We used Gregg for the purchase of our home when we downsized and we couldn't be happier with all that he delivered. Gregg is smart, responsive, honest and stays on top of the entire process from start to closing. He provides a wealth of data and his experienced point of view to help guide clients. He takes clients on house tours like he is buying the home for his own family. He opens every closet, looks at every appliance, gets down in the ground to look at hot water heaters and so much more. His negotiation skills are top notch. From detailed spreadsheets on offers to counsel on what offer is reasonable in the ever changing real estate market. And his services don't stop there. He accompanied us for the entire inspection. Listening to every word that the inspector said and explaining to us when necessary. And then he negotiated for us to make sure we were compensated for certain i…

Gregg and Lilia represented us on the purchase of our home in Scarsdale and we could not be happier with their guidance and support. We were first attracted to Gregg after seeing his market data postings and hired him when it was clear he could also guide us on other aspects of our transaction including architects, renovations and financing. Gregg and Lilia did not disappoint. They are incredibly professional, knowledgeable and client-focused. It was clear Gregg and Lilia wanted what was best for us and we felt secure in their hands. When we wanted to bid on home that differed significantly from what we were looking for, they challenged us and pointed out their own concerns about the home and property. They wanted to make sure we were fully informed and not just buying on emotion. They are also very strategic. Once we decided to move forward, they helped come up with an offer that was qu…

When we wanted to bid on home that differed significantly from what we were looking for, they challenged us and pointed out their own concerns about the home and property. They wanted to make sure we were fully informed and not just buying on emotion. They are also very strategic. Once we decided to move forward, they helped come up with an offer that was quickly accepted without getting into a competitive bidding situation and while also avoiding overpaying. During the entire process Gregg was on our “speed dial” and was always available for us, day and night. We always felt like we were his only client. Additionally, his legal knowledge was valuable during the contract process and when it came to guiding us on archaic restrictive covenants of the Heathcote Association. Gregg was a strong advocate and worked collaboratively with the other side, getting us credits, both after the inspection and at the closing table. The value and insight delivered by Gregg and Lilia far exceeded anything we had previously experienced in the market. On top of that, they delivered us a commission rebate at closing that was an added bonus. If you are looking to buy a home in the area, call Gregg, you will be happy you did.

I initially selected Greg because I was attracted to his data postings. He did a great job for us with about a week's notice. Unlike most Realtors, he will not insult your intelligence and is very frank. Finally, and something I didn't expect, he has great EQ and managed a few bumps in the road with great aplomb and effectiveness. Highly recommended!

Gregg approaches a home sale as a collaborative process and works with an incredible team of people. From top-notch stagers to a variety of reliable contractors. Every person Gregg brought into the selling process added value. Gregg is an inherently decent, kind person. There were a couple of situations that arose (all created by us) that would be challenging for any realtor and Gregg was always supportive and did the right thing for our situation - which we greatly appreciated. What I liked most about working with Gregg is that he answered all of our questions and clearly articulated his thinking. I could disagree with him or he could with me and I always thought it produced a better outcome for both of us. His communication was excellent throughout the process. Gregg clearly loves what he does and is at the top of his field. He had a full-price offer with great terms very quickly. I would use Pendulum/Gregg for every real estate transaction if I could.

Gregg is the consummate professional and hiring him is one of the best decisions I have made. I am certain that Gregg’s insight and efforts resulted in my home selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars more than it would have with anybody else. Equally as important, he made the process simple and easy for me – fully preparing my home for market and selling it while I was out of state. While I was in Florida for the winter, I decided to sell my home in NY. I reached out to Gregg and gave him my garage code and a budget. Gregg mapped out a plan and, over the next few weeks, executed it flawlessly. In addition to boxing up many of my belongings, decluttering my entire home and changing the lighting himself, he brought in and oversaw painters, movers and stagers. He even laid out the money for their services, which I later repaid. He was in constant communication with me, sending me d…

While I was in Florida for the winter, I decided to sell my home in NY. I reached out to Gregg and gave him my garage code and a budget. Gregg mapped out a plan and, over the next few weeks, executed it flawlessly. In addition to boxing up many of my belongings, decluttering my entire home and changing the lighting himself, he brought in and oversaw painters, movers and stagers. He even laid out the money for their services, which I later repaid. He was in constant communication with me, sending me daily updates, including pictures, so I could follow the progress and chime in when necessary. It could not have been easier nor less stressful. Gregg took care of us and our home as if we were family. Gregg analyzed my entire development which helped inform our pricing decision and delivered multiple offers the first week, including one that was $300,000 more than what my neighbor’s home, which was the same model, was selling for. As a result of Gregg’s efforts, he got us an incredible deal, without contingencies, and with a closing date that met our needs - almost 5 months from the contract date. Before we came back to NY, Gregg took the time to put all of our belongings back where they were before he started this process. In the end, because of Gregg’s efforts and vision, we had the highest sale price in our community since 2007 and could not be happier.
