Agent Information
For the past five years, I have been helping others buy and sell real estate with great success.
Providing extensive training and experience with client-first service with personal attention to
detail has kept my clients and I thriving even through this tough market.
I provide un-matched one on one attention because I don’t just partner with any seller in this
market. I keep my clients exclusive by placing a strict limit on the number of sellers I work
with at any given time, to ensure the utmost care and my personal availability to all my clients.
From my degree in business with a real estate focus from the University of Central Florida, to
my experience working and negotiating deals with a large commercial real estate developer
here in Orlando, to helping dozens of families sell their homes over the years.... let my
experience and knowledge of today’s local market ensure the quick sale of your property.
Please contact me while I have client openings so that I can personally present you with all the
different services I can provide to make sure your home gets SOLD!
Recent Testimonials
“Our experience working with Greg was everything we could have hoped for and much more. He made the home buying process; one
we were told by many was very taxing, complicated, and frustrating, relatively basic and painless. Greg’s willingness to show multiple houses
for hours on Saturday morning’s made the process as convenient as possible. Greg was also extremely patient through all of our spec changes
and indecisions. Once we found the house we wanted Greg helped us find a mortgage broker, showed up during the day to let inspectors in and
out of the house, and set up all aspects of our closing. He made it so that we could buy a house without having to spend all the hours setting up
the purchase. Greg’s knowledge of all aspects of home buying is an incredible stress reliever and provides a strong sense of comfort. Finally,
Greg’s greatest asset is his patience and willingness to work for you. We never once felt pressured to make a decision, and though I am sure he
was frustrated with our months of indecision he never showed it.
We highly recommend Greg to anyone in search of a home regardless of your situation.”
James Boland and Jessica Healy
"Greg was the most thorough, hard-working, patient, understanding and professional realtor we could ever imagine having. He was tremendous
help throughout our vacation home buying process. We started our research along with Greg months before our visit to Orlando. Greg worked
with us since the very beginning & helped us find the perfect home at the price we wanted. He is very professional, organized, and timely when it
comes to responding to questions, emails and keeping appointments. His knowledge about the local areas, house value & negotiation skills
helped me get a great house at very reasonable price. Our family really appreciates all his help. I'll definitely do business with him again & I
would highly recommend Greg for anyone looking to purchase or sell properties in the Orlando area."

WHERE DO YOU THINK THE MARKET IS?
THE IMPORTANCE OF INITIAL
MARKET POSITIONING
THE FIRST 2-3 WEEKS ARE THE MOST CRITICAL
There are always a pool of potential homebuyers in the market. Each at a different stage
of their decision process. The typical amount of time buyers actively view homes before
purchasing is 2 months, with new home buyers beginning their search every week. The
largest pool of ready buyers will view your home in the first 3 weeks. After that initial
pool has passed, only those new buyers will be viewing your home.
HOMEBUYER SHOWINGS
Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4
TIME ON MARKET (WEEKS)
Some buyers have made all the comparisons they need to judge current market values,
while others are still forming their opinions. As soon as your home comes on the market
this pool of buyers see your property. Depending on how well your property is priced,
will decide whether your home sells, or if it sells someone else's.
