to facilitate the certain future sale of our property leaving no stone unturned no matter how great or small. We knew he had handled transactions of many multiples of our listing price but not once did we feel that our listing was not front and center within his listed portfolio and he very much made us feel that our property was a top priority. And sure enough, within a very short period we had a solid offer, that resulted in a expedient closing despite being in the busiest time of the Christmas holiday season. Mr. Gregory Zies is our go-to when we purchase our next property in the Bradenton area as we feel we were blessed to find such a caring and consummate professional that is re-setting the bar each and every day within his industry.
Your firm was recommended to me by a paralegal who lives in our complex. She told me to list it with Kathy Valenti and she will sell it so fast your head will spin! Her and Gregory Zies did just that! Both members of their team were in constant communication with me and had numerous showings until the unit sold. I was very impressed with their presentation of the unit and their tenacity in marketing the unit. I would highly recommend your firm to anyone wishing to sell their home. The entire process including the closing was a breeze. Gregory and Kathy were fun and easy to work together with and had many helpful suggestions. Many thanks to both of them for a great job!
We haven't met Gregory in person yet, but from our very first call we felt a real connect. Gregory is very informed and a great listener. I'm looking forward to working with him.
Gregory is an excellent realtor to work with. We had a difficult shared client but he made the process of working through the issues professional. We are looking forward to partnering with him again in the future.
Hello
My sister and I both worked with Gregory and we each bought homes right next door to each other. We are relocating from Connecticut and New York City and did not know the area very well. Gregory was very helpful to us throughout the entire process and showed us properties in many different parts of town. He is knowledgeable and very patient and was always available to assist us whenever we needed him. In fact, he is still helping us as we finalize the details of our purchases. I would highly recommend Gregory to anyone needed help in finding or selling a home. He's terrific!
Gregory was terrific to work with throughout the process. Very easy to reach on short notice, enjoyable to work with and very knowledgeable about every aspect of the process. I recently closed on the purchase of a house on the ocean on Anna Marie and living in another state I quickly learned that the Florida home buying process was very different from my home state. Gregory helped guide me through all the nuances of Florida real estate. He has already worked with a referral of mine and I highly recommend that anyone looking for property in Florida reach out to Gregory.
We used Gregory to purchase our home when we relocated permanently to Bradenton from Michigan. We have since referred others to Gregory including our daughter (she has used him to purchase twice and sell once), other family members and friends, who have been extremely pleased with his advice, work ethic and genuine care for his clients. One of Gregory's greatest attributes is his ability to listen and focus on what his buyer really wants. He works very hard to find a home that will make each individual happy and then goes above and beyond to ensure that the home is a wise and sound purchase and advises accordingly. In addition, he has acquired many reliable and trustworthy professional contactors for home repairs, pest control, etc. that he readily shares with his clients. Gregory is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and helpful as well as always willing to go above and beyond to help his clients. We would highly recommend Gregory Zies to anyone needing a realtor in the Bradenton area. He is a gem!
Gregory provided excellent customer service and knowledge in finding my Florida home. I would highly recommend his expertise to anyone in the market for real estate.
5 stars! Greg was very friendly and helpful. He was very personable and I feel he will be enjoyable to work with. Look forward to meeting him soon. Marilyn Balsam
I had the pleasure of working with Gregory on a recent investment property. From start to finish he was very responsive, kind, and a constant professional. He commits himself to understanding the needs of the client and works assiduously to ensure the home buying process is a positive one from beginning to end. I look forward to the opportunity to work with him and highly recommend him to future home buyers.
Realtor to Realtor it was a pleasure.
I have enjoyed working with Gregory. He is very attentive and answers emails in a timely manner. Not being from the area, he is very honest about listings and very knowledgeable with surrounding communities. Gregory listens to our wants and provides suitable houses that meet our criteria. I would highly recommend him!
As someone who was buying from 1400 miles away I needed to have a realtor I could trust and most importantly was knowledgeable. I was very lucky to find Greg because he was everything you need in a realtor. He was able to show us homes over face time and point out all the things both good and bad that you can never see unless your in person. This allowed us to make a confidant remote decision. Thanks Greg!
We just closed this morning and we could not he happier. To say that Gregory goes above and beyond is an understatement. Not only does he keep you in the loop, but makes referrals and works tirelessly to find you the right home. We were so happy, my nephew used him and he also bought a house from Gregory. I have texted him at 630 in the morning and 10pm at night and he always responds. He is also pleasant and cheerful and has a great sense of humor. Gregory is not only our realtor but has become our lifelong friend. Thanks Gregory for everything!
Greg was a pleasure to work with on the sale of my home in NW Bradenton and subsequent purchase of my home in Sarasota. He approaches challenges with a positive mindset and is very professional. He went above and beyond to help during the stress of showing and selling my home. One example - he was kind enough to offer a playdate for my dog with his dog on my moving day.
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.
We live in Maine and wanted to find a Two bedroom ground level condo with no one above us in the Bradenton FL. Area. Greg sent us several listings and then kept sending listings at our request until we had a few peak our interest. Greg was more then happy to do a walk through and show us the Congo through Face Time and gave us his honest opinion on the condition of the unit. He was extremely helpful in answering all our questions and getting back to us with answers he couldn’t answer immediately. Greg truly cares about making the purchase as easy as possible , walking us tirelessly through he whole process. Greg went above and beyond helping us to make the purchase as painless as possible. I/We highly recommend and would certainly use Greg Zies again should the need arise.
Gregory was very helpful when we had our first thought of moving to Florida. We knew nothing, had an idea, and needed some hand-holding. Gregory was wonderful to work with...extremely responsive, provided a lot of information, and we were delighted when we finally closed on a home purchase signing a contract in a Lowe's parking lot on our way back to the airport. Good times!
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.
I have bought/sold over a dozen homes and have never had a better Realtor team than Greg and Kathy. Thank you both. cls
Gregory Zies exceeded our expectations!!! Our house was sold quickly, at a price that was better than, we expected!!! We moved from Bradenton to Nokomis/Venice and Greg has an excellent knowledge of the area. Most of all Greg is one one the nicest and calmest people I have ever met. Moving is stressful! Greg returned our phone calls promptly and had all information ready to go for the closing. I recommend Greg without hesitation!!! He is the best!!
Gregory is extremely responsive, professional and pleasant to work with.
We cannot say enough about Michael’s character and real estate talents. His intimate knowledge of the local market was invaluable during negotiations and we could not be happier our new home. Thanks for everything Michael! Mark and Joanne
Let me start this by saying Gregory is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of buying and selling a home. We had listed our condo with 2 other agents during an 18 month odyssey to sell it and relocate into a larger home. After those failed attempts, we met Gregory and our skepticism of realtors was quickly pushed aside. We quickly received an offer that exceeded our previous asking prices! Following that success we asked Gregory to assist us in finding our new home. One of Gregory’s greatest strengths was keeping us informed during each phase of buying and selling. He always knew what we should expect next and had us prepared so things would go smoothly. Every transaction faces obstacles and ours were no different, but through each potential setback Gregory kept us informed and clearly explained each side of the issue so we could make informed decisions. We started this process looking for a “business partner” to sell our condo, and after completing that sale and then purchasing a new home with Gregory’s assistance, we were left with a friend. I would highly recommend him to be your realtor.
gregory was very helpful with all of our inquiries. even gave us some insite about the area the property was in
