Why Work With Realty87?

Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:

Gary made the transaction of selling our home seamless. His experience, guidance, and approach invaluable. We count him as a friend . . . and highly recommend him to other friends.
Gary is wonderful to work with and very patient! I had a lot of questions and he had the answers. He was always respectful and never pushy or patronizing. I couldn't have imagined a better experience and I will always go to him when buying or selling.
Gary worked with me to get an estate property cleaned up and ready to sell. After going through the house, Gary gave me an evaluation of the property's value based upon a couple of different scenarios: 1. As it was the day he went through it. 2. What it would be worth after it was cleaned up. 3. What it would be worth if varying fix it projects were done. After cleaning things up and doing some fix it projects, Gary came back through the house and indicated not only that the house looked better than he thought it would, but that market conditions might have changed since we had originally discussed the property. Based upon Gary's advice, we listed it much higher than his original evaluation and it sold at full contract price. Gary was very clear with what we could expect and he was good for his word.
This past year, Gary helped us (my sister and me) sell our mom's home, and we also worked directly with him on a side project involving another home he was selling. These two projects ended up lasting longer than we had hoped due to Covid and the Derecho. But even though Gary had been directly affected by the Derecho, he never got sidetracked, and was always even-keeled, patient, and on-the-ball. After 6+ months of working with Gary we can honestly say that he is one of the hardest-working, honest, caring, and diligent realtors/people we know. Gary was always very quick to reply to our messages, and treated us with utmost respect. It is said that the busiest people get the most done, and we believe that saying describes Gary to a T! Gary is a class act and we both highly recommend him!
Gary is great to work with. He went above and beyond to help us sell our house and buy our new house. He made great suggestions and really listened to us when looking for what we wanted in a house.
We would not hesitate in referring anyone to Gary. We do not live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Gary made the whole process of buying a second home in the area very easy for us. He was always available to help us in any way and made us feel that we were his number one client. He was able to provide us with all of the contacts that we needed to help us through the house buying process as well. Gary's skills on negotiations were top notch and was very aware of the pricing market in the area. Gary was able to provide us with the contractors that we needed to do some of the projects after the inspection. We feel that Gary is the 'BEST' in the business!
Gary and his wife Joni are a great team to work with when looking for a new home! They were available and so attentive to our desires/wants/needs in helping us relocate from the Quad Cities. From knowing the market, location knowledge and closing the deal, we felt very confident in working with Gary and Joni! If you are looking for integrity and top notch realtors, I highly recommend Gary and Joni from Coldwell Banker Hedges Realty!
Gary was a pleasure to work with, he found us the house that we were looking for and he was extremely helpful with all of our questions and concerns. Would highly recommend working with Gary!
Gary was knowledgeable regarding the seller side of the transaction, making the right recommendations to ready the property, and then when to place property on the market. In terms of the buyer side of this transaction, Gary knew the in's and out's of dealing with the developer to close the deal in a timely and efficient manner. Gary helped with lining up negotiated work, while dealing with the COVID restrictions and the Derecho storm.
Gary listed our house and it sold in two days! We were so impressed with his knowledge & experience, and he did a great job in communicating and keeping us informed. Gary was a great realtor to work with, and we would highly recommend him to anyone!
