Couldn’t ask for a better realtor. Gary has an awesome personality. He cares about his clients and will do his best for you. I enjoyed working with him throughout the whole process and I know others will too.

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.

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.

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 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 did an excellent job quickly selling our home and providing us everything we wanted at closing. He went above and beyond for us and we are truly grateful to have worked with him. We will definitely use Gary in the future. He not only went above and beyond for us selling our home but within a week's time was able to find us a new move in ready home. He has been such a pleasure to work with, we couldn't have asked for a better agent to represent us.

Gary Lee is the top-shelf, real deal and if I could give him more than 5 stars, I would. Selling our first home was an emotional whirlwind that my wife and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else weathering with us. Gary was nothing short of amazing and he handled the entire process with such finesse that it felt seamless. The attention to detail and care that he put into selling our home was second only to his genuine interest in getting to know us as people, not just clients. The thought and legwork he put in, from the first time he came over to do a walkthrough to the closing gift he prepared for us, were unparalleled. He was knowledgeable and professional but also charismatic and down-to-earth so we felt totally comfortable reaching out to him 47x a day for anything and everything. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Gary because it's hard to put our gratitude into words and a couple of short paragraphs don't nearly do it justice. If you're looking for someone you can trust to have your best interest at heart and treat you like family, #GetWithGary.

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!!

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!
