We called Adam based on a word-of-mouth recommendation because we wanted to see a particular home in a "hot" location, and he got us in to see it that evening, after his normal working hours. We put a bid in later that night. We didn't get that particular home, but it cemented our working relationship. We asked him to be our Realtor and help us navigate the market based on our wish list. He researched and found great options for us.
Jane Dominguez
I would recommend Adam to anyone looking to buy a house. No matter when I asked to see a house Adam was always so quick to respond no matter the day or time. He was able to answer any questions I had. He guided me so smoothly into buying my first house. I can never recommend Adam enough!
Stephanie Barton
We wish every person we had to deal with when buying and selling a home was like our realtor! Adam Gurske is simply fabulous! He kept us informed every step of the way and found solutions to solve those invariable wrinkles that popped up. He is a delight to work with. He has built up a solid network of professionals to make both buying and selling a home go as smoothly as possible. We totally put Adam through his paces! He listened to what we wanted and showed us a variety of homes. He always made excellent recommendations. He is the voice of calm when the rest of the market is going crazy. We contracted on one home and then had to withdraw after an unfavorable inspection. We contracted on another one which required dealing with a seller that was out of the country.
James and Kim Hasko
Laurie and I are moving from VA, new state, new area. Gia and Scott not only showed us homes, they introduced us to Gainesville! I’m so glad we decided to partner with Gian and Scott.
Michael and Laurie Lynch
Scott was a fantastic realtor with a wealth of knowledge of the Alachua housing market. He helped narrow down ideal neighborhoods and was always able to supply additional information about the property and area we were look at.
Andrea and Kevin Miller
Ben went very much above the “call of duty”. I moved from another city and Ben took care of everything.
Katherine Baurens
Ben knows the history of Gainesville. He is very knowledgeable of the region.
Richard and Carolyn Curtis
Becky will make herself available to you whenever needed. She researches everything and provides great communication during the entire buying process. She is #1.
Darek and Kate Farmer
Becky Smallwood is fantastic to work with. She always responded promptly, showed up on time and was sure we were doing the right thing.
