Mr. Mesnick was recommended to me by friends. He is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market. He took time to clearly explain all of the processes and truly cares about his clients. He is professional, courteous, and is more than willing to go the extra mile. Because of his hard work and efforts, my real estate transaction went smoothly. I highly recommend Mr. Mesnick to anyone searching for a fantastic realtor. I will definitely call him again for my future real estate needs. I see why he was awarded Angie's List Super Service Award numerous times.
by Kristi WAbout
We needed a quick sale for our house and Gary delivered. Throughout the entire process, he was thorough and extremely professional. His experience showed beginning with his initial presentation in which he explained his philosophy and approach to selling a house and helped us identify our goals and then outlined all of the steps that we would take along the way. He was always prompt in returning calls and we were able to count on him to follow through with any request we had. He very quickly found a buyer for our house and deftly guided us through the negotiation of the price and inspection process. There were several repairs required to our house prior to the closing and Gary scheduled professionals to come out and give estimates, and he helped us to choose the right people to do the repairs. Finally, and very importantly, Gary has a great personality, is very easy, even fun, to work with, and made the entire process as painless as possible. We would definitely use him as our agent again in the future and would recommend him to anyone
by Kristi FarmerThis being our first house hunt/purchase, we really didn’t know what to expect when we began the process. We tried our best to read first-time home buyer books and did an insane amount of research on the internet. We stumbled upon Gary on Angie’s List and were very impressed with his ratings/feedback. We had been looking on Trulia for months and had a good idea of what we were looking for, so when we sat down with Gary and he explained that we had the house hunt in our hands, we knew he was right for us. We thought all realtors picked the houses to view and this made us nervous. Being able to browse the FMLS/List Book websites and select the houses that fit our family was easy, time-saving, and exactly our style. Gary set up all of the showings and was completely honest at every single one. He always arrived early to drive around the neighborhoods and walk through the houses before we checked it all out. He advised us when he saw potential issues with a house and guided us through the entire negotiation process when we finally found the house of our dreams! He was meticulous with reminder emails; letting us know about upcoming appointments, things to be done, and tips for the first-time buyer. He even came with recommended lenders and home insurance companies, which was amazing because we did not have a great experience with these two home-buying aspects until we called his guys! We think the thing that shocked us the most is all of the above-and-beyond things Gary did once we found our home! He had a few issues with the seller’s agent, so he took extra steps to ensure that nothing possible would delay our closing…even driving out to the house a couple of days before closing to make certain it was in sound condition after the tenants left. We signed the agreement for purchase on February 2, 2013, and the home was ours on February 28, 2013! Honestly, we made the right choice when we chose Gary as our realtor. It truly says something when you enter your home for the first time once the ink has dried on the purchase papers and your 2-year-old son says “Where’s Gary?”. He is a great realtor, but even more than that, a stand-up guy. We strongly recommend Gary Mesnick as a Realtor if you are looking for someone to be honest and not try to sell you on the wrong house! He’ll let you run the show, but give you all of the advice you may need to select the perfect home.
by Romy & Steve BAfter six months of searching for a new house in our home city of Boston, my wife Sarah and I had just about given up hope. We were expecting our first child and had completely outgrown our apartment. Real estate in Boston meant either buying a hundred-year-old house in desperate need of a complete overhaul or a multi-million-dollar brownstone. After some deep soul-searching Sarah and I decided to relocate to Atlanta to be closer to family and take advantage of the improved state of the school system from what we had available in Boston. Gary Mesnick of Maximum One Realty was given to us as a referral from our relatives, and from start to finish he gave us the white glove treatment. We were 1,100 miles away from where we wanted to buy, but Gary treated us with the same attention to detail as if we were already neighbors. Using the online tools he made available to us we vetted hundreds of properties, sent him a list of 80 we wanted to walk through, and booked a weekend flight to Georgia. When we arrived Gary had a complete itinerary laid out based on location and how we rated the houses from what we saw in the photos. He picked us up in the morning, took us through the properties, asked us to rate each, and at the end of each day assessed where things stood and made suggestions for what to do next. By the end of the weekend trip, we had found our dream home, put in our offer, and hopped on the flight back to Boston. By the time we got off the plane, our offer had been accepted and we were on our way to being Georgia residents. Between offer acceptance and closing Gary was right there with us, explained every step, checked in with us along the way, and made everything as smooth as possible. We are very grateful for his expertise, his professionalism, and his indefatigable drive. We will use Gary and Maximum One Realty for every real estate transition for as long as we’re living in Georgia. Thank you Gary for making this a wonderful experience!
by bcbreunigGary has helped us sell a home, find rental properties and navigate rental agreements, and purchase a home. We have known him professionally and personally for the past 10 years. He understands our needs so much so, that we found a house that we love within 2 weeks. He is always willing to meet to show a house, and what I love most about Gary, is that he gets there way before we do. He opens the house, turns on the lights, and familiarizes himself with the specs, so he can easily answer any of our questions. He has the best home inspector too, that was willing to come back 3 times to make sure everything was done to code. Closing was a breeze because Gary really knows what he's doing. We would recommend him highly.
by Sarah & SalGary showed us several houses and was very professional and an expert in the real estate market. Finally, we did not buy it because we moved to another state. We would definitely contact him again.
by Lisa LaFlammeWhen we decided to buy a home here in Georgia, we started to do research on different websites, and study different blogs, especially the ones titled “First-time home buyers. ..” But everything made the home-buying process look like a tedious one and we were a little scared (?). Then a friend of ours referred his real estate agent who helped him to buy his wonderful home. It’s Gary. Gary was so prompt in arranging a get-to-know meeting. We were totally impressed the first day we met him. He explained the whole process of home buying. We asked a lot of “First time home buyers” questions; he answered so patiently, however silly the question may be! We felt confident enough to move forward in the home-buying process with Gary alongside as our real estate agent. The best thing about Gary, he effortlessly exceeded our expectations as we traveled through. He set up an account for us in Listingbook, which has all resources in one place to research the house, its location, schools, neighborhood, etc. We will browse the houses listed for sale and give the shortlisted list to Gary for scheduling. He will reply back promptly with the schedule of the house tour. We have seen several houses and Gary was so patient showing all the homes. No Pressure, always smiling is his best charm. After the tour of every home, Gary will ask for feedback on the home and when we ask for his feedback, he will give us pretty straight feedback but did not push us towards any decisions. The honest feedback from Gary meant a lot to us, so we know we are on the correct path to choosing the right home. Gary’s professional knowledge and experience helped us make an informed decision, though we are buying a home for the first time. The moment we finalized our home, Gary was so quick in preparing the offer docs and he was on top of all the paper works, home inspection, and contingency clause… to make sure that we get that home with no issues. He used to send us reminders about important dates, call us, and keep us informed of every stage we are in. Till we signed the closing paper works, Gary was so keen in making sure no surprises at the last minute. Wow! We are now proud homeowners. Without Gary, we are not sure if we would have had such a memorable home-buying experience! Thanks to Gary. The one thing we like the most about Gary, he doesn’t stop his service at the closing table, he extends the service beyond it. He is helping us to date - be it any references for house maintenance or just a simple question, and he is always there to help us! Even if he doesn’t have answers, he reaches out to his contacts and gets us the answer. Simply, THE BEST! With no doubt, he will always be our real estate agent. We will be pleased to recommend Gary to our friends, family, and anyone who is looking for a real estate agent. We are positive Gary will give you the same cherishing experience as ours.
by Sonia CastillejosGary has helped us both buy and sell our home and we are very pleased with Gary’s responsiveness, professionalism, and guidance through a complicated process. We would not hesitate to use Gary’s services again and would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.
by Nadhiya & VeluGary was a pleasure to have as my real estate agent. He helped me purchase a house. he is very knowledgeable and made sure i didn't make any wrong turns. Will definitely work with Gary again in the future.
by Matthew HerringtonMy husband and I buy an investment property. We work with Gary. He is professional, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. He makes us consider all angles, such as whether is this a sound investment, whether is this a house in a neighborhood that will stand the test of time, whether can we upgrade this house to our standards without breaking the bank, etc. Gary was an investor, so he understands our concerns. He is also an expert in negotiations. It is difficult these days to know the real value and to navigate between short sales, foreclosures, and just good deals. We trust Gary to have our best interests at heart. He helped us find exactly what we were looking for and was patient during the entire process. We got a great deal and though at times we thought of giving up, Gary was with us 200%. We couldn’t have gotten this house without him and his team and will certainly rely on his expertise in the future. We highly recommend him whether you are looking for your dream home or an investment. Our overall experience was excellent. We will definitely use Mr. Mesnick for future ventures in business.
by Gdela515We just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your dedication and fantastic service during the process of us buying a home. Being first-time potential home buyers, having a complicated financial situation due to delayed and confusing military transfer orders, and the battle of communicating daily while we were still on the west coast all made this case a difficult one to handle. However, throughout the whole process, you always took the time to explain everything that needed explaining and answered every question that came up. There were multiple times when we talked when it was past midnight EST, and we commend you for that. You were always ready and willing and you made a difficult situation into an enlightening and even enjoyable one. On the 13th of August, 2007, our family moved into our first home. And we can say, without a doubt, this was not only because of your determination beyond the call of duty of a realtor, but of a friend, someone with whom you can place your trust. I am more than happy to refer anyone looking for a home to have Gary Mesnick as their realtor. They won't go wrong.
by Liz & TonyGary was very professional in all aspects of our business association. He was courteous, prompt, and responsive to e-mails and phone calls. Even though we took quite a long time to find our house, he stuck with us and was always ready to show us more when we asked. We have a family association but are not related.
by TheheathcoatsRecommend Gary for any and all residential realty needs. If you are looking for a professional, prompt and friendly partner during the realty process, Gary is your man. We have counted on him time and again when it comes to our home purchases. Highly recommended.
by Sheryl & TomGary made the process extremely smooth and understandable. He set me up with a variety of tools to be able to locate and identify homes that fit the criteria I gave to him (location, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall size). I was able to virtually visit hundreds of residences with his help and I believe close to 25 houses in person over a 2-3 month window. The entire process can be frustrating when you have to deal with other agents who won't respond, play games with offers and counteroffers and just generally do shady things. Gary was great, very professional, and always giving the best advice to get me in the best house for my daughter and I, even if it cost a little less, and made him a smaller commission. I would definitely recommend Gary to anyone looking for a realtor in the Metro Atlanta area.
by Ahmad M. NasirI just wanted to take the time to thank you for your devotion and service during the home-buying process. Being a first-time home buyer, you guided me through this difficult process with ease. You were readily available with me around my busy schedule. You surrounded yourself with the best people in the industry; lender, insurance, inspector, to ensure a smooth transaction. You went above and beyond to make sure the selection of properties met all my criteria, we must have seen 50-plus homes, but you found the one that really fits me. You were an advocate for me in every way possible. You truly made it an unforgettable experience.
by sm1550lawI have had the pleasure of working with Gary recently on a house I bought in Alpharetta. Although I did not know him before our venture, he was outstanding in his service and made me feel very comfortable with the whole process from looking for a house to closing and after. He put me under no pressure at all from the very beginning to buy or close any house. In fact, Gary used all his experience to not follow through on some of the houses because of the conditions they were in. He always mentions, his service never ends with the closing of the house, and the relationship extends beyond and after the purchase of the house. He has stayed true to his words, and whenever I have had problems with the house, he has been more than willing to offer me advice and solutions. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience about the house. From the time I put in an offer and closed the house, he was well on top of everything needed and kept me abreast. He had every detail in the contract worked out, making me feel very confident in everything I had to do during negotiations. He went above and beyond his professional responsibilities to make sure everything went smoothly and was on track. I have nothing but praise for and trust in Gary for his enduring service and friendship, and absolutely no hesitation in recommending anyone who is looking for houses.
by StevenI moved to Atlanta in April 2018 at a time local housing market inventory was at a record low. To make it more complicated I had unconventional and unique requirements. For 4 months, Gary took me house after house at a moment's notice, each time patiently explaining everything, objectively pointing out the good and the bad. There are times I was overwhelmed by frustration, Gary's laid-back confidence and experience ultimately conveyed a sense of certainty when things looked grim and daunting. What sets Gary apart completely from all the others is his unwavering integrity and honesty. Gary will stand up for you even when his personal interest is at stake. When I had second thoughts on a house with a big price tag but could not make up my mind to pull the trigger, Gary realized the house is not my ideal and pulled the offer for me! Through the time working with Gary, I have grown to trust Gary completely, which is rare as I am a cynical person. The more I trusted Gary, the more effective we became a team. Gary navigated all sorts of rough water with me when there is legal deeds problems when houses had structural problems, Gary sought thorough legal consultation to make sure I was protected by contract. Gary made sure I had termite bonds, septic certification, and all the other local things I didn't know existed. Gary negotiated for me with authority and achieved great results. In the end, I landed on my perfect house, it is everything I could imagine initially, and much beyond. The experience with Gary was simply incredible. It changed my perspective on certain things. Through this bumpy journey, I came to the realization it is quite impossible to find a better real estate agent or a greater human being than Gary.
by cr shresthaOnce I made the life-changing decision to return to greater Atlanta, after a 40+ year absence living and working in the northeast, I knew that I had to have guidance about the area that I still called "home," in order to find a suitable NEW home. I asked for a recommendation of a realtor from a trusted friend and was referred to Gary Mesnick--what luck!! Gary contacted me and provided online information about his qualifications and experience made me feel comfortable, via our telephone conversation, selecting him as my real estate professional. I am delighted that I made the decision to work with Gary because I am writing this recommendation from my new home in greater Atlanta!!! Gary was patient, punctual, knowledgeable, and fun to work with; his knowledge of the greater Atlanta area was exceptional. We visited about 60 pre-selected homes in a two-week period; I was on an impossible timeline for selling and closing on my home in MA! Yet, Gary personalized my time with him so that I felt I was his most important client, even as he responded to others with whom he was working. Gary provided email access to MLS listings customized to my wish list, budget window, and location preferences. Although I was open to many new areas in a five-mile radius of Atlanta, Gary was always "game" for the challenge and we started early and ended at dusk. There was never a hint of fatigue and always a willingness to see any homes that I might wish to reconsider or add to our list. Most importantly, Gary got to meet my entire Atlanta family and introduced us to his family. I now consider him a friend. Moreover, once I finalized my selection of a home and made an offer, Gary was available for any last-minute questions and/or concerns that might have arisen. In addition, he had a long list of professionals that he recommended to help me get settled in my new home and each, from the inspector to the plumber, has provided a value-added service to my overall experience with Gary in locating and closing the deal on my new home. No one was disappointed; it was a truly great experience. I would definitely recommend Gary to anyone seeking a new home in, or seeking to relocate to, the greater Atlanta area. You will be well served and pleased with his handling of your requests and, no doubt, be able to add a new, trusted real estate advisor to your contacts, as well as a list of high-quality service providers who will enable you to enjoy your new home. This certainly proved to be the case from my satisfactory experience with Gary Mesnick!
by parkercosterGary helped us buy a new home as well as sell our previous home. We loved having Gary as our realtor when we purchased our new home. He was so knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the whole process. He was very familiar with the area in which we purchased our new home and very patient as we toured potential homes. He was able to get us a great price on our house, which of course, made us very happy! When it came time to list our previous home there was no question about who would be the realtor to sell it! Gary did a wonderful job helping us get our house ready to sell. He knew that we wanted to sell it quickly, and that definitely happened! Within one HOUR of the house being on the market, we received an outstanding offer. In less than 24 hours, we were under contract. To say that we were thrilled with that result would be an understatement! We are very grateful to Gary for how much he helped us! We couldn't have asked for anything more than what he did for us.
by Carolyn WyattThis is our second time working with Gary. Two years have passed since the first time we worked with Gary when we walked away with exactly what we needed with the payments we needed. He truly made us feel as though we were his only client. There was never any pressure to buy or move along. He wanted us to again find exactly what we wanted. This is our 5th time buying a home. We have been through the drill before. We want this for "x" price. An Agent supplies us with a list and off we go to look. Pick one out, make an offer, and we are done. In essence, our previous Realtors were convenient suppliers of a list of homes for sale. Nice people with good intentions - BUT now that we have worked with Gary, we realize how truly lucky we were to have never bought a "money pit" or worse. Gary asked more and better questions than, “How many bedrooms and baths?" or "How much do you want to spend?". During our first meeting, we realized quickly this man cares about our needs, our future plans, and our financial position. He took care of us and we listened. If not for Gary - this time - we very likely would have made a costly decision. The home we loved and wanted would have cost us dearly later. Gary saw this and gave us sound advice--advice that could and did stop easy money for him, but he put our concerns first. One last note about Gary's service. Gary made suggestions on the offer price. Following Gary's advice we had confidence we were making an offer that was fair for us and the seller. We made 3 offers on this trek to our current home and on each one the offers were accepted the first time. We look forward to the next home we buy and again working with Gary.
by QueenBecca037Five-Stars!!! Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, and Value.
by w8po14My husband and I have submitted two letters to describe our experience with Gary from two different perspectives. We were first-time home-buyers, and I was very nervous. I had heard plenty of horror stories about how stressful and frustrating the process of buying a house was. We talked to a few realtors who seemed OK but made us feel as though we were merely another sale for them. Then we discovered Gary, and I am so grateful we did. He made me feel comfortable from the start, and the feeling grew throughout the process. He demonstrated both a genuine determination to help us get something we were truly happy with, and also expertise both as a realtor and a businessman. We knew that he took the seriousness of the decision and the amount of our money involved personally as if we were his own family. We were also confident that he would fight on our behalf to get the best possible price. He is an excellent negotiator as well as a wealth of information about houses and the real estate game. He answered all our questions, sometimes taking time to check with the group of experts he has aligned himself with. He lets you take the reins instead of forcing his ideas on you. He will offer his opinion if asked but makes it clear everything is your decision. He was gentle with us but capable of being an aggressive negotiator. Not only did we get the house of our choosing (perfect for what we were looking for, extremely well cared for, and in a great location), but we got it for a great price. He even directed us to an excellent deal on homeowners insurance. Because of Gary, the process was fairly stress-free, surprisingly smooth, and rewarding. THANKS, GARY!
by Jenny CreasyGary Mesnick was my Realtor, and he helped me sell my home. My personal situation is possibly a little different than others. My husband passed away, and after the estate was settled, I realized that I could not heal properly in the home that we shared. I am not from Georgia, and due to the care that my husband needed, I did not have a lot of spare time to make many friends or professional contacts. I felt very helpless and alone going into the process of putting up my home for sale. From the moment I contacted Gary to the day we sold my home, Gary demonstrated professionalism, honesty, a very caring and understanding attitude regarding my situation, help in obtaining the best professionals I needed when making necessary repairs to my home, patience with me in all of the questions that I would ask him, and his response time was always extremely quick via text message or telephone calls. I honestly could not have gotten through this period of my life without Gary's help. After I have some time to heal, I will be calling Gary to help me find a new home. Thank you, again, Gary!
by Emma B.I’m writing this letter to recommend Gary from the living room of the new home that he worked tirelessly to help me buy. As a first-time home-buyer, I was naïve and nervous about purchasing my first home. Gary stepped in and walked me through the entire process. His communication between buyers, sellers, attorneys, and mortgage companies is top-notch. Gary is a tactful negotiator and he takes the time to fully understand what you’re looking for so that he can recommend and show you homes that you’ll love. From the beginning to the end of the home-buying process, Gary demonstrated professionalism, honesty, experience, and knowledge while displaying an understanding and caring demeanor. It goes without saying that Gary is among the best in the area and is well-respected among his peers. His other reviews easily back that statement up. With over 15 years of experience and diplomatic communication skills, you cannot go wrong with working with Gary. It is because of the high quality of service that I’m happy to write this letter of recommendation for Gary Mesnick.
by cjnewstart09Gary helped our daughter and son-in-law buy their house here in Atlanta. When she asked him to help us find a rental house because we were moving from out of state he did not hesitate to offer his services even though he usually doesn't do rentals. We needed to find something fast and he made a hectic situation a bit easier. We also appreciated his advice on selling our other house. We have dealt with multiple realtors over the years and Gary is one of the most knowledgeable and trustworthy we have dealt with. Would not hesitate to use his services when buying or selling a house.
by Mike VazThere aren't enough words to say how pleased we are with the services provided by Gary Mesnick. As first-time home buyers in a busy market, the process was very overwhelming at times. Gary always made sure he did what he could to make the process as stress-free as possible. We always felt that Gary had our best interests at heart. We never felt pressured to purchase and Gary always made sure to provide us with any knowledge he could regarding properties we were interested in. From the beginning of our search, Gary made it clear that he would keep showing us houses until we found "the one". Fortunately, our search only took a couple of months, but our home is truly "the one". Gary is a tough negotiator and went above and beyond to make sure we got the best deal possible. Gary was always available when we needed him, and if we ever had any questions or concerns, he always made sure we knew all of our options and made everything very easy to understand. Gary kept us updated every step of the way through our purchase, and there was never a time when we felt like we were in the dark. You'll be in good hands if you use Gary Mesnick's services. He excels at what he does and really does work for you. Gary provided first-class service and made us feel like we were his only clients. We can't recommend him enough. Choosing to work with Gary for the purchase of our first home was a very smart decision.
by Joe & AnitaGary Mesnick was my realtor that helped me purchase a home. In the fall of 2015, Gary helped me sell my home. I could not have gone through that process without him. In January of 2016, I found a home I liked and, again, Gary helped me with every aspect of now being a buyer and purchasing a home. Gary has every attribute a person would want in a Realtor. He is responsive, extremely knowledgeable, very understanding of a person's personal situation, and truly wants the best for his clients. I will continue to recommend him to all of my family and friends. Thank you, Gary, for everything you have done for me! You are the best!
by christinadaniseA few months ago, I was referred to Gary as my buyer’s agent, and it was one of the luckiest days of my life. He is simply AMAZING and incredibly approachable. I honestly felt like he was treating me like his own nephew. Gary is experienced, patient, and knowledgeable, and he really wants you to LEARN when touring houses. For instance, within seconds, he could tell you what’s great and what’s not so great about a house, such as some subtle uneven flooring and potential flooding concern. I’m genuinely impressed. Strategically speaking, he walked me through each step of purchasing a house and patiently debriefed me after each offer that sellers didn’t accept. After a dozen of house visits and a few offers, I finally got myself a beautiful home! Today, I still text or call him when I have questions about some house maintenance. As he said, “My service doesn’t stop here. Once you’re my client, you’re always my client and are welcome to call me when you need recommendations for fixing your house. If I don’t have the answer, I will find out and let you know” Thank you, Gary. I highly recommend him if you’re looking to buy!
by CarolWe bought a house with Gary several years ago, and when we decided to sell again during the challenging COVID market, we enlisted his services again! Gary kept us updated on the changing market conditions and helped us to develop an effective strategy and understand and negotiate the offers. We ended up with a stellar offer and closed quickly and without any issues. We would recommend Gary to anyone selling their home, including first-time sellers, because he is very knowledgeable and takes the time to answer every question and explain the process. He is also knowledgeable of the local context and has a great network and team to work with.
by Gregory LeungWhen we decided to sell our house, Gary Mesnick was the only person we considered. We had bought the house from him years before and had such a great experience with him that no other realtor even entered our minds when we chose to sell. Gary went above and beyond his duties as our realtor, acting with such sensitivity and selflessness on our behalf. We could not have achieved the results we did without his expert guidance and service. Selling a house can be an extremely stressful and worrisome experience. Gary smoothed out the entire process and put in so much extra of his own time and effort, taking so much off of our shoulders. There are other realtors, and then there is Gary Mesnick. He is quite simply the best!
by Colleen BarberoGary was a pleasure to have as my real estate agent. He helped me purchase a house. he is very knowledgeable and made sure i didn't make any wrong turns. Will definitely work with Gary again in the future.
by Erika EngstromAwesome, attentive, professional, and highly recommended. Gary knows the market and advises in a complete and sensitive manner. He understands that this is a business transaction, but balances this with the emotional attachment that is required with home selection. He focuses on you and what you want. His approach is simple, yet highly effective. He listens, guides, and helps the decision-making process. He follows up, and even sometime after the sale he remains interested and wants to be sure you are happy. A rare find we can't recommend him enough.
by Philip GosuIf you are looking for a realtor to buy or sell a home, Gary is a great choice. When we moved to Atlanta he helped us find a rental house while we were looking to buy. When we were looking he had so much patience-showing us as many houses as it took for us to find the right one (and that was a lot! ). We wound up in a beautiful home in a great area. When we decided to leave the Atlanta area we listed the house with him. He was fantastic about explaining our offers. He explains everything thoroughly. We know he had other clients but we felt like his only one. He always gets back to you quickly no matter how minor your concern. Knowledgeable, personalized service at its best! Not to mention his great network of handymen,etc. Could not have asked for a better experience buying and selling thanks to him.
by Julie & SimonI have heard numerous nightmare stories about home buying from my friends, I was thinking all those were true until I met Gary. In fact everyone in my family including my 3-year-old love Gary. His exemplary service and professionalism are one of the greatest positives. During our home search, we went through several listings, shortlisted quite a few from them, and would give the list to Gary for showing. Without asking any questions Gary will schedule all the showings and will confirm us within hours. We were surprised how he is able to do this so quickly. Also, he is always smiling irrespective of how bad/good we choose a house for showing. We went to a lot of showings and always his words would be - There is nothing right or wrong everything is an experience in your home buying and be happy that you are learning new things. That was a big optimistic statement that kept us going throughout our home search. I had a unique employment situation that posed a challenge to get financing. We submitted an offer for a home and when everything was going well I heard that my loan is rejected. Gary was with us all through this time providing us with additional lender contacts. In fact, one of Gary's contacts helped us in our lending and we were able to get financing for the second home that we submitted an offer. Thank you Gary for all you have done throughout this home search exercise. note - :-) My son is so used to meeting Gary in new houses, whenever we go to a new house/friend's place he says its Gary's house
by anitabradford304I can't recommend Gary highly enough. My fiancé and I engaged him in the sale of two homes and the purchase of a third in 2016. The service and attention to detail that he provides before, during, and after a sale is second-to-none. Buying or selling a home can be incredibly stressful, but Gary makes it less so. After our last purchase, he acted as a de facto general contractor; connecting us with top-notch vendors for the variety of projects needed to truly make the home "our" home. He seems to know someone for everything! You cannot go wrong with Gary.
by Priya and SriramGary helped us to sell our house in a few months. He negotiated for us and was a perfect liaison between us and the buyer’s agent. He was very knowledgeable about the paperwork and made this whole process very easy. We met Gary before we listed our home. He gave us numerous helpful suggestions about how to position our home to its full advantage. After taking his suggestions, we met again, and he carefully explained the comps to us. Together, after much research on Gary’s part, we then came up with a listing price. Next, he hired a professional photographer to show our home at its best on the FMLS and GAMLS in photos and in a virtual tour. He also used a designer for our full-color custom flyer and virtual tour CDs. We were impressed by his attention to every detail. He was very busy with other clients, both buying and selling, but treated us as if we were his most important client. His marketing plan, syndicating to at least 1000 websites, worked immediately and we were approached by a number of buyers, even in these trying times. We sold our home at a great price in a few months and we couldn’t have done it without Gary helping us every step of the way. We highly recommend Gary for all of your real estate transactions.
by BradI am writing to acknowledge the great services rendered by Real Estate Agent Gary Mesnick. Mr. Mesnick went above and beyond to make sure the selection of properties met all my criteria and was an advocate for me in every way possible. He truly made the overwhelmingly hectic move process from another state and the transition into a new home much more manageable. He was always punctual and was readily available at all times and worked around my schedule. I highly recommend Mr. Mesnick to other federal employees or anyone who is looking for an exceptionally loyal realtor.
by Joan & StevenWe are very happy to have worked with Gary Mesnick in buying our first home. He made us feel comfortable right from the start. He gave us access to 2 listing sites (more complete and accurate compared to Trulia/Zillow etc.) and let us drive the home search, but was always available to answer any questions we had. This helped us pick homes that suited our needs, within our budget. Gary was able to schedule viewings for all the houses we were interested in, at our convenience - after work and on weekends. Being first-time home buyers, Gary’s experience (over 30 years) and market expertise helped us tremendously. He gave us space to look through the houses on our own and we never were under any kind of pressure. Gary also helped us understand several features we should look for in buying a house, features we wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. Gary was always reachable over the phone for our queries and on the rare occasions when we had to leave a voice message, he called us back within 30 minutes. Once we found a house we liked, Gary did a comparative analysis which helped us make a strong offer. Gary’s analysis came very close to the actual numbers calculated by the professional appraiser. Gary’s list of preferred vendors from home inspectors to carpet cleaners and everything in between has been a huge bonus. We closed on a home within 2 months of meeting Gary, and our reaction after we closed on our first home was, Wow! That was easy!
by SharonWhen we decided to sell our house, Gary Mesnick was the only person we considered. We had bought the house from him years before and had such a great experience that no other realtor even entered our minds when we chose to sell. Gary went above and beyond his duties as our realtor, acting with such sensitivity and selflessness on our behalf. We could not have achieved the results we did without his expert guidance and service. Selling a house can be an extremely stressful and worrisome experience. Gary smoothed out the entire process and put in so much extra of his own time and effort, taking so much off of our shoulders. There are other realtors, and then there is Gary Mesnick. He is quite simply the best!
by Shahar & HafeesGary listed our home and within a few days, we had an offer. Gary worked out any and all problems quickly and to our satisfaction. He is really knowledgeable about the real estate market in this economy, which gave us a lot of confidence in him. He took care of us at every turn and we felt he was really on our side. He negotiated a complicated sales agreement for us and we got through escrow very quickly. Gary really believes in what he's doing and that made the stress of selling a house so much easier.
by zuser20170218122533254In choosing Gary Mesnick as our real estate agent, we definitely made the right choice. Gary was very patient throughout the process (even when we ran into a few bumps in the road). He showed us over 40 houses and was always willing to work around our busy schedules. Gary did an excellent job communicating with us and keeping us informed throughout the process. He was willing to go the extra mile for us and it paid off in the end. We love our new home and couldn’t be happier! I would recommend Gary to anyone in need of a real estate agent.
by lisalaflamme2I’m writing this letter to recommend Gary from the living room of the new home that he worked tirelessly to help me buy. As a first-time home-buyer, I was naïve and nervous about purchasing my first home. Gary stepped in and walked me through the entire process. His communication between buyer, seller, attorneys, and mortgage companies is top-notch. Gary is a tactful negotiator and he takes the time to fully understand what you’re looking for so that he can recommend and show you homes that you’ll love. From the beginning to the end of the home-buying process, Gary demonstrated professionalism, honesty, experience, and knowledge while displaying an understanding and caring demeanor. It goes without saying that Gary is among the best in the area and is well-respected among his peers. His other reviews easily back that statement up. With over 15 years of experience and diplomatic communication skills, you cannot go wrong with working with Gary. It is because of the high quality of service that I’m happy to write this letter of recommendation for Gary Mesnick. Highly likely recommended.
by RayWhen we began our home-buying process, with so many real estate agents on the market we didn’t know who to turn to. We prayed for direction and God sent us Gary Mesnick! Words can not express how amazing he is! Upon our initial meeting, he made us feel comfortable. He told us he was going to treat us like family and he did just that! He has a wealth of knowledge that goes far beyond just showing and selling homes. While we walked through homes he would inspect them and would point out things that he felt were areas of concern. He was extremely patient with my husband and me as we viewed several homes until we found the one that was perfect for us. He was on top of everything, reviewed our documents, and would not rest until we were in our home! You will not find anyone more dedicated, diligent, knowledgeable, and caring than Gary Mesnick to handle your home-buying needs!
by zuser20170909165453044Gary helped us through the sometimes, very daunting task of selling a home and also buying a new home. He explained his Real State strategy since our first meeting, which gave us confidence in his knowledge. Gary is extremely experienced as a realtor, he is knowledgeable, punctual, and trustworthy and he has a great sense of humor! Gary also gave us great advice in a lot of other aspects of home ownership. We are extremely happy with his services and very grateful to Mr. Mesnick.
by Jaime OliverRecently I had the pleasure of working with Gary Mesnick on the sale of our home. Gary was both knowledgeable and professional at every step of the process. He did research to determine what price we should list our house and sure enough we were under contract in 5 days. He’s a great negotiator and was able to get us a full-price offer from a great buyer. The rest of the process was seamless all the way through the closing. I would highly recommend Gary to my friends and family.
by zuser20170806192427662My wife is a flight attendant and is based in Atlanta. Since she is in Atlanta fifteen days out of every month, we decided to look into purchasing a home, where we could not only stay but use the additional rooms for other flight attendants who needed a place to stay. Gary has been extremely helpful and conscientious. He has taken a great deal of time to help us find a great location and works extremely hard to answer all of our questions. He literally makes himself available around the clock due to both of our hectic schedules. Although we have not yet closed on the house, I would highly recommend Gary’s services, simply based on his high standards and principles. We were quite lucky to have found him and he is definitely worth his weight in gold.
by jessicabA few months ago, I was referred to Gary as my buyer’s agent, and it was one of the luckiest days of my life. He is simply AMAZING and incredibly approachable. I honestly felt like he was treating me like his own nephew. Gary is experienced, patient, and knowledgeable, and he really wants you to LEARN when touring houses. For instance, within seconds, he could tell you what’s great and what’s not so great about a house, such as some subtle uneven flooring and potential flooding concern. I’m genuinely impressed. Strategically speaking, he walked me through each step of purchasing a house and patiently debriefed me after each offer that sellers didn’t accept. After a dozen of house visits and a few offers, I finally got myself a beautiful home! Today, I still text or call him when I have questions about some house maintenance. As he said, “My service doesn’t stop here. Once you’re my client, you’re always my client and are welcome to call me when you need recommendations for fixing your house. If I don’t have the answer, I will find out and let you know” Thank you, Gary. I highly recommend him if you’re looking to buy!
by Heather & WillWe are from Michigan and due to work reasons, we were relocating to Atlanta. We lived in a condo in Michigan, so this is our first single-family home purchase. Without knowing a lot of folks in Atlanta, we researched Angie’s list and narrowed down 3 real estate agents, Gary Mesnick being one of them. Of all 3 agents, Gary was very prompt in getting back to us. And he gave a lot of references from his previous clients and got us set up within a day on the ListingBook site, so we started getting the listings right away. The rest of the agents were not responsive or late or when they did call back, seem to have their own agenda/interest, instead of understanding what we were looking. Gary on the contrary, gave some good feedback, and got us set up to get listings so fast, so we decided to not even talk to ANY other agents. We short-listed 8-10 houses to visit and informed Gary that we will visit Atlanta during the Memorial weekend. Being a long weekend, we were worried about Gary’s availability and the sellers’ availability. But Gary cleared his calendar up and dedicated 1 and ½ days completely for us. When we met first Gary in our hotel the first day, he spent an hour or so explaining his background and gave us some good info on home buyer “gotchas”. In this interaction, Gary was very informative and not at all pushy. His wealth of experience and his passion for this Real estate business was very evident. He was very particular that everyone should win, in any type of interaction or business. Then when we went and saw the houses, he would let us look through it and form our own opinion and ask for feedback. Then he gave his insightful and fact-based feedback about the house, we learned a lot from Gary. And when we finalized the house we want to put down the offer, Gary provided comps and gave his professional opinion on our offer price. And during the offer/contingency/acceptance period, Gary was on top of getting the papers to me for signature and was ALWAYS available for questions. Even when the seller’s agent was not on top of things, Gary made up for that also. When we were worried about one issue in this house, Gary went above and beyond to get some professional opinion from a siding company and also gave his feedback too. When we came to Atlanta for closing, Gary extended his availability to pick us up from the airport or hotel and made sure everything went smoothly. And after we moved in, he called us after 2-3 days to check if everything is ok. Even now (a month after closing), if we have questions about house maintenance, I call Gary and he still has the same level of promptness and courtesy. And Gary gave us the list of lenders to choose from and he had good references for other services as well. My wife and I are thankful to Gary for helping us buy this house and we feel, we have a good friend who we can call upon for any other challenges that might come up in owning this house. We strongly recommend Gary to any home buyer or seller, you will not get anyone who is even close to Gary. Satisfaction, Friendly approach, Strong industry knowledge, and Courteousness are what you will experience if you chose Gary Mesnick!!
by Gregory hkgGary Mesnick served as our Buyer's Real Estate Agent in purchasing a home in the Greater Atlanta area. The process could not have gone anymore smoothly in all respects. Gary is a true real estate professional who is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate and the local market. Beyond being bright and knowledgeable, the thing I liked best about Gary is his patience and low-pressure approach. He will not try to pressure you into making a sale for his benefit and is prepared to go at your pace. He makes you feel special and as if you were his only client. The services he provides go well beyond the basic real estate transaction as he gave me expert advice on things like the mortgage process, home inspectors, contractors, etc. He made himself available to us on days, nights, and weekends. It was not uncommon for us to have lengthy conversations well beyond normal working hours. Gary also has a process and system THAT WORKS. He manages all the minute details behind the scene and is always on top of things. We could relax throughout the process knowing Gary always had everything under control. Real Estate transactions can be extremely stressful, but Gary took all the stress out of the process. He immediately gained our trust and confidence with his knowledge, poise, patience, and a SYSTEM that is unparalleled in the business. My wife and I have extremely high standards and demand the best. Gary greatly exceeded those standards and always went the extra mile. On our next real estate transaction, we will not consider anyone but Gary whether we are buying or selling. We give him our highest unqualified recommendation and trust him like no other in the business. In simple terms, Gary is the BEST.
by nkathiresanWorking with Gary was wonderful. He was always engaged in the process and stayed on top of all the proceedings for us. It took a bit of the mental load off for us. He was great at keeping the pressure on the buyer to get us the best offer. He is personable and cares about his clients. This was our second time working with Gary (once buying/once selling) and it was fantastic. I would definitely work with Gary again had we not moved out of the area, but I would not hesitate at recommending him to other home buyers/owners.
by Russell B.Gary is an extremely knowledgeable, effective, and friendly realtor. My husband and I knew we had to act fast to get a great house in the busy April Atlanta real estate market. We reached out to Gary after another realtor was not making time for us. Gary met with us immediately and provided upfront all the information we would need to work with him. Helping us find a house we loved was obviously his top priority. He also made sure to go over the buyer’s broker agreement in detail, which was important to us, being new to the state. We knew what we were looking for in a home, so we sent Gary several listings which he immediately made appointments to view. When we decided to put an offer on one of the houses, he made sure to get the offer in the next morning, and it was ultimately accepted. Gary provided information on reputable lenders, but when we decided to use our own credit union, he worked with the lender and us to make sure the financing contingencies were met on time. Gary also helped us coordinate home inspections within a short window. This included getting a structural engineer to confirm that the house was settling, not shifting, which gave us great peace of mind. Gary cared the most about meeting our needs and making sure we understood the process and decision points. He provided information, insight, and wisdom, but also made sure we were meeting our priorities at every stage. The closing went smoothly, and we are happily living in our new home. Since timing was everything in our home-buying process, we truly do not think we would have gotten a house as great as the one we did with any realtor other than Gary. Buying a home is stressful, but it can be much less stressful with a realtor you trust and can talk to who is highly responsive. Gary was an outstanding realtor, and if we ever move (which we hope we don’t), we will call him! We have referred Gary to multiple friends, family, and colleagues. He is now helping my parents to find their dream home in Johns Creek!
by Will RyanGary’s knowledge and professionalism make him a great advocate for helping make important financial and family decisions. He is willing to help before, during, and after closing on a new home. Five-Stars!!! Professionalism, Quality, and Value.
by Colleen BarberoWe are writing to enthusiastically recommend Gary Mesnick to be your realtor whether you are buying or selling a home. We have worked with Gary to do both, and we are extremely satisfied with the service he provided. He has a tremendous knowledge of the Atlanta housing market which he gleaned from many years of experience, and he is a genuinely nice guy. He is always friendly and available for any questions – day or night. After having worked with Gary to purchase a home in the Tucker area in 2017, we already knew that we want to work with him when we decided to sell the home in early 2021. We are grateful that we could rely on Gary’s good advice, sound judgment, and calming demeanor as we put the house on the market and received several offers. Then, a few months later, we reached out to Gary again when we found a home for sale in the neighborhood we most wanted to live in. Yet again, we knew we could act very quickly, which is always necessary in this hot Atlanta market. Because of Gary’s responsiveness and because we relied on his recommendations, our offer was accepted, and we avoided having to compete with numerous other buyers. If you decide to hire Gary Mesnick as your realtor, you are certain to have a better experience buying or selling your home. You will be working with one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable agents in town.
by Teresa MainesI was offered a job in Atlanta and was given 2 weeks to report. I accepted the job with the expectation of either sleeping in the car or driving 5 hours round trip each day (if Atlanta’s traffic agreed). Gary was recommended by a friend of my wife’s. I contacted him and told him I was not able to buy a house yet, and that could he recommend a rental agent. Gary offered to help personally. He asked for no compensation only that “IF” I was able to sell my home in Florida, and “IF” I was still working in Atlanta at that time—that I would allow him to be my agent. For me, that was an easy promise. Gary made the process very easy. He sent me listings in my budget to review and kept me updated daily. We met in Atlanta, and he drove me around Atlanta looking at homes. As happens so often, it was late, and I was getting frustrated; I was prepared to give in to that long daily drive when Gary suggested “…one last one on the list.” And, that home was perfect. I don't expect one to be naïve, Gary did get a “finder’s” fee. Which I happen to see “on purpose,” and I can assure everyone that it did not cover the gas used or the time and effort spent assisting me with the search--he even managed the leasing paperwork for me. Gary did all of this based on the “promise” of a complete stranger (me). I can’t wait until I am in the market for a “new home.” If Gary worked this hard for “nothing” I can’t wait to see the results when actual compensation is involved. I highly recommend Gary to anyone buying a home in or relocating to the Atlanta area.
by David BarberoBuying or selling a home in Atlanta Metro? Gary is the best. Really, Gary is THE best. My wife and I have bought and sold eight homes and compared to all the other agents Mr. Mesnick by far is the most responsive, knowledgeable, patient, hardworking, and determined to get it right. You know he is fighting for your best interest every step of the way. That's good too, because the Atlanta area housing market is complicated and has challenges we haven't seen in other markets. If you're looking for an agent, sit down and have a talk with Gary. He'll buy you lunch and I believe you'll like what you hear. Highly recommended!
by WilliamWe are writing this to express our gratitude and complete satisfaction with our real estate agent Mr. Gary Mesnick, who represented us in our recent purchase of a perfect single-family home. Throughout the entire process, Gary was professional, dedicated, courteous, and ever-ready to help. During our first meeting with Gary, he listened attentively as we explained our requirements and needs. Gary guided us through the entire process, from searching for the house to making the offer and closing the deal. He has incredible attention to detail, excellent follow-through, and is extremely kind and personable. He was always expedient in returning our calls and setting up tours. He offered us an objective viewpoint on each house we toured, thereby helping us with our decisions. By comparing our home with other homes in the area, he helped us set a reasonable buying price and helped us negotiate with sellers before hitting our final price. Gary was willing to go the extra mile in helping us out: from finding us a home inspector, providing us an estimate for minor repairs, to giving us his personal recommendations for local electricians, plumbers, contractors and a lot more. We credit Gary with a smooth home-buying experience. Gary is wonderful at what he does, as well as a great person. We would highly recommend him and will do so whenever the opportunity arises.
by David W.Gary did an outstanding job helping us sell out house. We made a great profit, got an offer the first weekend of showings, and sold quickly. I let Gary know I wanted as much educating on the process as possible and he was as informative, thorough, and helpful every step of the way. I'll be solely using him in the future.
by Sandy & TonyThis was our 6th home purchase. Gary is the best RealEstate Agent we have ever worked with. After being in our last house for 24 years it was difficult to even decide what we really wanted/needed. Thru the whole process he did everything to help us-showed us as many houses as we requested and there were ALOT! He could not have been kinder or more patient with us. He makes you feel like you are his only client. He responded promptly to any inquiry, explained things clearly, and kept us informed every step of the way. Paid attention to detail whether pertaining to the house itself or the purchase process . You can’t find a better Real Estate Agent than Gary Mesnick!
by Chelcie CoffeyPurchasing a home can be a daunting task for anyone, particularly for first-time buyers like us in an unfamiliar city. We had just moved from Michigan and were looking to find a home as soon as possible. We were lucky to have a good friend in the Greater Atlanta area who recommended Gary to us based on his impressive rating/reviews on Angie's list. This was after I had spoken to a few other realtors who were not as responsive as Gary. We got in touch with Gary and right away he arranged a meeting for us where he explained his approach to the home-buying process and how we would have his VIP client services. Gary was very understanding of our anxieties as first-time homebuyers and walked us through each step making the entire process very smooth & easy. Gary ensured us that our preferences were first and foremost as part of the process. He let us drive the home search & selection stage and set us up for access to two very good resources (FMLS & Listing book website). This allowed us to search & browse multiple properties that fit our needs & preferences. We short-listed a number of homes each week over a 3-week period. And Gary would give us his time on weekdays as well as weekends from morning till evening until we had seen all the homes on our list. He was very considerate & courteous when we went to see homes taking breaks for lunch and also offering us water bottles on hot days. While seeing homes, Gary would give us time to form our opinion/rating of the house based on our needs and then share his valuable feedback & point out issues (if any) with the house. Gary also shared little tidbits of information about what goes into building a house, for example - types of hardwood floors, and sidings - all this was new information for us & very helpful to know. We finally decided on a house of our liking which was a new construction and closed on it prior to our deadline, thanks to Gary. Gary also made helpful recommendations for trusted lenders and we had a great experience working with one of them. He also shared his trusted vendor list from carpenters to insurance agents and everyone in between. When it came to communication, Gary is always there for his clients - whether it is a quick update call or to check up on things (even after moving into our new home!). Gary made sure that we were always posted on developments with reminders of the next appointment or item needed. As he has been in the industry for a number of years, he is an expert on the greater Atlanta area and does an excellent job of researching for comps when deciding on an offer price. Our friends (recent home-buyers) who met Gary on one of our home-viewing weekends were very impressed by Gary's industry expertise & how he worked. At the end of the process, we were extremely glad that we had found Gary. He made us feel very comfortable throughout the process and by the end, he had also become a friend who we can rely on for any future advice as homeowners. After we moved into our home Gary gave us a quick call to check how everything was going and if we needed help with anything. Gary indeed works as a partner with your best interests at heart and not merely as an agent for whom you are just a case number. This way he made us feel as if we were the only clients he was working with - a truly VIP experience! You will get a very personalized experience, excellent support & industry expertise, and on top of it, a class act & a great guy to work with. We strongly recommend Gary for your home-buying process. Home buying is complicated enough- having the right person to help you makes an enormous difference!
by anitabradford304Gary is the best agent I could have worked with in Atlanta. He was very professional and educated me in making a decision. His commitment to looking out for my interests was very evident. I was very impressed and reassured by the manner all the documents were filed and corrections were done in due time. He has continued to look out for our transition into our new home and also understands its upkeep. Most important I came out feeling good about my decision. I would definitely recommend Gary to anyone who wants to buy a home that they will love.
by Steven PaulGary did an outstanding job for us in selling our home in the Wild Timber subdivision of Sugar Hill. We tried three agents before we finally found Gary. His marketing approach, attention to detail, and knowledge of everything needed to sell a home quickly at the maximum price turned out to be the keys to success in us finally selling our home after nearly a year on the market. We would recommend Gary highly to anyone wanting to sell or buy a home in the greater Atlanta area.
by Fathima AmbrinWhen we decided to buy a home here in Georgia, First we started searching on different websites and reading different blogs, and sure we were so confused. Then a friend of ours referred Mr. Gary. We spoke with Gary over the phone and he arranged a meeting at Panera. He spend an hour explaining his background and educated us about the whole process of home buying. We asked a lot of questions about the home-buying process, issues, etc., He clarified for us so patiently and kindly. We were satisfied and selected Gary as our real estate agent. Once we decided to go with Gary, he set up an account in the Listing book, FMLS web sites which has all resources in one place to research about the house, its location, neighborhood, schools, etc. We reviewed the houses on those websites and shortlisted 5 to 7 houses to visit each time. Once we were shortlisted, we informed Gary about them. He promptly responded and scheduled visits as early as possible. It was quicker than we expected and we always wondered how Gary was able to schedule the visits so quickly. He kept us informed about issues upfront. We have seen several houses and Gary was so patient showing all the houses. No pressure and no pushiness. After the tour of every home, Gary will ask for feedback on the home and He used to provide his feedback as well. His feedback was very useful and informative. We were very confident that we are in the right direction of choosing the right home. Gary’s professional knowledge and experience helped us make correct decisions. We learned a lot from Gary. Once we decided on the home, he helped us in putting the offer, Home Inspections, and subsequent negotiations. The entire process was so transparent. Gary’s experience & Inputs were so helpful and they helped us to get the house we wanted. Gary didn’t stop at closing but he extended his support even after. He was very punctual, professional and helped us a lot throughout the process. We are thankful to Gary for helping us buy the house we wanted and we are feeling so happy and satisfied with our choices. We strongly recommend Gary to any home buyer or seller.
by Maitri and KunalBeing first-time home buyers, we really had no idea where to start. We found Gary through Angie's list, and were rather impressed with all his reviews - and he lived up to the expectations. We never felt pressure from Gary to look at or make an offer on any particular property. He gave us objective opinions on all the properties we saw, including the positives and the negatives, but only after letting us express our own opinions. Looking back, we saw some real duds, but it took a while for us to realize what a good house looked like in our price range. Other people have said it before, but we really felt like we were his only client. I don't know how he does it! Gary also made handling the ridiculous amount of paperwork seem easy. All our phone calls were immediately returned, and he was always very pleasant to talk to. Once we choose our home, Gary offered some excellent tips and advice on maintaining and handling things around the house. All in all, we would definitely recommend Gary to our friends and family.
by Ponns & VaniGary was able to successfully sell our condo for the full asking price in just a few days. He has to be one of the best in the industry! This is our second transaction with him in 5 months and he didn't disappoint. He is just a gem to work with. He's so knowledgeable, responsive, and a great resource! I have recommended him to friends and will continue to do so! Can't go wrong with him!
by ccurl2We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Gary Mesnick. We were first-time home buyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right house. On top of that, we started our search in COVID times, when demand for houses was already high in the market and availability was limited. Initially, we worked with a couple of other realtors too, but no one seemed to click until we met Gary. We wanted someone who could guide us right, be our mentor and at the same time doesn't get exhausted in the current turbulent market. Throughout the past so many months, he had been with us at every step. He made sure that every mail and every call of ours was addressed no matter what time of day or night it was. His professionalism, mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and work ethics are incomparable. We always had an experienced mentor by our side to help us make the best decision for our family. Gary made sure that he walked us through every step of the negotiation, thoroughly explaining every single piece of documentation multiple times to make sure we understood it, even suggesting we write a letter to the sellers to explain to them why they should choose us. An unconventional approach with a human touch. Only because of him, we are owners of a beautiful house which we proudly call our home. We highly recommend Gary to all those who are seriously looking out to buy their dream homes.
by Terri B.Gary Mesnick took care of all aspects of selling my house to meet my desired timeline. Gary Mesnick is a Superb Real Estate Agent, with many years of experience. A friend highly recommended him to me when I mentioned, in casual conversation, that I wanted to hire a good "Seller's Real Estate Agent." I had a target month by which I wanted to sell my house so that I could relocate to another State during the late summer months. Had I known that Gary would provide a huge amount of advice and assistance to me before we entered into a contract, I would have called him 2 months before the time I first contacted him. On our first meeting, he presented a notebook Powerpoint presentation of current real estate market statistics, advice, and his services and marketing strategy. He answered all questions and left a "Pre-Sale Package" designed for my needs (a portfolio of his marketing action plan, his steps for selling a house quickly, and a Cancellation Guarantee). First of all, I was advised to make sure that my house was, or would be, in tip-top condition and that all major systems were in excellent condition. That took a good bit of time on my part. Next, we had professionals inspect the house and provide a fair market price estimate. Then, Gary and I signed a contract for his services to sell the house. When my house was Listed, a Buyer offered a contract bid within 4 days! After 6 days, I signed a Binding Contract to sell the house. What an amazing thing, to see how well the house "showed" to potential buyers (according to other real estate agents) and how fast the house went under contract. My house sale was Closed a couple of weeks before the target date that I discussed with Gary! My friend has employed Gary at different times as a Buyer's Agent, and as a Seller's Agent, and the friend has always been very happy with Gary's services. From my perspective, Gary is an excellent "Seller's Agent" and negotiator.
by Sidharath PankajGary was awesome. We went to him on a recommendation and we are so glad we did. Gary somehow makes you feel like you are his only client. From staying up til midnight for us to showing us houses and offering advice, Gary was awesome throughout. We truly can’t recommend him enough! Thanks for all you did for us!
