Greg Secko Home Building/Real Estate

As first time home buyers, we were feeling overwhelmed by the entire process, and weren’t quite sure how to successfully understand the current housing market in the GTA, and what we needed to do to find the best home for us and our new baby. Our Realtor, Greg, was referred to us by a friend of our family, so we knew we would be able to trust him, but what we didn’t know was all the ways he would go above and beyond for us throughout the entire process. At our first meeting, Greg came to our home prepared with information about the current housing market in the GTA, and clearly explained all of the things we should know, and that would help us better decide on where to focus our search. He got to know our family, understand our list of wants, and always maintained an open mind with regard to what we considered our perfect home. As most Realtors do, Greg loaded our preferences into a database that would send us current available listings each day. In addition to that (which most realtors don’t do), Greg would comb through each one, keeping all of our wants in mind, and would provide specific feedback regarding those he thought would be the best fit. Given his extensive knowledge of the housing market, costs associated with renovating older homes, and the neighbourhoods in which we were looking to buy, every home he chose was definitely worth looking at. Greg would meet us at the homes we were interested in, was extremely flexible with his time, and never made us feel rushed. He was very honest about any renovations/updates that would need to take place, and could tell us what type of costs we would be looking at. At no point in the process did we ever feel pressured. In fact, if during the visit Greg felt that the house would not be a good fit, he would let us know, and would explain why. The amount of accessibility we have had to Greg, and his response time have been outstanding. We have had a million questions during our search process, and he was able to answer all of them. In several cases he would reach out to his network of contacts, and would get back to us with information. We are so happy and excited to have found the home we know will be the perfect place to raise our son, and live in for many years to come. We are currently in the process of renovating as we purchased an order property, and Greg has remained involved by way of providing us with trusted tradespeople, providing advice when needed, and following along with our progress. He is as excited to see the finished product as we are! There were so many details to look at as we went through the process of finding a home, including: deciding on an area that fit our needs and how to be a buyer in a market that seemed to have way more buyers than sellers. Working with Greg made the process seem easy, and we feel like experts now. We can't thank him enough for sharing his knowledge and making this such a great experience!

Greg was very helpful with a zoning issue that we had in our area. Appreciate as he went out of his way to find out information that was very important for us.

Greg has been incredibly supportive and helpful this past year while I evaluated different real estate options available to me. He was very patient and always coming up with creative solutions to address financial hurdles I was facing. He took the time to make sure that I considered all angles and felt comfortable with my decisions. I would highly recommend Greg to family and friends that are selling or buying a home or looking to build a new home.

I used Greg's real estate services to assist in both purchase and sell a home within a short time frame. Greg is knowledgeable, professional and client oriented. He respected our own market knowledge and our ideas about how we wanted the process to go, and was very collaborative. I was very comfortable with having him represent us, and felt that his compensation expectations were reasonable.

As a real estate agent and private contractor Greg Secko cannot be beat. We've worked with Greg on everything from renovations to rebuilds and of course also as a real estate agent. Greg's in depth knowledge as a contractor separates him from other agents because he can spot possible underlying issues and he can help clients create their dream home vision from diamonds in the rough. If you are looking for an agent or contractor who is genuinely interested in the future well-being of his clients (and not just collecting a pay cheque), then Greg is your guy. I've referred Greg to family members and close friends and all have been extremely satisfied. THANKS GREG! Looking forward to working with you again in the future. Blake & Jackie

Recommend for real estate services. Very efficient and profession and personalized service for his clients. We have used Greg for two home sales and one home purchase. He truly wants to ensure satisfaction and will give you his full attention to any questions or concerns during the entire process.

Greg was amazing as a Realtor. He was truly passionate about finding the right house fit for our needs and budget :) Would totally recommend Greg and definitely use him in the future if ever searching for a new home.

I have known Greg for about 10 years. He lived across the street from my son and I did get to know him. He is respectful and a joy to work with both on a professional and personal level. He is probably focused on facts to a fault. He makes sure ever aspect when dealing with him will be both a pleasant and memorable experience for everyone involved. I have seen both homes he has built and renovated personally. Having purchased a condo from Greg 4 years ago I have never forgot what a wonderful experience it was. When my younger son decided to buy a home the following year there was never any doubt as to who he would deal with. Greg has now sold and bought two homes for him. He is without a doubt the most professional yet gentle real estate person I have ever dealt with. Greg you are one of a kind!

We used Greg's service to sell our condo and when buying our house. He is an amazing realtor, down to earth and someone who has great insight and knowledge about the realty market. What sets him apart from others is that he is also a custom home builder and he provided some great tips when it came time for renos at our place. Greg put us in touch with one of his general contractors who did an excellent job renovating our house. Our experience with Greg has been wonderful and we would never hesitate to recommend him.

Greg is knowledgable, confident and committed to his clients. Through his company, Secko Homes , Greg's builds and renovations are done on time and on budget and are always admired by neighbours. His financial background offers a huge advantage to his clients. His experience as a builder puts clients at ease when decided on real estate purchases, as Greg has the answers to all questions regarding renovations costs. Above all this, Greg is truly interested in all his clients, he loves his chosen profession and is honest. I highly recommend Greg as an agent and a builder. You will not be disappointed when you work with Greg! Caroline V

Greg is very knowledgeable about houses, areas and negotiations. He was very patient with us and our small kids. The time finding a house was relatively easy and it helped that Greg has a sense of humour. Greg was knowledgeable about upgrades, prices, house inspection possibilities, people who could complete the electrical work and timelines.

Greg is one of the hardest working, reliable and honest Real Estate Agents. As a first time home buyer, he has done everything to make sure that we make a purchase based on our wants, goals and needs. He is extremely intelligent in regards to renovations and the current housing market trends. I have loved working with Greg since the first house we went to see and I cannot wait to find and buy our perfect, first home with Greg as our agent.
