My wife and I purchased our first home in 2003 and lived there until last week. As you can imagine, after all these years and raising our kids there, the process of moving, coupled with the mental gymnastics involved, was both exciting and a bit stressful. We have such great memories of our old home, as well as our cabin up North. However, our family goals and priorities have shifted slightly over the last several years. When we thought about the next 20 years, we realized we didn't want to compromise on the setting or the quality of our next home, which would ideally capture what we loved about our old home, and what we love about being at the lake. Combining the "best of both worlds" (home and cabin) at a time when so few homes were coming onto the market seemed unlikely at best.

My wife and I purchased our first home in 2003 and lived there until last week. As you can imagine, after all these years and raising our kids there, the process of moving, coupled with the mental gymnastics involved, was both exciting and a bit stressful. We have such great memories of our old home, as well as our cabin up North. However, our family goals and priorities have shifted slightly over the last several years. When we thought about the next 20 years, we realized we didn't want to compromise on the setting or the quality of our next home, which would ideally capture what we loved about our old home, and what we love about being at the lake. Combining the "best of both worlds" (home and cabin) at a time when so few homes were coming onto the market seemed unlikely at best. I have a realtor friend who had assisted us with three home purchases in the past and considered working with him again. However, our specific requirements, the current market environment, Gregg's knowledge of the Lake Minnetonka community, and his reputation led us to choose him to represent us in this purchase, and we are very happy that we did. We have known Gregg from the Orono community for years. After a referral from another friend, we reached out to him for an initial meeting. Believing that finding the right home would take considerable time, we wanted to let Gregg know what was important to us. Gregg was a great listener, very knowledgeable, professional, and easy to talk to. Based on subsequent conversations, it was clear he had noted our hopes, dreams, and requirements, making us feel very comfortable relying heavily on his expertise and advice. We had originally thought finding our next home would be a long process, partly due to the recent scarcity of homes on the market. Our friend who had provided the referral suggested we reach out to Gregg early in the search process, specifically mentioning Gregg's network and the likelihood he would be aware of properties not currently on the market and know people considering selling soon. This proved to be incredibly valuable. Throughout the search and purchase process, our confidence in Gregg felt more like a partnership than just a realtor/client arrangement. His knowledge of the market and responsiveness to our questions, as well as his advice during the negotiation process, helped increase our confidence. Finding our new home was a challenge, and with Gregg’s guidance throughout the process, we couldn't be more excited about our move. The timing and emotions of leaving our old house, along with some work-related time constraints, created some unexpected hurdles for us—we needed a realtor for the search, advice, and bidding strategy, and a coach for everything else. Gregg delivered on both fronts; he was informed and confident, but never pushy. That gave us a lot of confidence in him, and the process, and led to a great outcome. Based on our great experience partnering with Gregg when buying the new home on the lake, we also are working with him on selling our old home, which has also been a great experience. We have followed his advice and strategies related to timing, staging, pricing, and showing, and it is proving highly effective in generating quality interest, showings, and a very productive open house. What seemed like an overwhelming process has gone incredibly smoothly – We are very happy!

Gregg is great. He and his team (Emily) make the home buying and selling process seamless. This is the third home that I have purchased working with Gregg and I've referred him to many friends that have had the same great experience working with him on both the buy and sell side.

Gregg is one of the best-connected realtors in the Orono area and it showed! From his deep first-hand knowledge of the area itself to his personal connections that helped make it all happen to his highly responsive team and professional guidance on the sale of our home, we could not have had a better experience. We are so excited we found our forever home with Gregg!

Gregg has helped us with two sales and one purchase. He's knowledgeable and proactive and helps keep the stress level down! He knows how to get a property ready for sale and is very supportive throughout the process.
