Gary was the first and only realtor we dealt with this time. I previously bought a house and I didn't feel like she met my needs. Gary was perfect from the start. He listened. We didn't have a very big list of demands but he knew what we wanted. But the MOST important thing was that he was available. He got us looking at homes pretty much the minute we expressed interest. He was quick and drove us around to houses that I was interested in seeing. He pointed out major faults and when we finally found THE house, he knew. I didn't think it would be the one until we walked in. And Gary let us know what was great about the house and what wasn't. We loved it and he was there when we wanted to come back a second time the same day to see it again. Gary helped me paint even so that we could meet FHA requirements. Definitely an above and beyond realtor. Again, I can't say enough good. He really is the best and he was really there for us. As I stated before, he was great. Awesome communication and always on time.

Start to finish Gary handled the sale of our mom's house with professionalism. He was very helpful in listing out our options and walking us through the process. Gary was very organized, thorough and communicated with us throughout. Gary was always quick to respond via text or email with any questions we had. I highly recommend Gary Lee whether you're looking at selling or buying a home.

I am a first time home buyer and I was so overwhelmed and didn't even know where to start. I didn't know what anything meant and I was worried I'd be easy to trick because of my lack of experience. Gary made me feel right at ease and answered all my questions. I never felt dumb for not knowing things and didn't feel like he was trying to pressure me into anything. He made this entire experience so smooth and stress free! I really appreciate everything he did to help find the right home for me!

Gary was very patient and understanding when the two of us didn't seem to agree on any of the houses. He went out of his way with an amazing attitude that was very much appreciated. He's very honest and that is very important to me. He also didn't take Offense to my honesty. He always answered our phone calls and texts ASAP. He never made us feel like we were inconveniencing him even though I knew I was sometimes. He is an amazing realtor as well as a amazing person. I would gladly recommend him and Allison to anyone I know in search of a realtor. Gary did an excellent job. He kept us very well informed with what to expect and when. I gave him an A+. He restored our faith in realtors. Just did an all-around amazing job. He's the best realtor I've ever met. You are very blessed to have him on your team.

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.

We were referred to Gary Lee by our son who worked for a Mortgage Company. He highly recommended Gary and said he is a "good guy to work with". He was right. Gary went above and beyond insuring us he was going to find us the perfect home, and that was not an easy task! We very much appreciate Gary's knowledge and patience through this process. We will recommend him to anyone we know looking for a realtor! Thanks, Gary Lee!

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.
