As a first time buyer I was nervous and clueless going into this. Gary understood that and always took the time to explain everything everything to me. Gary was patient with me, spending about a year trying to find the right place, but never losing contact. Gary would check in from time to time to see how the search was going or to present me with new listings he'd found. In the end, we found the right place and again Gary was right there every step of the way explaining the process, what comes next, what I need to do next. I couldn't have asked for a better agent or a better overall experience. I will definitely recommend Gary to friends and family and look forward to doing business with him myself again in the future.

We were so nervous that our home wouldn't sell since we had a contingent offer, but Gary assured us that it would not be an issue. He had a pre-inspection done so that we were aware of any issues or concerns! 100% recommend Gary to sell your home! Gary gets the job done, so Get With Gary!

The most important factor in selecting a realtor for me was that it was someone I could trust. Gary is someone I could completely trust. The thing that impressed me most with Gary is that he sat down and asked us a lot of questions about the house before listing it. He truly wanted to understand what made the house valuable to us so that he could use that in his marketing. I was also very very impressed with the professional photos that he had taken. His online advertising campaign was fantastic and I appreciated that when the house didn't sell right away he started doing multiple Open Houses and was looking for other ways to attract buyers. The whole reason I picked Gary is that I trusted him. He did not let me down. When our house didn't sell right away, I could see that Gary was personally concerned and was looking for any opportunity he could find to attract prospective buyers. That meant a lot to me. I know other realtors who are just in it for the money. They have an air of arrogance about how great they are. Personally, that's not the type of realtor I'd want to deal with.

To be honest, I probably had to be one of the worst/hardest clients Gary has ever dealt with. I’m mean, could never make up my mind on what I wanted, how much I wanted to spend, had a really good habit of ignoring texts/calls plus I’m very adulting dumb and had no idea what was going on 99% of the time. Even with all of my challenging attributes, Gary never seemed to be phased by it. He went along with my madness/confusion and managed to find and sell me a house. A house I whole heartedly believe is perfect for my daughter and I. If you are ever looking to buy or sell a house, the only advice I have is “get with Gary.” He made the whole process seem effortless and made me feel like I really had a handle on this adulting thing. He will be the only realtor I recommend or go to from here on out!!

Gary came to our family by chance at an open house. He was amazing through the whole process of selling our home and purchasing our new home. This process was scary and very emotional for my family and myself. We were leaving our dream home but excited to make new memories in a new home. Gary was so helpful. I am not the easiest to work with because I wanted specific things and wouldn’t budge on what I wanted - Gary was so understand, never pushy or irritated with me. Sometimes my emotions took over and Gary was there to ease me through the process. He was a blessing to our family.

Gary Lee was referred by a friend/colleague who was completely satisfied. This was my first time selling a property. Gary Lee made it seem easy from beginning to end. He helped with anything I needed. I can't imagine having a better experience with any other realtor. I was moving out of state and did not need to take a lot of personal items with me. Gary went over and above to help with disposing of the unwanted items. Gary Lee is a kind, knowledgeable, professional and caring person.

The process for buying this house was an absolute rollercoaster, and Gary Lee was the seatbelt holding us in place and making sure we didn't fly out halfway through. We heard of Gary from many mutual friends who he helped buy houses for, they said everything you would want to hear about a realtor. He's trustworthy, kind, patient, dedicated, and real. Not very often does someone's opinion turn out to be 100% true, but this is that case. He was always there for us for any of our questions or just some positive reinforcement, and overall just took so much stress away from the whole experience which made our lives so much easier. Gary's more than just a realtor, he's an amazing person with a marvelous personality and drive to help anyone and everyone. So please, save yourself so much stress of buying or selling a house and "get with Gary"
