"I would highly recommend Greg Dorsey. My husband and I were debating selling our West Newton home or renovating. We love our neighborhood but needed more room. We contacted Greg for an evaluation of our home’s worth. It was clear from the questions he asked that he has a very good understanding of the Newton real estate market. Within 24 hours, Greg gave us a market analysis complete with his very detailed and sound reasons for why we should not sell our home! Although the data told us that we would make money (as compared to our original buying price) on a sale, it also told us that finding a home similar in quality to ours and in a similar location in our school district would be very difficult despite the equity we'd gained, we trusted Greg's advice and instead of selling and moving, we opted to maximize the property’s value by creating more living space to accommodate the family. In my experience, real estate agents often just think about the commission they will earn instead of how to benefit the homeowner with Greg, you definitely get the feeling that you are working with someone who is honest and really just wants what is best for you. We loved his ideas and asked for recommendations for builders to use. He gave us a list of vendors to choose from which included the vendor who worked on his own home, and we asked for bids from both some of those vendors and from some recommended by our architect. In the end, Greg's recommended vendor won out the bid was very, very competitive, and we'd found someone who we knew we would work well with (and we checked five references)."

"Greg = Results, Service, and Value! I had a great experience working with Greg Dorsey and would highly recommend working with him for any of your real estate needs.

"Greg = Results, Service, and Value! I had a great experience working with Greg Dorsey and would highly recommend working with him for any of your real estate needs. Greg went above and beyond from the day I met him to the day I closed – answering hours of my questions at our first meeting to even helping move the last of my stuff on closing day when I mixed up the timing. Greg was available day or night when needed, literally! Greg made great recommendations throughout the process but also listened closely to what was important to me when it mattered most. The service Greg provided was amazing and I can’t imagine it being matched. We interviewed multiple Realtors® and chose Greg for his experience, helpfulness, and commitment to our process. Many other Realtors® we met had much less experience than Greg and it was very reassuring to know that he had worked in the business for eighteen years and was extremely confident of his assessment of our condo and the market. When other Realtors® priced our condo around $215k to $230k, Greg confidently listed my condo at $249,900 and sold it in six days for $16,000 over the asking price. There is no doubt in my mind that my sale was such incredible success thanks to Greg’s service and real estate expertise. Greg has a tremendous level of pride in what he does and his attention to the details throughout my sale resulted in a value that far exceeded what I ever could have anticipated."

"We own two residential apartment buildings (42 units) in the Brighton Cleveland circle area for the past 32 years. Greg has been renting our units for the last 17 years! Prior to Greg, we kept changing Realtors® on an almost yearly basis. Greg's service, professionalism, knowledge of the markets has kept us a happy and loyal customer over the years. He has had many agents working for him over the years and we were always impressed at their professionalism and their interaction with our current tenants as well as our future ones. We have never had any complaints or problems with his agents. We think this is a testament to Greg's hiring abilities as well as his management of the workforce. Greg doesn't just call you before the upcoming rental period; he is in contact with us throughout the year seeing how he can help us to increase revenue and productivity. Greg has helped us set up receiving rent payments online, electronic document signing for leases, sharing Google docs for apartment information, and his extensive list of contractors for various repair/renovation work, etc. all without any compensation from us. (We buy him to lunch once a year) Finally, we get questions all the time about real estate from friends, family, and business associates, and the majority of the time we just give them Greg's number and tell them he will take care of you."

"Greg Dorsey and the team at First Choice are hands down the best Realtors® I’ve ever worked with. A consummate professional, Greg brings a wealth of knowledge, energy and passion to the complex business of buying/selling homes. I sought Greg out on the recommendation of a good friend after having an unfortunate experience with another agent. I met with Greg, reviewed my goals and timeline for the sale of my home very late in the selling season. Greg told me he could sell my home and would bring me a buyer who would be willing to close before Christmas. And he did exactly that. He brought his expert team to the selling process, made sure he was prepared with data to meet any and all objections that might be raised and in less than 30 days helped me evaluate multiple closeable offers. Greg communicated clearly all throughout the process on the status of showings and ultimately offers. After working with Greg I realize I never really knew what a professional Realtor® brings to the table, but I certainly do now. I’ll never do business with another Realtor®!"
